Just happened to be glancing thorugh the London Evening standard when I noticed an article about Top Gear whereby a Jag owner was complaining about his car being ruined by the Stig, The reporter then went on to name the ral name of the Stig...

Did anyone else see this? I presume his name is now out in the public domain?
I didn't see last weeks Top Gear in case they revealed Stig themsleves, but I won't publish his name as yet in case.

Doh... just seen this has been covered on another thread..must have been drinking too muc sparkling Perry

Yep....I knew his name back in Jan as when I test drove a Tuscan at Castle TVR the guy who took me out (not Michael Caine) was a historic racing driver and told me who it was!

There is more than one STIG.
The other is a good friend of Perry.
(Ten-tenths.com has a good thread on this)
