I have just received a fax from BBC TOP GEAR. It reads:

Dear Mr Burger,

Thank you for your enquiry as to the identity of 'The Stig'. This is a question we get asked a lot and as you will appreciate, the hidden identity adds to the mystery and the fun element of the show. If we just tell everyone it is Martin Brundle the secret would be out very quickly. Oh crap. I just told you. Bo**ocks.

Mr Mc Burger, you are the greatest and we really wish you would consider the anchor job at top Gear. Then we could get rid of the bumbling oaf Clarkson. How he won American Idle I'll never know. The trouble we've had. As for that poisoned dwarf Hammond and that long haired public schoolboy twit May, they have nothing on Omega Forum and the great McBurger.

I hope this helps.

You sure you're not getting mixed up here? Mark Webber and Damon Hill have indeed been on the show, but only as guests and both had a go in the reasonably priced family car. Incidentally, Mansell also had a go in it and caned both of their lap times as I recall.
