Re "Top Gear": Who is "The Stick"?

I know that this is bloody olde hat to you Brits, but we Yanks are new
to this. I'm sure there is speculation in GB about who "The Stick" (Top
Gears' mystery test driver) is. My buddies and I speculate that he's
some British GP or perhaps rally driver. Maybe Jenson Button. Whoever he
is, I can tell by his build that he is fairly young and very compact
like most F1 or motorcycle drivers. There's got to be a reason for the
secrecy. What's the word?

Yep, that was the first Stig. They made a big thing about lobbing him off
an aircraft carrier at one point, and changing him for another version,
more into easy listening........

I've always reckoned it is that guy (ex racer bloke) of 5th Gear
moonlighting on Top Gear...

However the Stig gives advice out to all the 'Stars in a reasonably priced
car' so it assumed that he must be known to those lucky few, and the
blindman who would not be able to identifity him anyway.

Senna ??? or is that just sick?

Tiff - Could be?

As alfistagj states: 'Or some lady driver???'

IN which case, I'm more inclined to think *wish* Vicky Butler-Henderson
Hhmmmmmmmm.

I'm not going to be able to sleep now thinking about her husky voice.

Or is that just sick?
