Harper Collins trying to out the Stig

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11058504

Seems the BBC and Top Gear have filed a suit to stop Harper Collins from publishing a book that reveals who is under the helmet.

What they shoudl do is run a disinformation campaign . let them publish the book but then do a bunch of segments showing the Stig and the Collins and whoever else the book says it is, together in various races etc. Like batman having someone stand in when Bruce has to appear at the same time as the caped crusader.

Could film the stig driving to someones house then show that someone leaving but then show the stig still in the house...

I agree, the Top Gear guys could have a ton of fun by having people stand in for the Stig to take away credebility of this book.
Even if the guy is who they say it is, it would still make for great TV and continue the mystery that is their Tame Racing Driver.

The Stig is not a person, he's a character. We don't even know if it's the same guy under the helmet every time. Doesn't matter.

I'm here to help!
what's funny is that I actually have a thread on this forum dedicated just to that video so it was easy to grab the link for you guys.

Figured that would either horrify some people or make their day.
