It appears that some rarer, privately owned cars may be driven by their owner, masquerading as the Stig. This was the case for the Maserati MC12, privately owned by Frank Mountain, a successful property developer; the car was at the time the only one in the country. Heikki Kovalainen (the Renault F1 test driver) admitted to driving the Renault R24 F1 car around the track in the 2004 series, clothed as the Stig.

Interesting...

Now, should we really trust wikipedia? We could spread some rumour by mentioning the possibility of Jabba being the real STIG

Looks like it's been fixed already. But the fact that changes were allowed and did stay on the page for a period of time is simply unacceptable for an "encyclopedia".
