The pics don't show his helmet...and if he's playing a German Stig, I'm thinking

I doubt he is ANY Stig. The "real" Stig cannot take off his helmet, as it's attached to his face. If he took it off he might as well have taken his whole head off images/smilies/tongue.gif

Srsly, the real Stig never ever ever ever takes the helmet off, so why would we think this guy was Stiggie? Because he's in white overalls? images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

He's definitely NOT playing the Stig here...it's a completely different suit.

End of Stig discussion please.

Wow, this is brilliant!
Now it also makes sense why they chose Belgium for the filming, seeing that the theme of the show is England vs. Germany (like in the WW, when they fought in Belgium).

Really nice pics, good job!
