I'm pretty sure that if you remove the suit, you'll only find another suit.

The Stig ain't impressed with this thread.
BBC lawyers fight The Stig's bid to lift lid on his identity
11:20 PM on 18th August 2010
His face obscured by a blacked out visor on his helmet, The Stig has become famous as much for his anonymity as his driving skills.
Now the Top Gear star is locked in a bizarre legal dispute with the BBC over an attempt to write his autobiography - a move which threatens to finally lift the lid on his identity.
The broadcaster says he would be breaching a confidentiality agreement and tarnishing the mystery of the show, one of its most popular.
Quite who would want to read a book about a faceless man about whom so little is known is unclear, however.
Only a handful of BBC executives and the programme's presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May know who The Stig is.
The Corporation is desperate to stop him revealing his identity and has called in lawyers, who have warned him that publication would breach his 'contractual' and 'confidentiality' obligations to the BBC2 programme.
But he is continuing to fight them in what is a described as an 'incredibly tense' situation.
It is understood that publishers representing the racing driver have hit back with their own legal letters, raising the prospect of an embarrassing court battle.
Insiders fear the Corporation will end up axing the driver over the dispute, which has said to have deeply upset the show's frontman Clarkson.
Others have suggested The Stig may quit over the stand-off.

A talk show maybe...
