Remember how we told you yesterday those Dutch bloggers of autos at autoblog.nl claimed Top Gear's Stig was none other than German racer Tim Schrick? Well, they were wrong. Thank goodness. But seriously, frigging fan-boy bloggers — they never get this stuff right. In fact, Jalopnik commenter and writer-on-photos champ smokyburnout has pointed out that not only is he not Das Stig, he's even given us a handy graphic to prove it. As you can see above from this shot taken from an entirely different location — a grassy knoll, we believe — you can see Stiggie's head clearly visible on the left and there's Schrick's head back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over...yeah, sorry, we saw JFK again the other night.
