Apparently, the Aussie Stig is done by both Neil and Rick Bates... A mate of mine saw them in the white racing suits when they were were filming the Aussie Top Gear last year...Originally Posted by PhillipVWDealer

First I've heard that Neil Bates was an Aussie Stig. Rick Bates was an easy pick. There is a third Aussie Stig, though.

yeah he has been. they can't keep the stig when everyone knows who he is. he's not suppose to be anyone, he's a thing!
in Drive they said that steve pizatti (in the crappy aussie version of top gear) was thinking bout it. he wouldn't even be in the top 100.

Aussie stig is John Bowe. (That didnt come from me...)
