The Stig drives California?

Today I got on the 91W in Corona, and saw this guy: http://daveswaney.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album02&id=Photo_092307_008

Other shots show the license plate better. I chased him onto the 71N and caught up to give a vigorous thumbs up. Certainly just a Top Gear fan too, but it was still a bit of a thrill. Waiting for season 10 next month. Oh boy, oh boy…

Oh, anyone know what car this is?

Do you know if it was really The Stig, or just a fanboy license plate?

Looks like it is a Lotus Exige.
