There have been two Stigs. The first who dressed all in black, from series 1 and 2 of the current Top Gear format was Perry McCarthy, a professional racing driver who is described as the unluckiest man ever to get into an F1 car - google him for more details. Once his identity was revealed by the daily Telegraph he was "killed off" in a stunt that supposedly went wrong when he drove a Jag XJS off the end of HMS Invincible (in fact they fired the car off with a compressed nitrogen cannon) and replaced with the new Stig who wears all white. Current favourites are former F1 driver Julian Bailey, but it is more likely to be another racing driver, Ben Collins http://www.bencollinsracing.com/... as he has featured as himself in several editions of the show, such as the on with the Evo 8 racing the downhill off-road skateboarder - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huyjr632f... - however these are just popular theories and noone knows who the new Stig is for certain apart from those who work on the show.

He lives in the dump?
If you mean the Stig from Top Gear I reckon it's Duncan Norvelle

no one knows except the people who work on the show, and that is the whole point, the first got found out and got fired.
