Hi! Hope it wasn't done on Saturday, Cotty. Normally, observing Jews, which seems to be the case with this fellow, don't like to be photographed on Saturdays...

Re: PAW - Hat and Beard
Well, methinks you walked right back into a car thread LOL That dude with a hat looks to be non other than LJK Setright, the noted automotive journalist and writer. Dug up a pic of him in an old Motorsport mag I had stashed away, and damn, I bet that's him. He was younger then, as the pic was from quite a few years ago ... still, the resemblance is too close to dismiss the possibility.

Not many with a beard like that. Somewhere in my collection of motorcycle literature, I have a picture of him (with only a goatee) on some hairyarsed Triton, wearing laceup aviator boots, a Norfolk jacket, jodphurs, gauntlets, pudding basin and goggles. One of the few Englishmen with style. mike who on a good day looks like a sack of potatoes.

It looks like a display case? of sorts that is clear perspex and lit from the inside.
