Well, methinks you walked right back into a car thread
  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.

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...

I thereby confirm that you are clear of any vehicular and/or beerish 
influence, Cotty ...

It looks like a display case? of sorts that is clear perspex and lit from
the inside.  You can see the reflection on his glasses and it is clearly
providing the lighting on his face...

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.

Did I say I only ever present finished items ? Time for a drink ;-)

Unless I'm very mistaken, the man is Leonard K. Setright, one of the
best vehicle (he writes about bikes and cars) journalists in the English
language.  To give you an idea of his capabilities, his book on BMWs is
called "'Bahnstormer".  Someone I have wanted to meet for a long time.

Line 4 above should read 'in the *crop*.

Good point Eleanor, now that you mention it, it is very distracting,
isn't it. I't a heavily illuminated car engine. I had no choice but to
leave it in as i wanted the handkerchief in the pocket to stay. I suppose
a closer crop would lose it but then one would wonder what the
reflections were in the glasses. Oh fiddlesticks. I should have left it
full frame!

Thanks

It's a car engine heavily illuminated - the shot was grabbed at the 2002
UK Motor Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. Only time
for 2 frames before the chap moved off. I kept the guy behind in the drop
as it would have been a bit tight if he'd gone, and I don't do Digital
Removal (tm) . Keeps it busy.

Actually I think it's John Francis
