Anyone know who the old fella who drives these cars around? He must be about 70 or so always wears a bowler hat, quite short i've seen him at BP Melling a few times driving

a blue ford escort rs and
a silver wrx ( maybe v7? ) type r with a half cage and enkei nt03s

obviously has quite some taste in cars!! is he a dealer or something??

Don't know if he's bald because everytime I see him he's wearing a hat, not a hardout bowler hat sorry more like a camping hat I guess hahaha. BUt yeah short and slightly round. Is now on a couple of canes as well
