Like the first picture of you fighting off Ricky Hutch in his big power mk2 
THAT'S RICKY HUTCHINSON???!!! 
King of the Palace (Crystal)
He's the chap who had the LUNATIC 'P' reg British Racing Green 1.6 sport on Cosworth rims with a 2.1 all steel dry sumped Pinto with 50s and no air cleaners that I told you about a while back.
He's the one that turned up to the Chelsea cruise one night with a racing fuel cell sunk in the boot floor and the arse end all tubbed out in alloy, Kevlar bonnet boot and doors and perspex windows with polysterene cups jammed in the doors to keep the perspex drop-glass up.
It used to go across Battersea bridge in such an interesting style.
Saw his car (after hearing it coming for a couple of minutes) enter the roundabout by the gates of Chelsea park and do two or three laps of it completely sideways, the whole way round, in the dry. 
Bit of a South London hero from the early 1990s. He had an X-Pack car built for the Vecta Fast Ford challenge too.
I'm wondering now if that white car is a new build/aquisition or perhaps put together from any one of his cars from years ago.
are you sure its the same guy
Well, i'm no Poirot/Columbo/Miss marple, but going on the fact that he's driving a very serious MK II Escort around Brands hatch and that Joe referred to him as 'Ricky Hutch', i'd say there is at worst a slim chance.
If he's a stocky chap in his mid forties with dark hair, that kind of adds weight to the argument too.

No, a 'visit' is merely a shadowy, nondescript figure in a long dark overcoat with a silenced pistol (usually in an underground car park) that one won't see coming until it's too late.
A bit like the one that 'dealt' with the genuine Ashley Gleave after his comment about new Audis being boring, or words to that effect.

You know the Audi employee that Clarkson said had been taken outside and shot? I knew him

This is pretty much a dead cert, with luck, by the way.
If you happen to be in Scaaatchland at the right time, i'll be the bloke wearing a tartan top hat in the shiney emeradlish green Rover 75 that sounds uncannily like an Imperial Tie Fighter, driving back (at speed presumably) from either Callander or Perthshire with the theme from Local Hero by Mark Knopfler blaring out of the windows. (Eck wil presumably be slumped across the back seat)
Or, if you're in the land of well, the axis of evil to be strictly honest, i'll be the stealth Englishman, sporting the tin helmet and comedy moustache, careering laterally off the end of an autobahn in a blue W124 Series with a Maltese cross on the bonnet and 'staff' emblazoned on the back doors.

Yeh thats the guy, that mk2 is an rs1800 with a big spec YB and a slighty mad m3 rear diff/sus setup
He also has a big wide yellow 309 cosworth race car and probably loads of other crazy rwd toys

Good god. Small world.
I've got a Ford mag with that Escort in it.
Never read the article. Didn't know that was the car and didn't know it belonged to Ricky.
If that is a genuine RS1800 then and holy crap cos he's flushed a fortune. They're worth a mint standard and clean.
There was only ever 109 of them so if it's the car I think it is, it was already VERY unoriginal
If it's on a 'Y' plate, then he must have bought a very well known car that belonged to a bloke called Attah, years ago. I don't think that's how you spell his name either.
If it is that car, it was famous for being on a weird reg and having a YBD and also for having had about forty odd grand poured into it, the thick end of twenty years ago.
The last time I saw it, it had been standing a while. It was rotten filthy and covered in moss and the YBD was being swapped out for a BDA at HT Racing.
I've heard a rumour that his BRG flat front is now an amberish yellow coloured track car with wide arches and split rims. End of a legend if true.
That Peugeot rings a bell. That was a purpose built track car and was in Fast car years ago. Rick must have bought that off the original owner. I'd love to see his fleet now.
He used to have a white BX as his daily driver. That sticks in my head.

Don't know. Brands requested that you do it so that it reduces any glass on the track in the event of it shattering.
I did it because I've always wanted to do it and never had an excuse before.

Bloody hell Joe! Nice find! So that IS the one. I'm a bit sad now as that car was quite unique and groundbreaking. It really was a first in it's heyday.
To have taken that away is such a shame. It's a fantastic car now, but just isn't the same motor any more.
I was first told about it in 1990 by one of my school mates who had an apprenticeship at a Ford garage. One of his workmates there knew Atta and told him all about the car.
So I had it reported to me shortly after that this fella had a genuine Ford motorsport (RS1800) shell which he'd built up as a new car in 1982, hence it having a 'Y' registration two years after the MK II had gone out of production.
Late MK IIs are on Vs and Ws. To find an 'X' is rare as hens teeth and usually down to a car sitting for ages at a dealer or in a compound, so a Y plate is just unheard of.
I was gobsmacked to hear that he'd built this car with no expense spared and that he'd invested something like thirty eight grand in it.
It had everything including genuine magnesium Minilite deep dish wheels, a clever rear end, proper works arches, a serious diff and five speed box, plus lots of extra guages, including one for boost.
The most amazing thing was that it was fitted with a Sierra Cosworth engine (RS500 spec iirc) while Sierra Cosworths were still brand new and being sold for 25k+ in showrooms across the country.
To put this into context, it would be a bit like someone building a brand new Focus RS now from a Series 1 motorsport shell and then putting an evolution of the latest Focus RS engine in it.
Only the Escort was on a MUCH grander scale than anything contemporary like a focus could be.
For me, a bloke driving about in a less than perfect, six hundred quid, 1.3 MKII, it was quite a revelation and quite depressing too as I was skint and wanted what he had so badly.
When I eventually saw it, completely by chance, parked up at Brands, I nearly fell over.
It was like an Ex Works Grp4 tarmac car and then some. It really did have everything. Plus it was about the meanest, widest, most decked MK II I had ever clapped eyes on.
Is that your mag Joe? I think i've got that one somewhere.
Oh, btw, that Anglia is/was nuts too. Stripped out and a big slot in the front panel so the RS 500 intercooler could hang out.
I saw that run at Santa Pod in spring 1993 and it was just dangerously powerfull.
Whilst I was there, I had a report from a mate who'd been to the previous Chelsea Cruise that i'd missed (gutted) and he informed me the Anglia had been there and that the owner had crossed the entire span of Battersea bridge, quickly, with the wheels spinning the entire time.
Sorry for the essay btw.

Oh and the Escort ran cut Avon slicks on the road. He used to carry the certificate in the glove box to prove they had been made road legal by the manufacturer for the benefit of the police.
