That would be him, although I've met and talked to Jacky several times back then I wouldn't make him out to be a friend.

Not everyone personally knows or is friends with a legendary racing driver. Does that surprise you?

First time I've seen you mentioning him, but I don't read every thread of course.

Another interesting pic... BMW Z1.
The original idea was to have the option to change the colour whenever you want "quite" easily (2 hours for BMW) but the real thing was more than 15!! Not sure if someone bought the kit after buying the car!! Hahaha (I want one!!!)

He has had many tools in the fire - he has been a private coach and I do recall a Viper driving school somewhere in there - but I see him mostly when he's doing his announcer job for TV.
