RIP Stirling Moss

[Dave7]

Aged 90.
You have to be of a certain age to remember his hey day but he was special.

Such a shame and such a gentleman

Legend.

It was always the riposte back in the day that whenever a copper stopped you for speeding he'd usually say " Who do you think you are Stirling Moss?". His name was simply synonymous with speed.
Nobody has done more for promoting British motorsports.

I met him, once, after he'd won at Goodwood, sometime in the 1960's. He was walking through the paddock, clutching his laurel wreath, and my dad asked him if it was alright to take a photo (with his Box Brownie!) He was happy to pose with my sister, and I, while my dad took some snaps.
Sadly, the photo has been lost.

RIP A true legend of the track.

Ahhh the good old Brownie 127.
I got one of Minter (the motor bike Minter) and still have it somewhere.

Great minds, I tweeted a similar sentiment earlier.

Wasn't he in a TV commercial with that exact scenario?

You might want to correct the thread title, his name is Stirling.

I've met him. I thought he was a bit of a nob, but i'm not pleased to see the old old feller has dropped off his perch.

This is the1952 Humber Super Snipe which Sterling Moss raced in Portugal. It was also the car that took me to and from my wedding.

RIP a true legend and a gentleman.

He was a little bit in awe of himself

Oh, and not someone to share a lift with, either. Too soon?
