I am embarrassed to admit that I thought he had died a few years ago.

I had heard Sir Stirling Moss's name bandied about in racing circles about the same as the name Mario Andretti.
Rest in Peace. Last edited by Commander Wallace; 04-12-20 at 06:57 AM. |

This was my introduction to him. I think I was 8 - 10 years old.

Not me, prior to retirement I would often say "Would you like to step out of the car for me Wing Commander"?
