Sir Stirling Moss.

[Ace of Pop]

As one of the Heterosexual Endangered Species i see he is under attack by the P.C Mob. JEEZ hes an Old Chap, Old Values. Part of our Motoring Heritage. What say You.

[Woodsie888]

One of the good guys.

Pretty handy with a steering wheel in his day too!

Mille Miglia 1955 - a very special performance indeed.

PC Mob, all half wits.

[Spoonman]

What ?

[harrry]

He was good but had a lot of trouble getting a car to last to the finish line. Saw him at Albert Park.

[arthurwait]

For gawds sake he is 83. Is he really expected not to repeat things that people have said for most his life ?

Legend.

[harrry]

"In my teens I read a book about Prince Bira, a Siamese racing driver before the war, and I thought that sounded like a fabulous life. Travelling round the world, meeting girls, going to parties."

So Thailand was responsible for his career choice.

[arthurwait]

I had to google. Ironic that the only result I found was the Daily Mail.

[transam]

Who's the PC mob. ?

[Jitar]

There are some articles detailing Stirling's response to the criticism in which he comes up with the classic comeback of: "I’m sorry I’ve caused offence, but I’m disappointed anyone could be so narrow-minded as to take offence. It was not meant to cause any.” Not bad for an 83 year old.

[harrry]

He possibly is right about him having spent his whole life chasing girls (or they him)

Still don't know what this about. Hope it's not someone saying SM is gay. ....

Nahh he said he didn't want a Gay Actor to portray him, should a Film be made of his Life

I am available. ............

[WarpSpeed]

What ?

I'm with you, but in terms of Stirling even at 83 like Paul Newman was at a similar age he's still got better skills then 90% of most drivers and displays them at Goodwood on occasion.

I am available. ............ He said no GAY actors! ... Seriously though I'd be a much better choice for the part but only if it really involves driving and especially the classic race cars of the time.

[BSJ]

Half of the English acting establishment are gay or swinging both ways! Surely good old Stirling knew that???

Me of course, set up a test day ... In case you hadn't noticed that's a team Mercedes white drivers suit I'm wearing....

[WarpSpeed]

So I missed it somewhere, has someone already been tagged to play him in a movie script, or is it just generally speaking?

The latter. Just an interview reffering to the James Hunt film.

[Lickey]

And what tyre pressures did Stirling run? did they have ice studs in to make a clunking noise???

[WarpSpeed]

^You must entertain yourself a lot looking in the mirror thinking to yourself how funny you must be..

Are you sure he isn t this man?

Andrea de Cesaris is an Italian former race car driver. He started 208

Formula One Grands Prix but never won; his is the longest career without

a race victory. A string of accidents early in his career earned him

the nickname 'Andrea de Crasheris'

No one remembers his half Brother who emigrated to Canada. The brilliant Off Roader. Sterling Moose.

I am pretty good behind the wheel myself if I say so. 45 years behind the wheel and never had an accident I couldn't crawl away from!
