Stirling Moss
« on: April 21, 2015, 09:57:05 AM »
Great one hour documentary with Patrick Stewart as the host and co-participant.  Really really great if you be over 55 because you are old enough to know who is who and know the cars.  A side note -- at several moments Stewart's breath is taken away so genuinely and his reactions are so honestly compelling . . . I want to say I would feel the same way especially with the 300 SL.

Lastly, the banter betwixt the 83 year old Moss and 72 year old Stewart about girls, life, cars, et al was dead solid perfect.  Hope some enjoy this as much as I.

At the end of this, Jean Luc Picard says, "This beats the Enterprise any day."

I toss this out to coax our younger set.  This is worth one hour.  The prattle is "cars and gals."  The substance is legend.

Moss has a cameo in the original "casino royale" where Sellers yells for moss who pulls up in a lotus.

Sellars says "chase that car" and moss gets out of the car and chases the bad guy's car on foot.

Sellars says "Idiot!.........should have used Fangio" before getting into the lotus formula 3 car and saying how much he loves the car.
