Changes in wildlife.


Recommended Posts

I can remember a good story about Stirling Moss when he visited N.Z. in the early 1960's. He hired a car and discovered N.Z.'s great roads - little traffic, good road surfaces, long stretches where he could wind the car out, and twisty bits where he could practice his corning techniques.

 

But unbeknowns to Stirling, he was being chased by one very angry Traffic Patrol Policeman in a panting Zephyr.

 

When the cop in the nearly-expired, overheated Zephyr, finally caught up to Stirling, and flagged him down, the copper jumped out, notebook in hand, red-faced and flustered, and yelled out - "Just who the Hell do you think you are? - to be driving like that? Stirling Moss??"   LOL

Stirling would be great to have a beer with.

 

I guess he was over for the Trans tasman series, all the F1 boys would come and race and party in OZ and NZ each year. They reckon it was the best time of the calendar, less pressure, great weather and hot women.

Moss was notorious for being hard on gearboxes.. Often that makes it harder to win races..He also had some monumental Prang about that time and was somewhat different as a personality after that. Grahame Hill was a very unassuming person  and died in a light Twin he was piloting which crashed in low vis conditions in the UK There's always plenty of half naked dolls/bimbo's around the Pits. 1/2 the people in the world are women.. Nothing to get excited about .Nev
