Sad to hear Stirling Moss has died. Once interviewed him at his elegant Mayfair house. There was a button he installed for when he had dates round, which seemed to do nothing. "But the bath would run two floors up. I’d say, 'Now you’ve run the bath, we better go have one.'" Lad.

He had a portion of the living room ceiling cut out so that his wife could put a meal on a tray in the kitchen upstairs, press a button, and send it down so it descended into his lap while he watched TV. Very Thunderbirds.

He was fairly dismissive of the SLR series that Mercedes named after him and I loved how he described the type of driving he preferred: "I’d far rather take a small car and drive it really hard and wring its neck."
