So can anybody give a brief synopsis of what the great man had to say? I and others here would surely appreciate it. Cheers Mark
He talked about his recent accident with an expensive older car where he t-boned another car, said that he would not have lend himself the car if he had been the owner, (made Letterman laugh) talked about how it was done in the old days, where they would race with short sleeved shirt and that he taught it was "woossy" to wear a helmet, and that Fangio is, to him , the greatest GP driver of all times. He said he was faster in Sports Cars than Fangio but that in F1, where the ultimate talent is required, Fangio was the best. In all, a very good, but too short interview with an apparently very healthy, intelligent and humorous man. Robert =:-D

One thing about ole "gap-tooth", you can tell when he's really interested in his guests (good-looking women and athletes). You could tell the respect he had for Stirling Moss. Gene > On Sun, 26 Sep 1999 08:27:26 +1000, > >If he was appearing on that Letterman thing, he wouldn't have been given a

Yes, I thought Dave showed much respect and interest in what Stirling had to say. And didn't you love the way Stirling came bounding up on the stage, the man is still fast! I loved the photograph Dave showed of Stirling in the Mercedes GP car smiling at Bernard Cahier's camera. don [|]-(_)-[|] >One thing about ole "gap-tooth", you can tell when he's really interested in >his guests (good-looking women and athletes).
