Dave:

If you knew Striling Moss, you'd know this story is nothing more than
an "urban legend."  His great driving abilities were only surpassed by
his promotional skills, especially of himself!

For someone who shoots Nikon, this Galen dude has really extracted a lot
of bandwidth!!

Cheers,
Arturo

I believe it was the English race driver Stirling Moss who once got into
this argument with someone. I don't remember all of the details, but the
gist of the story is that he took a brick truck (literally a brick truck)
out on the race course and came within very few seconds of the record
at the
Brands Hatch (SP) raceway. Proving once again that a master is a master
regardless of the tool in his hand. (snip)
