Stirling, apart from being an awesome driver of all types of cars, was also a true gentleman and a very unassuming chap. I and some friends came to his assistance at Crystal Palace in the mid 60s, and he repaid our actions by inviting us to join him at a future date at the Steering Wheel Club which was within very easy walking distance from his house's front door.
Only a couple of us were able to make it and were absolutely gobsmacked when he arranged for us to be given complimentary membership of the club. He also insisted that, whenever we were in the area, we should knock in his door to see if he wanted to come out to play, which we did few times.
Lovely bloke.
