The Staride was on of the more "idiosyncratic" 5oo's.

The brakes must have been amazing because the rear crumple zone is huge!!

Been hanging by the rafters in a garage for years until last year

I sadly missed the Historic GP this year, but they have always been great fun to watch. I remember getting roped in to help push start a 500 up the pitlane one year. For those who don't know, the pitlane in Zandvoort is up hill! Also getting spat in the face by unburnt fuel and puffs of exhaust while pushing a racing car up hill was no fun at all.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!
