Our own programme was that it should run around some of the hills in the Lake District before the 10,000 miles was completed.

We would suggest that if it is decided the car shall be run by a 'fool', it might be better if the car had its head-quarters in London because this would do away absolutely with the risk of experts touching the car at all.
