It has only been an ordinary drive round, and the only test carried out by PN{Mr Northey}, was, to drive the car up a climb of 2000 ft to the summit of Le Rivard in 2nd Gear to see if the engine would boil, but our maximum water temperature was 90°C. We leave here tomorrow for Auxerre on our way to Paris, | ||
