| - 2 - You may possibly be able to give some better explanation, which I suggest should be sent, with copy of my remarks to C. I do not consider it the least surprising that a car driven at that speed, and hitting a bank should turn over, as obviously the energy of the car has to go somewhere, and with the right hand side of the car running up a bank it would naturally turn over. In this respect we are no worse off than any normal touring car, so far as the chassis is concerned. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
