| (4) Contd 4 is struck with one wheel it has the effect of jerking the steering wheel violently, and occasionally one receives a nasty blow on the fingers dealt by the spokes of the steering wheel. The springing is good but the rear springs are on the strong side. The car holds the road wonderfully well even at speeds between 50 & 60 miles per hour. There are no rattles so far from shock absorber joints or spring shackles. It is rather early to give any definite criticism as we have only covered about 220 miles but the above are my first impressions.
