| -2- HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/KW.21.11.35. I did my best to get the car back onto the road but the wheels would not hold on the grass, and the offside front wheel hit the tree, then the offside of the car rubbed along the tree, doing extensive damage to the coachwork. The car then skidded round and finished in the position shown on the sketch." HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
