| -2- The brakes were excellent and very well balanced. The performance of the car on steep hills was remarkable on third gear. The riding comfort was generally good but at over 75 m.p.h. there was a tendency to "tail-wag" which one would expect having regard to the wandering steering. At no time did the temperature of the water rise higher than 83 degrees, which was remarkable having regard to the high external temperature. There appears to be no ventilation in the front of the body, and the two passengers sitting there tended to get their limbs thoroughly well baked. At the present moment I feel deeply concerned with the undersirable competition which this car may put up against our 25, the chief difference between them at present is the greater accommodation of the 25, and the greater acceleration of the B.II because at the present moment there is nothing detrimental or unsatisfactory in the so-called "sports" model from the point of view of general running.
