| HÔTEL MODERNE TROIS DAUPHINS GRENOBLE underneath. The oil cons: is improving but the gear box still leaks at the front end. Yesterday morning on the autostrada to Bergamo the max speed allowing for Hucks optimism was 94 mph Shake of the whole car is getting worse & worse. The wings (lamps & radiator) all move very noticeably. The body rattles 'par tout'. Steering & brakes are excellent. One can slow down into the futter & out again as when abroad & never reappear on the crown of the road sideways - on as on a B II. The temperature until today has hovered round 0°C, which adds to the excitement of wet roads. GM PS The nut securing the front end of the Δdr Stay to the lower arm is too long & a set down to the main strut is inaccessible. | ||
