| -2- (4) Brakes. Thawing to-day and in the slush the brake thumps were exceptionally bad, making driving in American traffic conditions most distressing in M.R. worse than Ferobestos for this trouble. We ought to push the direct coupled front and rear as hard as we can. (5) Suspension. Am more than ever convinced that we want lower rating springs and adjustable dampers on this car for American conditions. Body rattles awful. Have the sunshine roofs been rectified on production for letting draughts in at back ? Ton. | ||
