X.3461b; I have wired you to-daynto say the offside shock absorber lever has broken at the same place as the one reported last week, so that now the car is being run without shock absorbers on the rear, but as I am still drivingthe car gently on account of piston rattles, I cannot give you any information about their effect on the steering. | ||
