| An owner would not have stopped the engine so quickly & might have done a lot of damage as bits of the 'suicide' JST which might have gone into cylinders. We left Paris about 7 last night & went to Chateauroux & came on here today over the Massif Central. The light steering 75H. was appreciated on the (as a rough calculation) 2000 corners. Since Paris the car has behaved excellently. The brakes are very good & the steering now 75H. wander-free Still no synchro on top or overdrive | ||
