| Extract from Mr Johnson's memo CJ17/D301012 -------------------- I have just been out on Mr Northey's new car 2095. He is disappointed with it because there is an extraordinary rumble, especially at slow speeds. I have tried it. At slow speeds, in picking up, the vibration appeared to be so slow that one would have thought it was a seized universal joint in the transmission, or something of that sort. I am very anxious to have a report from you on this. Fleck has driven the car to Derby, I believe in order to have the axle changed. Please test it for this vibration and report to me. C.J.
