| -2- make of car. Far superior to anything that I have ever tried on any other. I took the car at a fair speed over hump-backed bridges which I know very well and over which I could not possibly have taken any of my other cars with any degree of comfort. Frome is really difficult. It seems to me that the fitting of an oil cooler is a real improvement. When reviving on third on quitting a steep hill, I found that for such a length of time to stop jamming that the benefit is sufficient. An allowance for my inexperience in handling it. I think that an improvement. The steering wheel seemed to me to be.. a button which works the dim and dip system was in a perfect position, and without somehow or other using a shield from the horn on the end of the lever I found that my sleeve had a tendency to foul the lever when reaching over the wheel. It ought to be disposed of these controls. I passed on my ATTOCI which is about a matter and very fast. To flatten out all the controls on the steering wheel would be more convenient. I took the car out from Salisbury - let you know this road for high speed is extremely variable, and in it pretty well. Salisbury running the car up to the eminence, and I recovered just eighty miles at a certain speed of about twenty-five miles. The engine was absolutely that two of twelve miles and just as I really wanted to test this short journey which was apparently due to the pit. I have a central horn the size of a half-crown in diameter.

I have mentioned that the steering wheel I am sure it... Winchester. I have no doubt the speed, and I know every little dip over Salisbury plain. I started off from S28 and on the level I was able to show me down. I drove like this for about ten or sixty-eight when the engine on down grades of speed came to a bit of the road and the car she began to pop and spit. | ||
