PAGES FROM THE DIARY OF AN AUSTIN OWNER * PAGE 9. Funny how, even in these enlightened days, there are still folk who look on a car as a kind of infernal machine, only to be mastered after a prolonged training in practical mechanics.. Dear old Mater, for example.. Took her for a run to-day, and when well away from the haunts of the traffic, suggested she should take a turn, at the wheel. Nearly swooned at the idea.. Finally plucked up courage, though, and in half-aii-hour was beginning to drive as to the manner born.. «f course, there are cars and cars, and I'll admit that the infernal machine idea is pretty appropriate to some of them. But an Austin; with all controls so handily arranged, ■ engine so sensible of its responsibilities, brakes so utterly' dependablewhy a child could drive it. BRITISH BUILT. 13.9 H.P. TOURER £375.
