A Well known Wairarapna squatter, who has had a great amount of experience with many different maktis of motorcars, and who has now bctn using a Darracq constantly for the past two years, writes: "There rs no doubt whatever that the Darracq is the nimst suitable for onr New Zealand rough and hilly reals, and I have no cans* for complaint: I never fail to reach home when I wend on a long tour. As a lot of probable nK-tor car buyers are afraid of the upkeep they would do "rt-ell by calling at the Garage of Messrs Skeates and Boekaert where they can get fnll particulars of the new arrangement which this firm has made, and that is to cive a guarantee for the. upkeep per year, for everv car which they sell: this guarantee inclndeti storage, oil", cleaning. Ivt«v. nwl in fact everything except petrol. Tlie reason whv this firm can guarantee the upkeep is "that by the past seven years experience they have found that the T)r>rracf( and O 'lion firs are by far the cheapest on the market, as regards urteep. When one thinks that Darraeqs triumph, in turn, in speed races pnre and simple, where they have many a time brought off splendid victories in reliabilitv trials, and in tests of patrol roninetition. it is a *-l-ar proof of the multiple qualities of tlie ideal car. which has pawsed its tests in all tournament** op»'n to tlie motor industry thronghout the world. ...
