SIR,—I would like to place on record the extra- ordinary
pleasure I get through driving my Ohio Roadwonder. I have owned a considerable number of cars, the first of which was a Clyno with bassinet body, back in 1921. After this came a Trojan Tourer and a succession of others, all of which failed me, either by their inability to go suitably fast or through plain lack of ruggedness.
Still seeking an acceptable car I bought a Rolls- Royce, but the hills on the Brighton road made it catch fire; and two Rovers which I owned broke in half. So now I have my Ohio, and with it motoring contentment. It is a large car by any standards, but the twenty-seven-cylinder engine whisks it about most nimbly. Petrol consumption is around four and a half miles to the gallon (I can afford this), except when the booster is being used for extra acceleration. The car is strikingly handsome and the two-tone body —purple and orange—is set off by an all-chromium top which can be detached and used as a boat. Long projections at front and rear give a dashing look, and I once got a French onion-seller with the offside front. I love to sit in my Ohio and watch the crowd that it attracts. The occupant of a great car is apt to become great also.—Yours faithfully,
H. M. MALIES 32 Pembroke Crescent, Hove, Sussex
