Rough riding, 1920 - email from jksw.


2 ½ minutes of rough riding in a Dodge 1920.

I believe I was in  one  in the 1940s. A wedding. As a pre- teen, I got showed into the old jalopy.

Soon most other cars broke down trudging from Badulla  up steep to Welimada in slithering mud and rain.

Also rescued  up stalled new cars that trip while we podians had to kick our heels at the top till the rescue was complete.

Our driver our hero that day!
Huge engines. High clearance, not the 165mmm of today!
