CARS AND THE ROAD

OPENING OF THE MOTORIST’S TOURING SEASON

SOME NOTES ON CARS AND EQUIPMENT

INTRODUCTION:

Although motoring has moods and modes,

it may be said to have no tenses.

No term of the calendar bans the motorist’s enjoyment.

He holds the key of the open road,

and can translate time and place with such facility

that the will and the opportunity

to exchange summer for winter,

or winter for summer,

are his only barriers.

These, in many instances, are so all-sufficient that,

while motoring is an all-the-year-round pastime,

touring has largely become

a matter of inviting weathers and holiday periods.

Standing, as we do, on the threshold of Whitsuntide,

we are at the beginning of the recognised

touring season,

and accordingly,

a few observations on touring and touring cars

will not be inappropriate.

There are two essentials to an enjoyable tour-

a reliable car and a skilled and careful driver.

Given these, no holiday,

however brief or broken,

no country, however bald and uninteresting,

fails to yield some pleasure.

Without one or both of the pleasure,

like the orchard-robbing urchin’s adventure,

is a fearful joy.

Happily, both can be arranged with a certitude to-day

which renders enjoyment inevitable-

given a good itinerary and fair weather.

With the resources of the touring departments

of the Automobile Association,

The Royal Automobile Club,

and the Motor Union at his disposal,

the British motorist has only himself to blame

if his route is ill-chosen

or his arrangements insufficient.

As a member of the A.A.,

I can cordially recommend its touring bureau

to any motorist desiring to travel

at home or abroad.

His itinerary will be planned for him,

hotels selected,

and minute instructions provided

to enable him to deal easily and effectively

with the ordinary incidents of foreign travel;

while its admirable handbook

is a motorist’s vade mecum

to the enjoyment of touring in the British Isles.

Our way is thus cleared to consider

the motor-car itself.
