Oops! In reviewing #233 I have over looked that I have also owned in the past no less than THREE Dodge Fours.

I could be excused for overlooking these as not many people would readily recognise them as anything as plebian as a Dodge Four!

Bentley 3 Litre drivers beware!

The car in the top photograph, and with a new adventurous owner, was a regular and successful competitor at the South Australian "Salt Lakes" speed trials.  All were fitted with highly developed engines, all with 2inch SU carburettors and outside exhausts. The SLOWEST of the three,  the middle car with "Le Mans" style body was good for over 75mph





Thank you Scott,

I have now copied your "Spark Plug Recommendations Chart" to my 1920 Studebaker File. And I now know exactly what I should be looking for. Yesterday must have been special or something, It will go down in my history as FIM day. (Foot in mouth) I really do appreciate all the help and support that you offer. I really do not know how I could have overlooked anything so important.

Going back to my encounters with Dodge fours, I would hate anyone to think that I had been chopping up good original cars.
