6,000 MILES FOR WAGER
GRUELLING MOTOR TRIP A British made motor car arrived in London recently on the completion of a 6,000 miles journey from Lahore, in the Punjab. Looking very little the worse for its adventurous journey across mountains, plains and deserts, the car was driven along Piccadilly almost unnoticed by the crowds on the pavement. At the wheel of the ArmstrongSiddeley was Mr. J. A. R. Bromage, of the Indian Government Engineering Service, and with him were Mr. S. G. Stubbs, a road engineer, and Mr. Mahommed, Mr. Bromage’s Indian chauffeur.
“The journey was made following a half-crown wager with a fellow clubman in Lahore some months ago,” said Mr. Bromage. “The journey took 73 days, 41 of which were running days. Throughout the journey we had only two punctures, one being caused by a sandal nail in the Syrian Desert.”
