My special is on a late Ruby chassis with full Girlings (rods to the rear) and has locked up all 4 in an emergency, when an infant ran into the road from behind a car. Anticipation and complete concentration is needed at all times with any non modern car. I have driven veterans with all sorts of braking from spoons on the tires to a Lanchester with multiple plate drive line, Iron shoes in Steel drums and tiller steering. Other drivers were always the main accident threat. I dread the time when smart cars will be driving on smart roads and we have to deal with that.
