I have always wondered ...
#21
'In the days when I traveled to and from Cambridge to Dundee for University I used the hand throttle on the A1. In the winter I could then put my feet on the gearbox for added warmth.'
When I was an apprentice, I used to sometimes cadge a lift home from Night School with a classmate who owned a Model A  truck, a close cousin of the one the Clampett (Beverley Hillbillies) family drove. He always used the hand throttle on the motorway to avoid  getting warm feet, apparently a real issue on the RHD models due to the closeness of the exhaust manifold.
