So this was the best car ever. I drove this thing from Durban to Johannesburg at the drop of a hat. In fact, if I wasn't behind the wheel it meant I was asleep or on the loo. It was an absolute pleasure. However, it wasn't exactly resilient. The car was essentially made of wood and the bodywork was hammered over wooden frames and tacked down. It posed no problem until I drove into a bus. It had mchanical brakes and I just couldn't stop in time. The wooden frame broke and the car became very wobbly indeed.
