Journeys with Gelignite Jack
Evan Green, Rigby Limited, 1966.
Trips
around Australia are becoming more and more common, but none will ever
rival the figure-of-eight crossing - surely the most gruelling test
a new brand of oil ever underwent - made by four men and two sedan cars,
one a Mini and the other an Austin 1800. Encouraged and constantly entertained
- by the famous 'Gelignite Jack', the inimitable and irrepressible Jack
Murray - they completed the journey from east to west and back again
in a remarkably short time. It was as much an endurance test as
an oil test, but both 'Castrol' and men were more than equal to the
task.

Unsafe
At Any Speed
Ralph
Nader (consumer advocate)
You
probably have heard of Ralph Nader - the USA consumers advocate.
He wrote this book during the late 1960's and it was a 'damning' report
on the then current US car production. In it he states that the Morris
1800 (Landcrab) built in the UK, was the safest car of the time with
its suspension, brakes, and body construction. He stressed the
fact that, if the 1800 was involved in a head on collision, the whole
power unit goes under the car and not into the occupants.
