  1. I guess you took the info from the link at face value and I don't know for certain whether or not it is correct. Going by the information in this story it is possible the photo was taken on the occasion that the car followed the cycle race. http://www.steamcar.net/z-christies.html

    1. I feel no compulsion to fact check every thing I post. I'm not being paid for accuracy nor research. I see no history of my inviting anyone to find what I post as gospel, carved in granite, or an authoritative expert by any means.

      I am just a car guy. I do not claim any more, nor any less.
