Au contraire Chris, - when Hubert Davies, Garrett's agent in South Africa, arranged a challenge match with a Sentinel 6 wheeler in 1929 (presume it was a DG6) over 62 miles,and with the same load, the Garrett beat the Sentinel by 17 minutes. The Sentinel set off ten minutes before the Garrett, and the way Bob's book is written it isn't clear whether the margin was 7, 17, or 27 minutes but whichever, the one "way out in front" was the Garrett on that occasion. When I am up and running, we will have to have a rematch and settle the matter!
