In the "readable" model the engine for the first time is behind and below the pilot. This gives him perfect vision on the highway, better balance...
Last week this incomparable domestic was made the central figure of the most recent novel by Lloyd Cassel Douglas, whose inspirational works of fiction have made him one of the best-selling novelists in the past six years.
