First motor cars ever to ride there. PPA. Popski with a hook for a hand by then. The only previous wheeled vehicles at all were reportedly Roman chariots during the days of the Caesers.

LOL, chariots to PPA. You gotta love the man’s spirit. I’ll buy a round for PPA in Valhalla any day.

Popski in 1945. Thank Odin he wrote his book before he died of brain cancer in 1950. He was 40# overweight in Egypt when he decided he had to join the British Army, and invent a new kind of warfare by hook or by crook. (He got the hook in Italy.) There was nobody like him, they broke the mold. Spoke 8 languages, etc.
