A motorist who knows much of early motoring in Nelson and the surrounding districts is Mr A. Guy, now of Bunnythorpe, Manawatu. Mr Guy was brought up a Nelsonian and lived as a boy at Brookside, in the city. On a recent visit Mr Guy was interested to seek out his old home, through which he was taken by the present occupier.

Mr Guy called on the Automobile Association and a pleasant half hour was spent in recalling early motoring days. Photographs on the walls of the members' room brought back many experiences.

Mr Guy was employed as a chauffeur to Mr Jenny, better known possibly as Count Jenny. Mr Jenny was one of the first motorists in the district and lived for some time in Cambria street, close to the residence of the late Mr G.M. Rout.
