Saturday 18th September 1937

A little extra to pay on the car - £2-8-9 additional insurance premium because I’m a salesman. Annoying, but I was determined to have the car, so agreed to give a cheque for the amount. Drove her away and out to Creeksea, getting accustomed to the drive.
Noticed the speedometer does not work correctly. Otherwise, the car seems to rattle along alright. Found a decent garage (St. Christopher’s) on the arterial road. Five minutes across the fields from Roedean.
