That's right Irv. In fact he had a major shunt with a train in a Triumph
Dolomite during the 1935 Monte Carlo rally. To add insult to injury,
Donald and co-driver Lewis Pearce were hauled off to the local jail until
guarantees arrived to pay for damage TO THE TRAIN!
To see pictures of the car, one would never believe anyone could walk away
from the accident.
