I recently got a link to a writer Lawrence G Green (born 1900 passed away 1972), book about old Cape Town. I downloaded several books of him from different places on the internet. ( One from a university in India). He started working in 1919 as a reporter at the Cape Argus and interviewed a lot of older people from the previous century that time and had access the the archives at the Cape Argus.
In one of the books, "i heard the old man say", he describes some of the first motoring episodes that I want to share here. As it is in pdf format, I could not copy and paste, so I took screenshots and hope it is readable.
