To reduce vehicular weight, they limited their cargo to the bare essentials such as gin, tea-making equipment, tweed three-piece suits, cravats, suitable headwear for various terrains, a gramophone player and a supply of evening wear in case they were invited to any formal balls.
Saw this in an article on "The Chap" and got a good chuckle. Then I thought that perhaps Panache was moonlighting as a writer for The Chap, so long as you picture a tweed kilt suit of course!
