Ken,
I've gone into hibernation until spring. No heat in my garage. You didn't last long before you cracked and went for the V8! |

Re: One Nice Nasty Boy!
If you look up "Ultimate British Sports Car" in the dictionary, you should see a picture of this car!
Outstanding. |

Nice car, but I have to say,"What a waste of a great set of heads with that carb on them!" Those heads just rip when set up with a quad Weber kit, or a Hillborne injection!

Dan,
You're right. I looked up "ultimate British sportscar" in the dictionary and found a picture of the Healey ... right next to your MG! |

Re: One Nice Nasty Boy!
Rick,
I'll have to agree, my car is pretty nice, but nothing says British Sports Car quite like an Austin Healey, not a Jaguar, a Triumph, or even an Aston Martin - nothing! |
