Just acquired a 1967 BJ8 and already have met several of the North Texas Austin Healey group...They're Great!

I have loved the Healey since I first rode/drove one back in 1963. This just about fills my "bucket list" however there are a few more items and experiences still remaining.

In my photos, there is also a pic of my replica Daytona Coupe.

As they say in another car group I belong to, "it's not about the cars...it's about the people!"

Hey Larry from New Market Md.

How are your doing? My Healey is still in the "Wonder Bread" years of its life...still in the development stage.

I can see in the future a new front suspension and a referbished rear supension, refreshed braking system, and a super-charger to boost performance.

I love the vintage performance as it stands now, however a little more "pop" off the line and some additional torque at speed would be well acceped.

Thank you all for your well wishes and comments.

Cheers...
