jmc948 Freshman Member Registered: 10/11/09 Posts: 12 Loc: Michigan	Hi People, Just registered and will probably lurk for a while; I don't have a Healey yet, but am currently eyeing one lustfully and for sure will ask for advice here if matters work out. I have two Bugeye Sprites awaiting reconditioning/restoration. You'd think I'd learn . . . Jim _________________________ Those who hear not the music Think the dancers mad

One in Taos next year, try to make it down. Welcome aboard _________________________ Jolly - 1958 BN6 1972 BMW 3.0CS 1947 Willy's CJ2A - sleeping 1967 Mustang Coupe - under construction

jmc948 Freshman Member Registered: 10/11/09 Posts: 12 Loc: Michigan	Thanks for the welcome everyone . . . Nial: Retirement is indeed sweet - everyday is Saturday! BabaKahawa: Colorado has some nice roads for sure. My wife and I just returned from a visit to a couple of British car obsessives living in the SW corner of the state, and the scenery on the drive home was magnificent. And Taos isn't exactly shabby either; we were there last year for a 3-day motorcycle gathering and found some great roads.
