My Kind of Gal!

[HealeyRick]

50s and 60s actress Janet Lake, who actually drove a Healey in a few amateur races.

Yeah, but where's she going, clutch in, hand going for the e-brake, and the bonnet open?

Here's my favorite Healey gal. Taken in '58 at walterboro, SC. She's 81 now and anxious for me to finish the restoration so she can take the car she learned to drive in for a spin.

Barry,

Is the car you're restoring now the same car as your Dad raced and Mom learned to drive in?

 

[Barryp]

Rick,

Yeah it is, Dad bought it new in spring of 58, built in March according to the Heritage cert. Here's one more of my favorite "Healey Gal" pics.

That's really cool, especially where you have so many pictures to keep the memories alive. Hope your Mom enjoys her drive.

Rick & Barry-

Thanks for posting the photos!!

Modern equivalents...

Not likely that I have any pictures of Sue "working" on the car, but a friend of mine has a picture of his wife working under his M Coupe (or her Z3). If I can find where he posted it, I'll add it later.

Sure it wasn't an E30?

That car needs to be jacked up a little more. :lol:

That's not her :wink:

His wife, while still attractive, is an OB-GYN doctor in her first (?) year of residency__I'm still trying to figure out HOW he got her to work under the car.

ONCE, and once only, did my wife help me wash one (1) of our cars; it was brand new and all she was doing was rinsing where I had washed (same car shown above).

Count your blessings. I've heard of helpers using Scotchbrite pads to get that stubborn dirt off a car's finish.

My wife is really great. She goes with me to my races and keeps me on schedule. She checks my tire pressures, makes sure I have enough fuel and keeps me cool on those hot days with chilled gel packs in my driver's suit, an umbrella on the pre-grid and and cold packs on my neck. However, she once used WD 40 to clean my windshield. She was so proud of herself until later when I asked her "what the **** did you put on my windshield?"
