If you've been paying close attention to Forum announcements, you know that this week, May 25 to June 2, is British Car Week. In an effort to support the cause, I took my Healey on a 3-hour drive today around the Los Angeles/Orange County area of Southern California. I went thru the communities of Torrance, Palos Verdes (a beautiful coastline drive with million dollar homes and views to Catalina island), San Pedro/Los Angeles Harbor, Long Beach/Queen Mary and surf city, Huntington Beach. During my journey, I only saw two other British cars - a square body Sprite in San Pedro, and a TR3 on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. To top it off, two of the British cars (mine and the Sprite) were driven by women, plus a Healey I saw on Friday was driven by a gal, so come on guys, get those little British cars out there on the road this week!
An Interesting Sight: While driving by the San Pedro/L.A. Harbor area I saw what must have been a thousand new cars waiting to be transported to dealerships throughout the area. The predominant colors were silver, black, white and metallic beige, with an occasional red. Lately, while stopped in traffic when the light is red, I've been noticing all the new cars are really bland colors. I guess it's the trend - bland colors and boring, all-the-same body styles! Thank heaven for little British cars!!
