First ride in 28 years

[hottvr]

Drove the 67 Healey today for the first time in 28 years. Had to break the clutch free, but after that ran like a champ. Kinda funny driving the thing around with the tunnel cover off. Still have a couple of bugs to work out but almost time for cosmetics. Happily, every light and gauge works. Rick

Watch that spinning driveshaft! We've all probably done it at one time or another, but putting a hand or a piece of clothing in the wrong place could be pretty awful.

Glad the car's running well, must have been a cool feeling after 28 yrs.

Ah yes, the famous Isadora Duncan death in Bugatti (sic) when her scarf wrapped around a rear wheel. It was actually in an Amilcar but no one knows what an Amicar is so it's a Bugatti!

Oh no, after all these years of believing and telling the story. Please Bill even if you know its true please do not tell us that Tazio Nuvolari did not sell his soul to the devil in exchange for the greatest ever. Oh well there still is Mickey Mantle.
