Me & Sprite at the Milford Cruise In [I drove it!]

[H82WRK]

Thought that you guys and gals would enjoy this picture of me and my now driving Sprite. I know that everyone was so helpful and encouraging and that helped me get it on the road. Showed up late at the cruise so we had to park a little far out but got lots of compliments and stares and I was the only Healey there!

Looking good, Rachael. That's a clean little beastie. And a "real" Weber, too! Not one of those Pinto posers.
Keep up the good work.

Very nice, Rachel, very nice. Good to see you getting out and driving it after all the "fun" you've had getting it ready.

Congratulations!

Looks like your work is starting to reward you.

Looks great. I just love the look of the early sprite dash. Another one on the road!

Great Rachael! Looking good in the pictures, and now we know that the mechanicals are working well enough. You did good, and the car's sharp, something to be proud of.

Very nice looking car. Great job!

Cool Stripe. I think I may have seen you and your husband at the Carrolton car show ... or maybe it was the Louisville Car show. Anyway, I'm planning on making the Cincy show. Are you going to be there?

Looks excellent! Feels good to be finally behind the wheel, huh? When I first got my B done, I loved to show it off at local cruise ins, and my boys loved going for ice cream!

Is that a Triumph Stag you parked next too?

Congrats Rachael,
I know you've worked really hard on that beastie, and there's the reward, excellent job.

Re: Me & Sprite at the Milford Cruise In [I drove

Yep that is a Triumph, there were a few there at the cruise in. Thanks so much for the compliments. It is so much fun to drive and I feel good for seeing it through. I am of course no where near the end of this project but now I am able to enjoy the best part which is drving!

As frustrating as it was the pull the engine out three times I think that I learned quite a bit from it as well. My next project is going to be a suspension rebuild. The little car desparately needs it, feels like Town Car on the turns, not a sporty Sprite.

I would love to go to the car show is this the one on the 15th? I would like to get more details if you don't mind.
