Nasty Boy First Start!

[HealeyRick]

After a long weekend thrash, I fired up the Nasty Boy for the first time today:

Glad it was this weekend.When I was in college a bunch of my friends used to drive to the tip of Cape Cod every Columbus Day weekend. Our convoy included an MGA, MGB, TR6, Porsche 914, Porsche 912 and my Fiat 124 Spider. Good memories!

Woohoo! That's a big step!

Incentive to push harder & longer :wink:

Hello Rick, fellow cape codder.
I use to live on West Yarmouth. Indeed, good times!
As we say in Massachusetts, that's a wicked nice cah.

Hi Rick,

Wow, a great step forward. Congratulations on your creativity, imagination, skill and stamina. The beauty of these cars is that you can never sit back and take them for granted (line my Acura). You have to drive them…and I mean drive them and there is always a mystery to solve and a solution to create.

Great job.

Hey Rick,
It sounds glorious ! Used to have a 289 HiPo 64 Falcon Sprint and sounded very much like your Nasty Boy. Nothing sounds like that small block Ford V-8, almost like the earlier 6 cylinder Healeys. Maybe that's one reason I love my BN6 so much, brings back my long ago youth !!!
Keep the news coming,
Mike
