property near Elko...

John the side walls on the M/T's is very short... which make them
exceptionally stable tires... they are the real deal with a 9" wide
contact
patch and approximately 10" wide. ( they price of these things isn't
for
the faint of heart )
Funny you should mention the Healey because that's how I got here as
well...
I've owned an Austin Healey 100 since 1980... and it was in Donald
Healey's
book that I became fasinated with Bonneville and his efforts there in
the
mid 50's....( 203mph in 56 with a 6 cylinder )
I'm also a California transplant... guess those of us with any brains
didn't
stick around to watch the big one.... ya know where the fault unlatches
California and drops everything east of the fault off into the
Atlantic....( it's a theory... maybe not a good one but mine all the
same )
Your in good hands with the folks here.... we've got enormous amounts of
talant on the list... you will enjoy it and find it a great source of
information and help.
Keith
