Hi, Jim -
Well, I completely overlooked my BJ8's 40th birthday, also this month.  On
that day we did a 300 mile drive to visit my brother.  I'm sorry it didn't
occur to me then, or I would have treated TARHEELY to some extra-premium
petrol......

Happy Healeying!

Greetings all....

I thought I would drop a line as my BJ8 is now 40 .. built June 10-13 1966
.... and she likely looks better than new... although at present she is on
jack stands awaiting new wheels and tires (having sold my 72 spoke chrome
wheels to go back to 60 spoke painted) .... am also in the process of
changing
the rear pumpkin out as she seems to have chewed a bearing .. improper
pinion
adjustment I suspect .... oh well .. it is only a project and I have a spare
I
acquired to install my Lempert Gear Set .......   On another note my wife
has
decided that we should acquire a Jag Mk2 .. she likes the look ..... so ...
a
barn will be in the making to keep my Land Rover and one other vehicle out
of
the elements prior to searching for one ....  another adventure ......

On another note,,  I am planning to be at the Heroes of Speed Historic
Racing
event to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park Salt Lake City, Utah August
3-5 with my BJ8 .....  For those I had hope to meet in Nelson ..  I am on a
business trip in WA over that weekend and while I had hoped to drive up from
there I find the rental car company will not let me drive the car out of the
states ....

Cheers..
