Day two update:
The car show was a success even though the weather was a bit cool in
the early morning. A wide range of models took to the field in a local
park. The BJ8's had the largest showing but there was a very nice mix
on hand. Even the Nash Healey folks showed up in force. A bar-b-que
followed at noon with a tasty assortment of protein. The tech session
at a local British Car repair and sales shop was well attended. It
provided another opportunity to see a mini Healey parade on the
highways and local streets of Eugene.
I know that some folks cringe at the idea of concours judging of our
little beasts but when you see the near perfect examples up close it
takes you back to to those visits to the Austin Healey dealers showroom
so many decades ago. Days of dreams that young boys and men had of
owning one. At least it was that way for me.
Tomorrow is a tech session, a rally and a tour plus more......
Aloha
Perry
