I enjoy perfectly original cars that have been well cared for. I enjoy 
radically modified Healeys, and I enjoy slightly personalized Healeys. I like 
Healey Blue, BRG, OEW, Florida Green, Spruce Green and Pacific Green. I like a 
really good black one too, but mine are both RED! My wife really likes those 
modern roll-up windows and the pull-up convertible top, but mine are roadsters 
with side curtains!

Finally, I really like Healey people who love originality. They are dedicated 
to the hobby (or profession), and typically they can be really, really helpful. 
I called on one of my very favorites, Rich Chrysler, with a question just today 
and he had an answer for me in minutes. You know what, he didn't ask me if I 
was working on "an as original car" or not? I once prepared an article on the 
rebuild of the control head (trafficator) and Roger Moment was the go to guy, 
ready to lend a helpful assist. 

Then again, I love Healey people who modify their cars to suit THEIR tastes 
while remaining true to what I will call a "Healey Spirit." Steve Thomton, Mick 
Nordquist, Rick Neville, Steve Gerow, Randy Forbes, Rich Grauman, Tim Moran, 
Udo Putzke and Mike Oritt come to mind.

I could have named many other people in both of these categories (and 
sub-categories). Heaven only knows how much I have benefitted from all of these 
people. I am thankful to you all. I even try to share what I have learned from 
time to time to keep this automotive interest going.

So....

Cheers and thanks.
