FOT:
I had the opportunity to be part of the tech inspection crew prior to the
running of this event. During tech, I met John and spent about 20 minutes
talking with him about his motivation and cross-country journey. A very
touching story which has inspired thousands of people, including the
approximately 3,000 that signed the Austin Healey body during his trip. Once
the Healey is rebodied, the original, signed body will be put on display at the
Peterson Museum in Los Angeles. John plans a second cross country journey in
the Healey beginning next month and assuming he'll gather more signatures, the
second Healey body will be displayed at the Blackhawk Museum in Northern
California. See John's website for more info at www.driveawaycancernow.org.

Amici,
Last month, someone mentioned John Nikas having driven a Healey
in
the Mille Miglia Tribute. I happened to see the show listed on
Velocity last
weekend. It is being repeated tomorrow at 1 pm EST,
as well as 12-16 @ 8 pm
EST and again at 1 pm EST on 12/18.
John is interviewed at about 47 minutes
into the show. There is
also a couple of TRs, a TR6 (French Blue) and a sliver
TR3A
with a polished partial tonneau.
Doug
