Steve,

Seems like the autopsy rules out a stroke which her daughter said the family
suspected since she had had one a few weeks earlier.

Brings to mind the need to be safe in preparing our cars.  Not that anyone
or the car being at fault, I am just saying that no matter what turn's out
to be the cause of this let's make this a reminder for safety of ourselves
and others that share the road.

- throttle return springs
- brakes
- tires
- suspension
- steering
- seat belts
- lights , brakes, blinkers
- adjust driving style.

I have seen a lot of close calls on cars being borderline or outright
unsafe.  We need to be extra careful and allow for the lack of safety
features in Healeys.

It was the safety and smog rules that ended the Healeys imports to the US.
Uuuuuuhhh  clue.

Since many of us do our own work we could heed this very very unfortunate
event as a WARNING.

I sometimes need an attitude adjustment when I switch from 2011 disk brakes
with ABS and airbags to my Healey with drum brakes and a 6 foot spear
pointing at my chest instead of an airbag.

With respect and sadness................ RIP

Warm Regards,
 
Tracy Drummond
