If you are not familiar with TD ralley, just drive the route. I am sure the route will take us through some very pretty areas. And who knows, we might even meet up with some of those "Oregon" people. Please let Carlos know if you are planning to go, even if you can not help him in the preparation. Keep em on the road.

BTDT. I can't speak to big Healey clutches, but my experience is bite the bullet and replace the whole clutch ... pressure plate AND through-out bearing. It is such a PITA, do not replace broken or worn out parts, replace the whole clutch with new parts. BTB, I replaced the Sprite engine block drain valve today, finally! Then I topped up the antifreeze, checked for leaks, bolted the exhaust and intake manifolds, heat shield and carbs back in place, topped up the carb dampening oil, master cylinder fluid and the tranny oil. With the ignition OFF, I cranked until the oil pressure gauge moved. Then pulled the choke, turned the ignition ON and a cranked a few revolutions and the Sprite fired right up. Yee-yah!! Good luck.

I have an original, unrestored BT7 that has never had any body work in the areas you mention. If you want to, you can come see it and take measurements. Buy only Kilmartin parts. British Car Specialists in Stockton, CA is a Kilmartin distributor. They will send a Kilmartin catalog if you call them at 209-948-8767. Some of the body parts Moss sells are Kilmartin, but others are not, and do not fit well. AH Spares sells good quality, but the air freight and customs charges can hurt. Also, I have a stripped chassis in a body shop in Port Orchard that is getting ready to have the body panels installed. This car is also very original and never hit. It was in dry storage since 1974. If you act quickly, you could go to the body shop and take all the measurements you need. Let me know your plans. I could meet you at the body shop.

Tomorrow is the last day to get the discount on the hotel room for the British Car Week Rally & Tour. I hope all of you last minute procrastinators out there let your fingers do the walking and pick up the phone. I did a lot of driving yesterday to scout the routes. Some of my first-choice roads aren't quite ready for us yet. But don't fret, I was able to find some great alternates. These are guaranteed to test your caster and camber settings and may have your passengers raise their arms over their heads like they do on a roller coaster. WEEEE!!! The other thing worth mentioning... if you haven't been in the gorge recently, you're in for a treat. The water falls on the Oregon side are spectacular right now with all the snow and rain run-off. Our drive on the way down on Saturday will be a good challenging gimmick rally. It will test your powers of perception and general knowledge of truly useless trivia. There's a nice little pub in town for dinner and drinks Saturday evening. The return trip on Sunday will be a nice leisurely tour of the gorge and Washington country side. There will be plenty of time to take in the small towns, antique shops or just the open roads at your own pace. For those of you who can't make the BCW Rally & Tour, join us Wednesday night at Round Table Pizza in Issaquah for dinner. Bring your Healey and meet the bunch for a slice of pie. Round Table is located at 730 NW Gilman Blvd in Issaquah. Come by around 7:00 and order your pizza. Who knows we might just end up with our own little Healey Car Show. Let me know if you have any questions on either activity.

The British Car Week Rally & Tour just around the corner. The event is set for Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1. Those of you who thought registering early and getting a discount on your room was just too "middle-class" - well have I got a deal for you. Your registration fee for joining the event will be waived. That right - it won't cost you a dime - not a penny. Hell I might just even throw in a free road side tech session to make it that much more of a unique experience. All you have to do is make your reservation at the Best Western, Columbia River Inn, Cascade Locks, Oregon and join us at the meeting point (*Starbucks across from South Center Mall*) or at the hotel. *The number is 800-595-7108*. Don't delay! Just imagine, you'll be able to tell everyone, even though you paid full price for your room - you didn't have to pay the registration fee. Now that's a bargain! If you haven't done so, drop me a note and let me know you're joining us. Cheers, Carlos Cruz PS: *For those of you who have already registered - don't worry there is no fee. Just don't tell the procrastinators.* From edmyed at harbornet.com Wed May 14 08:48:22 2008 From: edmyed at harbornet.com (Richard Bittmann) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 07:48:22 -0700 Subject: Vancouver ABFM Message-ID: <001a01c8b5d1$8efc7080$c537bf83@richard7je7n03> Hi Phil, Gretchen and I will be joining you at the "Brickyard" on Friday.

I received a call from George on Sunday. You know, George from back East. It's not like he calls a lot. In fact he only calls when he's stumped with the proper use of an English word like "recordification" - as in, "where can I find a recordification of Jay Leno's Garage". Anyway, we got to chit chat for a bit. He was waiting on Cheney to come back from another hunting trip. Man I'm glad I don't hunt. I told George about the British Car Week Rally & Tour and how we had a great group of Healeys and even a Spitfire lined up to hit the Gorge at the end of the month. George was wondering if we were wearing red coats and if he should have Connie raise one lantern or two - George and his goofy Texas humor. I told him how it would be great to have even more cars. Not missing a beat - he offered to help off set the cost of gas but cutting you all a check. He has to call it a stimulus check and said you can have it as long as you spend it to go on the British Car Rally & Tour. There's still plenty of time to sign up and there are still rooms available. The Rally will be a nice leisurely drive through the Washington countryside. There will be plenty of opportunities to take in the the quaint little towns with their shops and scenic overlooks. There will also be many opportunities to leave your better half on the side of the road. So come on out and join us - travel at your own pace. Please drop me a note if you have any questions. I will be at the Indy 500 next weekend so I might be slow to respond but I will get back to you at soon as I can.

If not, think about taking two batteries and replace them as necessary. You can charge them overnight with a 110 V charger at the hotel. As strange as it sounds, it works, because our healeys don't drain batteries as new cars do. Think about.

The Taysi's would like to do a short tour prior to the event. Haluk asks that anyone with a tour idea contact him at roadsters at taysi.net. Keep in mind that the day is to be more BBQ than tour. Haluk & Maggie want to get caught up with old friends and meet new ones! As the date draws near, I'll serve as coordinator on this end and handle logistics, communications and food.

Is there anyone out there interested in trading (full or partial) their BT7, BJ8 or other occasional 4-seater for a BN7 roadster? Similar condition / reliability expected - everything else is negotiable. Mine runs like a top, quick and very reliable and handles like a dream. You can turn the key and go anywhere in mine. It's hard to enjoy the Healey when my kids visit, hoping a back seat might help. Please contact me off list if you wist to explore this idea.

That's exactly what happened. John Snyder, a local club member, offered 3 generators and a great technician - Colin Anderson, Port Townsend, WA - We got there at 12 Noon and left at 12:45 with a "new generator". This list and the clubs are our lifelines. Thanks. After installing the "new" generator I went to the local (Tacoma, WA) experts - Eric at RE Auto Electric - who got the system set up spending 2 hours (because the cinch nut on the voltage adjustment srew on my new regulator was stripped. A dose of lock-tite red fixed this) without charge. - Now that's service. Tomorrow I'll deliver a bottle of Grey Goose vodka for happy hour.
