[Healeys] My BN2 has finally arrived!...

Ah! this brings back memories.
As a Canadian transplant from Barrie, Ont. to San
Jose, California, I don't get to cruise in the snow
much anymore.
I was on a business trip in Kista, Sweden some years
ago when a very kind local Healey Club member
by the name of Magnus Melin came over in his Healey
an picked me up at my hotel.  He'd brought a big
bomber jacket and a leather cap and goggles.  It was
winter.  We looked like a bunch of WWII kite flyers
cruising
with the top down in the snow.  At one point he even
jumped out at a light to put some wood baffles in front
of the radiator to help keep the engine temp up. 
That's cold!  I got a tour of his shop, and a great
home cooked
meal.  I'd just come of from Italy, so I brought a
nice Grappa!  You can find great Healey friends all
over the
world.  I've come to realize, I've become a big woose
in California! :-)

Thanks for the memories,

Derek
Los Gatos, CA
