[Healeys] Plowing Through

[john spaur]

In the 70's I lived at Lake Tahoe in the winter and rarely used 
chains. I powered the Healey through all kinds of snow conditions; no 
salt was used on the roads. I did have an issue with ice once 
traveling down Kingsbury grade. Because of the cold, the car would 
not start in the mornings and I had to coast downhill until I could 
pop the clutch in gear and start the engine. Once I did two very slow 
360's while a pickup truck was coming uphill. Car straightened out, 
started, and no accident!

However, you could always remove the grill and shape a sheet metal 
scope to funnel the snow through the radiator. It should solve the 
overheating problem too!
