[Healeys] Sad news - Rallyist Killed in Healey 100

Thu Oct 6 13:32:36 MDT 2022

Yes, please forward my comment to his family.
This person hasn´t recognizsed his limits and was a danger for other people 
on the road, drivers, bikers and cyclists, and even pedestrians, which are 
on our rural roads as well and also want to live and be not hurt by such a 
person.
Sorry, no mercy at all from my side.

Well, THAT was harsh.  You might want to forward that to his family just so 
they know how you feel about him.  When exactly is it you think  we should 
all stop driving?  Is it 75?  80?  I'm 71, I just want to get your advice 
on what age I'm endangering other people.

That was easily the most insensitive posting I have ever seen on this list.

  To be honest, I have no respect for such a person, or better 82 years old
  fart who brought others in danger with his driving. Thankfully no other
  person was invoved and injured.

  Its very common all over in central Europe to have these ditches, trees
  or even walls along country roads. That is how we love it.

  For big money you can book in to take part in one of these leasure
  raĺlys, where you get all accomodation organised, only you have to come
  from a to b along. these rallys are mainly booked from those mainly
  elderly people who do not know what to do otherwise with their money,
  even they are completely overextended by driving an old classic car.

  One should be wise enough to give up driving, when you are no more
  capable to drive.

  I am only sorry about the wrecked Austin-Healey.

  Michael--

  Most of them weren't "open" ditches--they were filled with rocks.  

  I fondly recall the time we missed a left-hander, went off the road,
  somehow hurtled OVER the ditch and landed in a tree in a fellow's front
  yard.  As I remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared
  the branches out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took
  off without much conversation.

  Best--Michael Oritt

  Just like Newfoundland which for me was a major factor in giving up on
  the Targa there.

  I saw this yesterday. Very sad on so many levels. I was wondering if this
  is the drive a number of the Southern California Healey Association
