[Shotimes] Another SHO transplant

[Donald Mallinson]

I really wanted that car, and the guy offered it to me at a 
decent price.  I was going to look at it at the convention 
and maybe drive it home.

But someone else offered him something like FOUR times the 
money!  and I could not in good conscience pay that much or 
try to hold the guy to our deal.  I was happy that he got 
something for all his hard work.  Just wish I had a chance 
to see it in person.

I talked to the new owner and he is a nice guy.  I tried to 
get him to the convention with the car, but he didn't want 
to make the trip to SF (he lives in the LA area).

The car with the SHO engine is SO much cooler than if it had 
  a run of the mill V8, and the higher reving SHO V6 fits 
the personality of the Healey much better.
