John Bowe Tests a Healey
Just a follow up on our June meeting when our speaker for the night
Phil Walker spilt the beans about a road test by John Bowe in my BN1
Healey. Well it happened on a sunny day last month when they took
the car for a run to Romsey via Wallan. I can report that we all had a
good day and the Healey performed well for John. Over lunch he
recounted stories of when he was a child in Tasmania and his father
and a friend raced a red BN1. He remembered as a small child
sleeping in the passengers foot well on the way home from a days
racing and how warm it was!
John made comment on how tractable the motor was and liked the feel
of the steering. THe Holiday at the Healey factory last year must have
had some benefit.
For those of you who would like to read and view more photos I am told
next month's UNIQUE CARS magazine will have a full article and
hopefully a plug for our Club.
May the HP be with you.
Mike Snelgrove.
Straight forward Male Logic this one:
A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6!"
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had eggs."
(Women most probably won't understand this, so ask a man to explain it to you)
