And, even though I bought a copy autographed by Roger and Gary, my kids gave
me a copy for my birthday. They obviously never go into my office and see
the Healey "stuff" I have laying around. I do not have the heart to sell
the extra non-autographed copy on eBay so, understanding this, I wonder how
many others have multiple copies. I'm not simple minded (but older) do not
sniff lacquer thinner, etc. but I certainly do wonder about the younger
generation. (As, Isuppose,my parents worried about mine)

I can offer the following:
> There are some simple minded (read older mechanics that have been
breathing lacquer thinner and brake cleaner for too many years), forgetful
(read guys that have been trained unintentionally or intentionally by their
wives in the art of not only selective hearing but selective memory recall),
messy, disorganized, (these are character flaws that developed the first day
of Kindergarten), good hearted folks that have copies of the wonderful
Austin-Healey Restoration Guide stuck away in every room in the house,
including one on the top of the tank in each john, two somewhere in the
garage, three in the files so we won't lose it and probably a half dozen on
the way via priority mail from nice eBay sellers around the world.
