Two incidents in San Francisco. I wanted to get a picture of my Healey
with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Stopped at the view area at
the south end of the bridge where they have a cut-away section of the main
cable. Before I could get my camera out and focused, Japanese tourists had
surrounded the car and were taking their own pictures.
The other time, I needed to make a phone call so stopped by a public phone
booth in Golden Gate Park near the DeYoung Museum. Again, while making the
call, people were standing around the car taking pictures.
The one that gets me is driving on the Interstate. A car passes you. All
of a sudden, he slows down and falls behind. Then he passes again and the
passenger has a camera and is taking pictures. Love it.
It is always a warm fuzzy feeling to get a thumbs-up from someone in a
classic of another marque.
I can only recall one negative comment and that happened years ago while
driving across the Salt Lake Desert towing my half-Healey trailer. The
driver of an 18-wheeler came on the CB and said, "That looks like s**t". I
couldn't resist replying to him, "Can't be. S**t don't roll".
