When I purchased my healey 100 some years ago many people told me
that I had purchased the car as a chick magnet. I have heard it
called a crumpet catcher many times on this list. But I am here to
tell you that
in my experience the Austin Healey is a dude magnet. Attention from
women is rare but attention from men is almost universal. One of the
reasons that the Austin Healey is one of the great sports cars of all
time is that one does not feel that one needs a woman beside him when
he drives it, with the possible exception of cold days when one
wishes to keep one's shifting hand warm.
