Ross,
Great to hear you made it home safe and sound. It was great to meet
you in person and though you may not remember my face, I loved your story and
your dedication of making this journey. I love to hear and see folks like
you, folks who drive these cars to their limits and then some.
Happy trails for the future and here's to you and your BN6!

Hi all,
Just back from the round trip to Monterey for the International Healey
Week.
Many thanks to the Golden Gate Austin Healey Club who hosted a great
event. It was well worth the drive.
Many highlights of the event included meeting many of the people on this
list, the Rally out to Big Sur, the car show in Pacific Grove and the laps
of Laguna Seca.
The 1958 Pacific Green BN6 performed well and didn?t let me down.
The only casualties were the tach cable which broke two days into the trip
and not replaced until two days left, the rear exhaust pipe bracket
vibrated itself apart, (bailing wire fix and it was already near failure and I
forgot that last minute repair), the driver side wiper arm jumped ship in a
torrential downpour at dusk, and a pressure wave from a semi truck blew out
the cheap aftermarket plexi glass from the passenger side screen during
yesterday?s snowstorm.
Here are the stats from the Garmin GPS,
Metric Version

Garmin Top Speed = 151 km/hr
