Al,

My bro, Gasman, is out of town with his family on vacation. Send him an e-mail if you're interested in the Healy specs. I know he has 2 tons of money in it.

Hey Al,

Greetings from Disney World. My Healey is a 62 MKII, which for those that don't know Healey's is a tri-carb, center shift four seater, one of 1,500. It is Red with red leather, black piping and red carpet. I have the British Heritage certificate showing it left the factory this way and was shipped to Fort Worth TX. From there a Sergeant drove it to Fort Gordan and sold it before he left for Vietnam. I'm ashamed to admit that I have over 60K in this car, it isn't worth anywhere close to what I have invested. I would sell this car for 32K. I'll be happy to email photos to any interested party, it wouldn't be appropriate to post Healey pics on a Unique web site. This car desperatly needs something similar to the English climate. The Southeast, (especially Augusta, GA) is just too hot for this car.

OK time to make a rule.

No posting of what we have invested in our cars on the website. If my wife ever sees this I will be buying drapes and plants by the truckload [xx(]

"In your case"

What is that supposed to mean??

Brent

[clayfoushee]

Brent,

It was entirely a compliment. I am in awe of what you have done with your car, and if your time were factored in, the price of that car would clearly be astronomical!

I hope I get to see it some day soon.

I'll tell you what it means, Webber Set-up, Intake, Carbs, ect. = More than Drapes, and Flowers. Hope you did good on Valentines Day, More than a Card[:X][:X]!

[:O] Now I understand.

I have had so much fun on this car the time just kind of melts away. It has taken almost two years but it feels like 6 months. I will have the digital camera with me in Gadsden looking to steal some good ideas and I will probably come home and change some things.


Brent

[clayfoushee]

See you there.....but I have a better idea. Since, you've just about done everything that is possible to do on a Unique, why don't we trade cars, and then you'll have something else fun to do for the next 2 years!

Deal?

My wife and kids have been pushing for a dog for several months and the Valentine fairy bought them one.

Very happy with me. (at least for a couple of days)

Brent, Yes I agree this is a good rule, forgive me I don't know what I was thinking. The reason I have to sell the Healey is my wife knows what is invested and will not let me have more than one toy to play with at a time. Like I said, the toy box is FULL. Hope I didn't cause a problem at home. Congrats on the new dog. A word to the wise...if you haven't already done so, buy plenty of chew toys, if you don't you'll be buying new everything in your house.
