Gary, I watched the show on this event on the speed channel and was wondering
how a TR6 got in the event. I thought the cars were 1927 to 1957. Any idea how
this occurred? Jim

I had the opportunity to be part of the tech inspection crew prior to the
running of this event. During tech, I met John and spent about 20 minutes
talking with him about his motivation and cross-country journey. A very
touching
story which has inspired thousands of people, including the approximately 3,000
that signed the Austin Healey body during his trip. Once the Healey is
rebodied,
the original, signed body will be put on display at the Peterson Museum in Los
Angeles. John plans a second cross country journey in the Healey beginning next
month and assuming he'll gather more signatures, the second Healey body will be
displayed at the Blackhawk Museum in Northern California. See John's website
for
more info at www.driveawaycancernow.org.

Amici,
Last month, someone mentioned John Nikas having driven a Healey
in
the Mille Miglia Tribute. I happened to see the show listed on
Velocity last
weekend. It is being repeated tomorrow at 1 pm EST,
as well as 12-16 @ 8 pm
EST and again at 1 pm EST on 12/18.
John is interviewed at about 47 minutes
into the show. There is
also a couple of TRs, a TR6 (French Blue) and a sliver
TR3A
with a polished partial tonneau.
Doug
