of an Era <br>Fewer members turn up for meetings and even fewer drive their=
 cars to events or tours. It seems that more Healeys are now listed for =
sale. Prices also seem to be falling a bit. I&rsquo;m sure there eventually=
 be an up-side. As the cars become more affordable a whole new generation =
of owners will emerge. Of course they will know nothing about how to =
maintain these cars but that&rsquo;s another issue.<br>As we current owners=
 age out, I am determined to enjoy my Healey for as long as possible. I =
will be 80 in a few moths. To that end, I am driving my 1960 BT7 from =
Portland, Oregon, to Wisconsin in September to the races at Road America =
and Conclave in Sheboygan. Following that I plan to find the beginning of =
Route 66 in Chicago and drive to Santa Monica, California. Then back home =
to Portland. My plan is to spent at least two weeks finding my way West =
along the &ldquo;Mother Road&rdquo;, driving leisurely and "smelling the =
coffee&rdquo; as they say. Hopefully, even meeting some Healey people along=
 the way. I have plan to use a satellite GPS tracker and that can be =
accessed by anyone to see where I am in real time if they want to join me =
for a few miles of driving or meet for a cup of coffee along the way. =
Here&rsquo;s photo of my ride. It&rsquo;s a BT7 that I converted to a 2 =
seater. I use linseed oil to keep it from rusting. Richard Mayor =
