I too find it UTTERLY ludicrous that "folks" that want to be able to:
a] depend on their cars;
b] be able to drive anywhere, anytime;
c] seek "friends" and/or "compadres";
&
d] seek help and/or advice;
Do not belong to BOTH National Clubs.
As my heart and soul is in Healeys, one of the VERY first things I tell ANY
new owner or prospective new owner is to join BOTH National Healey Clubs.
The have about the same "differences" and "politics" as the MGB/Midget world
does.
In either case (Healey/MG), doesn't make a twit!! BOTH offer different
points of view. Different "services". Different "mags" (BOTH are excellent
in their own right).
etc., etc., etc..
I have been "country wide" in Hortense and have YET to not meet a Member of
one Club or the other who has not been absolutly "a new great friend".
Second best money spent has been my memberships!! PERIOD.
First?? Hortense THE Healey.
Third?? Bentley AND Haynes Shop Manuals.
Fourth?? Dan Master's new Electric T/S Manual (more to come).
Cheers.............
