Lou,
Happy to see you made it home OK. The run was a good one. Looking at
the weather it seems we had cold air on the coast while everywhere
inland was 100 degrees.
As all that 90-100 degree heat rose inland it was being replaced by cold
ocean air hence the fog and cold breeze all the way.
After we parted ways I needed to stop and pick up my monthly member wine
subscription at Solis where I am a member. Turns out they were having a
barrel tasting event.
What a great way to wrap up 800 miles of some of the greatest Healey
roads ever!!
I am definatly sold on cold sea level air for long Healey drives. Now I
can begin planning next year's three day run up the coast (both ways
this time) for 2006 Rendevous in Canada.
I would rather drive 800 miles in cool confort, than 450 in blistering heat.
Here is a link to a few pics.
