[Healeys] Fw: So CA Fires & AH Club

[Healey Bruce]

I'll share this with the list in case somebody thinks it might benefit their 
situation. I created an Emergency Healey Starting Procedure that I hang over 
the trafficator while parked in the garage, with step-by-step instructions 
and photos for my wife, son or emergency personnel who may need to move the 
car.
