[Healeys] Fw: John Twist and University Motors

[geatros]

Sorry to bring this up again ....... I don't know if  Mr. Richard Thrift's
email to me made on the list . But this is what he sent me regarding my
comment (" Maybe some Healey Shops should do the same")  I meant no harm with
it .....  Nice way to talk to a fellow Healey Lover on the List .  What a nice
guy.........

Cheers
Kenny Geatros

Hi Kenny
several of us have already thanked John Twist on this list, and cc'd him so
he'd know.  Thanks for, uh, chiming in?

I don't know, I can only guess what you are referring to in your last remark
("Maybe some Healey Shops should do the same").  You might be more specific
when you try to communicate.  I can only guess, based on recent blather on the
list, that you may be referring to Norman & BCS. Note I have never had any
interaction with Norman except via this list, & have not purchased anything
from BCS, other than their catalog (received just a few days ago  -and it is a
VERY useful catalog.  I do plan to buy his book.  ...someday)

If that's who you were referring to, your comment is uncalled for.  Norman's
extensive and helpful tech articles have been available free to anyone with a
subscription to Austin Healey Magazine.  Perhaps I am ignorant about your
contributions, but what have you done of equal value to the Brit car
community?

If you meant that remark to be about someone else, I am not sure I care to
know who.  There is an excellent shop near me, and I don't mind at all that
the proprietor spends his time actually working on cars (mine & others,
usually from local Brit clubs)  for pay instead of Emailing people he'll never
meet.

OK, let's return to the usual topics please

Richard
