[Healeys] Shimmy.

[tomfelts at windstream.net]

I came across the Pa TWP late at night a few months ago in absolute POURING rain driving 60 - 70 MPH (had to to keep from getting run over).  There are some pretty good long turns there.  I had ZERO problems with slipping or rear breaking away.  And this was driving pretty soon after it started to rain so if there were any oil slicks they would also have had an impact.

I am also prone to drive in the mountains of western Pa in the rain and don't mind doing it.  Never a problem.

Woon't argue with your experience, just wanted to state my experience. 


Cheers
tom
