[Healeys] FREE HEALEY....looking to the future

[PG]

The Key is for his friends and peers to "admire" the car.......teenagers all
have a bad case of "group think".  Unless their friends think it's cool they
don't.

I offered my son my TR250 and he said he'd rather have a mazda.........this
all changed when his friends said that the old cars (TR250 and BJ8) were
cool.

Kieth -

I think if he saw a restored Healey go past him on the road, his
reaction would be much different.  The key is for him to see a nice
one in action.
