[Healeys] Driving in Winter

[gary brierton]

Back when I could tolerate the cold, BJ8 #1 was my daily driver throughout
Illinois and Utah in the early '60's.  I remember getting stopped by
waist-deep snow on my way down some country roads to my brother's house one
Christmas.  My mother (in her 50's) and I walked the last mile or so carrying
Christmas presents.  Brother pulled me free with a tractor, chain around the
front frame cross member! Many other trips in snow/ice were made without
incident.  I stayed away from salted roads, which one could do back then by
using country blacktops.  Let the first one go (foolishly) in Utah in '67;
later replaced it with another  new BJ8 in late '67.  It "disappeared" when my
first child appeared.
