[Healeys] Updated web site

G'day Tracy

The Viet Cong used a very effective Cal-Trap type device in Vietnam War that
was set just under leaves or the ground and then the unaware soldier would
step on it with the spikes going through the shoe into the foot.

That's why a steel plate was eventually built into the sole and heel of each
boot.

Sarah,

Ah yes!  It had two meanings really.  Go carefully (the way I use it) I have
the crest with motto on my Healey badge bar.  It also means gang up against
the Drummond's with caution, likely a warning to other clans to expect
retaliation if they gang up against the Drummonds.  The Drummond clan is
also the inventors of a device called a Cal-Trap (Calvary trap) a steel
spiked device tossed in the path of on coming horseman.  Perhaps I should
modify the Healey with a James Bond DB4 type device that dumps giant tacks
and nails behind the car while being chased.  I always wanted some machine
guns like 007 had to take out cars ahead.  That probably would be frowned
upon by track stewards and tour organizers though.

Tracy --

Ever since I joined this list, I assumed that your closing "Gang Warily!"
was merely prudent advice (in proper Scots phrasing) to any vintage British
car owner.

While browsing through a book on Scottish heraldry the other day, I
discovered that "Gang Warily!" is, in fact, the motto of the Drummond clan.

How amazing that it should still be so appropriate after all these years!


Happy Healeying--
