[Healeys] Erika the Red on HD Theater

[John Soderling]

Last night I tuned in to Wayne Carini's "Chasing Classic Cars" show on HD
Theater.  The program was titled "Monterey Week" and feature Wayne shipping
his 1934 Bentley out to the Monterey peninsula to attend all the Pebble Beach
area car show, auctions and the Monterey Historics auto races.

Anyway, about five minutes into the show they had him driving his Bentley down
17-Mile-Drive with a string of classic cars passing in the other direction.
Low and behold I saw me in my red 100-six, Erika the Red, approaching with my
friends, blue over white 100-Six, two cars behind!!!  Here is how we got in
this HD Theater show.

In August 2006 we entered our Austin Healeys in the Pacific Grove Classic Car
Concours & Rally which is held each year during the big Monterey Week/Pebble
Beach shindig.  After the car show in Pacific Grove all participants then get
to
drive their cars in a rally along the famed 17-mile Drive ending in downtown
Carmel.  Apparently HD Theater was filming Wayne in his Bentley driving on
17-Mile Drive in the opposite direction and ended up using this clip of my car
in the "Monterey Week" show.  I guess Healeys make good TV footage!

Vrooom vrooom,
John
