[Healeys] My First Drive

[Eoin Galvin]

Hello All,

I have been a lurker on this list for approximately five years. I must admit I do enjoy reading all the questions and various
answers that you guys give. I guess the hardest ones to read were the ones when people got their cars on the road for their first
drive. Well this Saturday it was my turn. I collected my car from Rich Chrysler at 10:30. When I drove into his driveway and saw my
car sitting there waiting for me I felt like a child on Christmas morning. Rich brought me out in the car and showed me how it could
be driven. He then pulled over and it was my turn. I have to say it was very comforting to drive the car for the first time with
Rich by my side. After a while spent with Rich giving me a low down on the car it was time to take her home. Well, what a ride I
don't think I will ever forget it. She drove beautifully and other drivers noticed her too (lots of honks, waves and
smiles).Needless to say I have spent the weekend driving and getting to know the car. Too be honest I think I have been running on
adrenalin since Saturday and I'm finally starting to crash!! 

 

The car is the BN1 that Rich posted pictures of on John Sims web site a couple of weeks back.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rich and his team for restoring a beautiful car for me.
