[Healeys] Goodbye

[Bob Spidell]

Jack, 

Very sorry to see you go. But, I wouldn't be surprised to see you come back to the 'Family' should things improve someday.

Dear friends, 
After close to ten years I regret having to advise you that I will no longer 
be participating in this forum. Even worse: I will not be a member of the 
Healey family any more - I just sold my BJ8 to a Swiss enthusiast which I 
happened to meet here in Holland. 

The reason for the sale is purely financial: For over three years now I have 
been trying to sell one of the two houses which I own, but the housing 
market in this country is nearly dead and I don't see any improvement in the 
near future. Two houses mean double charges and taxes and as I'm retired I'm 
depending on a State pension plus a private pension and that's unfortunately 
insufficient . 

I cannot say how much I've enjoyed the participation in this list. I not 
only had the pleasure of some visits from USA list members while visiting 
Europe, I also bought and sold various bits and pieces and even got some 
items free of charge. There is an great sense of friendship on this list. 

I also enjoyed an enormous amount of written help from a large number of 
listers during my 7 year BJ8 restoration and I would like to especially say 
'thank you' to Rich Chrysler and Steve Byers for their support and 
assistance. 

Mark Bradakis: thank you for keeping this fantastic list on the air. 

(The above does not mean I won't get my hands dirty any more: a friend of 
mine just bought a Volvo 1800E and I've promised him that I will look after 
the technical side of that animal.) 

Goodbye to you all, thank you and so long!
