[Healeys] 100 MPH Club

[Simon Lachlan]

I seem to recall comparing GPS speed to rpm to speed shown on my, somewhat
useless, speedo. We did over a 100. Going up in units of 5mph on the GPS so
let's say 105. Car felt fine; has a 3:54 diff & a 28%OD plus bigger
carbs/big exhaust, better cam etc. Haven't got chart to hand. Didn't do it
for any longer than it took to enter the figures. Police hate 100+ here. Not
sure I blame them.

We all know that Donald Healey was a member of the 200 MPH club.

I am wondering how many people have exceeded 100 MPH while driving an
Austin-Healey.

Many years ago, while a junior or senior in high school, me and two of my
friends hit 110 MPH on a deserted stretch of freeway. It took a while to get
up to that speed and we were going up a slight incline. 
The front end felt like it was riding on a marshmellow.

Anyone have a story they are willing to share?
