[Healeys] 100 MPH Club

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

I really do not understand this discussion. Even living 1 mile from a German
Autobahn (Motorway) exit I never had any desire to go with one of my Healeys
to reach the 100 MPH. I can do it any day with my daily modern driver, but
even with that car I see no real reason to do it. I want to drive my Healeys
without taking any risk to blow the engine, which is bullet prove except when
going to these high revs.
Sorry, for me this discussion reminds me to my very early days in youth.

Having had a rear tire blowout in my BJ8 at about 65 mph, on a flat straight
4-lane there ain't no way I want to get close to 100 mph in that car.
I did do an indicated 95 mph in my '73 Midget, going downhill in Pennsylvania
once.  Actually, I believe I had it out of gear.
