[Healeys] Rich Chryslers Passing

[Chris Dimmock]

Wow.
Thanks for sharing Larry.
One of my friends (in both the Sprite and Big Healey clubs) ....  (don't ask,
long silly story, Big Healey owners can join sprite clubs, sprite owners can't
join big Healey clubs - yeah... Where is the progression for future Big Healey
Owners.. ) ... Was an ex scale railroad guy. Built a number of "choo choos "
before shape, style and speed of DMH's creations won him.
One of the best garage machinists I've ever had the honour to call a mate.
Many of our Healey friends are/ were  Train guys. It's detail.
Chris.
