[Healeys] Speaking of cable channels ...

[John Sims]

I almost did not watch them as the same series is on another channel but not
car related. Apparently they have split the series into two -- nonsense
items such as how ice cream, etc. is made and real items such as how various
marques are made.

On that same channel was a program called "How it is made"  Did coverage of
the Morgan's, Lamborgini (sp), and the new Jag F-Type.  Fascinating how
these care are hand built and the materials used---the glue and certain
types of rivets.  Jag has designed a special rivet that, once seated, is
flush with the skin.  The Jag actually has a muffler system that you can
tweek the sound to get the "growl" sound they want.

... just (half) caught a show on Velocity called 'Retro Car Kings,' mostly
about Japanese old car restorers.  No Healeys, but a Lagonda, an Amilcar (?)
and lots of 240Zs.  Suffice it to say originality is paramount, and the
craftsmanship is superb.

One great quote (translated), from a restorer attempting to start the old
Amilcar:  'You have to see what mood the car is in.'  I think we all can
relate.

Check it out if you get a chance.
