[Healeys] Bleeding brakes

[Oudesluys]

Hi Larry,

No offence taken at all. Did not even think of that. Donot worry, I 
cannot easily be offended anyway and I am always surprised that some on 
the list are a bit inflammable.
I often make comments that apply to classic cars in general and are not 
Healey specific. Many have other cars as well.

Cheers,
Kees Oudesluijs
