[Healeys] NOJ 393 at Work

[Chris Dimmock]

I totally agree it's great to see it on the road. I also think to have an idiot who clearly can't drive it belittles it's provenance. 
Its a race car, driven like it handles worse than a Toyota Camry. 
Sorry if I offended, but that bloke made a Le Mans provenance Healey look stupid. Because he can't drive a 1950's car and make it sing and do all the things a beautiful ex factory race car can do. 
My comment about his line? It's an ex factory Le Mans race car..... 
Reminds me of when Jeremy Clarkson took a Toyota Prius around the Top Gear track. Bloody funny television, but not what the Prius was designed for, nor the way it was intended to be driven.

Problem with this guy is he's not really a classic car guy so he doesn't know this... but strangely he writes for a classic car mag.
