As the president of the GGAHC I appreciate your coming from so far and your kind remarks. My team worked hard for three years to make the event memorable.

Hi all,

Just back from the round trip to Monterey for the International Healey Week.

Many thanks to the Golden Gate Austin Healey Club who hosted a great event. It was well worth the drive.

Many highlights of the event included meeting many of the people on this list, the Rally out to Big Sur, the car show in Pacific Grove and the laps of Laguna Seca.



The 1958 Pacific Green BN6 performed well and didn’t let me down.

The only casualties were the tach cable which broke two days into the trip and not replaced until two days left, the rear exhaust pipe bracket vibrated itself apart, (bailing wire fix and it was already near failure and I forgot that last minute repair), the driver side wiper arm jumped ship in a torrential downpour at dusk, and a pressure wave from a semi truck blew out the cheap aftermarket plexi glass from the passenger side screen during yesterday’s snowstorm.



Here are the stats from the Garmin GPS,



Metric Version

Distance = 5737 km

Fuel = 842.3 litres

Avg. = 14.7 litres\100km

Oil used = 3.8 litres

Rad Fluid added = ½ litre

Garmin Top Speed = 151 km/hr

Avg. Moving Speed = 67.3 km/h

Max Elevation = 2933 meters

Min Elevation = 2 meters

Max Temp = 35 C

Min Temp = 0 C



Statute Version

Distance = 3565 miles

Fuel = 222.5 US gallons

Avg. = 16 mpg

Oil used = 4 quarts

Avg. = 1 qt./891 miles

Transmission Fluid = 0

Rad Fluid added = ½ qt.

Garmin Top Speed = 94 mph (the speedo read 105 very briefly)

Avg. Moving Speed = 41.8 mph

Max Elevation = 9624 feet (Sonora Pass)

Min Elevation = 2 meters

Max Temp = 95 F

Min Temp = 32 F



Cheers
