> 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.
