[Healeys] Ford versus Ferrari

[Perry Small]

There are different themes that play 
out during the movie for sure. I’ll once 
again vote for the father / son relationship 
and “the Perfect Lap”.

I also liked that they made Enzo Ferarri look like a jackass which, from all I've heard, he was.  I'm sure most of us on this list would prefer a technical documentary on exactly how the cars were designed, built, tuned and driven but then you'd have an audience of maybe a couple thousand people.

I was thinking they must have used some kind of quick connect on the brake lines with a quick bleeder in place.
