[Healeys] Is the list down or just us?

[Michael Salter]

To be honest Perry, I'm quite afraid that if I stopped being obsessed with
my hobby I  would probably never get back to it.
I  work on Healey stuff almost every day probably on average 5 - 6 hours a
day and enjoy every minute.
As I age I do find that if I take a break for a few days I often have to
push myself to get back into it.
I have several friends around my age who have stalled projects in their
garages that they will never get back to.
I have ahead of me a recently acquired BN2 which is totally disassembled, a
'65 Morris Cooper S which is rust free and runs well but needs a major
tidyup and repaint, a Mini estate also rust free and totally disassembled,
and a '70 MGBGT partially disassembled for minor rust repair and repaint.
I sometimes dispair that I'll never get everything done before I'm no
longer able to persue my hobby.
I guess the Canadian winter helps a little ... what else are you going to
do? I guess that and the immense pride in the finished jobs is what
motivates me.
