[Healeys] Re - What Jack?

[Michael Oritt]

Michael--

Your message reminded me of the last time I used the scissor jack which was
about ten years ago and I am gonna send away for the 12 volt version.
Reaching under the car with a socket wrench to lift the car up was not easy
and I am sure that time has not made it any easier.
