[Healeys] Sad news - Rallyist Killed in Healey 100

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

To be honest, I have no respect for such a person, or better 82 years old 
fart who brought others in danger with his driving. Thankfully no other 
person was invoved and injured.

Its very common all over in central Europe to have these ditches, trees or 
even walls along country roads. That is how we love it.

For big money you can book in to take part in one of these leasure raĺlys, 
where you get all accomodation organised, only you have to come from a to b 
along. these rallys are mainly booked from those mainly elderly people who 
do not know what to do otherwise with their money, even they are completely 
overextended by driving an old classic car.

One should be wise enough to give up driving, when you are no more capable 
to drive.

I am only sorry about the wrecked Austin-Healey.

Michael--

 

Most of them weren't "open" ditches--they were filled with rocks.  

I fondly recall the time we missed a left-hander, went off the road, 
somehow hurtled OVER the ditch and landed in a tree in a fellow's front 
yard.  As I remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared the 
branches out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took off 
without much conversation.

 

Best--Michael Oritt

Just like Newfoundland which for me was a major factor in giving up on the 
Targa there.

Italian roads are amazing for driving through beautiful countryside, but 
they are deadly because all the roads are surrounded by open drainage 
ditches.

I saw this yesterday. Very sad on so many levels. I was wondering if this 
is the drive a number of the Southern California Healey Association members 
are on in Europe at this moment.
