There is no doubt that, from time to time, it has its ups and down, like anything in life. As for myself, I feel that when Rich Chrysler passed on, we not only lost someone with great knowledge of Austin-Healeys, in particular with the 100 model, but we lost someone who could write things in a way that you could almost see how the part fitted, and how to make it work.
