<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;">We had great fun this year with more than 100 Austin-Healeys in the Black Forest/Germany. More than 60 Healeys came over from the UK. Other cars were from so many friends in Europe /France, Switzerland, Poland, Norway, Danmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany ) and we also had the Putzke Family from the US with us.<br /></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0px;">This was an Austin-Healey Club UK Event which was for me the best event I ever joint. Must say I was one of the organisers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Last picture is me and my daughter in our beloved Sprite. First of my Austin-Healeys, which I bought in 1984. Next year we have our International Healey Weekend at Leamington Spa close to Warwick in England.</p>

<div>Dear Josef,
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">My fondest memories was driving the autobahns back in 1972 - 1975 while I was stationed in Neubrucke.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">We had a new BMW 2002 TII that we put almost 40,000 miles on driving around Europe. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">One fantastic run was from the French border to Frankfurt , almost 100 miles in just an hour, . </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">One thing i remember was no matter how fast you were driving, there was always someone faster…</div>
<div class="">flashing their lights, wanting to pass.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I also had the roadster I built back in 1969 with me. Nothing greater than cruising the countryside in an open car.</div>
