<DIV>Perry, Bob, et al: I have owned 15 vehicles in my
lifetime, none of which had a name. I can't even say that I ever called
any of them names. That included a 1932 Plymouth three window
coupe that I put a V8 in (first car), a 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood
Continental, a Renault Dauphine that I drove for four years while stationed in
France (loved it on those French two lane roads), a 1962 MG Midget (Christmas
present from Mrs. H.), a Morris Mini, and a 1980 Chevrolet van (dual fuel,
gasoline/propane) that had 136,000 + miles on it when purchased. We
modified it a bit as a camper and drove to Alaska and back. Those and the
others were very satisfactory transportation filling our needs at the
time. But - The Healey does have a name. Wife, Marge, named it "The
1st Mrs. Hartnett". She claims that I pay more attention the car than I do
to her. It would not be in the best interest of a
happy marriage to argue with her about it. I just try to keep it
in balance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And I will be participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Old
Sacramento with the United British Sports Car Club tomorrow.</DIV>

<DIV>Give her a name; "it" sounds like a science fiction film I once
saw.</DIV>
