    Apart from doing a bit of gardening. :blue thumb:

    Bought a 12 year old MX5 recently to complement my Healey. (Don't think I'll ever be able to afford a new car. Oh, well.)

      The Healey looks amazing. You've clearly loved that car. I'm very jealous ;)

      WOW, WOW and WOW again ... don't ask me if I am jealous ... :wow:

      I haven't bought a new car since the mid 70s as I prefer classics myself and still miss my Healey Sprite and Austin Sprite. :smile:
