Peculiar, that as of today I own these two cars. I mean, they have nothing in common, do they?

They are both black. Was that the answer you were looking for? What did I win?

Curt, I had a Austin Healey 3000 III (big Healey) for 20 years. They are fun cars and easy to work on...have fun!

Curt,

Reminds me of a story that was in the British press many years ago. Some lady owned one of these things and somehow her chap was managing to pleasure the lady in one of these cars. Whether the "geometry" had anything to do with it I have no idea but at some climatic moment one of the poor chaps discs in his spine "popped". The poor chap was in such agony he could not move and needless to say said lady was trapped in a somewhat compromising position.

Well the police were called who in turn called the fire brigade who eventually managed to extricate the couple after cutting large chunks of the car out of the way. The poor chap was carted off to hospital in an ambulance and the lady was rather distraught sobbing her eyes out. The police tried to console the lady by reassuring her that her feller was going to be OK to which she retorted "Bugger him, what the hell am I going to tell my husband happened to his favourite car?".

The moral of the story "Don't screw around in a Frog Eye Sprite"! The 928 is clearly far superior.

Rgds

Fred
