Ah, the big Healey... oh no, that's just a Midget! But still, cool little agile sportscar, made in pure British traditions.

@ Fangio Man: You, too, huh?, with my beliefs, values, and love for old cars, I sometime fantasize about living in the 50s, 60s, or 70s. I'm old school in a lot of ways. Dang you're young! Most 15 year old Americans are just getting their learners' permits and learning to drive.

On the 22 August I am going to celebrate my 15 birthday.
But I think I was born in the wrong decade.

@Shaggy
Congratulations to your 27/28 birthday!
BTW, this car is as old as my mother. :D

Nope, only remember the manufacturer.
BTW, do you know why the succesor of the Austin-Healey 3000 is called Austin-Healey 3000?
