Reminissing

it's our 53 rd wedding anniversary today, I am thinking back to 1963 when we had my 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 for our honeymoon.

In some ways the Boxter is a car for its time as the Healey was in 1963, having traded my MG TD on the Healey, it seemed like a supercar, a bit of a truck by today,s standards. With apologies to any of you who own one today, they are still a great looking car.

A friend of mine had a Porsche 356b which would overheat if driven above 80 mph for long periods. The Healy would cruise happily at 100 mph.

In the days before revenue raising speed cameras,

Cheers,

Alan
