Well, it’s hard to believe, but fall is just around the corner - the perfect time for drives and get-togethers. I hope you are getting out to the car get-togethers.
We get to catch up, tell new stories, get to know each other better, and occasionally, meet a new Healey owner and/or enthusiast. I was recently at a Friday car gathering in Garden Grove with my BN-1. A gentleman came up to tell me about his early 3000 that he has had since 1976 and is in the process of restoring. We traded stories and suggested he join the club. Pointed out that across our members, the depth of knowledge and experience is amazing. I also mentioned our website and our car get-togethers.
There are still Healey’s out there waiting to get back on the road and maybem join our family.

Also, I would like to extend a special thank you to Amanda Walker for her entry for the logo. There were quite a few amazing and thoughtful logo designs submitted and a tough selection, but in the end, Amanda ‘s was selected.
