And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A friend back in college had the Austin-Healey 3000, which looked very much like this.
It ran well enough to scare the daylights out of me on more than one occasion, but my friend was an ex-racing driver and ambulance driver. He knew how to drive!
Envied the hell out of him & his car (I had an 80cc dirt bike at the time.) Still would like to have one, but not in the traffic around here.
Austin Healey? Some had a very nice six-cylinder to them
ReplyDeleteMGA. 4 Banger 1500 or 1600 cc.

1500 based on the grill. Unless it had a Judson supercharger fitted I wouldn't use the word 'speed'.
DeleteThe twin cam 1600 was sweet though.
