BIG SNIP

Brian, I don't have any info for you, but your thread reminds me of
the car I cut my wrenchin' teeth on, Dad's old Austin Healy 100-4. I
tuned his spoked wheels as my first automotive task, then helped him
tune the engine up (mostly watching) for the next weekend's autocross
or gymkhana. Fond old memories. I think I was 7.

Hey Larry,

Very good memories to have !! At 7 for me in 1947, it was soldiers
and "the enemy". Lots of fun then. I didn't get into working on cars
until the early '50's.

Brian.
