That just looks painfully awkward.

It makes me insanely happy that the Healey has been Simponsized.

A310, good choice. I too have a soft spot for these types of cars. I think a PRV v6 motivated A310 would be a fun weekend car.

I just saw a Peugeot 405 Mi16 last night.

Better have Gawker Media buy you a spare. You'll need to record on video the start up sequences of some of those Bugattis.

My wife drives the Healey, but prefers to be a passenger. The transmission can be a bit balky at stoplights. The solution to that is to just start off in whatever gear is available; the car is as happy to start in 2nd as it is in 1st. A Healey is so torquey that on flat ground, 3rd turns the car into almost an…

My God. I am so jealous of you. I've always wanted to go to Goodwood, this gathering of cars is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

My Healey is quite brutish to drive and with its Monza exhaust has a muscular roar. That said, I always refer to it with feminine pronouns. I shall now think of it as a girly car. I can't think of a single woman who doesn't love the old girl.

Holy crap! That's what that cloud of smoke was from. I'm about 10 blocks away and noticed the smoke. Horrible for the friends, family, and colleagues of all involved.

Uh... Oops.

Very good points. While I am also a supporter if the Save The Ring fellow, I agree with Mr. holland's points.

Could always be driver error when I'm behind the wheel. This happens with T/C fully on. Granted the car still has the OEM tires. It usually happens when I'm turning right, uphill onto a quick street.

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. I'll have to consider that when my warranty expires.

Are any of these pieces available individually? Particularly the parts needed to bring my Abarth up to that power level?

Very cool! I'd look for a set of new wheels that look like the old wood ones. I can't imagine a wheel failure ending well.
That said, I'd love to carve canyons in that car. It makes my Healey look plush with its ridiculous creature comforts like doors and a windscreen.

He did a good job of avoiding the rocks. It really hurts when you fall on a rock. Been there...

Imagine the inside of this thing with the outside (and performance capabilities) of a Dakar truck.

I don't get the Prius hate either. Sure, they're not sports cars, but they do a great job of carrying people and things around while returning great fuel economy. Sounds like a good thing to me. My in-laws have a Prius, it's a great car and they love it.

The teams I've been associated with have been bound by an affinity for having fun and a profound respect for drinking good beer and wine.

Great photos. The stripe pattern makes me think of Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team.
