When they talked about racing a modern tuner car I thought they were going to use a big Healey. What a surprise!
True, but it would be interesting to see a better "tuner car" as well, like a modded Subaru WRX or Toyota Supra. Maybe race that against a bigger Healey like a BN100 or something.

At your prompting I have just watched it. Pretty cool. I know what is appealing about the old Brit sports cars. I used to borrow a friend's Healy and that was a blast to drive. My daughter was about three and thought we were in a toy car. She would giggle the whole trip. Without family passengers I would push it through the gears and turns. That was a really good driving experience. It's a good thing the USA doesn't have as many road events for the public as the Brits apparently do. We naver wold find time to get stuff done.
