Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
What are your feelings driving both your 356 and Healey, Ashley?
The Healey must feel like a (fairly fast!) lorry compared with the 356?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
The Healey is quite fast, probably not much faster than the 356 and although not as bad as you’d expect, is nowhere near as nice to drive as my 356. It looks amazing, sounds wonderful etc, but it’s crude.
The 356C has the same size tyres, four wheel disc brakes and around 95bhp and weighs about 800lbs less. Brakes are better, as is grip, ride, steering, comfort, everything really and I much prefer driving it.
To be honest I’d sell the Healey but the kids love it because my wife had one when we married in 1970 and both cars came from John Chatham.
