8.23- Healeys on Hodges



About a dozen Austin-Healeys and other British sports cars/roadsters parked on Hodges Street between Town Dock and The Bean coffee shop today as the Austin-Healey Club of America held its annual "ice cream social."

Owners (and some passengers) met for ice cream at Oriental's premiere coffee and ice cream shop, "The Bean," this year.

Most of the Austin-Healeys were "3000 MK" models (including both cars appearing in today's photo), though there was at least one "bugeye" Sprite as well. Also in the mix were several MGs, a Lotus Mark 7 (getting a "race car" start with the help of friends in today's slide show) and a Jaguar XKE.

For more photos of today's AH meet, see The Pamlico News' photo essay of the event.

Nice slideshow, I like oldtimers. You surprised me with the comments in Dutch, good translation tool. About summers in Belgium, sad but true, some sun, many clouds and almost every day rain, temperatures around 20°C. When it's not raining we can take lovely pictures of the sky. When I see your pictures, you live in a fantastic nice area (with lots od sun?).
