hello all 



Way back when (mid 60s) , i was in a sportscar club in San Antonio, Texas 

called Checkpointer's Ltd.......... 




There was a guy in the club (an Englishman who was in our 

Air Force), who had a great Healey........... (I had an old beat 

up and modified '56 Healey)................. 



As I remember it - he told me that stripes down the hood of a car 

actually mean something - stripes could be thick or thin, and would 

refer to both the car and the driver..........  depending on the thickness 

of the stripes, and their layout, it would mean something like "car ready", 

or "driver ready" or "car and driver ready".............. 



Anyone know what the heck I am talking about?????? 



tks, ray
