[debaucheryBotched]

Just misses the back of your head. Ouch.....Ouch....Ouch! LOL

[discoqueen216]

did you make the key or buy it as a kit? i wanna put one on my boyfriend's car and im wondering what it's made from.

[Hendeesh]

Frogeye not Bugeye. Don't care what it was sold under in USA its wrong. ;)

I have a 67 Sprite Mark III and I think this Bug Eye is great... How far does it go on a windup..lol

Sounds like the engine is in well tune. Those carbs can be a pain in the you know what...

great video clip and I've rated it as five star. Please check out my clips on vintage motor car trading cards, 1920s-1950s.

That key would look a lot better lower on the trunk (boot)... but it works. Applause to the guy for building one himself, as they are not cheap to get a windupkey custom made for your car. Healeys are pretty sweet cars.

If you changed the mechamics where if you grabbed the car and pulled it backwards on the road, you wouldn't need that wind up key. Of course, when you let go the bugeye would then lurch wildy out of control and go about 100 mph into a couple of houses, bouncing around until the spring wound out. That would be fun! Healeys ROCK!
