schraders 10th anniversary...


A from long beach stopped by on the way to azusa canyon. hope he had a great ride :)

このブログでいつもアズサ山を見ているのでロングビーチから乗りに来たというAが、チャボに寄ってくれた。いってらっしゃーい!

our friend's shop two blocks away is having 10year anniversary open house this afternoon so shinya decided to take the kiriya. it has been sitting here for a while...it's a bit hard to ride around for shinya since the owner has long legs and shinya doesn't.

ここから2ブロックの所にある友達のショップで10周年記念のオープンハウスがある。せっかくのお祝いなので、特別な乗り物で駆けつけたい。そうだkiriyaで行こう、2ブロックだけど・・・

schraders was our next door neighbor when we moved in here and have been friends with the owner MA since then. he moved 2 blocks away maybe two years ago. oh, i forgot to take pictures of him...what was i thinking? anyway, he's one of our few special friends who knows the whole length of the chabott life. happy anniversary, M!

チャボがアズサに来てからずっとお隣だったシュレーダース。一瞬12番に移ったりして、一昨年2ブロック離れた所に引っ越しちゃったけど(歩いて行ける距離)、オーナーのMAとはずっと友達。たぶん、スットコWタナベ氏と並んでチャボの創業当初から今までをすべて知っているレアなフレンド。我々もその間のMの彼女を全員知っている。2年前には結婚式にも行った。10周年おめでとう!

 timeless austin healey 100

時代を超えた美しさを放つ、オースチン・ヒーリー 100。後ろにジャカランダの花が咲いてる。
目松井氏(目だけ松井に似てるホットカンパニーのIガラシ氏)がジャカランダが好きという話を聞いてから、ジャカランダを見る度に「あ、目松井氏が好きな花」と言う羽目に。ちょっとめんどい。老眼だから読みにくいだろうと思ってフォントを小さくしてみた。


the owner. his brother races at el mirage.

こちらがオーナー。彼の兄弟がエルミラージでレースしているし、いつもシュレーダースで会うのに名前を失念。いよいよ一つまみくらい残っていたはずの記憶力が全部なくなったようだ。

cool cars poured in one after another. it was a great gathering. thank you, M and J!

続々とカッコイイ乗り物が到着。良い集まりだった。MとJありがとう!

"The Austin-Healey 100 is a sports car built from 1953 until 1956.

It was developed by Donald Healey to be produced in-house by Healey's small car company in Warwick and based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals. Healey built a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show, and the design impressed Leonard Lord, Managing Director of Austin so much, he was looking for a replacement to the unsuccessful A90, that a deal was struck with Healey to build it in quantity at Austin's Longbridge factory. The car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100.

The "100" name comes from Donald Healey, who selected the name from the car's ability to reach 100 mph (160 km/h), as opposed to the Austin-Healey 3000, which is named for its 3000 cc engine.

Production Austin-Healey 100s were finished at Austin's Longbridge plant alongside the A90 and based on fully trimmed and painted body/chassis units produced by Jensen in West Bromwich—in an arrangement the two companies previously had explored with the Austin A40 Sports.

The 100 was the first of three models later called the Big Healeys to distinguish them from the much smaller Austin-Healey Sprite. The Big Healeys are often referred to by their three-character model designators rather than by their models, as the model names do not reflect the mechanical differences and similarities well."
