Stayin' Alive

I spotted this image of a 'Big' Healey and it instantly catapulted me back to those adolescent years. Not only did one of my good buddies terrorize the streets around our High School in one, but he took me with him as a witless accomplice. Check out the image of the Village Purple Onion Discotheque that was at 135 West 3rd, Street, Greenwich Village.

I'm betting that it's the early to mid 70's in New York City with the go-go dancers perched on the car. I can just feel the beat of the Bee Gees and Donna Sommers vibrating my inner ear drums, the sparkle of the disco ball and see the shimmer coming off the polyester wear.

Come to think about it, maybe the girls were the pit crew for this hard driving racer. Let's hear it for good old British Iron.

 Jimi Hendrix rocked the Onion in the photo below a few years earlier most likely around 1966.
