<VV> Seat dropping record

[J R Read_HML]

I dropped a seat during a club event on the weekend.  Of course, everyone 
knew about it.  I drove the car to the monthly meeting on Wednesday. 
Someone said "Didn't you drop a valve seat?"   I said - "yes....   spare 
head".  Claypool happen to overhear the conversation and said, "Aha, the 
sign of a PREPARED 140 driver!"

Later, JR

'61 Rampside Standard 4/110
'65 Monza Convertible 4/140
'66 beater Coupe - "icemobile" 4/140
