<VV> Fan belt story

[Russ Moorhouse]

The following story was sent to me by the original owner of my Corvair, who 
sold the Corvair so he could devote more time on his Morgan and not feel 
guilt about neglecting the Corvair.

I was just wondering if anyone on VV was on the receiving end of this story.
