<VV> Not Getting Stranded

[Ron Hinz]

I refuse to believe that anyone broke a crankshaft a hundred miles from the 
nearest habitation, parked on a dirt road, dropped the engine, split the 
block, installed a spare shaft which they just happened to have, reinstalled 
the engine without jacks, etc. and drove merrily off before breakfast.  No, 
there's too many bottles of Jack Daniels in that scenario.

Smitty says;   Ron I'll see your cam gear and raise you a two piece
crankshaft in the middle of south Dakota.  And yes I drove the car back to
Virginia after making a couple of minor adjustments.  No tow companies were
involved.  When something breaks all you got to do is fix it.  This was also
before cell phones.


I defy anyone to not be stranded when the cam gear goes when you are on a
remote two lane highway beyond sight of any habitation.  It happened to me
trying to come home from the Lake Tahoe National.  I didn't even have a cell
phone back then and one wouldn't have worked there anyways.

Ron Hinz, was in my '63 Rampside.
