In 1968, driving my one year old BJ8, which I purchased new, I had a blade
"come adrift" while crossing Utah at a very high rate of speed. Luckily, it
went straight into the crossmember below the radiator, penetrating almost one
quarter of it's length. I removed the remaining mate and finished my
honeymoon, returning to Illinois with just two blades. 37 years ago and I can
still remember the "BANG" and subsequent vibration before I could throw out
the clutch.
See you at Conclave 2005
