OK, this is going way back to the early days of this list (actually before 
it existed and there was only one, "british-cars" list).  But there was a 
TR6 owner named Scott Paisley who rebuilt his 6 engine, and while pushing 
the engine stand managed to push it right over.  Not wanting his newly 
rebuilt engine to hit the ground, he bravely STUCK HIS FOOT OUT to catch 
it!  Yep, 6 weeks of wearing a cast followed.

I'm thinking this was about 1991 --- anybody know Scott and his whereabouts 
now?  Scott, are you there just lurking like I still do after all these 
years?
