Renault Dauphine. Driving 5 miles to town with brother/listmember Alan. 1966. Engine and transmission fell out on the road, captured more or less by the rear body metal. Walked to a nearby house and borrowed 5 coathangers from the lady who lived there. Rehung the motor and transmission and drove home. 

It happened.
