Went down to Victoria for the VW show today. Hilariously, the Rally Bug won best late model beetle. I only entered for the parking with group, but I'll take it!

The Rally Bug thanked me by dropping a valve seat on the way home. Readjusted the valve, considered the likely possibility of grenading the motor before getting home, and then went for it. So, after getting home at 8:30pm, I pulled the motor. Valve seat confirmed, don't know if I did any piston damage. Carnage photos tomorrow night once I pull the motor apart.
