Books, that is.

Sorry to see this coming to an end but I do not think I will need actual new ones. There's always the second hand one of course (as I write this there is one on my way, bought on Ebay).

I have learnt so much from having (second hand of course) Haynes manuals back when I started in the 80s. Still have the ones for my Herald and the Imp, both are very grubby now and the spline fails to keep the pages together. But I will not throw them away.

Still have the tendency to buy a Haynes when I get another car but the new ones are not as exhaustive as the proper older ones.

It's been a while since I bought one, but over the years I've used plenty. A digital download, even if printed off, just isn't the same as a printed copy.

I was given this one a few years back. As if owners of real cars would need one!
