I was looking to see if there were any new Terry Pratchett books & on the way out passed the automotive section where I saw one of the books so I stopped to have a gander.
I then immediately thought of some of the more clueless among the BCF massive who would doubtless benefit from having a read of said tomes...
You can order em both online for about $50 plus P&P etc

Awaiting the first post by a former muppet along the lines of "changed the blinker fluid, tightened the muffler bearings & am halfway thru re-alignment of the knueter valve..."

Got mine today, can't resist stuff like this, may have to convert one bedroom into a library at this rate.
So, anyone else yet?

Nope, another week to wait for mine. Sad

Could have done with it for this weekend. Since it's the Queens birthday I get Friday off as well as the bank holiday Monday, and the way my bikes playing up at present it'll take all four days to get it working properly!

Don't suppose it's got a chapter headed "What to do when you get weird vibrations through your foot rests" does it?

The workshop book is quite funny in places, for a cheap hack to learn basic skills on he recommends a Harley Sportster Rolling Eyes

There are several references to HD mechanicals in the book, but the pics show anything but HD's.
The compressor pic'd on page 150 is the exact one I have Smile

The paint chapter is also fairly good Thumbs Up
