Is there a Haynes manual for everything?
Davey D - 27/10/11 at 06:43 PM

Weve been doing some work at a local airport in some of the private hangars. Whilst there the owners let us have a look around. Amongst the old aston martin race cars, shelves stacked with spare jet engines for one of his jet planes and a couple of WW2 planes including a fully restored and working Spitfire I noticed he had a rather large engine on an engine stand being worked on so I went over to have a look to see it was a spare merlin engine for his spitfire... And what did he have sat on top of the engine?... Only a Haynes manual for the submarine spitfire! :-o There truly must be a manual for everything

I reckon you'd be hard pressed to find something that doesn't fit... Iirc they do washing machines, body repair, I know they do man, woman and babies..

It would seem so link

I recall they didn't do one for our old Lancia Dedra's....not that I blame them, not enough demand and they would have all rotted away before the ink was dry ;-)

To my annoyance, they dont do one for the alfa 147 but everything else yup


Macbeast - 27/10/11 at 07:47 PM

They didn't do one for my Nissan 200SX


mad4x4 - 27/10/11 at 07:48 PM

also one for the Starship Enterprise

They didn't do one for impreza turbo's either, would have been a winner now with all the enthusiasts

Don't do one for my Jeep


david_hornet27 - 27/10/11 at 08:24 PM

Don't do one for my last or current tin top, Scorpio 24V and now Lexus LS400. Yes I like barges...

Don't do one for the mk1 Leon either


Ben_Copeland - 28/10/11 at 05:58 AM

Great. So they do one for a washing machine but not for a 2006 ford galaxy/Vw/seat

Have you just discovered a secret weapon, details of which had never been released before? I remember the flying sub' in "Voyage to the bottom of the sea" but never thought we had them in WW2. No wonder we won!

The Spitfire manual is not really an actual manual, its a collection of interesting information and great pictures about the Spitfire.

Still a great book though, I bought one, but now in true form lent it to someone and can't remember who!

Cheers
