I can rest easy now knowing I'll be able to keep my Scorpion running after the apocalypse.

Now all ya gotta do is get the Porsche.

 

[Guildedagain]

I should get one of those, but my 911 would be low maintenance.

^ A whale of a tail ^

I've had the Balmer Strat manual for a while, I read it before going to sleep, or when walking up, I'm romantic like that. Nice foreword by Hank Marvin.

That Scorpion would be a lot of fun in SoCal traffic ;[]

I had Haynes and Clymer manuals for all my motorcycles.

I had the Haynes manuals for all of my Volvos -- still might have my "Gothenburg Bible" 240 blue book around somewhere as well.

I used to work for this old guy, Grant L. who owned Antique Auto Ranch in these parts for years, til he sold the business to son in law that can be seen driving around town in an open top Model T, hair flying in the wind.

And he had me working on some pretty crazy stuff, Graham Bros truck from the 20's, giant Studebaker 3 seat touring car, Model T's, which will run you over when they start... nothing that ever had a manual, which is fine because I can't really read them, or don't like to (I'm an autodidact) but one day he wanted me to put a fuel pump in his 80's Citation, it's in the fuel tank, and I'd never done that before and so I says, Grant, you got a manual for that car?

He says somewhat flippantly "Yeah, you can read it afterwards if you're still interested" ;[]

"Gothenburg Bible" ... That seriously made me spit coffee, Br1ck!

Always made me chuckle.....

Always liked the Scorpion, which still holds the Guinness world record as the fastest tank. Originally powered by a 4.2 litre Jaguar straight six.

Poor Miserable Me

I do not have a Haynes Manual for my 1998 MB ML320 . . .

With DB's licensing fee the Haynes manual would necessarily carry a price tag of 1500 euros, but MB already offers it digitally for only 120 euros (annually). Maybe they haven't released it in Finland yet.

Hard to believe that motor could push/pull a 17,000 lb beast...but Google confirmed

By armoured vehicle standards, that's really light and results in a high power to weight ratio. Historically, there were much heavier tanks with less power ( the British Matilda II of WWII was over three times as heavy with the same power). The engine was ruggedised and detuned, but still capable of 190HP. A great engine, which was produced in various versions from 1949 till 1992 and was very advanced when first designed! They later changed the engines for Diesels, mainly to improve the range.

My first motorcycle was a ‘65 Honda 305 Superhawk. The aftermarket manuals were lifesavers back then, since the Honda manual‘s written English was only good for a belly laugh!
