Thanks for the book

Is there any reason why the print is different on some pages?

Any more feedback?

Having posted my OH's comments yesterday, I got home last night to find my copy had arrived - ta muchly! As someone mentioned, a few of the centre pages are a lighter text (presume the YTS lad forgot to top up the toner), but all still readable.

Feedback? Yes, have the staple scars gone from your scrotum now?

ETA this?

I've just nipped over to Amazon out of curiosity and I'm rather inntrigued by the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section. The book plainly has a wide-ranging appeal.

I'm ordering a copy, if only to see how the associated product selection changes!

I also notice the "About the author" has a typo!

Rich Duisberg writes for a number of car magazines, and occasionally writes and presents for CBS's Carfection channel and Motors TV. He was once paid to help manufacturers put new cars together properly, but now spends his time taking old cars part and losing the important bits. More about him at www.motorpunk.co.uk

Surely that should be "taking old cars apart"

Got mine through this morning thanks, had a skim of the contents just to satisfy myself.. Will start the reading ceremony when I have some more time on my hands, looking forward to it!

[RenesisEvo]

Arrived today, yay! Incredible how what started off as a few posts on this forum, are now an actual book in my hands

No e-book and not in my junk mail either

Rich, I have sent you a message on Kickstarter to confirm email addresses.

Is it a Rover or an MG?

[Perik Omo]

Jag XJR ?

[Huff]

XJS 6litre?

(please say no - it's one of the cars I have an irrational want for, right up there after the Lister-modified XJS...)

Is there a kindle version? I can't see one.
SORRY it's a different book and not linked from the other ASIN page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confessions-quality-contr...

Have been looking, but no.

C'mon, think flakier than all these.

Haven't actually gotten my copy yet so I can't see what cars have been mentioned but i shall take a wild guess and say Austin Maestro diesel.

[Huff]

SD1 Vanden Plas? Or something plastic from Hethel?

Oh god have you bought an Alfa?

Chrysler Alpine?


Many years ago I was a milkman and one of my customers was a retired car dealer. He had a story of how a Chrysler Alpine was delivered new and after a short while the proud owner complained of weird handling. It transpired the rear suspension mounts were only tack welded in place making this new car a veritable death trap. He was supplied with another with all the extras they could put on it. But yes the camshaft still rattled even when new.
