Hi Hendrik..
Thanks for your support..
With technology changing so quickly,it's CD's today...what's next..??
At least with the paper manual you can open the page and find what you are looking for instantly,and lug it out to the shop and spill oil ,coffee and beer on it and it won't short out..
I wouldn't want to sacrifice my original manuals like that because they are aging and won't stand a lot of handling any more ,but a copy is ideal..
My copy's are world class and anyone that has purchaced them has praised my work and product..I sold my first manual reproduction to Rod Diery in Australia over 10 years ago and Rod knows his stuff and is probably still using it..
It makes me proud to be a part of this hobby and get involved in my own way with all you restorers..have restored 1:1 vehicles myself without the help of the manuals have a great appreciation of the product.
Thanks again.
