Repairable cars

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

My 1965 Triumph 2000 Saloon actually had complete instructions to R&R the 
head, in the Owner's Manual. Now THAT was an Owner's Manual.

As for the Englishman's point of pride in DIY, well maybe, but more likely 
the darned thing was so unreliable he HAD to know how to fix it, on a dark 
and rainy Sunday night with ordinary hand tools (Yup, I did the head R&R 
with a set of box and open spanners made in India, combination wrenches to 
you yanks, and a three foot piece of 1/2 inch iron gas pipe for a torque 
wrench , gas pipe is commonly available in Canada for handyman repairs to 
your natural gas furnace , kaboom) and God knows you have to know how to 
dismantle and re assemble a British car to fix anything.
