Do, any other brethren ( or sistren!) have a copy of "How to repair your foreign car" by Dick O'Shane (honestly!), published by Doubleday in 1968. In it , a TF on the title page and page 24 has mutated to a TC ( and in a state I happen to be very familiar with!) by page 66. The writing is most amusing! David lodge.

Andy, If that's from memory, extremely well done! David Lodge Herald1200@aol.com wrote:

Nolite id cogere; cape Malleum majorem (I think; I don't have the book handy). Translation: Don't force it; get a bigger hammer. Without that Dick O'Kane book, which should be required reading for any mechanic or hobbyist, I seriously doubt I'd ever have ended up as a British Car enthusiast and collector.
