    A book.....

    a few people have mentioned that I should write a book.......

    While Im flattered I dont think My life is that great or my musings all that good. Most of my literary style is the lifting of a few authors that I like and matching one of their techniques with a simple story... add a dash of truth stretch, omit a name and fling in some fancy words and sprinkle liberally with insults an lo, one of my typical posts emerges to the ether.


    but heres the kicker...

    one of my things in life is helping others and where I can trying to make their vista just that little bit brighter (these days thats easy, I just lean over and crank up the monitors settings)

    So given that I have a captive audience on the forum who'd like me to go it and how...

    If it gets popular enough I might even go it to print one day.....

    and yes I just realised... doing it here would be akin to blogging... so IF I go this you get to witness a rare for me, 2 firsts at once.....



    would you be prepared to be my second greatest critic?

    Dave , my suggestion is Go for it , but whilst I think you may have had inspirations from other authors , i also suggest that may be perhaps you should develop your own style.

    If you have thought about it and think you can do it....then why think about it any longer?! Writing a book would be an excellent achievement...just do it!

    Yeah - she'd be a REAL Land Rover version.

    One for the main workshop manual and one for the electrical supplement

    You could even do the export version as well
