Title: If You Think You Are Smarter Than The Previous Generation...
Post by: Bentley Bullet on July 20, 2022, 11:58:28 pm: 50 years ago, the owner's manual of a car showed you how to adjust the valves. Today it warns you not to drink the contents of the battery.

50 years ago, the owner's manual of a car showed you how to adjust the valves. Today it warns you not to drink the contents of the battery.

The Haynes manual for a car of today would have to have an appendix so big for the health and safety and PPE requirements that it would dwarf the actual technical sections.

She answered 'the Isle of Man'?
