Pensioners - Haynes Explains (Owners' Workshop Manual)

The Haynes Manual is one of publishing s most famous and enduring icons. More than 200 million copies have been sold, covering everything from Austin Allegros to Zombie Survival. Now Haynes is sending itself up in a fabulously amusing and brilliantly-observed new format. Haynes Explains are compact guides to four major stages of life: babies, teenagers, marriage and pensioners. Based on the classic stripdown and rebuild outline, and using original Haynes lines drawings, these books are perfect gifts or stocking fillers. Old age is when you realise that you will never be old enough to know better. The aim of Haynes Explains Pensioners is to help you get the best value from your retirement.
