Oh, and by the way, I've got to shower, shave and go pick up the car, I'm not as excited as I was 60+ years ago waiting for Christmas morning but... the difference isn't as great as you might think. I've not been excited about a car since... well, can't recall when?

Next time you hear from me, it'll be sitting in the driveway.

I've got the Haynes and one called Mazda Miata Enthusiast's shop manual by Rod Grainger and Pete Shoemark, The later is better as it has more details, but is for is mainly Americans with it's terminology The Haynes procedures are easier to understand and follow for us Europeans, but I still find myself going to the Enthusiasts manual for more details.

Good on ya mate, Get that top down and feel the wind, unless of course it starts your arthritis off.

This gotta be it:

What year is your new acquisition?

That's the one. I agree with Mark, that's by far the better, more detailed one (and it even works for me here in the UK!)

Hey ya laugh, but it takes some getting your head around some of this terminology you yanks use. I don't know what have you guys done to the English language, besides rape it.

I'm one who agrees with Isaac Asimov when he wrote, "If the Brits can't speak English, let them get their own language!"

Besides, we speak a language much closer to yours than do the Australians!
