You know what I wish... I wish there was a Haynes manual for the Soarer. For the clueless weekend knuckle bleeder like me, they were always a godsend with their easy step by step instructions for all the common jobs on a car you could think of. Plus they were tough enough to withstand being hurled across the garage floor when frustration levels rose.



As a former Mini owner, I gotta say I'm not a fan of the HBOL (Haynes Book Of Lies as it was referred to on the mini forums). Filled with useful instructions like, for example, a clutch change:
1. Remove starter motor.
2. Remove gearbox.
3. Replace clutch.
4. Reinstall in reverse order.

Thankyou Haynes, for making that SO much clearer.
