Poor Richard's Rabbit Book

[Peter Jones]

Before the internet the answers to lots of the questions asked on this forum used to be found in books.

This is one of those books.

Unlike most technical manuals this is very much written in the casual banter style found on forums today.

The text is a great read and the advice very practical.

I've just recieved a copy ex-ebay (yes it was me that outbid you)

There's an equivalent beetle version of the book which is far more common, you rarely find the rabbit book.

If you can find a copy, buy it.

The illustrations are pure gold, at the risk of copyright infringment, I'll share a few with you so long as you all promise to run out and buy a copy.





Can't imagine why this image makes me think of you Preeny.







Been in this position many times.



This is cute - Fxes in Foxes chasing a Rabbit in a Rabbit.



Don't assume this is technically lightweight, this guy's got the courage to walk novices through stripping down a K-Jet system



Jarred, You sooooo need this on a T-Shirt!

Hahahaha..

You won't be disappointed it's a great read.

Our scanner is buried under a pile of papers at the moment so I've just snapped these with my camera, the llight's not so great now but here's a few more snippents that caught my eye.

Absolutely wonderful illustrations there, I especially liked the last one and the poor bugger who had to fill his rabbit at a truck stop! The latter really was the case in the USA when the rabbit came out, despite its epic fuel economy of an average 50mpg there really weren't enough diesel passenger cars to justify having diesel at local pumps.

I forgot to list the details.

With the thread title, I thought it was spam.
Its kind of an Alice in Wonderland for Golfs
