This book is available on Amazon.com. New costs 98 bucks. Used anywhere from
17 bucks on up dependent upon condition. I just bought what I hope to be a
good used one. I am sure that there are other places that may have copies.
All signs are pointing to a wet and cold winter (meaning snow) so I will
have something to do other than watch TV or get aggravated trying to get
that last nut in an obscure place tightened.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Henry N.Manney III, was Crumpet Catchers
After more than 40 years in the automotive business I still use some of the
lessons I learned from Dick O'Kane. (fuel, air spark, right place, right
time, right amount)
How can you not love a book that starts off by telling you that you need to
own 2 copies, one to read at home and one to keep in the car when it
breaks? Or has a chapter that starts off with "What is the most useless
thing you can think of? A bird cage full of bat manure?... Rating right up
in there is the average foreign car owner's tool kit.
Or has a chapter entitled "Why if Britannica rules the waves, will her cars
not go though a puddle?"
I need to pull out a copy of How to Repair Your Foreign Car (A guide for
your wife, the beginner, and the mechanically inept) and read it again.
Take this as fact, if you ever see a copy of any book written by O'Kane, buy
it. You will thank me when you stop laughing.
