I received my Russek manual a couple of weeks ago. It is indeed a glovebox
sized book with about 150 pages. It seems quite good although I have yet to
test it in the trenches. One thing I did find (slightly) disappointing is that
it is strictly for British (or rather LHD) TR6s. It seems the other manuals I
have (Bentley & Haynes) cover both models.
But $10 Canadian seemed worth it for another potential source of info.
I think the fellow who organized this is Scott Jensen
[sjensen@astral.magic.ca]. I hope he desn't mind me broadcasting this but it
surely was all over the group when the thread was active.

Good morning:
Since we're talking about manuals, let me second the motion that you can't
have too many. I have the Haynes that I bought with my car 20 years ago, as
well as a Bentley and an Autopress. All have their worth when things become
confusing, but the Bentley is the most exhaustive in scope.
In a similar vein, there was a thread a while back involving a gentlemen in
Canada buying up a lot of Russek manuals for distribution to list members
signing up for the program. I put my name in for one, but have not heard
from him since. Anyone know how that effort is going?
Happy holidays to all of you, and please remember the reason for the season.
