Haynes started Haynes Publishing after helping fix an Austin Healey Sprite while serving in the Royal Air Force and realizing the official manual wasn't designed to help an average car owner.
He purchased a camera and documented the repair processes, including an entire rebuild of the car's engine. The step-by-step approach and diagrams would become a trademark for Haynes Manuals going forward.

ReplyDeleteTHanks! It's the only thing I got right, all day long. I've been getting bitched at and kicked off facebook pages because of bitchy people all day long, and I've had 2 people here on my site tell me I'm a moron, and shut the fuck up. Yeah, here. Where I get to put out my whatever, and everyone can ignore it and move on.
