yep those pages in your other thread are from the gregorys like ive got here

Thanx mate. It took over two years for me to get that information.
Finally, you enlightened me.
Now I know, I need to have Gregory's manual in my arsenal.
If you are anywhere near, I could've borrowed it & scan the whole thing.
I like docs in ebook format. Saves me lot of trouble
Too bad for me, you're too far away.

i like my manuals to be hard copies, if im doing anything that i need the manual its right there with me getting dirty, whether its for my patrol or a spec book for the holden v8 stroker i just finished building

Yes, it works fine, especially when you don't expect the manual to last forever.
I tend to stick with same car for years, so prefer the idea of having a copy of manual everywhere
I go without missing pages. PDF is the only portable solution in that degree.
It also helped to reduce the number of hard copy books in my small living space.
Only downside is that I have to rely on modern piece of technology and energy to access the most of the books/manuals. It's not that bad, it's kinda technology available pretty much everywhere nowadays.I simply have to carry a USB stick around with me.

And I like my hands getting dirty(well, not all the time ), but the manual to look pristine.
I use an old beaten up laptop for outdoor stuff.

oily hand prints just make it easier to find your page again, i actually dont really use the manual that much anymore unless i need to look up a torque spec etc

That was true when I had the Falcon.
But I was always angry with the manual 'cos until I severely injured the spine of
the book, it kept refusing to stay open on the table without my hands on it.
I liked the idea of the running between the bonnet and the manual without having to hold it
