With fuel costs and parking charges forever rising, it's no wonder
consumers are turning towards cheaper forms of travel. Enter the
twist-and-go scooter! Cheap to run, fun to ride, and ideal for
those little 'pop to the shop' trips, and also for the 16-year-old
getting to school. Unfortunately, there is a downside - the cost of
servicing and maintaining your machine. It costs a garage the same
to service your scooter as it does a 1000cc motorcycle, because
it's charged on the time taken, plus the parts required. Here's
where this invaluable book can help, by showing you how to do basic
servicing and maintenance. Not only will you have the satisfaction
of doing otherwise-expensive jobs yourself, you will also have
learnt something along the way - and recouped the cost of this book
(and a bit more besides) with your first oil change.
Haynes manuals are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer,
yet are complete enough to be used by professional mechanics. Since
1960 Haynes has produced manuals written from hands-on experience
based on a vehicle teardown with hundreds of photos and
illustrations, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair
information.
From famed automotive journalist Jason Torchinsky comes a witty
insider's guide to self-driving cars, the automated future, and the
road ahead. Self-driving cars sound fantastical and futuristic and
yet they'll soon be on every street in America. Whether it's
Tesla's Autopilot, Google's Waymo, Mercedes's Distronic, or Uber's
modified Volvo, companies around the world are developing
autonomous cars. But why? And what will they mean for the auto
industry and humanity at large? In Robot, Take the Wheel,
Torchinsky, cofounder of The Autopian and former senior editor of
Jalopnik, star of Jason Drives, and producer of Jay Leno's Garage,
gives a colorful account of the development of autonomous vehicles
and considers their likely implications. He encourages us to think
of self-driving cars as an entirely new machine, something beyond
cars as we understand them today, and considers how humans will get
along with these robots that will take over our cars' jobs, what
they will look like, what sorts of jobs they may do, what we can
expect of them, how they should act, ethically, how we can have fun
with them, and how we can make sure there's still a place for those
of us who love to drive, especially with a manual transmission.
This vibrant volume brimming with insider knowledge, humor, and
original artwork pushes us to reconsider our understanding of cars,
raises fascinating ethical questions, and compels us to act now to
shape the automated future.

The book invites the reader, both Volvo fans and those with a more
general interest in motoring – on board the company’s landmark
cars. Volvo Model by Model brings Volvo to life with the feel of
the cars from behind the wheel, from the side-valve ÖV4 to the
electric C40, with legends like the 240, the XC90 and the 850 in
between. Volvo’s marketing strategies from safety to sporty and
back again are examined, with thoughts from contemporary road
tests. So buckle up your Volvo-patented three-point safety belt,
and prepare for the ride. In the 2020s Volvo is undergoing a
resurgence, gaining mainstream desirability with record sales for
six consecutive years. There is also huge interest in wider
Scandinavian culture and design. Volvo Model by Model is a new look
at the cars and cultural impact of Volvo. Always daring to be
different, no other car manufacturer encapsulates its home nation
so completely, accounting for one third of the Swedish dream Villa,
Volvo, Vovve. Volvo started in 1927 but the open-topped ÖV4
didn’t sell well in the harsh Swedish climate. This was a rare
misstep, although there have some challenging aesthetics on the way
like the 760. Volvo survived a failed marriage with Ford, which
still produced one of the company’s all-time best sellers. Volvo
now has another home, China. Parent company Geely enables Volvo to
freely express its Scandinavian style, and today’s slick Swedes
were voted the best-designed range of cars by British motorists.
Concept Recharge points the way to an electric future.

Ferrari means red. It means racing. Excellence, luxury, and
performance. Less well-known is the man behind the brand. For
nearly seventy years, Enzo Ferrari dominated a motor-sports empire
that defined the world of high-performance cars. Next to the Pope,
Ferrari was the most revered man in Italy. But was he the benign
padrone portrayed by an adoring world press at the time, or was he
a ruthless despot, who drove his staff to the edge of madness, and
his racing drivers even further? Brock Yates's definitive biography
penetrated Ferrari's elaborately constructed veneer and uncovered
the truth behind Ferrari's bizarre relationships, his work with
Mussolini's fascists, and his fanatical obsession with speed. "A
fascinating and provocative book" The Observer.
Sandwiched between NASCAR's highly-publicized Daytona 500 auto race
and college students' Daytona Beach Spring Break is Daytona Bike
Week. For ten days in March, Daytona Beach becomes the temporary
headquarters for around 500,000 motorcyclists and a motorized
carnival, the largest annual party in the Daytona area. This
scrapbook has over 400 full-color photographs of exceptional bikes
and their devoted owners, body art and leather gear, and snapshots
of bike races, crazy contests, and classic moments in hangouts like
Dirty Harry's, the Boot Hill Saloon, and Bike Week's famous beer
tents.

Although the 1/2-ton American pickup truck was still purchased as a
basic utility vehicle during the '60s, more and more, consumers
were looking for stylish, comfortable, good handling, and good
performing trucks.The important role played in American life by the
lightweight, high-production pickup truck is often overshadowed by
their innate ruggedness, reliability and utilitarian nature. Yet,
as the quickly-changing decade evolved, so did the pickup truck,
and the manufacturers' interpretation of them. Continueing its
trend from the 1950s, a trend towards greater style, comfort and
optional equipment, the pickup truck would less and less assume the
lines and styling of its flashy, sibling car versions, and instead
evolve an identity all of its own.
For nearly thirty years, John Haining (under the pen name
'Countryman's Steam') contributed a vast range of designs and
constructional articles to the pages of Model Engineer magazine.
These covered all types and sizes of engine:- steam traction
engines for the road and field and standing engines, and the way
they worked with ploughs, cider mills, elevators and threshing
machines. The articles were always popular with those seeking steam
experiences away from the railways, and as a result the author
built up an authoritative reputation for the extent of his
knowledge in this area. As a technical consultant to Model
Engineer, the author built up an enviable reputation for the extent
of his knowledge and the immense trouble he took to reply fully and
clearly to readers' queries and problems. This book was originally
written in 1982 to expound on some of the problems encountered by
engine owners, both in full size and in small scale. It places
particular emphasis on design and construction, and the care of
steel boilers, with formulae and data used by the top firms. A new
and enlarged edition was extended to cover more fully the design,
construction and care of steel boilers in general, with formulae
and data used by firms of repute. An extra chapter was included
covering the author's designs of three vertical boilers, the
Sentinel, the Caradoc and a 3 inch scale version.
