Jackie Stewart's owner driver book

the long version

Jackie Stewart, three-time world driving champion, tells how to drive well, how to buy a good car and how to keep it in tip-top mechanical condition. The reader is not asked to own a comprehensive tool kit, nor is he expected to know anything about cars. He can learn here everything he needs to know about the basics of maintenance, upkeep, and servicing. If a job is beyond the resources of the ordinary owner driver with limited equipment and experience, the book says so. The rewards are varied and generous. You will save a lot of money doing-it-yourself. You will be sure the work is done thoroughly. And you will experience the pleasure of making an adjustment or repair beyond the ability of many thousands of other motorists. Finally, a car in perfect mechanical tune will run more economically, give you more miles per gallon of gas, and be worth more when the time comes to trade it in.
