Millenium Falcon - Haynes Manual

Lets be serious here, not many females would know what an Haynes Manual is anyway.
I'm pretty confident a high percentage of males don't know either.

I've googled it and I'm still none-the-wiser! Are they serious or tongue in cheek humour manual type things?

Basically it's a series of mechanical "bibles" - of great use when back in the day, cars weren't made of 5 trillion parts and several computers. All those blokes you used to see fixing their cortina on the driveway of a weekend would have one nearby. :p

Serious. They are quite comprehensive with lots of cutaway diagrams and photos. Very good value for what you get. I've got a few in my book collection.

Obviously the ones linked to are tongue in cheek but back in the 70s/80s (and before for older drivers) every time I bought a car I was straight up an accessory shop buying a Haynes Manual.
Cars were much simpler to fix back then.
 
Mmmm - two independent symbols of manhood rolled up into a single delicay! Whats not to like. This would be really handy as the millenium falcon was always falling apart iirc.
