John Haynes, creator of the iconic Haynes Manual and founder of the Haynes International Motor Museum, has died. He was 80 years old. Sad news indeed. Haynes was almost single-handedly responsible for inspiring generations of home mechanics. His detailed books gave you step-by-step instructions to dismantle and rebuild practically your entire car. The difficulty of performing individual tasks was represented by a spanner rating, helpfully. He was born in Sri Lanka, where his father owned a tea plantation, and it was upon this plantation where John"s love of cars first dawned; he would often ride around with his father in their Morris 8 saloon.
