I am trying to get a PDF of the page in the How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive by John Muir that shows the guy trying to sleep in a four-poster bed, with an exploded engine diagram in a balloon above his head.

I don't have the book and wondered if someone could send me a PDF of that page.

Sorry,
I don't have the book...
but it has been re-printed and updated many times...

so that drawing You want may have been in only one version??
that's only a wild guess or an early version...

someone had the whole book on PDF here a few months ago

but as I said it may NOT have been in that edition..

best of luck

Thanks for the image!!

I am in the US and an old friend in Canada is busy taking apart a 1970s Honda 750 motorcycle to use as a parts bike. He sent a picture of all the parts disassembled on the floor and I thought of this picture again.

It is applies to a lot of situations, such as complex projects of any kind.

Thanks also for the artist's web site. He has a poster and a T-shirt of this drawing too.

When I download the image as a .gif on my Mac, the background is dark so the image is messed up. I was able to copy paste it into PowerPoint and save it as a PDF.

Would it be possible to post this as a PDF at a bit higher resolution?

I know this is completely extraneous to your site, but I have a BMW motorcycle that has an engine design quite similar to the VW.

I worked on a VW engine in the late 1960s in my dad's car and got some of my first auto mechanic lessons from it.
