So, I was in Barnes & Noble the other day and drifted by the automotive
section.  Say, there's a Chilton's guide for the A4!

So scanning through it, I checked out the stuff about removing the
control arms and other crap to get at the front hub bearings.  Hmm, the
pix look maybe familiar...?

Getting home, I pull out my Haynes A4 book and whaddayaknow, the *same*
photos illustrate the procedure-- only *much* better quality.  (Does
anyone else keep their Haynes handy to the loo?)

It looks like Chilton just rips pix off Haynes and blows them up-- their
copies are a bit bigger, but very muddy: poor contrast and lousy resolution.

What a crock.

Now, what are you doing reading this, pal?  Get back to work.
