Translated Comments on the German Version of the Repair and Service Booklet

Hannes Kölblinger from Austria writes:
Dear Daniel
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart to your great book! I am really glad that I have it - it is very informative, professional, entertaining and easy to understand - in short, it is simply sensational and a great help!
It's clear from every line that you like TA! We obviously have something in common - I'm also taken with the car: I often sit in my garage, just staring at this French masterpiece and can't believe my luck. The shape of the front wings alone is pure art.
So far, your book has been an important source of moral support for me - as I realise that it's not all that bad and that there is a solution for everything. (I also really want to cut a grease nipple into the steering gear) In spring or summer I want to get to work and make it suitable for everyday use - it should become a ‘daily driver’.
Today I received a very pleasant email from you - you are also offering 2025 courses for the TA. I have 1000 and one questions and would love to book a 3 day course with you! ...


Aleksander Grah, Alkmaar, writes:
"For me, your book is the best I have ever read on this subject. It is not only a great working manual based on a lifetime of experience - it is also very lovingly, cleverly and sympathetically written and I read it not only to learn but occasionally just to enjoy it. Many Traction enthusiasts probably don't know at all how much work has gone into it and how generously you share your knowledge with everyone.

Franz Kreiter writes:
The CITROEN Traction Avant repair book for beginners and advanced mechanics has not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. It not only deals with all aspects of the TA, but it also gives an insight into the function and the and working methods in the field of motor vehicle technology. The layout and presentation and the quality of the book are also excellent. I can therefore only recommend the purchase of this book.
