This is my site! This was a pleasant surprise to find my own site on HN this morning! I wondered why it was getting a few more FB likes than usual today. I'm happy to answer any questions. I finished this redesign last week so any feedback is welcome. The main task was to recreate labels and annotations on the illustrations in SVG format, and to reformat the articles in a way that flows nicely and is responsive, but…

I would love to buy the book, but I see it's available for iOS devices only. Any chance you could make it available on other devices (e.g., Kindle, or just PDF)?

It's not something I've thought about. No-one's ever asked before. I'd certainly take submissions of service / workshop manuals but this area of the site is still very much in progress.

I would like to provide some articles on Citroën's special suspension, brakes and steering. And I mean Citroëns from back when they were Citroëns.

Congratulations. Could you share some analytics reports? I have curiosity on this content websites. When it's started to really grow?

You'll find a graph of growth at the page above from 2013. It basically continued with linear growth at exactly the same rate from the day i launched it.

Fantastic! I'd be delighted to have them - drop me an email to me@alexmuir.com and we'll have a chat.
