Howdy. I found this web site with some funny translations from a Haynes Manual, British to English.
I know, this is the 4g forum (and against'em), but if you've ever worked on your own car from the Haynes Manual, one or two of these will have you rolling.

Haynes: Press and rotate to remove bulb...
Translation: "OK - thats the glass part off, now use some good pliers to dig out the base...
Haynes: Get an assistant...
Translation: Prepare to humiliate yourself in front of someone you know.
Haynes: Turning the engine will be easier with the spark pugs removed.
Translation: However, starting the engine afterwards will be much harder. Once that sinking pit of your stomach feeling has subsided, you can start to feel deeply ashamed as you gingerly refit the spark plugs.
(been there done that)
Haynes: Index
Translation: List of all the things in the book but the thing you want to do!
ROFL
Nice find man
