Mundane News

[classic33]

I'm off to have a tea date with a stack of race reports, a scanner and printer.

I cannot close the arch lever file anymore.

How'd the date go, or aren't you the sort that would say?

 

[Reynard]

I used to subscribe to Autosport in the late 1990's and early 2000's and never threw an issue out - there used to be three very large stacks of back issues in my spare bedroom until I saw sense and finally put them into the recycling over a number of weeks.

Multiply that by at least a factor of five... Then throw in the entire print runs of both Prix Editions and F1 News. Not to mention the books.

I stopped buying Autosport about 8 years ago and now only snag a copy if there's something in there that interests me or I need to keep myself occupied on a train journey.

Date went fine. I have scanned and printed some FF1600 and FF2000 race reports that were missing from my archive.

 

[classic33]

I have pulled a muscle in my bottom.

Too much sitting down?

 

[Reynard]

I should clarify, that back in the day, nearly *all* my pocket money went on motor racing magazines and books. A goodly proportion of my student grant as well...

 

[Reynard]

Too much sitting down?

Don't ask me how. All I know is that it hurts.

Do you have a copy of the early years of the F1 era?

Think it covered the first forty years.

Can't say, not without unpacking a LOT of boxes. If not, I'd probably have something similar knocking around.

Most of my F1 stuff is yearbooks, driver biographies and technical volumes, turbo era and into the mid 90s as that's what interests me. I do have some earlier and later bits.

Bedtime. Sleepy Reynard.

One of the later cars in it, from memory

I just wish I'd picked up a copy of "Time and Two Seats" by Janos Wimpffen when it was released - expensive then, but now £££

I really think that the anoraks should be put away now as it may be putting off the 'normal' people.

Goodnight all.
