Re: GTR Articles Thread
Just wanted to say thanks to Le Man and Archangel for their excellent contributions.
Even as I have tried so hard to collect magazines for my physical library, I continue to see things in here I've not come across before. In a way that is good, but it also means I have more searching (and buying) to do. >8^) ER |

Re: GTR Articles Thread
Erik: I wish you well on your searches. I purchased a lot of these when the magazines were first published.
Some more: I wasn't sure whether this was more appropriate in the GTR thread or Daan's thread. But you'll appreciate the middle photo on the second page. Recognize the color scheme? Click here for larger image of that particular photo. |

Re: GTR Articles Thread
OMG!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!! Archangel for President!!!!! I'm so happy to finally have this, but what's funny is that it came from a scan out of a June 1996 issue of AutoWeek Magazine of all places. I probably have that exact issue buried in a box in the garage from when a friend was tossing out his magazine collection and I saved them. I don't think I have looked at them in more than six years, but one of the few McLaren related items that I've been constantly searching for was effectively right under my nose all this time. I can't believe it. >8^) ER Last edited by Peloton25; 07-07-2008 at 11:15 PM. |

Re: GTR Articles Thread
It looks like I will have to keep digging and find the rest of the two articles. The LM is from March 1996 and the holy grail is from June 17, 1996.

You better get some money together then, lots of it. A few years back I used to spend lots of money on magazines, only to keep a few, or tear out the interesting bits. Glad I kept all the Mac F1 bits. Lots more to come. |

Many thanks Archangel GTR for your scans, Lots of new articles I have not seen before. Ace pic of the black LM. Confirmation at last. How long have you been sitting on that pic? No don,t answer, its bad enough Erik thinking he has a copy tucked away in his garage. May I ask for a larger engine/workshop pic, many thanks in advance |

Re: GTR Articles Thread
Excellent James - thanks again!
Of course you had to rescan Racecar Engineering: June 1996 article right after I finished cropping the individual photos from the earlier set of scans. The race programs are cool - did you get the two British GT ones from Simon Lewis? = = = = = Here's my 1st contribution, though I do not take credit for the scans. This comes from Bimmer Magazine : May 2003 >8^) ER P.S.: I took the liberty of editing the first few posts and changing those scans to thumbnails since this thread seems to be in it for the long haul. |

Re: GTR Articles Thread
Yes, I did get the programs from Simon Lewis. He has been a great source for McLaren memorabilia. Unfortunately, I think all of us collectors have dried up his supplies.
I looked at my first post last night and thought about resizing as well. And this is actually your second contribution to the thread (post #7.) I should thank you, Martin, Greg and Carrera for contributing. I know I don't have every article ever published about the GTRs and most of the contributions have been unique to me.
