Cool - I have never seen the first one but it looks to be a good one.

The second one I have a copy of and of course have read many times, but I was still hoping that someone would scan it.

In the first article, they have a 3/4 shot of a GT and call it a GTR, anyone have higher res?

I saw that too, but I have never seen that shot of the F1 GT or any like it before.

It's a shame there are so few good photos of this car.

Not the same shots, but a couple of good ones...

I really liked that shot of the F1 and F50 from the first article, and even though the photographer shot it with a red filter overpowering most of the color, I still thought it would make a great wallpaper candidate. I spent about an hour pasting the two pages together and filling in the line that was missing. I also cleaned up some of the scanning fragments and took out the captions. In the end, I think it makes for a really nice photo of two spectacular cars rarely seen together.

thats bloody awesome well done and thanks Peloton
-Mike:aus:

jeepers thats good. Well done man. All we need now is a really nice 001R wallpaper...... ;) :p

I just knew that subject would come up in response to this. :D

I'll get back to fighting with it soon - it's really not easy given that the color tones from the left and right pages are so far off. Then you have to adjust for the curve of the page over the scanner where it runs into the seam as well as the line of missing info. I want it done just as much as everyone else, but I won't release the final product till I'm completely satisfied with it. Since some may want to print it, what would be the point...?

Hey Peloton, your picture is "Picture of the Day" at www.Fast-autos.net

Looks like you're famous. LOL

Neato - I'll be sure to tell Drew "Thanks!" next time I bother him. :)

Looks like I missed it as I assume this has nothing to do with the 996 that is up there now. "I can make you famous," Billy The Kid

It was just that same photo I pasted together that is linked above. Also, the "Drew" I was referring to is the Drew that runs Fast-Autos.net, not you. ;) Sorry if that was confusing. :biggrin:
