All we need now is the articles translating.
But saying that some very good technicaly interesting pictures if you have never seen a GTR unclothed.
Well done.

A friend from Belgium sent me these scans written in Dutch, though he was not certain of the publication they appeared in.

It's nice to see some additional images of a livery that had a rather short stay on #05R.

Archangel for President!!!!! :grinyes:

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. :redface:

Just wanted to say thanks to Le Man and Archangel for their excellent contributions. :thumbsup:

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^)

Thanks Erik,:smile:

You better get some money together then, lots of it. :tongue: 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.

Le Man

07-08-2008, 02:13 PM

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?

Many thanks Archangel :icesangelGTR for your scans, Lots of new articles I have not seen before.

Ace pic of the black LM. :thumbsup: 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.:nutkick:

May I ask for a larger engine/workshop pic, many thanks in advance :smile:

To be honest, I've been sitting on that article since the day I bought it back in June of 1996. I read it once and put it away. Yes.. I know.. I deserve one of these: :twak:

It's been sitting in my basement for about that long. I'm just now getting to a lot of the articles/magazines.

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. :crying:

I looked at my first post last night and thought about resizing as well. :p

And this is actually your second contribution to the thread (post #7.) :wink:

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.

murraydeschot sent me these scans he pulled from a Press Release folder he has. The images were new to me, and I figured that would most likely be true for the rest of the viewers here as well. While not truly an article, this seemed like the most appropriate place to stick these rather than creating an entirely new thread.

The text is pretty 'corporate'. Detailing BMW's Sporting "Greatness", Tech Specs of The F1GTR and Driver Profiles including(!) their home addresses!!! I'd post it to you, but it'd take half the day to scan the stuff. PM me with your email address if you REALLY want it, as I don't think sharing drivers' personal addresses in a Public Forum is entirely suitable protocol.

Erk, by the way, I posted you 5 or 6 scans from the Gulf Racing Press Kit, did you get it, as it took about 15 minutes(!) to clear from my Gmail yesterday a.m.?

No probs. As I mentioned, hardly edge-of-the-seat stuff. I also have the Gulf Racing Press Kit, but, like the BMW one, no great shakes to anyone deeply-entrenched in F1 history and knowledge.

It seems, all things connected to JJ is mystery. Some reason. Well maybe someday some Finish writer does a "life story" of JJ, then we hopely know that. :cool:
