Car brochures and catalogues. Do you collect them?

[vkochar]

Used to collect these when a Kid, now I just keep all Magazines - ACI & TG . Never throw them away or sell them to Kabadi .. Maybe one day they will get me fortunes !!! LOL !!

BTW I am sure most of you would have noticed at AutoExpo, people come in Hoardes and collect handbags etc, catalogues, freebies !! Wonder what they do with these. THe only time I did this was at Mercedes Stall a few yrs back, Loved their Pack - I actually did buy a LIghter from them - It was better than Zippo ( MODS - SORRY FOR GOING OFF TOPIC )

My prized possessions include a 200-odd page hardback for Porsche Cayenne. A dream come true when I lay my hands on it. Got it at the official launch of the Cayenne in India.

Also, a 30-odd page brochure on "How an F1 car works". Got it delivered free from the Shell-Ferrari website. You can get some genuine Ferrari stickers and other web downloads home delivered free anywhere in the world, from time to time.

I have the F1 car book too. I also have a 68 page book on the Enzo which I got with the Autocar UK issue of that time. It has everything from how the Enzo was born to what it is today. It also has a chapter on Schumi's contribution into the making of the Enzo.

In addition I have recently got brochures on the new Range Rover, BMW 6 series and the new E92 BMW M3.

This brings back memories. I used to sit at home phoning up companies for brochures. My favourites were the Porsche brochures (circa 1988) they used to send a huge fold out brochure which doubled up as a poster. Other favourites included a Ferrari, Lamborghini brochure and a Panther Solo ( www.panthersolo.com ). I had a special Porsche 959 brochure and an F40 Brochure plus loads of auto mags featuring shootouts between these supercars.

I used to come back home from the motor show at the NEC with bags full of brochures.

Sadly they were taking up a lot of space and to be honest I had not looked at them for years. No one else wanted my little collection so they went to the rubbish dump. I guess I should have put some of them on ebay.

Its your lucky day brother. PM me your address. I'll arrange to courier the book.

Honestly speaking, I haven't looked at it for a couple of years now. And I wouldn't mind giving it to someone who has the passion for it and will take care of it.

I know I might regret it one day but!!
