You got it, Riekert.

Do you need my details again or do you still have them handy?

I'll need your postal addy again, please.

Fig: Descriptions added. :)

I'll update as and when new stock is available.

Hey Nic,

I love the way they have placed the Porsche and Volkswagen pages opposite each other in the one book !

NO DOUBT the VW's of the era were decidedly more handsome!

Mr. [very quiet] Bill,

Well, that book is from around '63. I'd imagine that connection was still fairly fresh in people's minds. I wonder how they'd place them nowadays...

As for which was more handsome, you know my priority list. ;)

:lol: I was just thinking about this book and you a few days ago. Hehe.

Sadly, no. I haven't forgotten though, so if it ever does turn up, or if I come across another one... :)
