I had "On four wheels" came out weekly back in the 70's, and had all 160+ copy's when my dad used to take me to work on a Saturday morning he bought this to keep me quite, and my mum wondered why I was obsessed with cars, took them all to the dump a couple of years ago

The thing that got me into it was Hot Rod and Custom,my cousin Alan had a load of copys he gave to me when he was bored with them.

I was supposed to be buying them From Dave a few years ago who still has the full set

Have you still got them Dave?

Yeah but I think I will put them on Ebay so Duncan can bid £2K for them.

As daft as it sounds it May be worth a try on Ebay,Its a free listing weekend so no insertion fee if you put them at a high price.

I can pay £50 for them plus postage,but you did say you would not post them which makes things complicated.

My wife took partial retirement so she is home most afternoons now. A courier might be able to pick them up. We also have a new post office locally. They will take them if I split then into two parcels. So it is possible now.
But I will take your advice about ebay this weekend. Thanks.

The Ranger, I love it.

I used to have Car Craft and Hot Rod sent over back in the sixties, I had a huge throw out some years ago though...always remembered the Mister Norm ads...

[quote="TyreFryer"]
Only yesterday I remembered those card sheets that you could buy with scenes printed on them and transfers you rubbed down, what where they called?
[?/quote] I remember those, Martin. :-) Jiggered if I can remember what they were called though. :-S

Speed and Power was my mag of choice in the early 70's, everything wheels wings and water

loads of drag racing articles...kind of what got me started

Found this today, unlike most of the stuff I've unearthed, I won't be parting with it....

That's a great find

Don't blame you for holding on to that.
