Tell ya what... I can send you a cashiers check drawn on a Nigerian bank for $20,000 dollars. You can cash it, send me the book and then transfer the remaining funds to my bank in the Cayman Islands... and keep $1000 for facilitating the transaction. ;D ;D ;D But only because I trust you! ;) ;) Title: Re: THE BOOK countdown... who else is getting worked up?

OK, Deano HAS seen it - sorta... When I came across for Classic, I had a CD with the rough chapter page layouts, which he scanned through... ;) It is scheduled for October/November - or just in time for Christmas presents! Should be in the USA at the same time via Motorbooks. Gwynn, my ex, will be selling signed copies through her VW Collectibles mail order deal, if anyone cares about an illegible scribble! VW Collectibles (http://www.vwcollectibles.com) I'm pretty happy with the way it's turned out – some of the stories you will recall from the Lounge, but most you won't have heard of – and some may even get people on trouble! ;D As for photos, almost 300 and the majority are new and unseen. Thanks for your interest – it's been a long haul and it's down to your enthusiasm that i managed to persuade the publisher to go ahead. Give yourselves a pat on the back! :) Title: Re: THE BOOK countdown... who else is getting worked up? Shout out Post by: louisb on June 25, 2008, 20:42:11 pm OK, Deano HAS seen it - sorta...
