Slightly OT: Old GP Posters

Where to buy 1960s Grand Prix posters

A GPL fan asked where to buy 1960s-style Grand Prix posters. Suggestions included search engines, eBay, and adverts in MotorSport magazine, while others mentioned printing pictures themselves. Much of the thread turned into Dutch-language chat about a GPL LAN event in Veenendaal and trips to the Nürburgring.

I've just moved into a new house and I want to get a poster or two similar to the 60s GP posters. Does anyone know where I can buy these? I know this is ever so slightly OT, but if anyone should know, it's one of us GPL freaks :) -Nick

I don't mean to be a smart ass, but, if you go to your favorite search engine, you will find hundreds of on line stores that will have what you're looking for. www.google.com for one. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ktppo$22df$[email hidden]...

Alastair I realise it's a sort of obvious answer, but I haven't been able to find what I'm after. BTW, I'd never used google before but I gave it a try and managed to find one site with some possibilities. I'm no net-newbie so I also get annoyed at questions which could easily be answered with a little effort on the part of the asker, but as I said I hadn't been successful so far. Maybe I should have made that clear initially. As it happens, you have helped me Alastair, so thanks for that. Perhaps it's time to ditch altavista and give google more of a try. -Nick Alastair Ingram <[email hidden]> wrote:

Nick, like I said, I didn't want to come off like a jerk. I went to google and came up with quite a few places where you could find posters. So , I thought I'd tell you about it. Google is a good search engine as is www.dogpile.com and www.metacrawler.com. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Hallo Andre, Ik weet het niet zeker, maar heb ik afgelopen zaterdag met jou gesproken op het GPL-LAN toernooi in Veenendaal? Jij was, net als ik, ook toeschouwer.....en konden alleen maar toekijken.... :-( Ik hoor het wel... Marcel
Laurens de Jong 17 Jul 2000 10:50 UTC#254852
Hmm, da's toevallig, ik wou ook net een bericht naar Andre Warringa sturen, maar kon z'n e-mail adres niet vinden. Wanneer ga je nu (weer) naar de 'Ring, Andre? M'n auto kan het eigenlijk niet meer aan, maar ik zou wat graag zondag (de 23e) weer gaan. Daarna ga ik zeker OF 4/5 augustus OF 13 augustus. >Ik hoor het wel...

Ha Laurens, Ik heb op het GPL Lan gebeuren met Jan Hovius, mijn teammate in de IGPLC league, afgesproken dat we binnenkort weer naar de Ring zullen gaan. Een vriend van me wil ook absoluut mee, maar die is nu met vakantie. Zodra ie weer terug is (over 2 weken) zullen we ff een datum afspreken. Ik heb inmiddels (eindelijk) ook mijn autootje binnen dus wat mij betreft gaan we binnenkort! Ik mail je wel ff als we wat datums hebben geprikt. PS 5 aug zou ik niet gaan, dan is de Marlboro Masters op Zandvoort... Groetjes, Andre

Hallo Andre, Inderdaad jammer dat ik er niet bij was, ik had alle races wel willen zien.... Het zal in ieder geval spannender geweest zijn dan de F1 race op de A1 op de TV. Maar ja, 1 keer heen en weer rijden van Capelle naar Veenendaal in dat noodweer vindt ik wel genoeg.... ;-) Ik heb zaterdag in iedergeval wel even goed opgelet, en ik heb mijn eigen tijd op Monza van 1:35.6 al teruggebracht naar een 1:31.02.... er zit progressie in..... :-) en gistereren ook even een race op VROC gereden, 4e geworden van de 7. Marcel

Nick, if you can grab a copy of the monthly MotorSport magazine, or even Classic & Sportscar, you will often find adverts for posters somewhere in the "for sale" area. Also, try eBay or similar; bought a terrific period poster of Gurney in the Eagle from an eBay source. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ktppo$22df$[email hidden]... > > I've just moved into a new house and I want to get a poster or two > similar to the 60s GP posters. > > Does anyone know where I can buy these? > > I know this is ever so slightly OT, but if anyone should know, > it's one of us GPL freaks :) > > -Nick

Good luck finding anyting in Australia, You could join the ASRG (Australian Sim Racing Group) egroups email list www.asr.org and ask there.... With the exchange rate in Aust buying overseas turns out very expensive, I got a Dan Gurney poster US$70 by the time it arrived in Aust it was just under $200 Aus!!

The quality of a printed downloaded image is nowhere near that of a collectors-edition poster press-printed on quality stock. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Mon, 17 Jul 2000 04:11:22 GMT, "Alastair Ingram" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >I don't mean to be a smart ass, but, if you go to your favorite search > >engine, you will find hundreds of on line stores that will have what you're > >looking for. www.google.com for one. > > Or simply buy a decent color printer :) My room is decorated with > printed pics of Clark, Hill, Lotus and Ferrari's :) > > Andre > > > > ><[email hidden]> wrote in message > >news:8ktppo$22df$[email hidden]... > >> > >> I've just moved into a new house and I want to get a poster or two > >> similar to the 60s GP posters. > >> > >> Does anyone know where I can buy these? > >> > >> I know this is ever so slightly OT, but if anyone should know, > >> it's one of us GPL freaks :) > >> > >> -Nick > > > > >

Are the Dutch supposed to be cheap, Andre? I thought that was a trait attributed to the Scottish.....and George Costanza, of course! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Mon, 17 Jul 2000 23:28:59 +1000, "Bruce Kennewell" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >The quality of a printed downloaded image is nowhere near that of a > >collectors-edition poster press-printed on quality stock. > > Ofcourse, but it's cheaper (I'm Dutch, remember :) > > Andre
