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 :)

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 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.

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.

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.

printed pics of Clark, Hill, Lotus and Ferrari's :)

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.

Yep, dat was ik :)
Jammer dat je er zondag niet was, de halve finale was ronduit
spectaculair! Tijdens de finale viel de stroom uit... Wilke won
uiteindelijk. Super om al die lui in het echie te ontmoeten...
Groetjes,
Andre

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

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.

He, goed, als je dit tempo volhoudt rijd je volgende week 1:26 rondjes
:)

Ofcourse, but it's cheaper (I'm Dutch, remember :)
Andre
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.

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

Are the Dutch supposed to be cheap, Andre?
I thought that was a trait attributed to the Scottish.....and George
Costanza, of course!
