What car book would you like published?

[minicity]

For me, a book of reprints (in colour) of all the Italian supercar tests for "Car" magazine in the 70s/80s.

I used to buy Car every month in this period (from when I was about 10 to 20 years old); for a long time I kept all the back issues but had to chuck them when storage space was short. I just kept the first issue I bought from about 1976 with a comparison between the Countach LP400, BB 4.4 and Porsche Turbo.

Is it feasible that such a book could be made? I'm sure it wouldn't just be me that would buy it.

Sounds like something Brooklands Books would do - although the mostly publish compilations of contemporary road tests/articles of separate marques/models. But an 'Italian Supercars of the '70s' edition - why not (if only to show that '70s supercars were a bit of a scam really - the relationship between the outrageous performance stats bandied about, and reality was a bit loose at best in those days... )?

I would like to see old car magazines put on a searchable DVD or even website, takes even less space and you can quickly find what your looking for with a search function.

Its probably just my age, but I do think they had rather more style than current equivalents. Much prefer the look of a 308GTB compared to a 430.

I would like to see a coffee table book published that shows off my extensive collection of Fast cars and automotive exotica.

Must get started on that collection soon.

A blimmin Hays Guide to the MK11 MR2 would be handy!

I'd buy it.
