As mentioned in the old site, I forgot to show these two books in the book thread. Both very nice gifts from a former student! I will begin posting my books here...

Excellent, I have that AM book and I am sure the Lambo read is also a good one.

The Lambo book coincided with 40th anniversary of Lamborghini and follows UK importer history. A good read. I have recently finished Gautam Sen's Lamborghini At the Cutting Edge of Design. Not cheap at 200 GBP and 780 pages that took me two weeks to get through. Every one of Lambo cars including prototypes and concepts are covered. Julio would enjoy the fact that design is what these two volumes major in. Even LP500 Countach Prototype remake has been included before book went to press in November last year.

Thanks, Ian, I know I would love that book! But, unfortunately, that’s too much money for me to spend on books at this time. But I’ll keep an eye on future deals!

I’m ecstatic! Late last night, a seller at eBay, listed many Automobile Quarterly volumes for sale, including all of the ones that I was missing! Even though their price was already attractive, I took a chance and made an offer for all four of them and, this morning I received a message telling me that he had accepted it! These are the volumes that I was missing, and that soon will be on their way to Texas, and then home to Mexico: Volume 48 Volume 49 Volume 50 Volume 51 There’s only one last number missing from my collection, Volume 52, Number 1. This seller has it, but it’s far too expensive, so I’ll keep waiting for the moment to get it at a better price! I have lots of patience!

That is what I call a result, it's always enjoyable when you get something you've wanted at a good price. Like you Julio I am very patient.

Can’t hardly wait for them to get home. Unfortunately, that might take some time…But, I’m a patient man!

These two arrived a little while ago: These are the first books that I buy because of a thread from this group. I thumbed through the Bentley book and it looks superb! The one about Jaguar will remain wrapped until I’m done browsing the Bentley book but, judging by its thickness and cover, I feel that it will be fabulous!
