PistonHeads: The Best Bits 2009

[LordGrover]

Just had a clear out and amongst the detritus uncovered was PistonHeads: The Best Bits 2009.

Anyone else still have theirs?

[StottyEvo]

That looks brilliant, I imagine its a cracking read!

[g3org3y]

I have one somewhere, not sure if it was the 2009 edition or a later one. I got a free copy as I contributed photos to the BMW Sunday Service article. My name was spelt incorrectly in the credits though.

It's on a bookshelf somewhere.

As I recall, I bought it at the AutoSport show which would have been Jan 2010.

[StottyEvo]

I've just read into the history of the book and what happened. It appears that everyone who bought one loved it and that it was a cracking read. Although not enough people bought one for them to continue publishing a book year by year which is a great shame

If PH still have any laying around I'll have one

I'd completely forgotten about that book. I've got a copy somewhere - got it for nothing as my contribution to a featured thread was in it.

But it wasn't in there as it was missed out of the final print edition.

[Funk]

Yep, found mine a while back. Not sure if I kept it though.

[ali_kat]

it's on the bookcase in bathroom

[valiant]

I have mine somewhere.

Bought it before I started contributing to PH, used to lurk for ages before I plucked up the courage...


Should be brought out as an annual thingy. A bit like the Beano for us old farts.

[ecsrobin]

I found my copy the other week.

[MagicalTrevor]

They have a new one coming out. Same physical size but all the content is A6 size with adverts around the edge

[Opel-GT]

I have one sat in the bookcase along side numerous Haynes manuals.

I've heard the pages take ages to open, too.

I used to have some magazines like that.

[Laurel Green]

Yep, still have mine. A great shame the interest was not there to further additional volumes.

Obviously car-related? Fiestas, Escorts....that kind of thing?

Still flick through it from time to time and was made up at the time to have contributed!
