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

Anyone else still have theirs?

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. frown

It's on a bookshelf somewhere.

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

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 frown

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

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.

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.

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?
