CAR magazine missing mags 569-570.

[neilboyd]

A good friend of mine (with OCD tendencies it seems) is distraught to discover that he has misplaced a couple of back issues of CAR magazine. To compound his misery, the publisher has run out of these issues also.

So.......

Does anyone have a spare copy of:
569 - Dec 2009
570 - Jan 2010

P&P and/or reasonable costs await.

Thanks
Neil

I might have these issues. I can`t say if they are in `collector` condition though....

I`ll have a look tonight.

Thanks.

"A friend, eh!?

Neil,
Sorry, I didn`t get time to look last night due to vomiting children.

I`ll have a look over the weekend.

[k-ink]

In that case £50 each

Which one is your friend?

[neilboyd]

I just knew I'd be tarred with the same brush when I posted this.....

What can I say? I occasionally buy CAR but, to me, a magazine is a fleeting thing to enjoy then discard (ie recycle). But, I guess, you only have my word for that.... ;-)

Anyway, in return for taking such abuse, does anyone have the mags in question?
(For less than £50)

Thanks
Neil

Ps (to Deerfoot)
Just spotted your vom post. Hopefully your wee one is better tonight.
No worries if you don't have the mags - I appreciate your efforts.

Thanks again (everyone).
Neil

Probably a stupid question but have you tried contacting CAR directly? They offer a service for back issues:

Thanks Bravo.
I checked eBay before posting, so thanks for the spot.
US price is scary! And that's before postage.

Bid placed on UK mag. Really need to introduce my mate to eBay / t'internet at some point.

Having said that, I'll honour offer to anyone who has already responded to the forum post.

Thanks.

Evidently, my wife shares your opinion! The pile of back issues I thought was in the back of my wardrobe has gone.

Sorry.

He may then realise he doesn't need to hoard magazines!

Sorry.

We're still talking about CAR, yes?

;-)

Joking aside, thanks for trying.

Update!

Just found issue 570 under my bedside cabinet!

It`s a bit dusty and some of the pages have curled up at the corner but it`s his if he wants it.

Sounds painful, but how did they get there in the first place?

Magic.
Let me know what you think it's worth and I'll arrange a Paypal payment.
Probably best to contact me directly.

Thanks everyone.
Neil.
