Gentlemen: Since first purchasing my 1993 S4 in 1998, I have been
collecting UrS4 and
S6 magazine articles. I have spent part of the Christmas break
organizing them. Turns out I have over 60 20VT articles covering the S1,
S2, 200 20V, RS2, S4 and S6. I also
have 12 related articles (Audi 100, A6, S6 4.2, etc.) and 18-related
brouchures. Most
of these are hard copies which I am in the process of converting to
pdf's for an upcoming
CD release. Some of them are only photocopies (not the actual magazine)
or only pdf's
(no magazine). Being obsessed, I "need" the real item for my
collection. This is where I
hope some of you may come in. I am looking for the actual magazines for
the following:
Volkswagen Audi Car Nov. 1991 - Audi Coupe S2
Motor Trend - April 1992 - "Pleasure in a Plain Wrapper" (I have a great
pdf of this)
Fast Lane - July 1992 - "Storm Troopers" Audi S4 vs BMW 535i and Merc
300E-24
Autocar & Motor September 9, 1992 - "Audi 100 S4 Saloon"
Rallye Racing (German) - June 1994 - Test & Technik: "Platz da" SMS S4
vs RS2
Performance Car - August 1994 - "Jump!" (RS2)
AutoWeek - January 30, 1995 - Denise McCluggage reflects on an S6
Volkswagen Audi Car - January 1995 - Audi Coupe S2
Turbo & Hi-Performance - January 1996 - About Scott Lampkin's 400+ HP S4
AutoWeek - 1997 Buyers Guide - About the S6
Audi Driver - April 2001 - testing a 500 hp 20vt engine built for an UrQ
I have "mined" EWA and a good German source for magazines but I am
still looking. For some of the above, I only have B&W photocopies, some
colour photocopies and some, only a pdf file. While I would like to
buy/barter for the actual magazines, I will also gratefully accept (for
future considerations) colour photocopies, or colour pdf's if I don't
already have these.
The intent is to get all of these, pdf them, and link them to either the
Excel workbook that I am using now and/or to a WORD/html doc and then
produce the resulting CD (with many S4 related videos) for sale to
interested listers for a modest amount.
Your assistance will be rewarded.
