Title: BMW Owners News Magazines
Post by: JBwell on February 12, 2016, 08:28:40 AM

Just in case someone didnt see my listing on the trading post:  I have 22 old issues of BMW Owners News magazines.  Mostly 1990 and 91, a few from the late 80s.  22 in all.  I hate to throw them away if someone would like them.  I only want the cost of the shipping .  Please let me know if there is any interest.  Thanks - JON

Hope my payment comprised of aluminum cans and Nigerian bank stock is acceptable.

I don't want to hear about those things getting used one page at a time like an old Sears Roebuck catalog.     ;D

The glossy, enameled pages are not near absorbent enough. Back in the day, the now defunct Motorcycle News Weekly tabloid -printed on good ol' newsprint stock- was always kept in a corner of my old Chevy pickup on race weekends.

After scanningt the valuable Airhead tech articles by Matt Parkhouse and a very few others, plus the old adverts, I'll likely ditch the remains.
