Found in a box.
This must be the oldest book I've got in my little library: Robinson der Jüngere, zur angenehmen und nützlichen Unterhaltung für Kinder, von J. H. Campe. It's nothing important or even valuable, it's only an old Children's book. But it's from 1792. Think about it. 1792! This book is 216 years old. 216 years, and the pages are all still pure white. Damn good paper they've used in those days. A few HiRes scans can be found on flickr.

Photo, found in today's Mail.
May 1992: Geesthacht, Heidbergring. My old Caterham Seven 1600 Sprint (Prisoner colours of course); then, Rolf Homann's Donkervoort; another Seven, a Lotus Europa and a Lotus Seven Series 4 at the back. Those were the days, us advertising agents splashing out loads of money on crap like this. Thank God times have changed. (Erm, it was fun actually. Not that I miss those times, but I do. A bit. Yes. Not that much though. Only a bit. Drool.). Many thanks to Rolf for sending this.

Whatever it is they're examining, it seems to be interesting.

While moving things from one room to another in my house, I came across this box. It was stuffed with old photographs, some of them a hundred years old. This website presents a selection of those images and I will add new ones whenever I feel like it.
