I have everything from 1986 through December 2005, and select issues from 2008+ (all the issues in between are just web-based articles), and the whole lot is 6.7 GB.

Definitely possible. I have stuff at work that does it. Its worth a try maybe. Either way I'd love a copy of them for myself too. What if I sent you some dvd's and a treat or two for your time.

Swap them on USB thumb drives, they are cheap now and easier to deal with. Reuseable too.

Hi Guys,
I too managed to get to about 1996.. I was looking for some reviews and info on the Tamiya TA-03 (from the late 90s). Can anyone shoot me over the issues with any reviews on the TA-03?
Thanks

I have a terabyte of online storage and the ability to upload two gigs at a time. I don't know if that will help anything. Just throwing it out there.

Articles on the TA03? Doesn't really ring a bell. Except for at least one an issue for about 3 years

Legit, it seems they ran something almost every month. There were reviews on at least five basic variations (FRP chassis, front and mid motor tub chassis, in both long and short wheelbase), a couple works cars, and a bunch of project cars with tons of hop-ups, and one really cool twin-motor project. By the time it got to be Car Of The Year, the COTY article ended up being one picture spanning two pages, and then a half a page of text. Nothing really left to say about it by that point.

Yeah, that's the frustrating thing mike, I started at the beginning and worked upwards. By the time I'd got to about 1996 they were gone!! Hope someone can help

Is there any update on this fellow '10Talkers? I'm still looking for those late 90's issues if anyone can help me?
Edit, I bit the bullet and bought a second subscription.. Looks like the links are the same, but just have an 'A' in the URL now?
