Loix/Laumanns Calendars

silver bullet · 1 Feb 2006, 13:27 (Ref:1513491)

Can anybody tell me where to get my hands on a 2006 Jonny Loix calendar. I am looking at a bare patch on my wall that for the past 14 years has been covered by either an Eddie Laumanns or Jonny Loix calendar, but this year I can't seem to find one.

chunder · 1 Feb 2006, 18:19 (Ref:1513673)

bliney there is a name from the past, has anyone got any of the Laumanns yearbooks! Can you remember them!

I ahve two and they must be worth a few bob now i wouldve thought! Would love to get a few more but can you imagine how much they would go for on ebay!

Had a bid war with some bloke the otehr night for some old bike mag i wanted, the silly bugger ended up paying nearly a tenner for a ten year old mag!!

I got all yearbooks, some even twice, just to be sure. As I started following Rallycross shortly after the last yearbook got out, I bought all of them second hand. Unless you have the first two or the very last one, they aren't worth that much. From the others the sentimental value is higher than the actual value, people pay for it. I paid far more for most of them, then I should or even could have had. But I wanted them badly and now I got them and that's the important thing!

I'll try to find Johnny's number tomorrow and give him a call. Haven't seen him for a while to be honest.

A good year book seems to be BMR2005. See this link: BMR2005

Covering the Belgian, Dutch and ERC rallycross events (64 pages)
Also the rest of Belgian motorsport.

Eddy V · 2 Feb 2006, 09:34 (Ref:1514085)

Just contacted Johnny, the calendars are available from him at 12,5 € (8,5 Pound) without p&p.
Send me a PM for his details.

God bloody blimey! A name from the past? But the ol' chap is still alive and kicking! RX is: You can check out any time you like - but you can never leave... Regards from Germany and a now 54 years old RX crusader! ;o) Eddi

By the way: The true collector needs a total of 17 calendars and a total of 12 so-called yearbooks to feel being complete...

And to think when I was a kid I cut the calenders up to put the pictures on my wall !!!!!

Welcome to ten-tenths rx-guru.
Will you be coming to any events here in the UK this year?

So 13 calendars and no yearbooks, I still have some way to to go, but I do have 120+ programmes, 40 videos/DVD's, and a Union Jack signed by all the drivers at the 91 ERC presentation night in Buxteheude.

I hope Mr L does'nt mind me posting a picture that shows why his calendars were so great. After seeing this picture I always wanted to go to Lousada, sadly I've not yet been.
This is the November picture from the 1993 calendar

Eddy V · 2 Feb 2006, 21:49 (Ref:1514493)

Welcome to 10-10ths Mr. L.

rx-guru · 2 Feb 2006, 21:52 (Ref:1514498)

Groetjes Eddy - van Eddi!

Upside Down Bug · 3 Feb 2006, 14:33 (Ref:1514837)

I must be quite sad then, I've got no calenders or yearbooks, but 40+ videos and several hundred programmes, even some from the 70s.

chunder · 3 Feb 2006, 16:53 (Ref:1514919)

Now then Eddie, you really have to tell us if we can get hold of any of these old calendars and years books!!

And would be interesting to hear you views on the sport as you see it now!

I remember from all those all videos either you or Johnny jumping out of the way everyy now and then from a crash!!

King Arthur · 4 Feb 2006, 20:38 (Ref:1515613)

I have more than 1 complete set of both books and calenders and other than Mr Welch have the most original collection of BBC master tapes of the 1980's but nobody seems interested.

Why do you say that? Are you selling them? I'm interested in those tapes for sure!

Not interested !! Im definately interested. I have some footage from the early 80's provided by Barrie. I know it's Grandstand because the football scores keep popping up !!

chunder · 2 Mar 2006, 08:50 (Ref:1534459)

Ok now I have sen it all, there is an 88 yearbook on ebay now currently at 32 quid!

Something should really be done about this, its not a bloody Rembrandt for goodness sake!!!

It hasn't finished yet, still 3 days to go

I have a feeling it coud go higher

I just found out last week I do have a Laumanns yearbook, 1990

I'aint selling it though

King Arthur · 5 Feb 2006, 12:13 (Ref:1515900)

I am not selling them at the moment merely pointing out they may not be as valuable on the open market as people think. I have always said that if Rallycross ever got a proper achivist I would consider giving them / lending them to the archive.

moyzer · 5 Feb 2006, 13:04 (Ref:1515926)

I, for one, would love to see 'classic' Rallycross footage made available to all.

Dutch-RX · 6 Feb 2006, 08:57 (Ref:1516420)

Hi there,
I'am looking for the '82 edition of EL yearbook.

You probably know this but...

Its worth getting some professional advice on the storage and care of these sorts of recordings. (I'm a historian and researcher by profession and often work with audio visual archives.) There are a lot of issues about the decay of even high-quality master tapes. Most of the national museums and archives are usually happy to offer free advice on things like this...

Sounds like a great collection - wonder if people at Duke would be interested?

ebby · 11 Feb 2006, 17:41 (Ref:1520432)

Been watching some videos of the British Rallycross GPs from the 80s and 90s I bought on ebay last week! Fandabidozy

chunder · 5 Feb 2006, 12:44 (Ref:1515914)

Might be a nice little earner for you if you could copy them for people though. I think you might find quite a few people on here at least would gladly hand over a few notes for some of the video footage.

I know Barrie definately has some stuff that he sells on Ebay, and if you look on there the rallycross stuff usually sells pretty well!

I have two yearbooks form 88/89, veyr good actually and extremely well put together by Eddi.
