It seems to be a great book , Check it out IP: Logged |

I bought the book today, pretty good book. The only thing I didn't like is it has some of Glenn Thompson's Repop pumps in it. Like the showcase Dayton 900 twin, and the Wayne showcase 800 twin. The book made it sound like these pumps were actually made and were rare and hard to find. There rare and hard to find, because they were never made by the pump manufacture.

Am I missing something here? What's the second edition? The book in the Old Gas photo appears to be the original printing. I've had this book a long time and it was printed in 1995. Are you talking about a new book or not? Thanks. Paul IP: Logged |

Paul , Yes its the second Edition , Although I did not know it was availible here on Old Gas, I thought Just the first edition was avalible. yes its the second edition pictured on the help page ,I know what you mean Brain, But the Pictures of Glens doubles are Fantastic looking and perserving them in a book I think is OK , but the author should have said they where a fantacy Piece. What was nice in this edition was the added features like Clocks , the Gas attendance uniforms and Hats,Thermometors, license plate toppers, Check it out By the way, If I had known I could of bought it here I would have saved 10.00 [This message has been edited by +Chris Holt (edited 12-17-2005).] [This message has been edited by +Chris Holt (edited 12-17-2005).] IP: Logged |

Hey Cheese! Why you always got one finger up? Does that mean $1.00 for choice of pumps? I'll take 10!!! IP: Logged |

Every time Cheese spots a UFO, he tries to get a picture of it, but his cameraman is always too interested in the pumps... What a shame...  IP: Logged |
