Microcar Catalogue is Finally Available!!
« on: January 21, 2013, 01:23:14 AM »
Lots of folks here have been aware of the upcoming auction of the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum that's being performed by RM Auctions.  Just today I noticed that the catalogue for the auction is FINALLY available on their website free for download.

Since sometimes RM's script-based catalogue downloading website is rather buggy and takes ages to download, I put together a very simple web page that anyone can use to manually download the catalogue outside of the RM website.  Simply download the text document here, remove the '.txt' from the end of the filename, and double-click.

Enjoy!  The full catalogue is something around 33 Mb.

Obviously, if you're familiar with basic HTML coding, you can easily modify the link in the file to download lots of other catalogues from the RM website without actually wading through the heavy scripting and stuff.

Outstanding!  But (why is there always a but?) I received a minor case of retina burn from the background color.   :lmao:

Serially, (or seriously) it's a nice way to grab the catalog.  'Course being a retired s/w developer, I couldn't just leave well enough alone, so I added all the 2012 catalogs to the list, along with their sizes. 

This isn't meant to upstage ya, but just a little addition to your excellent idea.
