The majority of the older Car Wars material isn't in any electronic format that I'm aware of. It'll need to be scanned then OCR'ed.

We've found a good third-party scanner, and have streamlined the OCR process significantly. I wouldn't be suprised to see Car Wars PDFs available later this year.

(And on a more general note, there is very little reason to not upload our entire OOP backlist, eventually. However, "eventually" may take quite some time.)
