Hi all,

I've been away in the Far East since before Christmas, my wife & I
Really enjoyed it. Not being great tourists we need a reason to go.
We were in Thailand and had a family wedding in Sri Lanka in mid January .
We were very impressed with the culture food niceness of the people.

I think we have lost the cultural plot on respect, and behaviour etc.

My eyes were opened.

Quite an achievement by Charlie White to get the book published, available from him directly. Details here....

Yeah, it should be a great reference book (he did one on 356s a while ago) but the 356 book was not easy to read.

Browsing through my news feed today and Petrolicious have an article on three Porsche books. They are offering a $50 off code for the Genesis of Genius book published by Bentley which halves the price.

The code is "PETRO-GENIUS".

I got that, like you, a couple of months ago.

I just ordered the publisher edition. I had a little pm conversation with Ryan about this book and he said that it would be even better.
