Classic Porsche magazine (Spring issue)

Post by Ferry Man »

Bought the current issue today and what a good read.
Some excellent stories in there, recommended reading for the early Porsche enthusiast.
Well done Keith! :)

I particularly like the '72 car (with external oil filler door) converted with ST arches, simple hoop roll bar, through the bonnet filler, running 7" & 9" rims on Michelin rubber with a 2.9 litre engine on carbs and twin plugged. Sounds like a dream specification. :)

Good stuff on the Death Valley trip and, well, quite a few great articles actually.....
Keep up the good work.

Yes, got mine through the door a couple of days back and had a quick flick through, looking forward to some quiet time tomorrow morning to have a read - Great Magazine

When is it going monthly?

Thanks everyone – makes all the effort worthwhile. Been a dream for a long time and my biggest frustration is that I have far too many feature ideas for just a quarterly!

The economy right now makes it hard to think in terms of going monthly (although there's undoubtedly the material to fill 12 issues a year!), but what we (well, I) need to do is spread the word as much as we/I can.

If I had my way, it would be monthly right now, no two way about it. :)

Thanks again.

Keith, don't want to tell you how to suck eggs (but then I just go and do it), have you posted a link on the official Porsche facebook page to your page? They have got 1.4 million people following their page that some word spreading!! Then do it on a regular basis say every two weeks - every month, you've gotta get something back a bit of free advertising won't kill em :wink:
P.S. Love the mag #1 & the last one rock! 8)

Ian - thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Porsche's Facebook page won't let me post! I can only assume they have a 'non-commercial' filter, or something. I'll keep trying, though... A war of attrition often works. :wink:

Best issue by far I wasnt going to renew but after this one I think I will. Would like a bit more technical/how to articles.

Disappointed!

Post by Jez 356 »

I am a little disappointed

I bought the mag on the 11th March and had read every page - cover to cover by the 12th March!

So now I have to wait until the next edition!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant content - something for everyone - Inspirational - I had to get the 356 out and dream it was a speedster crossing Death Valley!

Keep up the good work.

I still have a loft full of 12 years worth of KS's good work with VolksWorld now I suspect Classic Porsche will join them in time!!

At the risk of saying 'me too', I really enjoyed #5 too! Two gorgeous 356's, the racey looking '72 and the 906 article were personal highlights. I've yet to read the article about the guy who looks like the keyboard player from Sparks - didn't realise you were covering classic bands as well?

Cheers, Jon
