DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

So... After 10 years and 71 issues, the next issue of Classic Porsche, #72 due out in October, will be my last as editor. The magazine was recently sold to Kelsey Media and for reasons both personal and professional, I opted not to take up the offer to continue as editor. This wasn't an easy decision to make as CP was my idea originally (almost 20 years ago, in fact!) and I have had pretty much sole responsibility for it since, but with new owners will inevitably come changes as budgets are tightened.

I shall continue to contribute to both CP and 911 & Porsche World, but responsibility for content will now rest with the new editor. I'll leave it to him to introduce himself, although as far as I know he's not one of us here on DDK.

Thanks for all your support, feature cars and banter. It's been fun – and long may that aspect continue. If any of you have feature-worthy cars or projects in the pipeline, let me know. I'm your man.

My new 'work' e-mail is keithseume@vwporsche.online – or my usual keith@fastbrit.com is always good to go.

Cheers!

Sorry to hear that, Keith.
Very best wishes for the future.

PS - the coffee pot is on!

Can’t have been an easy decision Keith, but wishing you all the best for the future!

Must have been a difficult decision

Be good to still read your work in there and hopefully the magazine will continue to be a good read

Sorry to hear that Keith, although hopefully you’ll get more enjoyment out of your work without the burden of so much responsibility.

We have a few nice projects here coming to completion, although the current Covid situation makes travel a pain!

Say it ain’t so!

The Keith Seume name has been at the top of the first page of my favourite car magazines for more than 30 years. I’m not sure what I’ll do without you.

Unless...

You’re moving to Audi TT Enthusiast Monthly?

Good luck for the future Keith. You can now spend more time with Bootsy. Is that a good thing?

Sorry to disappoint you Sam, but the TT is probably for sale – I use the Renault R4 far more these days, to the extent the battery's gone flat in the TT!

As for more time with Bootsy, can anyone ever have too much time with him? Hello? Hello? Anyone?

Too Much is Never Enough - my motto

Thanks for all your hard work over the years Keith and always producing an excellent and varied read. All the best for your next adventure whatever that may be.

Regards
Mike

Good luck with the new venture Keith ...

Thanks for giving us all a great mag Keith.

GT Porsche used to be one of my favourite up market Porsche magazines, then Kelsey Media took it over. Jus sayin..

It's no coincidence...

Still freelancing Keith ? If so make sure you let us all know where and when your stuff will feature.

They say a change is as good as a rest so hopefully you’ll enjoy the break. I have to say I’m not a fan of the Kelsey Media output so the signs are not good.

Hope to see you at an event or join us for a jaunt around Wales if you fancy it.
