And you think you're the only one?

Just kidding, I think it's the best car Porsche 'never' made.

If no one else comes through I'll see if I can track it down and email it to you later tonight.

It is a recent issue. Give Excellence a call and see if you can purchase one from their back issue department.

It's in the issue with the new RSR on the cover. If I had a scanner, I'd scan it for you.

Do they ever publish an index of all the articles? Would help sell back issues, I'd think, as well as research.

They have an index every once in a while.....I've got a bunch of Excellence magazines laying around, including I think both articles on the 968 Turbo S (factory car), the first one with the yellow car and then the newest with the built up cars. Just been so busy outside of work the last couple of weeks I haven't gotten much of anything done at home....

I'll take a copy if you have them. I currently only have the most recent Feb'04 article. You can email me at es002j@mail.rochester.edu

Thanks!
Erich
