Post Magazine Article Question

I have the 911 and Porsche issue that contains the 928 Buyers guide - May 2000.

I was wondering if any of the other back issues of 911 and Porsche have good articles about the 928. On their web site they list 3 others that the 928 is mentioned - are these worth Purchasing?

No 41 April 1997
No 86 May 2001
No 97 April 2002

Are there others that I have missed?

Subject: Porsche 928 articles - 911 & Porsche World


Guys,

You might want to make a visit to your local Magazine Shop - if you
don't already subscribe to the British magazine; "911 & Porsche World".
Last night I was reading the Number 103 edition (October?) that
arrived
this week, and it was noted two different places in the magazine that
the
number 104 edition will have the Porsche 928 as it's lead article. To
quote
the final page: "Lead story is Peter Morgan's investigation into the
928 in
all its many forms - it might just make you realise what you've been
missing
all these years".
The magazine is fairly expensive at $6.25 a copy, and not very many
retailers handle it. Thus, you might want to search out a supplier and
find
out when the copies will arrive (or even reserve one). Alternatively,
you
can contact: <a href="http://ewacars.com" target="_blank">http://ewacars.com</a>
They sell (and distribute) subscriptions in the US, and may be able to
supply individual copies.
There lead articles are generally quite thorough. Hope this one
will be
as well. Enjoy it - if you buy it.

Thanks Pilot. Border's carries the magazine so I will check it out. Guess I will wait on the back issues until I hear from others.

I joined the 928OC a few years ago but seemed to have been dropped and added a few times - I no longer get emails - maybe time to check it out again.

same here. (with the OC I mean) I recently signed up yet again. It is too good to leave alone as a group. Kinda reminds me of a certain addiction to a certain automobile... <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

The lag time for Borders to get 911 & Porsche World is terrible. I was just there on Friday and got the last copy of issue #102. They blow outta the store as soon as they arrive. I maybe waiting until December to get issue #104.
