By pure happenstance, my isue of Excellence came in yesterday. Read the article last night and it was "Excellent," no pun intended...

Anyone wanting to find out more about the 2/6 rod bearing issues with our engines will do good reading this article. Chuck full of other information for those inclined to want more from their 928. Execution of the 928 in the article looks first rate and made for great pictures.

The author seemed to have payed attention when interviewing Professor Ott, did not notice any hiccups with the article, well written and entertaining.

For those that don't know, this is pretty huge for us 928 lovers. Excellence is read by many enthusiasts around the world and is considered by many as "the" Porsche magazine.

Congratulations again, Herr Professor!

I stopped my subscription to Excellence in favor of 911 & Porsche World, which has many more front engine articles. Maybe I'll rethink my Excellence subscription if they write more articles on our cars.

Thanks very much everyone. It was a long project. I haven't received my Excellence copy either so I don't know what is in it. The Author, Peter Linsky, seemed like a really nice guy. Like he should have owned a 928 instead of the other kind.

I've got my copy and it is quite complimentary of Mr. Ott and his car. Thanks for raising the profile of our cars and their potential! I think 928s just went up in value considerably!

Excellence isn't readily available here in England. Would someone buy a copy for me when available in the shops and post to me ? All costs refunded.

Excellence arrived in the mail today, went right to page 92.

Louie- All I can say is

Remind me to retire ASAP so I can play in the shop too. After I get a shop, that is......
