Default Nice 928 piece in Excellence this month!

Just got my new issue of "E" in the mail. Lo and behold a real nice piece about a guy with a 1980 and 1986 928!

Cheers!

You just got your June issue? Does your postman drive a 928?

WOW! They have not called me yet and I have one of every body style plus a few extras...those two 928's must be REALLY, REALLY nice to have garnered a spot in Excellence.

I look forward to reading it!

Glad to hear more good 928 articles are in Excellence! Can't wait to get my issue, heard it also has a great article on a factory 968 Turbo RS! Wished they made a 928 Turbo RS...

The 968 turbo RS was on the cover and featured in Panorama this past issue.

There are my cars, and it is killing me my issue has come yet, and even Barnes and Noble doesn't have it.... How was the article, good? I mentioned Rennlist like 20 times to the Excellence editor.

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the article.

928ers, if you like what you see please let the Editor of Excellence hear from you. Always nice to hear you're work is appreciated by the target group! Subscription order to Excellence would probably also help to let them know we like 928 articles in the magazine!

Absolutely no affiliation.

Shaynes.
The article was quite complimentary! The writer seemed really impressed and appreciative of the qualities of both cars. If you want I can scan the article and send it to you. Congrats! You've made us all look good!

Wow congrats Spencer! I look forward to seeing & reading the article. How'd you garner up that coverage & more importantly, why did you keep it a secret from the rest of us?? With the increasing 928 coverage, I think I'll have to renew my subscription to Excellence.

That is awesome, can't wait to buy a copy this week!

Really nice to see familiar faces getting recognition and more importantly, publicity for our cars!

Soooo to those of you who say that garage queens are useless and they need to be driven......

I called Pete Stout when I started the restoration on the 86.5 and kept in contact, and then when I added the 10k mile 80 5spd to the equation he set up the article, Bob Chapman the photog and author was first class, and he put up with a unique day with my wife wondering why it took half a day on a weekend to just take photos, as in we have all been there, wife wanted less Porsche more her... so hats off to Bob on that day.
