That's one of the things I really like about it. It's a large format magazine with heavy, high quality paper and great photography that has a semigloss/matte look. It just wouldn't look or feel the same viewing it on a phone or tablet.

Well done. Pete. The epitome of Go Big or Go Home.

I brought the first issue to a PCA dinner meeting last month at our dealer. No one had seen it. Few, if any, had even heard of it. Including the manager. It was a hit, of course. I'm sure you have a marketing plan, but one question: Will you be appearing on Jay Leno's Garage soon?

Agreed. Even a crap mag like R&T doesn't look good in the digital version.

But 000 is phenomenal. It's a magazine in name only; rather it's an art work that's delivered to your home 4 times a year.

Good job the new issue, Pete. It's a stunner.

Odd about "The Magazine" page on the site. Same is true for me on this browser. I've got a note in to the web team to address asap. Sorry about that!
Website fixed, everyone. Let me know if you have further problems...

Right on, and will do. I stop by the campus if I am on 101, but have yet to make it to a reunion. This year would be a good one…we'll see.

Ha. I suppose Jay would need to invite me. I'd have my publicist look into it, but I'm not much one for TV. Petrolicious just published a bit about 000 and the nut behind the wheel—and I'm told it's fun to read. That's good, because I sure had fun working with them. Some of the nerdier Porsche geek outs were trimmed—probably a good move for their audience, which they know better than anyone—but I am just realizing the bits about the 928 fell to the red pen.

Hey, many thanks!! No, we aren't interested in doing digital content—there are already enough platforms in that sphere. We wanted to add something different to the media landscape, and hobby.

I'd hurry up in that case—and that's said in a friendly way!

Last I checked about 150~ left. When they're gone, they're gone.

I'd like to get in on that as well.

About to subscribe but I have a question. In the subscription page I see $250 subscription but it shows $350 total at the bottom. I assume that is the total including shipping to Australia, which shows as the country in the subscription info?

Is this (001) the first issue , or was there an issue preceding this one? ... I can't seem to see any info giving me a clear answer on that. If there is a preceding issue, can I still get a copy of that?

I could find none on Ebay just now, nor about a month ago. It would be an interesting exercise to post one there (with a crazy reserve price). Not yet, though.

There was a special issue before 001 called Prototyp.
