Broke down this week and ordered issue #6 for the Carrera T content. Really looking forward to reading something not stuffed to the brim with advertisements. If the bias is kept to a minimum I will be a happy man.
Panorama and Roundel continue to be love letters to PCNA and BMWNA respectively so they keep their factory connections alive.
Only when a car is out of production do we actually get to hear what authors really think of the cars they are testing.

Just received a surprise heavy box from Porsche NA yesterday. In it were three smaller boxes that contained copies of 000 issues # 9, # 10 and # 11. Also included was a letter indicating that as one of first to take delivery of a 992 that I was receiving a free subscription. I had never heard of "000" so it was a fantastic surprise. This is an incredible magazine.
It's a good thing you have Prototyp, as I think it's the hardest to get ahold of.
Many thanks, Tom!
As for that small book in the sleeve, I got one of those too. I'm not sure of the exact method PCNA used to determine which of its customers received a subscription to 000, but my understanding is the initiative was intended to convey that PCNA does keep track of its most loyal 911 and/or sports car customers, and to say thank you. (I didn't qualify either, btw, but hopefully I would have been weeded out had I!
)Pete, as a 75 year old certified gear-head I have been looking at one auto related magazine or another for all of my life - well at least since I could turn pages to look at the photos - so let's say for over 70 years. Your magazine -- nah -- book obviously takes a ton of hours to research, create, layout, etc. I don't think you could coordinate enough staff to do that on a weekly basis -- and besides that it usually takes me a while to get thru an issue. So, quarterly is working out great for me.
Just keep maintaining the quality level you have with great writers and photographers and I'll be a very happy individual.

Just back from our first annual "editorial retreat," and am excited about 2020…Right on, and hope you enjoy. That was a very fun road test, and it finally helped me put the Carrera T into proper context alongside the Carrera when two of two press trips—that I drove a Carrera to, or to the airport—really didn't. Some Porsches are a bit more complex, or subtle—or both—compared to similar models. This was one of those times.

i just did the same as a T vs a base will likely be my next move - it was very helpful - love the detail/nuance

000 is hands down the best magazine I’ve ever laid eyes and hands on - period.
It’s become a bit of a minor obsession if I’m being honest. Even looking at them on my shelf, they look amazing lol.
I need to renew my subscription but I do have every issue (including Prototyp)!

I just ordered 005, 006, and 012 along with some stickers for my 991. Given all the feedback on this thread I'm really looking forward to enjoying them!
