Link worked for me. It's a link to buy the book, not to the article itself.

Also just downloaded the iPad/iPhone app ($1.99), it does not provide digital magazine access to this "special" issue, just the monthly issues, current "Total 911" one is included in the $1.99 price, the rest appear to be $4.99.

Will need to find it on a newsstand or order from the links above (from the UK).

No affiliation.

YMMV

P.S. Sorry if the link wasn't working, for some. Not sure what I may have done wrong cutting and copying.

As an IP attorney, I cannot commit copyright infringement on a public forum!

Anyway, there are a bunch of articles covering the 993TT and there are some nice photos, so you should just buy a copy for your literature collection

Get Adrian Streather's "993 The Essential Companion" for this Sean. It's $170 here or, as usual, $67 in the US!

I just picked it up at the local bookstore, fun read. Common theme throughout - the 993 Turbo is the best looking of any generation ( obviously )

Already have that. I don't think it's that good. I have a very inquisitive mind and would like something fairly technical.

Let me know if you find anything Sean. I found Streather a great "light" intro...
