Default No more Christophorus??

I remember when I got my first Porsche, a 914, in 1970 I received Christophorus from the factory and also did with later 944 and 911's. Got my GT3 in October and no magazine yet- is that not a "gift" from Porsche anymore? Anyone else get the mag after buying a car??

I received one issue about 5 months later. It has the CGT on the cover.

I am not positive, but I think your dealer has to sign you up to receive the magazine.

When I bought my first Porsche in 1989, Porsche gave you the first year for free, and I've renewed every year since. I think now it's something the dealer has to foot the bill for--if they choose. My last 3 Carreras, no Christophorus--one dealer gave me a Carrera car model, and another a Porsche beer stein.

You can order it directly. I think the info is on the Porsche or PCA website.

I've received one issue. Is it a monthly publication?

Do you really want it though?

I've been getting a copy since I bought my car from the dealer. My 2 year old son likes the smell of it.

I have the December 2003/Janauary 2004 issue on my desk. it says:
"Christophorus is published bi-monthly in five languages.
Subscriptions can be obtained directly from Porsche or through any Porsche Dealer." $28/year.



Quick Reply: No more Christophorus??
