Could anyone email me or post here the following entire article from "Excellence" magazine, the November issue?
"Road Test: 2006 Carrera 4 & 4S Cabriolet
The return of the world’s ultimate four-seasons Cabriolet, and it’s a stunner.
By Ian Kuah"
I'm a new subscriber to "Excellence" but have been notified my sub will not begin until the December issue. I'd hate to miss this article on the 06 Cabs as mine is "ON VESSEL".
Thanks.

How about going to a local book store, chiming $5 and buying the whole magazine?

How about because I live in a town of 6,000 and I already called the book/magazine sellers and no-one carries the magazine? It ain't exactly Miami here Flying Finn. I'd gladly plunk down $5 for a copy of the Nov. issue thank you. I have a subscription, it doesn't begin until December issue.

Coochas has quite a few 911 articles scanned. It doesn't look like he has that one yet, but just ask him and he'll get it because he is buying a C4S and will want to read it for himself:

Thanks Fishman, finally some helpful advice!

Flying Finn

Sorry, Didn't know that (you could've explained it though).

If scanning doesn't work out, PM me with your details, I can go and buy you a magazine and then mail it to you if you want.

You mean Excellence and Total 911 aren't shelved next to the 'coonskin hats and -xxx-moonshine? I kid, I kid......hard to find Porsche lit here too in these parts Ohio, where the three local staples seem to be bowling, polka and kielbasi.

Well, our staples are NASCAR and Pork BBQ in vinegar based sauce (yuck to both!!) Man, I really miss good ol' Texas beef BBQ!

Here is an article on their web site about the C2s cab, so hopefully the C4 cab articles will show up soon.

I've got a C4s Cab on order too, so I'm looking foward to seeing the article too. I'll check the bookstore this week.

Thanks everyone.
Someone from rennlist is kindly mailing me their November Excellence magazine.
Sorry Flying Finn and thanks for the kind offer, didn't mean to jump on you.
Gota911, I agree, red (tomato based) bar-b-q sauce is much better be it over beef or pork.
Do you ever get out to these beautiful mountains in western, NC?

I just so happened to be next to a newsstand today while running an errand and they had this issue (unfortunately it was the last one and a bit warped). I bought it and here's the highlights:

- The cab top is extremely well built and fits like a glove
- "adjustments made to its suspension remove most of the understeer inherent with AWD
- "this latest open 911 moves to the top of the tree as the drivers cabriolet of choice""
- "this is a porsche that takes 100-mph cruising in stride...drop it down and it wakes up pushign you back hard as the flat 6 cries like a banshee ..."
- Only competition is a Mercedes SL 55 and it can't hang with it in the twisties
- living classic with pure Porsche DNA

I highly recommend the November 2005 Sports Car International issue too. They have a great article explaining how the 997 C4s elminates the understeer problems of the 996 C4s.

can not wait to see the 20" 's and lowering on a C4S cab the tires should be even bigger .

My wife and I were up in the Boon area about three weeks ago. Where in western NC are you located? Any where near Asheville?

Cogito

ronmart, thank you, thank you, thank you!
gota911, I'm near Brevard in Pisgah Forest, maybe 30 - 45 minutes southwest of Asheville.
Boone is beautiful, nice college town, skiiing, etc.
