And a fine license plate!
The "market update" section is worth the subscription price all by itself.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio reads it when he is not arresting illegals.

Definitely a good mag for a Porsche enthusiast, from new cars to old, stock to modified, street to track.

I don't think the Market Updates are realistic, and the Buyers Guide is repetitive...the particulars of the air-cooled 911s just aren't going to change...but that is the only section I glaze over.

I've been a subscriber since the almost beginning, with 95% of the issues in boxes in the garage. Worth every penny.

Yep, they have both Ian Kuah and now Chris Harris, making a good mag even better. The publishing group used to put out the best car mag ever IMO (Sports Car International) but they pulled the plug on that one.

I've been reading Excellence since its inception, when it did have another name.
Good reading as well as the Panorama the PCA Club magazine. I also find Total911 to be excellent reading, which is a publication out of England totally focus on 911S.

Thanks. Sent in my subscription. Have to stop Christophorus-starting earlier this year, they were unable to regularly send me the next issue unless I wrote and asked for it. Have been a subscriber for years. Strange. Have seen Excellence and Total-just wanted to know if I should make time for either. Too much to read as it is.

Great for 911 folks. A great tech series on the IMS/RMS issues on th M96/7 engines was worth many times the price of a subscription.
