Does anyone have a digital copy of the Jim Pasha M96 article in Excellence?
I cannot find the magazine in my small town.

Thanks all

Sorry to hear you can't get it in your small town. But please don't ask someone to scan one and thus break the law. I don't mean to be a turkey, but we have to protect our content and you can order one as a back issue (already) by calling (415) 382-0580 during normal business hours.

It doesn't cost much...

Thanks,

pete

oops, I apologize. I had assumed once someone buys a mag, they can make a copy of an article as long as they do not sell it. It appears I assumed wrong.

I would appreciate it if you can find a dealer in Republic mo. as well as a trustworthy dealership, and a cheap knowledgeable mechanic

thanks for the number, maybe I will just get a subscription.....

Just go to amazon. Their subscription prices are very affordable for such a good magazine. There has been so much great content in there of late.

No worries!

I can't speak to the legality of the above (I believe any form of copying violates our copyright protection), but we'd sure appreciate your business. Creating articles like this one takes work, after all, and we want to keep the lights on around here!

Happy motoring,

pete

I sometimes do, and am more likely to when I'm not on deadline. But I can't always do it...

Sorry!

I'm a subscriber but I would have liked to see a "source list" in the article. I did see an ad for LN.

Go to the guys website that has done all the work and come up with not only the reasons, but a fix that can include lots more HP if one is so inclined. This is really good news http://www.flat6innovations.com/

Springfield and to the nearest Borders or Barnes Noble book store. Either one should carry Excellence on its periodicals rack. While your there, look for Gt & Purely Porsche, 911 and Porsche, 911 Only, and Evo, CAR, and Top Gear.

All great Porsche specific or just car mags in general.

There's a Porsche dealership in Springfield, too, though I've never done business with it. (Tried to buy a Boxster there but was unable to come to a deal. Ended up buying in Merriam KS at Aristocrat Motors.)

Dealer over in Wichita a good dealer, but that's kind of far for you to go.

Sincerely,

MarcW.

We've thought hard about source lists, but they come off too much as advertorial in our view. Perhaps that's because many (but not all) magazines who include them have sold out to their advertisers.

So, sorry for the inconvenience -- but we figure you're smart enough to track companies down if you're interested enough, and that probably means the calls those companies do get won't be wasting their time, too.

I'm not saying I am sure we've got this one "right," just some of the reasoning behind it. I see validity on both sides, but just err towards a separation of Church and State.

+1 on the subscription! Worth every penny.

I have every issue.

Yes, I'm a geek.
