Porsche magazines

Hi there,

I know these are the nice Porsche magazines:

- Excellence
- 911 & Porsche World
- Total 911
- GT Porsche

Am I forgetting any ? Do you have more recommendations ?

I get Christophorus (from PNA), Panorama (PCA), and Spiel (PCA PNW Region). This enough for me... as I usually glance through them, enjoy the pictures and then rotate to the coffee-table-recycle-bin.

I get Excellence and Panorama being a PCA member. The Spiel is just about what's going on in your PCA Region and, most of the time, I just glance at its contents and discard it after not finding anything of interest inside.

I also read GT Purely Porsche, Total 911 and 911 and Porsche World at the local Barnes & Noble and only buy an issue if I really want to keep it. Forgive me but I find Christophorus not worth cutting the trees needed to put it to print. I found nothing of interest in the issue that arrived today on my mailbox.

I find Excellence has a good balance of older, newer and modified cars that can interest most anyone and even get me excited about possibly picking up a vintage 911.

Christophorus is a complete waste --- 50% of the pages are of useless gaudy watches and articles on trips to Tibet, etc. Not my cup of tea.

Christophorus - is a brilliant brain washing campaign.

I love Excellence but lately I've found them to have too much advertising.
Once in a while I'll pick up a GT Purely or Total 911

I'll admit I look at the 3 magazines solely for the pictures. They have articles? (I mean adverts?)

Just googled them (Christophorus), didn't know it was from Porsche. But 24 euros/yr for 6 issues? Seems excessive. BMW and Lexus send me similar magazines for free.
