Many thanks, guys!

I've been between computers and am just back from Petit Le Mans, where I spied a couple of cool 914s, including a very cool red four.

Anyway, I got my start in a 914 so they'll always be special to me, and the one I've got will remain in the garage for good. And while I suspect the next 12-24 months are gonna be crazy, just as the last 12-24 have, I'll still be lurking here from time to time!

On the side of Pano, I appreciate the magazine for its new car reviews, historical race articles and European Windows section to better understand the marketplace and what I missed from the racing scene.

Glad to hear it will get even better now!

A car in every garage, a chicken in every pot and a 914 on the cover... in this election year, is this too much to ask for?

I do agree that Pano has been a little stale the last few years. I was always jealous of the adventures the Turners were able to go on due to their status with PCA. When I first joined 25 years ago I couldnt wait to pour over the classifieds each month in hopes to find a gem and buy it before anyone else. But since the age of information technology has exploded the magazine has lost its usefullness. Before I open the Pano each month I always guess what is on the cover be if it is a racing car street car new or classic and it is about the most exciting part of the read.

Good luck Pete and hope someday soon I can envy your position with PCA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hey Pete,

Good luck with the new venture! I have you to thank for getting my first 914 about 12 years ago...the care package you sent of back issues, other articles, etc...and now I went out and bought a second '74 that now has a small (block) upgrade in power. I may have to run the California Melee again with the new car!!

I am not a prolific poster. I am a busy guy who subscribes to about five magazines, and I struggle to get through them and keep up with what I record on the DVR and most importantly, this site.

I posted this thread because I have been subscribing to Excellence for close to 15 years and have received Pano for nearly as long. There has been a marked improvement in Excellence since Pete has taken the helm. I am certain that they will find a suitable replacement for him, and that the publication will continue to flourish. Pano, on the other hand, has been boring since I have been a member of PCA. By no means do I want to diminish the efforts of the previous editor - she clearly loves Porsche and the community, but the publication has grown a bit tired.

I truly feel that Pete will bring a new life to the magazine that will turn it from a 10 minute skim to cover-to-cover keeper, just as he did with Excellence. At the same time, I trust that the owners of Excellence will find another editor to keep that publication strong. I really feel like this is a win-win for those of us who still get excited about getting a new magazine in the mail each month.

Rest assured, Excellence will be in very capable hands. I'm sworn to secrecy, but he's a veteran who is totally respected in the auto-scribe ranks.

Good, I really enjoy Excellence. The only other mag I read is Grassroots Motorsports. Both have great writing; I might have to join PCA so that I can keep up with Pete's contributions. Good luck Pete!
