While you're stuck at home…, 000 back issues on sale—no GB required Options

[horizontally-opposed]

With so many events canceled—and so many of us suddenly stuck at home with time to spare—we've decided to discount 000 back issues for the first time ever.

It's a small way we can make staying indoors a bit more pleasurable for Porsche people—providing a getaway from endless hyperlinks and drop-down notifications. Which is precisely what 000 was designed to be: a luxurious reading experience and an alternative to a night out, a concert, or a car event you just can't get to when life intervenes.

And 000 is meant to be an experience: Each issue has 260 pages, weighs about three pounds, comes in a box, and contains no more than 5-7% advertising—meaning at least 242-247 of 260 pages are pure Porsche content. In them, you'll find deep dives, long drives, new research, unpublished documents, untold stories, old stories we only thought we knew, and elements of Porsche cars and Porsche stories placed under a microscope.

000 isn't for everyone, nor was it designed to be. But if you want to know Porsche better, and to understand the real minds behind that hood crest, you might just love 000.

We'll get through this. In the meantime, take care of what's important, take care of yourself so you can do so, and I'll see you on the other side.

Best,

*If I was were to recommend a back issue for those on this forum, it might be Issue 008 or 012. In 008, there's a 44-page, long-form story on the birth of the "R-car" in the form of a repurposed 914-6 GT in support of Herbert Linge's vision for safety cars that could get to racing crashes sooner, when every second mattered. Yes, the program that saved Lauda and so many more can be traced back to Porsche, and a Porsche. And, in many ways, it's a program that's still ahead of its time—particularly at the club level. Other elements of the issue include a deep dive into an "NOS" 944 Turbo built by Fabcar, unbagged and rolled into a studio for an extensive shoot backed up by a 50-page, long-form read on an "NOS" Fabcar 944 Turbo penned by Tom M'Guinness and shot in studio by TJ Grewal—which is backed up by an appendix with hand drawings from a master builder, parts lists, archival images, Fabcar's and Holbert's equipment list for a test at Road Atlanta, large-scale scans of PMNA's feedback from EFR's win at Brainerd as sent to Jürgen Barth and Peter Falk in Weissach-Flacht, engine failure analysis, wiring diagrams, and more. There's also a peek inside of the Bosch Motronic boxes that manage so many of our cars, a long-form study of Hoffman v von Neumann—literally, the birth of Porsche in the U.S.—an examination and explanation of wheel fans, and far more. In Issue 012, there's a story by Lizett Bond on one of the very first 914s delivered in west LA and its 102-year-old original owner along that's part of a broader study of the 914's design and its intersection with midcentury modern architecture—backed up with perspectives from Hans Lapine, Freeman Thomas, and Mark Haddawy…who know their design and Porsches —and happen to be 914 owners—along with large-scale prints of all of the models that led to the eventual production 914. It's the first article I've seen that truly helped me understand why a Porsche that I've been looking at and driving for 30+ years looks the way it does…and so different from the two production Porsche chassis that came before it. There's a lot more in the issue, including a deep dive into Porsche's first Le Mans winner, and far, far more.
