Total 911 Feature: Cayman s v 997



The magazine is now out (in the UK, at least)! It includes my comparison of the Cayman S with a 997 C2S


Sorry I can't post the feature, the editor would skin me alive (not for the first time, either...).


Rod - I mislaid your address, please send it to me again for your free copy. Also, sorry that the editor mis-spelled your name in the credits (I didn't get to proof-read those).

Without cutting and pasting the article, can you give us an overview? I don't know that I've seen this magazine in the U.S. Do they have a website with the article on it? Calling mpollard, calling mpollard! [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/angel_smile.gif[/img]

As soon as 12 shows up in the U.S. I'll get it.

The website is at Total911.com - it's still showing last month's issue (the one pictured above) but should be updated very soon. The May issue only comes out OFFICIALLY tomorrow...


An overview? Well, I love 911s and I do write for a magazine called Total 911, but I hope you will agree that it's a fair feature. I'm not one for just spouting stuff that I think the readers might want to hear. I write about way that things really feel for me, as the driver.


Let's just say I'm expecting a bit of flak from a certain corner of the 911-owning world. Fortunately, and contrary to what you might sometimes think, most 911 owners are open-minded and are quite capable of accepting that a Cayman is something very special...

John, It sounds like Total 911 might need to change it's subheading - Nothing else matters?

LOL


We've all had a bit of a laugh about that, from time to time.


Current suggestions include 'Something else matters' and, my personal favourite, a renaming as 'Partial 911'...

I have no problem with Total 911 as a title, nor sibling rivalary, which is good for the whole family. It's fratricide that I object to! Looking forward to the article, thanks.

Funny you should say that, as 'Sibling Rivalry' is the title of the feature.


Let's see if I can show a picture (by Ali Cusick) having just whizzed through the relevant thread...

Perhaps a sister publication is in order - 'Total Cayman' or more broadly 'Total 987' or even more broadly 'Mid Engine Porsche - The way it was meant to be....' [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/embaressed_smile.gif[/img]
