It says,
"...dispatched within 1 to 3 weeks".

Does anybody know anything about the content of the new book?

Given how good, thorough and detailed the old 'Porsche book' is, does anybody have any idea what the new book is likely to contain? I'm assuming more diagrams and laid out differently.

ABS is now standard on all cars and ESP/TC will probably get a mention.

The 80s Porsche 911 and 944 will presumably not feature so prominently.

The big one: Will double-de-clutching at all times still be recommended?

Strange hours you keep, Andy. Before or after bed? Long time no see.

Got mine yesterday and have had a scan through it. Looks like a good quality publication with lots of nice, detailed colour illustrations. Definitely noticed mention of ESC etc, seems very up to date. Looking forward to reading it.

Perhaps they are having trouble with getting a clear stock?


combination book delivery and soup joke, with a touch of brake gear overlap perhaps

I was wondering why are people talking about soup. Then I re-read my post.

It was sent from my phone. Stupid touch screens...

I'm about half way through my copy and am finding it to be very very good so far. There's an awful lot of information in it, but it's well presented and well written with good use of diagrams supporting the text. Good use of relevant anecdotes as well that bring home the reasoning behind the theory.

There is talk of heel and toeing, not just double declutch as someone asked earlier, and frequent mention of ABS, ESC which makes the book more up to date than my cars biggrin

Well worth getting a copy.
