As an ex-pat I don’t get easy access to the usual mags available in the UK newsagents.

I’ve just picked up a copy of the August issue of “911 and Porsche World” which seemed quite good (and covered all models not just 911’s) so I’ve taken out a subscription. What are the other main Porsche titles for the UK market?

The 'other' dedicated Porsche publication that's relatively easy to get in the UK and elsewhere is 'GT Purely Porsche'

Cynicism apart also worth trying EVO if you don't already read it, since it's accused of being a Porsche mag by default

Many in the Porsche Club GB know it as GT Purely Poor.

Or GT Puerile Porsche...

Certainly used to be poor editorially, but may be better these days (mags change). Pics have ALWAYS been sensational tho'

That sounds about right, as they wander around with their 'porsche club GB' embroidered polo shirts on...

GT PP has always, in my opinion been more about the pictures then the articles. Especially as they always seem to feature cars by malton of Yorkshire. Whatever new cars they have in stock, GT PP will feature them...

I subscribe to both Gt Purley Porsche and 911 and Porsche world.

If I had to pick one it would ne 911 and Porsche world. However I still enjoy GT Purley Porsche.

Then again I can't read so I only look at the pictures anyway oh and the adverts to see what extras I can buy for a Porsche I dont own

Yes I am that sad.
