Articles Required for the Magazine

Post by Sean Smallman »

We desperately need articles for All Torque.

Running Reports, Maintenance, Trips, Events, How you came by your car, Comparisons between models you have owned etc.

You don't have to be good at English or a literary talent to tap out a few words and share your story.

Tony, Richard Sholl and I are happy to help, if you would like to discuss an idea first.

I would love to write an article perhaps for the club members car section. I bought my first porsche last year a cayman, and already upgraded to a 997 C2S. Would this be something you would be interested in?

I don't think we need 'war and peace' but it's pretty easy to rattle off 500 to 1000 words. A few half decent pictures, edit out the worst of the cliches and there's an All Torque' article!

I have a bit of a Road Trip planned for a couple of weeks' time.. London to Stuttgart in my 997.2S for a stroll around the Porsche Museum [and the special Prototype Exhibition!], a Factory Tour [!] and then Beers in Stuttgart [and Brussels on the way back]..

Would an article on this be welcome..? I'm sure I have an English Degree somewhere in the back reaches of my life so could stitch the words together relatively competently :drunken: :lol:

Always good to read about a road trip. The Museum has been done to death but good to see some photos of the factory.

I am finalising a road trip to the Museum for the region next year.

Ah, no photos allowed of the Factory.. :?

As for the Museum, the Prototype exhibition [17 September, 2014 to 11 January, 2015] does look rather special.. http://www.porsche.com/museum/en/ausstellung/

I never get tired of looking around the museum, that exhibition looks interesting. That would be worth a feature.

Which route are you taking?

There is an an International Porsche Clubs Show in Dinslaken when we go over.
