    Christophorus

    I bought a 986 in 2001, then replaced it with a 987 in march last year. I only just realised i havent been sent the Christophorus magazine since oct/nov 2004.

    What is the deal meant to be anyway? even if its for a limited time surely my new car last year should have got me a new subscription? or have things changed?

    I'm not sure how that works, maybe it's country/importer specific.

    But if it's any consolation you're welcome to mine.

    Yes, I think so - I received the first copy after placing the order for the new car without any formal subscription for the magazine.

    Re: Christophorus

    you're supposed to get a subscription to christophorus magazine ( a very light magazine with some 'lifestyle articles', basically 50 pages of porsche advertisements )

    with every new porsche purchase...

    at least you do in the states.

    every month we get a handful

    Re: Christophorus

    I didn't start receiving Christophorus automatically after my 987 arrived, so I complained to my dealer and now get it through the post every two months.

    Re: Christophorus

    In the UK you get it for 12 months, unless you continue to subscribe. A lot of the articles are also published on the Porsche website anyway, so unless you want the adverts its not worth paying for

    Re: Christophorus

    Well, it seems its all a bit random then

    I can understand it differing between countries. I got it for about 3.5 years when buying my 986 and not had it at all since buying my 987.

    I'm not all that bothered, only ever flicked through it, just wondered what the deal was meant to be really.
