Thumbs up New porsche magazine...and it's free!

hey just wanted to know if anyone else had subscribed to ferdinand magazine? I stumbled on it in another forum a couple days ago and have to say I'm really impressed. It's a fully digital magazine with a very professional feel to it. I have to say the photography was excellent and the writing really good as well. The best part has to be the feature on the Boxster in the first issue it was awesome. Just curious if anyone else read it

I looked at it...not too bad. I have a problem with any publication - especially on line, internet writing that isn't completely proof-read and corrected. Here's the first incorrect word usage I found, and that (in my opinion) is very, very annoying. It needs to be written correctly.

"The new Boxster is lighter then the old..."

Syntax and word/tense/structure needs to be correct. Things are different THAN the old.

http://ferdinandmagazine.com/<-------there's the link sorry I didn't post it earlier. Seeing as it's a free magazine I didn't expect extreme quality and attention to detail but I'm really impressed with the photography. In all I think it's a decent read and a good way to spend some down time.
