Pitstop Paul Posted 16July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16July, 2013 Nice work Are you going to be getting onto apples Newstand by any chance ? Eventually, I guess. Seeing as this one's a freebie and we've put it together in our spare time (well, I finished it at 1am this morning...) don't expect it to be there tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitstop Paul Posted 16July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16July, 2013 Here's the link: http://porschemotoring.com/issues/ for viewing on PC / laptop / tablet. For a PDF download we're going to upload it to another viewer, however it will only permit viewing on a PC / laptop so you'll need to view on one of those first to download the PDF. I suggest having a look now via the PC / tablet friendly option above, and waiting a day for the other option to become available. As a first issue I'll leave it up to you to decide what you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Cheers, but you know it didn't take too long for someone to find a major boo boo. I forgot to change the content page numbers (but what do you expect at 1am in the morning when I finished it) and... well, let's just say I forgot to include a 928 S4 trophy winner. Nothing personal - just forgot! Can't mention everyone, but I really should have mentioned this guy. Really sorry 'bout that! I had over 1000 pics to go through and the mind's a blur. Try and make it up in issue 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 17July, 2013 Report Share Posted 17July, 2013 +2 Way better than I was expecting, and from Brisbane as well, now just have to figure a way to print it, so i can take it to bed. No not for that just reading........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatSix Posted 17July, 2013 Report Share Posted 17July, 2013 Congrats on the first issue! I had a quick flick through and it looks great. Looking forward on reading up on what I missed at rennsport.

Don't tempt me LOL. I need a few bits for the 356.... At least you can view it on an iPad, which is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitstop Paul Posted 17July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 17July, 2013 Gotta tell you that I've sorted the PDF download. Go to the mag website and click on the Issues tab. Make sure you're on a PC - the part you need for downloads will not work on a tablet. On the new page scroll down until you come to the joomag option (i.e. bypass the issuu moving mag). Select to read the joomag version. Once opened you can download the PDF from there. issuu only permits 25 free downloads, whereas joomags are in for a shock!

Wobbly Posted 17July, 2013 Report Share Posted 17July, 2013 To read disconnected on a tablet you can always click the download link on a PC, copy the link it goes to @ joomag and then email that link to yourself and tap on it on your ipad/whatever. Then if you have a reader like goodreader or similar you can save it in that and read offline to your hearts content Great first mag too btw!!

Pitstop Paul Posted 18July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 18July, 2013 Well... What a crazy 24 hours. What a crazy 48 hours! You see, just before PMA went live, so did our other mag Aircooled Classics - VW & Porsche, which took us completely by surprise. We'd changed app developers for AC-VW&P and with the old app developers we'd expect a 2 week wait after submission. This time we got 24 hours! AC-VW&P is mostly a classic VW mag with a little (old and new) Porsche thrown in. It's very different to PMA in terms of design, content and size. If you're interested take a look at www.aircooledclassicsmagazine.com and view some content. The mag's only a few dollars to buy with its own app and it's huge compared to PMA! I design and edit that one and it's a lot of work. PMA has definitely struck a chord - and the right one too. To give you an idea, we've had ideas and feedback from all over the world yesterday and this morning, but the key now is to build the mag up with a strong Australian footing. It is, after all, an Australian magazine. Guys, I want to thank you all for your support, particularly Kerry, owner and admin dude / 'head honcho' at PFA who didn't know me from Adam when I first came on here. I can tell you now that I haven't been onto another forum anywhere on the planet to spruik the mag. I will, I'm sure, get around to it (in the name of business), but PFA feels like home and I want to cultivate that relationship with members and members' cars. I'm based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. about 100ks north of Brisbane in the village of Montville, about 30 mins from the coast. Clearly I don't get out much (LOL) so if you're handy with stringing sentences together and/or can use a camera in your free time, please don't hesitate to send me stuff to layout in future issues. Anyone local to me who wants to give me a passenger ride in something exotic I'd be delighted to accept (camera in hand) and promise to return the favour in my own semi-Outlaw 356 when it's roadworthy. I might even chuck you the keys. The mag email address is pma@porschemotoring.com and if you could each send me a pic of your car and a little info I'll begin with a feature about PFA in issue 2. Thanks guys, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 18July, 2013 Report Share Posted 18July, 2013 this magazine is great! just the other day after reading one of my favourite free hobby magazines I was thinking that something similar could apply to Porsches Great work Paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 18July, 2013 Report Share Posted 18July, 2013 Great work Paul and was very happy to see the 924 article on page 60-61 you have a caption that says the red 928 S4 in back ground will be featured in a future article but the car in back ground is a red 944. I'd be happy to read an article on either car but just figured I'd point out the small error peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitstop Paul Posted 18July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 18July, 2013 Bugger. My eyesight is poor. I just used my general sense of direction (which is diabolical) to place myself in the grounds and thought it was the car in question. Oooops. If you don't tell, I won't... Doh! Anyway, thanks for the pat on the back. At least the 924 feature did it for you, which is brill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB911 Posted 18July, 2013 Report Share Posted 18July, 2013 Great mag Paul, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to some 944's in there, maybe an article about how their prices are due to rise sharply in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
