Got mine yesterday and took it home with the intention of a quick thumb through last night but I actually ended up reading a load of it as it was so engaging. I particularly like the pages on driving the car - as someone with no track experience, it was really interesting to get some insight into the cars handling idiosyncrasies and the dos and don'ts of driving it. I also liked the Ferrari 328 comparison.
One point of contention though, that the 3.2s boot "will hold a remarkable amount of luggage". I remember reading in Paul Frere's book that the original design brief included the ability to get a set of golf clubs in the boot but I'll be b****red if I can get mine in. I have to say that, as someone who drives their Carrera as daily transport, this is the one theing that has me peeking at Imprezas and the like in the pages of Autotrader - only a brief flirtation though before I remember what I'd be missing.
So thanks for the book and especially all of those beautiful pictures that brighten up our lounge coffee table - I can see me thumbing through for years to come.
Already owned a Silver 1987 3.2 Carrera Sport Coupe, sold it for a Silver 993 C4 Coupe (what was I thinking!!!!!!)
So now looking for another Silver 3.2 Carrera Sport Coupe.
The book will have to keep me happy until I find the right car

Previously, early 90's, owned a 924 but I bought a Narrowboat, had two other cars anyway, it wasn't terribly practical at that time and it wasn't getting used, so I sold it.

I've got a veritable library of Porsche books - varying from the outstanding (ie Carrera RS by Gruber & Konradsheim) to the mundane.
However, I would categorise Tony's book as excellent. If you've got a 3.2 Carrera you should get a copy. If you haven't, and you buy the book, you'll want one.
