I Have owned 2 porsches and am a big Porsche fan. This Add-on Was a lot of fun and went through the history of porsche and their significant models. my only complaint is that they didn't include the 996 model 911 in the expansion. It is by some a hated model of 911 but it quite literally saved the company from going under.

As a new-and completely uninformed-buyer looking for classic air-cooled Porsche 911s,this book is outstanding. Clear text combined with excellent photos will help anyone decide which !968-1973 911 is right for them and their budget. Each year and model is carefully described with both pros and cons,along with prepurchase inspection tips. Along with the solid information,is a number of anecdotes of the author's adventures(and candid mistakes)in purchasing a variety of these superb examples of rolling art. Armed with this book,I was able to find the perfect 1971 911T for my first Porsche. No matter what your level of Porsche expertise...BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Another great book from Car Tech. Informative and entertaining, every part is analyzed for function and techniques used to optimize it for better performance. Even push rods need special attention, who'd a thunk it. Weather you are building a killer race engine or the ultimate street machine, this book is a must use referance. And if you are a gear head who wants to better understand what goes on behind the scenes, why do succesful engine builders get the big bucks and are held in such high esteem; this book is for you. Thank you Mike!

I've read several books about Ducatis but this one in particular is very well done, the description of every single bike, the pictures on the details like tachometers, frames, engines, etc is very professional. The only thing I disliked is there are another models you should included in the book but other than that, I strongly recommend this book. Well done Chris, David and Peter.

Rare for a technical guide, this book is surprisingly well written. Rather than reading like a manual, the book tells the story of the Porsche 996. Every imaginable item about these cars is covered in detail and the thorough research is apparent. Additionally, there is a great DIY section which covers some basic and advanced maintenance and upgrades.

This is a must read for any 996 owner who wishes to know more about their car.

This is probably the first book on 911 that really, in my opinion, looks at the event from all angles, with no "sacred cows" when considering the suspects (the usual suspects, at that).  I enjoy the great collection of facts of what happened as well as tying these threads together with the backroom politics that led to the event, and even the consideration of esoteric factors.  Highly recommended read!

I loved Corvettes since very young and had a 2015 Corvette. This book is very well arranged and written. It goes over the people behind the Corvette, the ups/downs, design, engineering, competition, circumstances of the world, and much more. For any car lover, especially an American sports car fan, reading this book should be a to decompress at the end of the day (and forget about the stress of the world). It also serves as a handy reference for Vette collectors.

In this latest edition, events after 911 is depicted thus the updated book reflects new security trends and concerns after the terrifying 911. Packaging arrived in nice shrink wrapped, without any dents or scratches. A must have for those taking ASIS exams.

This book tells it like it was on 9/11. The authors tell about what various people in the tower were doing at the time of the attack, totally unsuspecting that their lives would be in extreme danger in only a few minutes. They tell the stories of survivors, many of whom had done heroic things to help other people trapped in the building. This is an eye opening look at what it was like to be there on 9/11. It is something I won't ever forget.

I bought a 1974 914-4 2.0 last year, and a copy of this book came with it, along with an exhaustive collection of parts and other books the owner gave me. This has proven to be an excellent way to get up to speed on the quirks of this car, as all Porsche models have their own little oddities that often take years of ownership to work out. I like working on my Porsches and this has proven an invaluable step in getting comfortable taking things off the car, fixing them and putting them back on. It's not as much a detailed how-to manual in the style of other books such as the factory manuals, Haynes and Chiltons books, but rather a good debugging tool, kind of like having a seasoned mechanic looking over your shoulder and saying, "Yep, ever' time it does that, it means the turn-signal switch is about to go", or, "Don't worry about that too much, they tend to do that all the time." I would definite suggest adding it to your collection if you own one of these fun little cars!

This book answers so many of the questions I had about 911. A MUST READ for all US citizens interested in knowing the truth about one of the most notorious, cold blooded false flag events ever perpetrated.

Whoa!!  I just received this book and it is one of the best Porsche related books to be released in a while.  The book covers Seinfeld's Gmuend coupe (on the cover), but the book is so much more than that.  As the title suggests, the book provides the history and origin of the Porsche automobile and Ludvigsen does this beautifully, with lovely detail and exquisite photos of people, documents, cars, etc.  Wow!  The book is done to a very high standard, printed on high quality paper.  There are wonderful sidebar pieces in the book by many who have been involved with the design of Porsches (e.g., Freeman Thomas and Tony Hatter, among others) as well as those involved in the restoration of Seinfeld's car.  Highest recommendation!!

I found this book clear and easy to read. I especially liked the OBD-II listing in the back, where I found my car with ease. The wireless music synching chapter was very cool, and so was the extensive list of resources in the back.

The book starts out with the basics: power, heat, cabling. Then there are "beginner" chapters which introduce you to different projects (computer, game system, dvd player). The "advanced" chapters build on those and get into the real nitty gritty of neat projects for cars.

All in all, a very well-rounded book, and the author is willing to help on his web site, where you can post questions and comments. He already responded to mine, so that's cool.

Excellent and informational. The photography throughout the book is outstanding, high-quality, and well framed. Many of the images have never been released to the public before. A very interesting read, informs about the history of the formation of Pontiac as well as exploration of different designs through the years. All of my personal cars have been Pontiacs, so it was neat to read about the history of the company and the vehicle designs. Who knew Pontiac made a Plexiglas car?

This is a terrific book for Porsche enthusiasts looking for a reason to dislike Lotus.  It details at length how every innovation credited to Lotus, both on the racetrack and on the road, were used more successfully by someone else long before Chapman discovered them.  The book then goes into specifics on the numerous failures suffered by the notoriously unsuccessful racing cars, in particular the formula one cars.  Many former Lotus F1 drivers are quoted expressing the fear and loathing they felt when they were forced to drive the cars.  Every real design and engineering failure, such as the queerbox or the Type 30, is harped upon in detail.  Ludvigsen has done the automotive world a great service, researching the history of this obscure and ultimately failed marque before it fades into obscurity.

I am mow going to take a lap around the block in my Colombo.
