It's been more than a decade since the first Porsche High
Performance Driving Handbook" set the standard for getting the most

technology definitely has. This book, by the world's foremost
expert, takes that new technology into account as it gives readers
the latest information on how to drive a Porsche to its limit.
Once upon a time, the Can Am and Trans Am race series changed
their rules because Vic Elford and his Porsches were winning too
often. Here Quick Vic shares his insights into ride control
systems, new tire compounds, and Tiptronic and Direct-Shift Gearbox
transmissions, all of which have transformed the experience--and
the challenge--of driving a Porsche.
As he discusses recent models, ranging from new generations of the
911 to the whole-cloth inventions of the Boxster, Cayenne, Cayman S
and Carrera GT, modern images and historical photos immerse the
reader in both the history and the evolving technology that Vic
Elford knows like no one else.

Sharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all
workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the
majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of
the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from
the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder,
through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how
most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder
and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard
comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated
equipment. A lack of understanding of the processes almost
certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far
from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a
job well done. With the information in this book this situation can
be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the
past.
One of the most useful functions of a modern lathe is its ability
to cut any form of external or internal thread of any thread form,
pitch or diameter within the overall capacity of the machine.
Detailed information of a practical nature is, however, not easy to
find - a situation that this book does much to rectify. The author
was a very experienced engineer with the capability of converting
factual analyses into easily understood forms. His own expertise
and the standards to which he worked are evident in his writing,
and in addition he is also quite at home with both imperial and
metric measures having considerable experience in the conversions
required when working in partially metricated areas. This book is
not only an invaluable treatise on lathe screwcutting but is also a
useful demonstration of working in both imperial and metric
standards.
