I have the one on the upper left from Morgan, that one is very good.

Have you watched the DVD yet?

I have "Original Porsche" as well, that's a great book for the differences between cars. I also have another great book about porsche that covers the entire history and has more to do with the company. I don't remember what it was called though.

Brian Longs' book is excellent too. Lots of vintage 80s material, and historicals too. Loaded with rare photos all outlined chronologically, by model succession. Great factory engine shots, including a complete 944 NA parts spread too.

Zach: do you also own the Morgan 944 book? I have seen the Brian Long book on-line, but not read it. Really like the Morgan and Cotton 944 books... Think the B. Long 944 book is worth getting?

I've had the DVD for a couple of years. My wife bought it from the checkout line at Home Depot. It's OK. Nothing too exciting... was like $4.99 or something.

Any other DVD's you guys recommend? Cup racing or otherwise? Hard to find 944 exclusive DVD's or films...

I have a DVD Dan P. made of porsche commercials. It's pretty cool, I think he is selling them.

If i remember, amazon reviews said that dvd is the "worst porsche video ever...home made." But hey, at 5 bucks, i would have bought it too just to add to the collection
