The President’s ColumnNicolas Liakas

From The Editor’s DeskJohn Alfenito

Each region in this great country of ours

has its unique beauty and o!ers exciting and di!erent driving experiences. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to drive in 44 of our contiguous states, missing out on some of the Mid-Atlantic states, as well as Nebraska and Arkansas (to the best of my recollection). Most of these drives were conducted in a Porsche, ranging from the 1995 Guards Red 993 Cabriolet all the way to our current 2008 997 Black Turbo Cab. Now during October, I will once again be viewing the brilliant fall colors of the New England states, but unfortunately, not in a Porsche. I will be daydreaming, however, as to how di!erent the trip could have been in a Porsche, any Porsche. Here’s why.

Olga, our two daughters and I visited New England several years in the early fall, especially before the girls started attending school. During those trips, we explored many “roads less traveled” as I insisted on following secondary routes through the Green Mountains in Vermont, the Presidential Mountain Range in New Hampshire, or along the coast of Maine. I scheduled trips to coincide with county fairs, or to attend holy mass on a mountaintop in Vermont conducted by the friars of a seminary by the town of Weston. "e family was drenched by blazing fall colors, did not get distracted by Ben & Jerry’s or Green Mountain Co!ee Roasters, but did immerse itself in the history and beauty of New England. Still, there was something missing.

Before I could ever contemplate the ownership of a Porsche, I wondered as I made every turn or climbed every hill on those back roads what I could have felt as a Porsche driver. It may sound silly now, but the “Porsche experience,” for which there is no substitute, streamed by my imagination and daydreams. (Putting family and career #rst required that my dreams remained exactly that; reality prevailed.)

Regrettably, I will have to keep dreaming. "is October’s trip will be accomplished by driving a van as two other SBR couples will be joining Olga and me for the tour. A$er an almost 30-year absence, I truly look forward to returning to familiar, and enjoying new (to me), sights. However, not all is lost. "e tour will end in New York City, and I have made arrangements with my nephew to drive his 997 Cab in northern New Jersey for photo opportunities under the falling leaves. "erea$er, I can state that I drove in the fall colors that are admired by all. See? "e Porsche experience lives.

First of all, I would like to publicly thank David & Susan Stone for turning

my 66th birthday into a club event at the August 25th Progressive Dinner. Aided, no doubt, by my lovely wife, who spilled

the beans that it was my birthday, Dave & Susan commissioned the amazing Carrera GTS cake (see page 17) which replicates my car. Naturally, no one at the party wanted to cut into such a work of art, so Pam & I carefully brought it home. How was it? Let’s just say the grandkids had no compunctions about digging into Grandpa’s car cake. We had it down to the rims in no time! "anks again for making my birthday extra special this year.

Secondly, if you haven’t heard yet, Mike Pomerantz has stepped up and agreed to be editor of this #ne publication beginning with the January 2013 issue. Mike, whose Sir Speedy store in Oxnard was our printer for several years, is quite familiar with Der Auspu! and will make an excellent editor. I will happily assist Mike in any way I can until he tells me to stop bugging him. Seriously, I do plan to stay involved with the art direction and photography in our magazine, but I will happily turn over the day-to-day tasks to Mike sometime in December. "anks for stepping up, Mike. I know it seems daunting, but you will thoroughly enjoy being the new editor.

Camarillo Breakfast

Labor Day Weekend O! To A Running StartSTORY & PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO

September 1, 2012

Getting together on the !rst day of a long holiday weekend doesn’t get much better than this. It was nothing but clear skies and pleasant temperatures for our !rst breakfast

meeting of September as 112 members and guests arrived at the Way-Point Café in 70 Porsches.

"ose of us who arrived early were greeted by the unwelcome spray of the lawn sprinklers irrigating the grass adjacent to the patio. So, unable to park on the wet turf, cars scrambled to !ll in the spots on the tarmac. We’ve determined that it’s not the Way-Point folks who control the sprinklers; it’s the Airport management. Your board of directors will make an e#ort to change the airport’s lawn watering schedule in the future.

President Nicolas Liakas, back among us a$er some sick leave, welcomed everyone and introduced Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer to promote the lineup of future club events. As always, the full SBR activities calendar is in every issue of Der Auspu# as well as being available instantly via our website. Participation is limited at some gatherings, so be sure to sign up early for any event you’d like to attend.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling introduced new members Roger & Scotia Alves from Camarillo, who joined us for their !rst breakfast. Roger & Scotia have a 2011 Panamera.

Everyone who signed in at breakfast once again received a free ticket for our pre-concours drawing. Two winning numbers were drawn by Concours Chair Dick Douglass, and the recipients of $50 gi$ certi!cates from Lavaggio were Wendy Brown and George Owen. =

STORY & PHOTOS BY NICOLAS LIAKAS

Porsches, Volleyballs, & The U.S. Navy

September 8, 2012

Well, what do you know? !e SBR members and the lineup of gorgeous Porsches on the wharf were not the only major attractions for visitors and tourists

on September 8. !e professional beach volleyball tournament erected a huge tent-covered stadium on West Beach and would soon become the site of athletic, tanned bodies serving missiles to their equally toned opponents. Just o" shore was another muscular and potent sight, a guided missile destroyer of the U.S. Navy in port for the weekend. Still, the kaleidoscope of colors and shapes projected by our 19 Porsches (including two Cayennes) proudly displayed by our 34 attendees held their ground.

O#cers of the club made all of the obligatory announcements as usual. Among those in attendance were new members Kim Buha of !ousand Oaks, who drives a 2002 911 Carrera, and Richard Wyko" of Carpinteria, who owns a 2000 Boxster. We were pleased to host a friend of Joe Schneider, Jim Miller of Seattle.

Many of our members were attending other events today. !ree dozen or so participated in the detail clinic at Lavaggio in Agoura Hills, while 18 others were scheduled to take part over the weekend at the PCNA track event at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. I am sure all will have wonderful tales to pass on to the rest of us as they rejoin our breakfast meetings in October. =

PRE-CONCOURS DETAIL CLINIC AT LAVAGGIOSaturday, September 8, 2012

STORY BY DUSTIN TROYAN, LAVAGGIO MARKETING DIRECTOR

EVENT PHOTOS BY TED LIGHTHIZER

The sound of !nely tuned German automobiles echoed across the Santa Monica Mountains as 37

members of the Santa Barbara Region of the Porsche Club of America occupied the lovely Lavaggio parking lot in Agoura Hills. A tradition, now in its third year at Lavaggio, was about to commence, and there is one word that embodied the moment: passion.

A !ner car club may not exist. Of course, I am biased. "e passion and kindness that the club has shown me over the years has been endless, and I hold a special spot for it in my heart. I appreciate the club and the level of excellence that it illustrates. What a truly !ne group of individuals.

"e parking lot at Lavaggio was !lled with Ferdinand’s !nest, and it made the perfect

backdrop for the 2012 Pre-Concours Detail Clinic. Club members and guests were able to attend the event, and I believe every one of them had an outstanding time. Dick Douglass, who is chairing SBR’s Concours d’Elegance on October 14 in Santa Barbara, opened the meeting and kindly introduced Lydia Derian (Lavaggio General Manager) and me.

"e “partnership of passion” that exists between Lavaggio and SBR is deeply rooted in the elegant care of our Porsches. Lavaggio is even more fanatical than SBR members when it comes to the essence of automotive detailing, polishing and waxing. At Lavaggio, a “car wash” is truly a mini-detail. Our equipment can prepare a car for the most demanding concours detailing, including undercarriage and wheel cleaning.

"e well-considered demonstrations fully prepared the attendees for the October 14 Concours. Each participant appreciated

the processes and techniques employed by the experts at the clinic. "e demos ranged from proper equipment and products (towels, polishes, waxes, brushes) to how to inspect every nook and cranny to make certain that not a speck of dirt or residue will be found anywhere on the car once the detailing tasks are completed. Noteworthy, and a bit of a surprise, was the discussion of the human health issues that can be brought on by an unclean car – exterior and interior.

Speaking for myself, Lydia and Lavaggio, we have such a great time when the Santa Barbara Porsche Club is at our facility. "e level of sophistication, appreciation, positive energy, knowledge and passion all make for a wonderful day. We really don’t consider it work, more like hanging out with our extended car family. We hope that everyone who attended had a great time. I know we did! We encourage the tradition to continue, and we look forward to seeing you at the concours. =

It was a picture perfect day, and the Santa Barbara Region of PCA was enjoying three of the club’s favorite pastimes: driving Porsches, good food, and camaraderie. Our region has been holding a Progressive Dinner, combined with a spirited drive on winding roads, since the late 1960s. !e

event includes stops at a member’s home for a "rst course of salads and appetizers, then on to a "ne restaurant for the main meal, and a "nal stop at a di#erent member’s home for desserts and co#ee. Let’s begin.

On Saturday, August 25, 2012, 79 SBR members driving 40 Porsches gathered for check-in and the start of this year’s Progressive Dinner. !ere were many di#erent Porsche models represented, from Wayne Greko’s concours winning 1973 Porsche 911 RSR to Bob Wulf ’s 2013 Porsche 911 model 991. Plus a Cayenne, a

Panamera along with many di#erent Boxster and Cayman models were all in the group. Many of the Cabriolet drivers went “topless” enjoying the perfect So-Cal weather. A$er the drivers’ meeting, we were ready to start the 50-mile tour. Our journey would include stops at two members’ homes, and dinner at the Sa"re Grill in Camarillo. Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow, the club’s Activities Co-Chairs, led the group on the "rst 33 miles of our drive which took us from Westlake Village through the Santa Monica foothills via Potrero Road to Hueneme and Wood Road and then over the freeway to the Camarillo Spanish Hills, ending at the residence of Robert & Kathleen Wulf, our "rst stop.

At the Wulfs’ home, we were treated to a delicious variety of salads and appetizers including Caesar, spinach and fruit salads, fresh shrimp, meatballs, pot stickers, and trays of cheese and fresh vegetables. Our hosts graciously let us tour at will their beautiful custom home, which was designed by the renowned architect, Marshall Lewis, of Marina del Rey. Highlighting the dramatic

Our wonderful hosts for the !rst course: Bob & Kathleen Wulf. Susan & David Stone hosted our third course.

Our favorite marque got the tasty treatment at Stones’ house as part of the delicious cavalcade of unique cakes.

Several custom cakes !lled the dessert table at David & Susan Stone’s, including one featuring the PCA logo.


architecture were the beautiful and colorful paintings, sculptures and other art works the Wulfs have collected over the years on their trips to interesting places around the globe. !e Wulfs’ garage also attracted attention as it contained a stunning collection of cars including a 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi, 1997 Aston Martin DB-7, 2001 Bentley Amage, 2008 Ford Mustang “Bullitt” model, 2009 Dodge Challenger, 2003 Mini Cooper S, a 1989 VW Westphalia camper van and, of course, the brand new 2013 Porsche 911 Model 991. A"er we completed our tours of the home and garage, the group was o# on the second leg of the event, a ten-mile drive through Spanish Hills and the back roads of Camarillo to the Sa$re Grill. !e entrées included fresh broiled Paci$c salmon, New York steak, shrimp scampi, baked chicken and chicken parmesan served with the usual accompaniments. Yummy!

A"er enjoying a sumptuous meal, we drove three miles to our $nal destination, the home of Dave & Susan Stone. Once inside, we were treated to four beautifully decorated and decadently delicious cakes, all in Porsche themes. One was modeled a"er John Alfenito’s Carrera GTS including a license plate reading “#1 EDITOR” in honor of his birthday. A"er we all sang a loud

rendition of “Happy Birthday,” John, along with other volunteers, began to cut and serve the cakes. We le" John’s replica birthday cake intact, but put a big dent in the other three, which included a spice cake with a Porsche crest embossed on top, a chocolate marble cake with the SBR logo, and a lemon cake with the PCA logo. Susan made a delicious variety of homemade cookies and also o#ered an assortment of fresh fruit.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Stones’ beautiful home and magni$cent back yard. Dave & Susan had their lawns and %ower beds manicured to perfection with lots of inviting areas for people to sit and enjoy some conversation and the cool, comfortable evening temperatures. It was a perfect end to another fun-$lled, memorable SBR event.

!e group’s sincere thanks go out to our hosts: Bob & Kathleen Wulf and Dave & Susan Stone. We greatly appreciate their generosity, warm hospitality and the sharing of their lovely homes. !eir e#orts helped to make our 2012 Progressive Dinner one of the best yet. If you are interested in being a host home for next year’s event, please contact Ted or Doreen. =

On Sunday, September 9, 2012, my son Chris and I arrived at the sprawling Auto Club Speedway in Fontana,

California, with high hopes and more than a bit of nervous energy. Yes, this was the much anticipated September 7-9, 2012, Porsche World Roadshow . !e real deal with fast, beautiful Porsches, certi"ed Porsche instructors, and the constant exhaust roar from NASCAR racers circling the outer track throughout the day. Wow. What could be better?

Upon arrival, we registered, grabbed a blueberry mu#n, chugged a bottle of water and wandered around asking questions and enjoying the elegance and the technology. A beautiful loaded Panamera sat in the center of the registration center, many beautiful Porsches were to be seen everywhere, including 991s, and two XBox 360 simulation driving machines were available to test our make-believe skills. Well, my simulation experience was a bit daunting. For starters, I launched the

PORSCHE WORLD ROADSHOWAUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY, FONTANA - SEPTEMBER 9, 2012

STORY BY SCOTT NELSONEVENT PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE

Porsche over an embankment in the Alps and ended up driving backwards or the wrong way, a$er which one of the Porsche guys said he hoped this wasn’t my real driving style, although someone chimed in that the steering was indeed a bit sensitive. Yes, it was.

Before the driving started, Michelle Juzeszyn, Manager of Event Marketing and Sponsorship, PCNA, was kind enough to brief me on this tremendous program. !ere are 13 U.S. events starting in June in New York, then on to other cities including Los Angeles, then ending in Charlotte, NC. She emphasized that the best way to experience a Porsche is to drive one - and I couldn’t agree more. On this day, there were four sessions of about 66 drivers each, including, I’m sure, some from our Santa Barbara club. !e whole experience lasted about three hours.

When our time came, our group "led into the classroom where instructors from the Porsche Sport Driving School at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama, delivered a fascinating short course on cornering dynamics, apexes, speed = radius, driving positions, and

safety. !ere was not a yawn in our group.

!en we headed out into the searing, triple-digit heat for our baptism by "re – the real deal. First, we drove the new Boxster S through the autocross, a scaled down track with a series of tight, technical corners. !is included heart thumping acceleration, hammer braking, and tricky turns. I must admit that a few pylons were %attened. !en o& to the Technology Drive where we “experienced” the hybrid-drive Panamera and the Cayenne models along with their V8 powered counterparts. And who says “green” can’t be fun? And fast. Very fast.

Finally, we did the big one on the “real” track. We could tell the Porsche folks were dead serious when we were issued race helmets and thoroughly re-briefed about absolute safety and rock-hard track etiquette. No fooling around here and no passing. !e Carrera, the Carrera S, and the Panamera GTS were lined up waiting for us. Upon command, we hurtled around the track alternatively in each of those modern- day rockets, formed in a procession of sorts led by a certi"ed driver.

Continued on page 20

The entire porschefamily was there


Now, this wasn’t an experience for the weak of heart or Sunday drivers. We tried to follow the instructor’s lines through the demanding turns and maximize performance. !e start was mind-boggling acceleration for a short distance, then into a serious turn section and onto a long straightaway where I was reluctant to do anything but hold on, let alone look at the speedometer. !at ended abruptly into more complicated turns where I met my match and I realized my son Chris was screaming for good reason. Once we stopped - "nally - the instructor somberly

approached me and asked good-naturedly but a bit sarcastically, “Who did the dust?”

Regardless, each of the wider, longer, lower, more powerful Porsches performed magni"cently. !e PDK, the Sports Plus, the Torque Vectoring, the PASM, the ABS, the ASR, the air conditioner for sure, ad in"nitum, did not let us down, but of course the innovative start-stop and coasting functions were turned o# waiting for a more gentle day. Nevertheless, we know that even Porsches do not drive themselves, but for sure they are to be driven.

And I must cite a lesson learned: Don’t go too fast too soon, but if you must, do so in a Porsche. !ey are elegantly beautiful. !ey are technically without peer, and as the Porsche 991 Owner’s Manual instructs: “Don’t open the sunroof when exceeding 120 mph.”

!anks to the Santa Barbara Region/PCA and PCNA for such a terri"c event. If you are interested in pictures and more detail, go to porscheworldroadshowusa.com/media, and enjoy your Der Auspu# magazine. =

The Tech Page

YOUR TECH QUESTIONS ANSWEREDBY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS

For this month’s tech article, I’d like to answer some frequently asked questions that I get here at the shop. I would also encourage

any readers of Der Auspu! to submit any technical questions to me at [email protected]. I will answer all questions and, who knows, yours could be printed right here in a future issue!

Q1: My 2006 Porsche is not my daily driver. Should I lock the car while it is parked in the garage or leave it unlocked? Which is better for the battery?

When a modern Porsche is locked with the key remote, the drain on the battery will be slightly greater due to the radio antenna circuit in the alarm system being kept awake to monitor for remote signals. For this reason, the remote locking feature is automatically disabled a"er 5 days to

prevent discharging of the battery. #e car will then need to be unlocked manually with the key blade in the door.

To answer the question, if the car sits o"en but usually not for more than 5 days, it may be prudent to leave the car unlocked as the battery will not discharge quite as much. However, I recommend using a modern digital battery trickle charger on any car that sits parked more o"en than it is driven. #e battery will last much longer, and the nuisance of dealing with a dead battery on a modern Porsche as outlined in my March 2012 article will be avoided.

Q2: If I am not putting enough miles on my car annually to follow Porsche’s recommended service intervals, what do you suggest for service? Should the oil be changed annually regardless of mileage?

We always recommend annual oil changes on any car, regardless of mileage. #e additives in any engine oil have a shelf life and can wear out, reducing their e!ectiveness. Water also accumulates in the crankcase of the engine and can react with the oil over the long term, possibly forming sludge if the oil is changed infrequently enough.

#e brake $uid should be changed every 2 years on any car regardless of mileage, as brake $uid absorbs water from the air.

Q3: I’m considering the purchase of a used Porsche. What can I expect to pay a shop to perform a pre-purchase inspection for me? Does Schneider Autohaus o!er pre-purchase inspections?

It is strongly recommended to have a Porsche specialist thoroughly inspect any pre-owned car. Potential mechanical problems can be identi%ed, and any

accident damage or paintwork can usually be detected by a sharp eye. At Schneider Autohaus, we typically spend 1 to 2 hours on a pre-purchase inspection, depending on the age and mileage of the car. It is likely not necessary to remove the spark plugs and perform a compression check or cylinder leakdown test on a two-year-old car with low mileage, but these engine checks are vital on older cars to determine the health of the engine.

We also check the function of all electrical components and perform a full computer system scan on the newer cars. A full written report is also provided.

Labor charges at Schneider Autohaus are $135 per hour, so a two-hour PPI would cost $270.00.

Q4: Why does my 2005 Boxster cough a little blue smoke on start up? It does not happen every time, but I know other Boxster owners who report the same phenomenon.

#e Boxster has a horizontally opposed, “boxer” engine cylinder layout like that of many of its Porsche brethren. #is means that the cylinders lay $at and parallel to the ground. When the car sits for a few days, most of the engine oil accumulates in the oil sump at the bottom of the engine. In some cases and when the oil level is high enough, some oil can seep from the crankcase and into the horizontal cylinders. If any oil gets past the piston rings, it will be burned in the combustion chamber immediately a"er the next engine startup, causing a pu! of bluish oil smoke from the tailpipes. #is is completely normal in any boxer engine and should not cause alarm if it is occasional or only happens a"er the car has been sitting for a few days.

However, if a Boxster, Cayman, 996 or 997 suddenly starts spewing a large amount of bluish oil smoke on startup, it may be a sign of a problem with the crankcase ventilation system. #ere is a device on the engine known as the air/oil separator that is tasked with helping to vent crankcase pressure back into the engine’s intake system. #e

tricklecharger


Chris Andropoulos is the Service Manager and a technician at Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara (a Der Auspu! advertiser). Chris is a lifelong Porsche “nut” and is fascinated with and knowledgeable about all Porsches, from 356s to the latest GT3s. When he’s not racing his daily-driven 944 Turbo at PCA and POC track events, he can be found enjoying the beaches, ocean, and mountains of beautiful Santa Barbara.

oil separator has a built-in crankcase vent valve that contains a spring-loaded rubber diaphragm to prevent engine oil from being drawn into the intake system. It is common for this rubber diaphragm to tear with age and mileage, which causes excess oil to be ingested and burned in the engine.

!e "rst sign of crankcase vent valve/oil separator failure is usually excessive smoking only on startup, but the problem can quickly escalate on the mid-engine Boxster and Cayman models due to di#erent breather hose routing than that of the the rear engine 996s and 997s. If heavy smoking from the exhaust suddenly occurs in a Boxster or Cayman, stop the engine as soon as possible and get a tow to a Porsche specialist. When the crankcase vent valve fails on a Boxster or Cayman, the engine can ingest enough oil to hydro-lock and damage the engine! A$er the failed oil separator is replaced, the center intake pipes should be removed to clean out any excess oil. If le$ unchecked, this oil can coat the oxygen sensors and catalytic converters in the exhaust and cause premature failure. In extreme cases, the exhaust system needs to be removed in order to clean out all of the oil. On the 2005 and later 987 models, the mass air%ow sensor sits in at a low point in the intake pipe compared to earlier models and o$en needs replacement a$er oil separator failure due to oil contamination.

Crankcase vent valve/oil separator failure on the water cooled 996 and 997 series 911s can be a bit more insidious since the failure

does not o$en result in sudden and massive oil ingestion. !e exhaust usually only smokes excessively on startup, and the "rst symptom is o$en a “check engine” light caused by a lean running condition due to a large vacuum leak from the crankcase to the engine intake. Rough running, heavy oil

A competent Porsche repair facility can easily and quickly measure the crankcase vacuum on any engine to determine the health of the crankcase ventilation system and prevent any future issues. =

The P.M.S. Report

The Adventures of Ladies In Lotusland

On September 15, 2012, our group of 17 women visited Lotusland in Montecito, the botanical wonder and former home of Madame Ganna Walska. Madame Walska was

a well-known Polish opera singer and socialite. She purchased the estate in 1941 and spent the next 43 years of her life designing unusual display gardens !lled with exotic plants.

Even though the weather on the day of our visit was very warm, we had a nice breeze as we toured the gardens. Our group split in two, each led by a very knowledgeable and interesting docent. Our docent, Craig Morgan, happened to be a fellow Porsche enthusiast. He is currently rebuilding a cocoa brown, 1967 Porsche 912. During the course of our tour, he would ask us, “What’s better than a 911?” "e answer, “A 912”. He really got a kick out of that.

As we toured parts of the 37 acres, we went through beautiful fern, Japanese, cactus and butter#y gardens. Other features were

STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN TUREK

water stairs, a horticultural clock, Neptune fountain, and koi ponds. We saw beautiful water lilies, and of course the famous lotus in bloom. We really learned a lot about the sexual reproduction of the cycads and many other plants. Some were quite obviously male plants; the female plants not quite so obvious.

"e story of Madame Walska was also very interesting. She was married six times. Her husbands were among the wealthiest men in the world. A$er divorcing husband number six, she continued to purchase extremely rare plants, selling her 95-carat yellow diamond (!) as well as her cherished Faberge egg to !nance her hobby.

A$er a pleasant and informative two-hour walking tour, we headed over to Stella Mare’s for some French Cuisine. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and conversation. "anks to Pamuela Hodson for planning our fun day. =

Where’s The Sport Button Again?

When The Auto Gallery was kind enough to bring a brand new Pagani Huayra to the Detail Clinic last month, it was hard not to stare.

The Huayra boasts a V-12 Bi-Turbo, 720 HP engine which will reportedly propel the car to a top speed of 235 mph.

While the car itself is “poetry in motion,” take a look at the steering wheel with all its buttons and switches. Truly amazing!

Thanks to Ted Lighthizer for this picture of an interior that borders on “steampunk!”
