President’s MessageStory by Gordon Williams

Happy New Year to all,What a great year 2012 was! We had many new activities and record setting turn out for many of our events, which will make 2012 the year to try to match.

First of all, congratulations to Monica Asbury, Gary Labb and Ken Fredrickson who were all elected to your board of directors for a two year term. We could not do it without them.

Second, thanks to Maryann, Peggy and Toni for a great Christmas Harbor

Cruise! I enjoyed it as much, if not more, than any event I have attended to date. I hope we can repeat it next year. Also, our Toys for Tots with the Marines of 514 was a big success and we are already planning on repeating and expanding that activity next year. OORAH!

This New Year’s success will depend on how many of you will volunteer for an event or activity. We are in desperate need of a Concours chair for 2013, so please let us know if you can chair that committee. It would be great to have an AutoX person step up for the event so that we might more effectively reach out to that group for Concours participation. Beyond that, we need folks to lead a tour to a destination of their choice to help increase our tour activities for 2013. To all of you who

enjoy our activities, remember they can’t continue without your leadership. Lead one activity and help your club continue the success that you yourself have enjoyed.

A personal thanks to all of our volunteers that participated in our 2012 activities. You are what makes this club so enjoyable.

I will be in Kenya for the last two weeks of January volunteering with a mobile medical clinic that works in the villages that don’t have access to proper medical care. I’m sure that I will have some interesting experiences to share upon my return. In closing, I’ve enjoyed all of our members and associates this year and I look forward to an even better 2013. Remember to say thank you to one of our volunteers this month and I’ll see you in February!

See you on the road!Gordo

Editor’s NotesStory by Garey Cooper

(Continued on Page 32)

That Ribbon of Highway2013 is here and with us now; 2012 has gone. A whole new year in which to play and stay with your friends on that ribbon of highway, from “This Land is Your Land”. It is my fervent hope that in 2013 I’ll see less of the skies over

America and instead much more of the roads below. Blanche Bickerson is rarin’ to go and so am I... and so, I hope, are you.

It’s Your ClubThis year will be the first in a long while that I am not serving on the Board for the Orange Coast Region. My term is up and my schedule will have enough chaos left in it yet that I couldn’t really do justice to what needs to be done. But, I urge your involvement, as this would be a wonderful time to step forward and be a more

involved part of a truly great car club. The normal way people get involved is to start attending the Board Meetings, which are conveniently scheduled after our 1st Saturday of the month Breakfast Club meetings at “Original Mikes’’ in Santa Ana. There is always something that needs TLC to be done. It’s a great

way to meet the doers in the club and get acquainted with the organization and the names behind it. It is a great way to pay a little back and also a great way to be on the inside of the activities. I am proud of the friendships I’ve made along the way, as I hope that others have been happy to know me. These life experiences are much better than any you’ll find at the mall.

The Christmas CruiseYou’ll read elsewhere about the Christmas Cruise holiday gathering. I am sure it was a great time and a tradition for the club going back over many years to stage such a holiday party. It is a small break with tradition to have it in the afternoon rather than an evening party, but a fun new thought to go out on the water with our crew.

A great new charity event for our club was this year’s “Toys for Tots” hosted by the U.S. Marines. Early in the event planning, it was decided to caravan from our normal monthly Krispy Kreme Gathering in Orange over to the Toys for Tots event at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Huntington Beach. Many members showed up by 8:30 am to participate in our usual donuts and coffee and to stand in the parking lot and talk about cars, cars, and cars...

Some of our participants brought toys but couldn’t caravan with us to the Toys for Tots event so they asked us to deliver their toys. The group of colorful Porsches traveled the 22 Freeway to Valley View, then headed towards the beach. Among the group were Denny & Monica Asbury, using this as an excuse to fire up the 930 and blast over to Bolsa Chica State Beach to support our admired service men and their special charity. Denny caravanned with an old friend in a BMW (sorry he didn’t know any better) but since he wanted to contribute to the cause, they let him join our superior German machines. There was a little panic when a steady red light was approaching in the #2 lane as we were exiting the freeway, but the police car continued eastbound without bothering us. Greg Lush said something about it being a “plain unit” that was playing with us. About 30 Porsches, from all different eras, pulled into the parking area at the far northern end of Bolsa Chica State Beach and had the Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines there as their welcoming committee.

The Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines were happy to provide a display of some of their equipment for the members of the OCR as part of their toy run to benefit Toys for Tots. The Marines brought out a 7-ton truck towing an M777A2 howitzer artillery piece. They also brought out an armored Humvee, and several machine guns with which members could enjoy & get up and personal, Sgt. Darby, the howitzer section chief, gave a class about the howitzer and the ammunition that is used, and how the Marines use the weapon to provide long-range fire support. The club members enjoyed seeing the equipment up close and talking to the Marines, many of whom had just returned from a six month deployment to Okinawa, Japan. The Marines in turn loved seeing the fast cars and talking to the members about their Porsches.

Our members donated lots of gifts that helped stuff the Toys for Tots boxes provided by the Marines. Over the next few hours, even more Porsches pulled into the parking lot and off-loaded more toys.

More than six boxes of toys, and over 300 dollars, were collected for the Toys for Tots program, which the Marines distribute to underprivileged children in Orange County. A great time was had by all, and the Marines hope to have an even bigger event next year!

PCA OCR sends a huge Thank you to Major Andy Roberts and the Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines for providing the displays and the great conversation.

Winding Roads and WineStory by Greg Heinlein

Sheriff Bob never fails to lay down the rules. and you better follow them!


What is it about autumn? We all feel it: a promise of the holiday season just around the corner, time spent with family, breaking out the wool sweaters once again, the snap in the air, the smell of a fireplace somewhere vaguely in the distance wafting along on a fall breeze. Or if it’s the first weekend in November near Paso Robles, more likely a 60 mph wind slipstreaming over a line of pristinely polished Porsches roaring toward a winery somewhere in the countryside of San Luis Obispo County.

41 cars arrived Friday afternoon and evening, and eager participants gassed up their “blitz wagens” for the start of Saturday’s thrill ride, a chance to remember what a Porsche is truly all about. Friday night presented us with a tasting in the hotel lobby of varietals from the Pear Valley winery. After the tasting we strolled into the hotel’s dining room

for a fabulous BBQ dinner and a chance to renew acquaintances with club members; some of whom we hadn’t seen since last November’s trip.

Such a warm and wonderful group too, united as we are by a shared love of incredible automobiles, delicious wines and leisurely bonhomie. It was an early night as Sheriff Bob said we needed to assemble Saturday at 8 am sharp for the drivers meeting

and an 8:30 departure. The drive to the first winery, Daou,

was listed in the information sheet as a 77.7 mile jaunt. From past experience we knew that Daou was most likely no more than a 5 mile trip from the hotel. But as we all know, driving a Porsche the long way over narrow twisting roads is often the very best way to go.

In past years we had seen some sprinkles, but this time the weather cooperated and, while overcast, was dry and pleasantly cool. Our intrepid leader formed us up, got into his 1963 356B coupe, and off we went, out to highway 46, right turn, down through town, and up into the hills. The group got a bit spread out but in this age of ready cell phones, it really wasn’t a problem.

Hairpin turns followed by half-mile stretches of flat open roads in farm country; just the tonic for relief from work-a-day humdrum. After about an

hour we passed a guy walking on the side of the road and Margaret said, “Hey we passed that guy 30 minutes ago, are we going over the same ground again?”

Sure enough, the entrance ramp to Highway 101 suddenly loomed large in front of us, and our line of rockets roared onto it. As the Sheriff explained later, he took a wrong turn somewhere and we had a deadline to meet at Daou.

What a gorgeous winery, 10 acres perched atop a 2,200-foot knoll. Some felt the tasting was a bit pricey; however the wines were not bad.

After tastings, a stroll around the grounds and a pause for our group photo,

off we went to Pasolivo, for an olive oil tasting. While there, we had a chance to look at some of the cars on our run: Tom and Sue Calvert’s blue metallic 924 turbo. You won’t often see a finer example of this model.

There were many “911” turbos of varying vintages, including Randy and Katie Hargrave’s neon green ‘07, and Jim and Pat Wehner’s ‘08 that was a dynamic shade of orange. Bob’s 1963 aforementioned coupe is always a showstopper with his and Judy’s names in script over their respective doors and the well-traveled suitcase on the luggage rack over the rear-deck.

A History of Porsches Story by Bruce Herrington

Feature Article:


“How do you like your Por-sche,” said a voice over my shoulder. Wow, I thought, this guy knows how to pronounce Porsche. “Does the rear engine give you any problems in the snow?” he continued. Wow,” I said, “you really know your Porsches”. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I have some friends at my house right now who like Porsches. Why don’t you come join us?” So I followed a brown Ford station wagon to what turned out to be the December, 1960 meeting of the Potomac Region Board of Directors at the home of Bill Sholar, the founder of PCA. Needless to say, after a couple drinks, I joined PCA on the spot.

I had gotten turned on to Porsches from reading Road & Track, my folks buying a VW Beetle as an economical second car and hanging around the race track at Watkins Glenn, drooling over Roger Penske’s and Bob Holbert’s RSKs. In those days the facilities at The Glen were pretty crude by modern standards. Even Stirling Moss would come race from an unpaved paddock, using porta-poties just like the rest of us. Being able to look into the cockpits of the RSKs of both Bob Holbert and Roger Penske as they warmed up their engines, gave me an enthusiasm for the RSK that has never died.

I acquired my split-windshield 1951 Porsche Coupe in 1959 by swapping-even with a guy who was moving from upstate New York to Florida and needed the extra carrying capacity of my Beetle. Then a year later when I took a job

with an R&D firm in Washington, DC, I almost wished I had the Beetle back but the Porsche was a real joy to have on weekend commutes back home through the mountains of Pennsylvania.

I attended the 1961 “VI Parade” in the Berkshire Mountains of New England. The autocross used the entire track at Lime Rock. Since I was a ‘novice’ driver, I was not allowed on the track without some ‘instruction’. On the very first lap, my instructor spun us off into the dirt at the bottom of the big hill before the start-finish straight. No damage to the car. When I got to drive, I kept it on the pavement. Another memorable experience from that Parade was my being drafted on the morning of the Rally to fill in for a sick Navigator. I worked hard only to find that the driver got a trophy, but not the navigator. To add insult to injury, the official records still show the driver’s wife as the navigator of the 3rd place car.

In 1964 I bought an SCCA E-Prod Speedster, retrofitted with a ‘street’ engine. I converted it back to street configuration (basically wipers and headlights) and drove it around Northern Virginia. My next Porsche was a ‘59 Coupe that I used as a daily driver after I moved to Southern California leaving the Speedster in Virginia. California driving was really different from what I had experienced in the DC area. Much more aggressive and the then-empty freeways were a real joy. That too was

the era where on any Sunday one was bound to find a Parking Lot Autocross without even trying.

I sold the ‘59 when I was relocated back to DC. I retrieved the Speedster, which now had rust holes in the floor pan from a couple years of outside storage in rainy, humid northern Virginia. Through Pano, I ordered a new full-bellypan for a 356A. When I finally had the pan installed, it turned out to be a B pan, not an A. Since the car had already been equipped with B brakes (and vented backing plates) for racing, and since the shifter mounting point on the B transmission tunnel was so much handier than the long reach to the A shifter, I decided to go whole hog – B steering wheel, B shift lever, B- transmission and finally ‘58 B engine with the big oil thermostat. I believe it is the only ‘B Speedster’ in captivity.

The Speedster has been used as a commuting car, daily driver, an autocross car, and as a racecar with VARA and HRG Hill-climbs. I even lent it to my step-son who, for over a year, drove it daily from El Toro to Coto de Caza, back when El Toro Road was two lane all the way from Trabuco Rd to Live Oak Canyon/Trabuco Canyon Road. A real Porsche road all the way to and beyond the Plano Trabuco gate.

During one of my moves back and forth between metro-DC and metro-LA, my ‘51 coupe got very badly damaged.

The Autocross Secret Auto-X Corner:

This article is going to reveal one of the best-kept secrets about Autocross, but before we discuss this secret, I have a couple of questions for you.

How did you learn how to drive? Do you think you are a good driver? How did you become a good driver?

There are several ways we can all learn the art of driving. If you are like most people, you studied the rules of the road and practiced countless hours to get your drivers license. But what have you done to improve your driving skills in all the years after you received your driver’s license? Most everyone simply relies on their day-to-day driving experience to improve the skills necessary to keep themselves and their families safe on the road. Unfortunately, without the proper instruction and without the ability to successfully perform and practice the extreme maneuvers necessary to push you and your Porsche to the limit, you will not know how to handle your Porsche when mayhem strikes.

Interesting fact #1: Did you know that if you ask any group of driver, over 95% would tell you they are a “good” to “very good” driver? Would you agree with that statistic?

There is a very small percent of the driving population that will work to improve their driving skills by attending a performance driving school. These

schools run the spectrum of teaching the basics of car control all the way up to obtaining a competition license. Companies like the Bob Bondurant School of Performance driving, located in Arizona, offer one to three day courses that can run up to $4,500, plus hotel. Porsche also offers a Sport Driving School. This awesome driving experience is held at the Barbers Motorsports Park just outside of Birmingham Alabama. The Porsche Driving School offers courses that start at $1,800 and run as high as $10,000. Add in the time and cost of travel and it’s no wonder why most of us will never experience this extra high level of instruction.

Which brings me to the burning question on everyone’s mind. What is the best kept secret of Autocross? FREE DRIVING INSTRUCTION. We here in the PCA Orange Coast Region are blessed to have not only the best facility in the country to Autocross (El Toro Airfield), but we are also extremely blessed to have the best and most experienced group of Instructors!

If you are new to Autocross, you will be assigned an instructor. The instructor will go over everything you need to know to be successful in your

autocross adventure and to be a more skilled driver.

You will learn how to properly set your car up for the Autocross course, starting with the correct tire pressures. You will learn the proper car settings, and seating position. Most importantly, you will learn how to drive your car faster than you ever thought possible.

Interesting fact #2: Did you know that most accidents happen because people do not apply enough brake pressure?

Our Autocross instructors will also help you learn the driving skills necessary to be fast. In a controlled and safe environment, you will learn how to threshold brake, throttle steer, and trail brake. You will learn how to look ahead, how to late apex and early apex a corner. You will even learn how to handle your car in a spin.

If you will join us and participate in the next four Autocross events, I will personally guarantee that you will be a

Show Me The MoneyStory by Dave Humphreys

As you will recall from a previous article, when you buy your Porsche, you are essentially putting your money into a declining value savings account - in that you rarely get as much out as you put in. When you come right down to it, purchasing any automobile is a pretty dismal investment by any measure.

You might say that leasing is somewhat similar to buying, but without the so-called equity “savings account.” With leasing, you have the option of putting your “savings“ (the difference between the monthly costs of buying vs. leasing; which can be substantial) into more productive investments. As a matter of fact, many financial advisors and accountants are currently encouraging exactly this practice as one of the benefits of leasing.

But, let’s see how this can actually work. We’ll compare a typical lease (36-months) on an $85,000 Porsche at say 6% interest, a 0% loan and a 6% purchase loan. In an effort to keep things as equal as possible, we have assumed that a down payment is tendered in each case. Even then, leasing will invariably result in lower payments.

Lease - 6% Loan - 0% Loan - 6%Porsche Price: $85,000 $85,000 $85,000Down Payment: $5,000 $5,000 $5,000Interest Rate: 6% 0% 6%Residual: $51,000 n/a n/aMonthly Payment: $1,289 $2,222 $2,656Total Costs: $51,404 $85,000 $100,616

*Note: The preceding chart was compiled using Edmund’s Lease Calculator (which is available free online), but does not include acquisition fees, sales/use taxes, registration/licensing fees, disposition fees, purchase option fee, etc. nor incidental fees charged by the leasing company for

conducting business. These fees vary from state to state and from leasing company to leasing company. So, do shop around for the best deal. The chart is intended for simple (though reasonably accurate) comparisons only.

As you can see, the short-term monthly cost of leasing (39-months or less) will always be significantly less than the cost of buying. For the same model Porsche with the same price, lease terms, and down payment, monthly lease payments will invariably be 30%-60% lower than purchase payments. In this example, that amounts to about $1,367 per month; or, $49,212 overall. Now, I don’t know about you, but that kind of money is going to get my attention every single time.

However, and this is also important, with the long-term leasing (exceeding 42-months), the cost of leasing will always be more than the cost of buying; that is assuming the buyer keeps his automobile after the loan is paid off. So, be sure to keep this in mind when you’re negotiating with the dealer - don’t be talked into a longer-term lease just to keep the monthly payments lower. You’ll get burned it you do.

Does this mean leasing is always better? Not necessarily. Payments are not the only factors that should influence your decision. There is much, much more to take into account before making any final decisions.

If a buyer prefers to keep his/her Porsche after the loan has been repaid and drives it for many years thereafter, the overall costs will be spread over a longer period of time. It doesn’t take a theoretical scientist to figure out that the cost of buying one (1) Porsche and driving it for say ten (10) years is going to be less expensive than leasing or buying three (3) or four (4) Porsches over the same period of time.

While we can’t put a dollar amount on everything, to put this into proper perspective, we need to look a little

deeper into how each program (leasing vs. buying) differs one from the other.

First, the similarities:Both contracts contain a “finance charge”; which represents the interest paid for the money you have borrowed. This is the money that has been advanced to you or the dealer to purchase the vehicle you intend to either lease or purchase. It also includes reimbursement for any incidental business expenses incurred by the financier.Both contracts set forth the amounts of the monthly installments to be paid over a specific period of time (usually months); and to whom they are to be paid.In both instances, you are responsible to properly maintain the vehicle per the manufacturer’s written standards, repair any damage incurred, pay all applicable taxes and keep the license and registration current.

Now, for the differences:Leasing contracts include a “depreciation charge”; which represents compensation to the financier for the loss of the market value of the vehicle during the lease period.At the end of the lease period you have the option of either buying the vehicle for a predetermined price (usually the “residual value”) or merely returning the vehicle to the leasing company with no further obligation - your choice. How about that?It is important to note that the leasing company will maintain ownership of the vehicle at all times - unless you decide to buy it at lease-end.

PORSCHEby Peter Morgan, published in Oct, ‘12 by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN

Book Review:


This book is part of Motorbooks’ FIRST GEAR series; books that are concise packages with hundreds of pictures and relatively little text. These wonderful summary books also have unique and wonderful “Did You Know ?” fact boxes that present fun, and very educational, trivia.

PORSCHE is the perfect introductory book to new Porsche fans. It would be a great gift idea for the kids, grandkids, new acquaintances etc. A great way to get the next generation, or new people, excited about Porsche cars or the Porsche hobby. CT STOCKING

PORSCHE is quite up to date, the ten chapters cover the development of Porsche from Porsche No. 1 through the 991. The coverage of models is quite

No other gaps come to mind, but it is true that bodywork subtleties are not distinguished – the 356 is treated as a block, except for the Speedster. And for enthusiasts of ‘Vintage Racing’ , the coverage of race cars is largely focused on those of 6+ cylinders.

The New Year is here with a New Hope for an improving outlook for everyone.

911 ignition problems: Question: My 1982 911SC had some work done a while ago… and I notice my SC wants to accelerate and then as suddenly decelerate, only slightly all in a cycle lasting 1-2 seconds. Is there something I can do for this?Reply: The 911SC is particularly sensitive to ignition timing. Even slight mis-timing can result in surges, like what you are experiencing. The specifications for the 1982 are within the 1980 thru 1983 SC Specifications. The timing must be checked at 950+ 50 rpm, with the red and blue vacuum hoses pulled off the ignition distributor’s “double vacuum box”. Next adjust the ignition timing to 5 degrees BTDC while maintaining 950 rpm. Then re-install the red and blue vacuum hoses.To check the “vacuum box” * (930.602.915.01) BOSCH: 1 237 122 736 (See image # 1) Note* The RED hose provides vacuum for advance at cruise power. The BLUE hose provides vacuum for idle retard.*

Check VACUUM RETARD: with blue hose connected, disconnect the red hose at the vacuum box’s front connection #2. Ignition timing must be between -3’and -7’ ATDC.Check VACUUM ADVANCE: Disconnect blue hose from

Werk Shop Manual 1972 onward section 9.3 – 2/13

Anniversary2013 is also an anniversary for us Porsche 911 fanatics of old, as we recollect back 40 years ago, history was about to unfold in an amazing and dramatic way. These 911 cars we admire so much and just cannot seem to get enough of, were originally destined to build in a production life of about 5- 7 years. The 911 was, after all, an intended move-up from the 4 cylinder “putt-putt” image of Porsche. This is no put down either. The evolution of the 4 cylinder Porsche came about in the early 1930s and its history is a marvel from Ferdinand Porsche himself.

In the 1960s Ferry Porsche and his sons wanted to make their own history with a new Porsche. A new design was the answer with a growing West Germany economy and a world market. This required an entirely new design with much more power, higher speed, more driver-passenger room and modern amenities. The 356 had evolved to its limit and then (1961) a more modern car was needed. This gave birth to Werk Design Nr. 901, then a new name: “911.”

1973 was the arrival of a new up-graded version of the 911, which became a prominent racing car called the Carrera Renn Sport Rennen. A German way to state: Ralley/Sporting/Racing. Porsche was determined to reduce any weight not absolutely necessary by making the

3.

new 911 as lightweight as possible and still have a street/road drivable 911. This gave birth to Porsche’s “less is more” philosophy. However, Porsche had to sell 500 basic examples of the RSR to be classified for homologation purposes that was the: “Carrera RS.” The RS enabled Porsche to be eligible to race in the Group 4 Special GT Class. These were called the 911 2.7 Carrera RS, which became the basis for the full blown 2.8 Liter, all out racing, 2.8 Carrera RSR.

From a long time ago I recall my first impression of the 2.7 Carrera RS, it was on my wedding day, June 16 1973. I had my 1968 911 perfectly polished and ready to gently speed my bride and myself from church –the very same car and same bride I have today. Thank You!

Anyway, just before leaving for church the mailman delivered my Competition Press/ Autoweek and on the first page I saw, hot off the press from the Paris Auto Show, a pictured 911, in white with a blue “Carrera” stripe, blue centered Fuchs wheels and that famous ‘duck tail.’ I was stunned! I was determined to have one someday, or in my case build one! SEE image # 2 (This has a familiar feel - like what is brewing for 2013 and 2014: the arrival of the Porsche 918) And with that in mind I asked my brother John Rice, to tell me his first impression of his first 1973 911 2.7 Carrera RS.

Behnke’s restored 1968 blue 911E coupe was a delight to see, and drew plenty of attention. Chris and Rebecca Robertson’s 2013 Boxster Spyder is a car made in limited quantities, and a true head-turner in Guards Red.

“Hey, olive oil tasting is great, but let go of that peach (or is it mango)

flavored olive oil people: we have to go! Mount up; Opalo is waiting for us with a stunner of a lunch spread and their terrific wines.” As we drove onto the winery grounds, we headed past rows of vines, the wine tasting room and warehouse, on up to the top of the hill, where a huge white “wedding reception tent” awaited our arrival. We heard that they are only permitted to host six or seven gatherings per year in that tent so we were quite honored and fortunate to be part of that group.

We arranged our cars in long rows (talk about a photo-op!) in the grass on top of the now sun-splashed hilltop, and headed for the tent. The cooks had a huge grill going with mouth-watering aromas

of sausages, chicken and lamb sizzling away. Servers walked about offering oysters and sausages to whet our appetites for lunch. The tasting booth in one corner of the room poured liberally, and the Opalo crew manning the booth advised us to return any time we needed more. The meal was superb: the wines, laughter and happy chatter flowed in great abundance. As the meal slowed Bob Savic and Greg Heinlein passed out cigars. So ladies and gents stepped out into the warmth, pulled up a hay bale, sat down and perused the rolling hillside vineyards spreading to infinity and watched a solo hawk wheeling overhead seeking his meal.

There are indeed moments in life that you just wish would never end; this was certainly one of them. But we had many miles to ride and so, reluctantly, we pulled ourselves away from the reverie of Opalo and most headed off to Niner and yet another tasting. “Most,” because some of us headed back to the hotel for a nap to be fortified for the evening’s festivities.

The heartier members from OCR headed for Jack Creek winery, owned by Doug and Sabrina Kruse, and famed for their Estate reserve Pinot Noir, and their “Concrete Blond” Chardonnay. The

Kruse vineyard is a smallish 40 acres given over to 24 acres of Pinot Noir, 7 acres of Syrah, 5 acres of Chardonnay,

I didn’t get any money for the damage (long story) and the lowest bid I got for new windshield pieces (in 1972) was $1,500 per side! I gave up on being able to afford to fix the car and it is now in Northern California. I recently got to visit it in its fully restored condition and meet the current owner who drives it regularly.

In 1990, I acquired my 4th Porsche. A 1968 912. It looked beautiful, outside and in. I got it from a co-worker at a new job and thought I was getting a great deal. When I got it home (I finally had a decent 5-car garage), I found that it was a disaster underneath. After a major tune-up, the engine was great and I put a lot of miles on it. For a while, I commuted 300 miles every weekend and used it as a daily driver for almost ten years.

I had dropped out of PCA in the mid ‘70s, but in 1997, the stepson who had driven the Speedster in El Toro gave me a new PCA membership for Christmas. It was nice to see the new (to me) and glossy Pano. I had just moved from Oxnard Shores to Morongo Valley (from a 5-car garage to a 0-car garage), so I became a member of Riverside Region.

Full of newbie vigor and enthusiasm, I started driving to PCA meetings, even to the board meetings 60+ miles away, because they usually had free food of some sort. In November of ‘00 the very capable president was re-elected. In January ‘01, he announced a transfer to the east coast. As per the by-laws the remaining months of his term were to be filled by someone appointed to the job by the Board. In a fashion that seems even more implausible today than it did then,

I, who had never even served on the Board, was appointed President.

I found myself enthusiastic about this new challenge and very stimulated by the Zone 8 Presidents’ Meetings and the great people I encountered there. I acquired

an ‘86 Targa which became my Sundays

and PCA meetings car. I got turned on by the torquey engine (compared to the 4-banger Porsches I had been driving for decades) and stopped autocrossing the 912 and ran the 911 instead. In 2003 I became Zone 8 Autocross champion for the Carrera 3.2 class in that car.

When I could not find a volunteer to replace the retiring newsletter editor I took on the job of editing Unsere Gedanken. There is a synergy in being both President and Editor, which I feel leads to great, current and focused, newsletters.

During my tenure as president, Riverside held its 30th anniversary celebration. We still had a couple of founders available to participate and the Press-Enterprise gave us a nice write-up, led off by a picture of me in my VARA Speedster.

Though I’m not a Concours type, I had been performing the scoring function for the Concours at the Festival of Speed. In 1993 I got roped in by a friend to help with the Porsche Timeline at Lake Arrowhead and was head-honcho of that for about 5 years.

About 3 years ago, I somehow got involved in writing ‘Book Reviews for Porschephiles”, a monthly column in Grand Prix Region’s The Circuit. That column is now also being printed in Pandemonium and in 2013, it will also

appear in Going Places, the Arizona Region monthly.

While serving as President of Riverside, I had my arm twisted to buy a 924S that had been the property of two previous Riverside Region Presidents. For about 6 years starting in High School, I had been a sports car nut bumming rides with friends with MGs (TCs, TDs and eventually Bs) Trimphs (TR2, TR3 and mostly TR3A), an XK120-C and an XK140-MC. One thing all these cars had in common was a large transmission tunnel and a deep, narrow foot well. The 924S, being front engined, has a large transmission tunnel. As soon as I slipped into the cockpit I felt at home! All these decades in 4 cyl air-cooled Porsches I’d never realized that I missed the snugness of the cockpits of front engine sports cars.

Having added front-engine water pumpers to my collection, I became interested in the whole genre of Porsches – rear engine, front engine, mid-engine, air-cooled, water-cooled, 4 and 6 cylinder. I now have examples of every configuration (except for 4WD and 4 door). In a stroke of luck I managed to acquire a very slightly used, Thunder Ranch RSK replica at a bargain price. It is a real thrill to look at, just like I used to drool over Penske’s and Holbert’s at The Glenn. And I now have a garage (which I built all by myself), in which I have parked as many as 7 Porsches at once, but prefer to just have 3 project cars in it at a time.

to the parking lot to examine my just acquired 1973 911 Carrera RS. As a proper enthusiast, Lee was on his knees and belly examining the important bits, then burst out laughing. I had just had a set of trick new Yokohama 008 tires installed to help keep it under control and the tire shop mounted the tires right, but the wheels wrong. The 7s were on the right side and the 8s on the left! Hey, it still worked better than any nonflared 911 I had driven.”

Back in 1973 we were quite disappointed that the Carrera RS was not going to be legal here in the USA and so would not be imported. In those days there was very little information about them. I found bits in Christophorus and looked for the foreign car magazines to read about them. If I ever loved a Porsche model, it has been the ‘73 RS. You know that I have owned and enjoyed an amazing variety of 911s over the years, so I can claim to be an bit of an expert on most all of them. A stock RS isn’t the fastest, most challenging, nor most exciting. It really isn’t the “best” either. I don’t believe that Porsche ever intended to build a Great Car when they produced the RS. They were trying to continue racing. The RS was merely an upgrade to a lightened 911 with what was necessary to produce a decent RSR racing car. It just happened to work out that it was a fantastic combination of parts that made for one of the nicest all around sports cars... ever.

My first RS: I had only seen one before I saw “my” RS. That was the early RS prototype that Don Wester had at his Porsche

Dealership in Monterey. I saw that car several times at his dealership and always with dealer plates. It totally mesmerized me.

In 1986, while reading the S.F. Chronicle and, as always, scanning the Foreign Car Section, I spotted a new listing: a”1973 911 Carrera RS” from a small shop in Berkeley called Fantasy Junction. White/blue, Restored”. I nearly fell out

of my chair. There was an RS in the area? And it is for sale? I had to see it.

I quietly went to see the RS and started carefully, but discretely, looking it over. They realized this wasn’t my normal social visit when I asked if they minded if I opened doors/hood/lid, brought out my flashlight and crawled around looking underneath it. They had a thick document file that went with it.

Over the next week it was time to step up to the plate. It was time for a test drive. Mike Duffy was the lucky sales guy. He seemed a bit nervous about this. He had never been in a car with me but he knew my sports car and SCCA racing history so I didn’t appreciate why he seemed so anxious. He drove it out to the open Berkeley Marina area where we wouldn’t bother anyone and turned it over to me. To me, this was a very special car, but it was mainly because the factory had built something that worked so well, not that the performance level was so special. By this time I had read many detailed stories about driving, racing and rallying these cars and some stories were incredibly detailed about how the cars reacted. They were pretty much just big bore 911S’ with wider rear wheels/tires, slightly better suspensions and a bit lighter. Pretty much what American 911 enthusiasts had been building for years.

It sounded just like any other hot MFI 911 except for a slightly guttural note to the exhaust and it was obviously set up stiffer than a genuine stock RS. I also noted the 80% limited slip installed. I knew that they cause “unusual” handling characteristics when driven with vigor and I certainly was going to do that before I bought it.

There was no one around when I carefully felt out the clutch engagement and gently started off. Listening to every sound and feeling out the engine response, suspension and brakes. Finally it was time to give it serious stick. I advised Mike that I was about to finally DRIVE it and... all hell broke loose! You hear the term “explosive” and it is just a word. There was something so instantly raw and brutal about this little 911.

It was very well set up and put the power down with no trauma, but the engine had a particular banshee wail unlike any of the upgraded 911s I had driven. It pulled “like a freight train… a darned fast freight train”. Gads! This thing was intoxicating! I also discovered that the testers from CAR magazine were correct. The 80% was severe. On the highway if you cruised along and nailed it - the car moved to the left about 2-3 feet, let off full throttle and it instantly snapped right about the same. Very controllable and no problem... after the first few goes and you realized it was predictable and wasn’t really trying to kill you. Basically, it was incredibly fast. It was the most exciting [controllable]

and 4 acres of grenache. Their pinots are dynamite!

With that tasting completed the group departed for the hotel, with prudent stops to gas up, as the afternoon wound down.

Dinner was at Eberle, about five minutes west of the hotel. Palpable excitement charged the air as we realized that this was the night we all set our clocks back an hour and got an extra hours’ sleep. The mood was, “let’s party!” After the tasting room, where you must try the 2009 sangiovese, oh my! Bottles tucked under our arms, we descended to the wine cave where tables were laid out with linens and candles. Dinner consisted of tri-tip, salmon or a vegetarian selection.

What would the Saturday night dinner be without a round of joke telling? You have not lived until you have heard Bob’s joke about the bear hunt. Bob and Judy thanked everyone for attending the weekend, and then they recognized those folks who have helped them make the trip such a success, including the Hollanders and the Douglas’s. Bob also mentioned that we would not be leaving until 9:30 the next morning, and so that,

coupled with setting the clocks back, lent a promise of plenty of rest and relaxation for the Sunday events.

Margaret and I followed our usual tradition of heading home after breakfast, better rested to face a busy Monday, but those who stayed for the Sunday activities raved about Tobin James, always a fun tasting in a setting reminiscent of a stage coach stop. It is less a mere tasting, and more of a party.

Our sources filled in the day’s events: Pear Valley was next, and that is the winery that sent over a tasting on Friday in the hotel lobby. Another beautiful hilltop setting with ambiance abundant. Wild Coyote is a fan favorite and treated us to a scrumptious BBQ lunch. Giovanni gave us a talk on the fine points of being a small winemaker and the changes in California winegrowing with the influx of corporations buying vineyards. After a quick stop for port and cigars at Paso Port, the remaining few made their way to Bob & Judy’s new digs for a tour and a hearty Hungarian goulash.

Most of you know Bob had a heart attack and bypass surgery shortly after the tour. We wish him a speedy recovery, as it wouldn’t be the same in Paso Robles with out sheriff Bob and his Lady, the beautiful Judy.

much better and safer driver. So much better, in fact, that it could someday save your life or the life of a loved one. How is that for a guarantee? Can you afford to pass up this opportunity?

I would like to send a special “THANK YOU” out to Lisa Taylor and Tom Ridings of the Flying “L” Ranch for their generous sponsorship of the November 4th Autocross. They did so in grand fashion by providing everyone with a delicious catered Taco lunch that included all the trimmings. I would also like to thank Walter’s Porsche for their continued sponsorship and support throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you at our next Autocross event.

The day’s event sponsor, Flying L Racing had a hungry crowd to feed

(Continued from Page 23)Rice’s Ramblings:

car I had ever driven. Everything worked great. I made the deal. SEE IMAGE #3

I absolutely loved this car. In retrospect, it really was a racecar for the street. I ran it at Laguna with POC and was the only street tire car running the Red Group. I started off about a half lap back as to not get in their way. After a few laps I caught up with the group. Amazing. I didn’t dare try cornering with these guys but I followed along looking at their huge flares and 14” rear tires and backed off early for the duration. I had learned in SCCA that you didn’t try to out corner guys running huge race rubber unless you liked eating dirt... or walls. Oh, I was a fine driver but it was THE CAR that was sensational. On the cool down lap the corner workers were walking out from their stations and applauding. I knew it was this fantastic car they were honoring, deservedly so.

Sadly, I sold the “RS” within a year. I have owned a ton of neat cars since. Nothing, nothing quite like this beast. One of my current cars is an early

996 GT2. Yes, it is also an animal. Just like that first RS was. And just like the 2.7RS… you have to control it with fast hands and a very well trained and disciplined right foot.

There is no question in my mind that the early RS was not only incredibly exciting but it was the most fun car I ever owned. I could write for pages about my fun/crazy experiences. A particularly excitable lady friend in San Francisco was enjoying my tour of all the spots they used in filming Steve McQueen’s movie, “Bullitt”.

She asked me if my RS would “jump” like in the movie? Hey, that’s too easy and dangerous. How about a jump UP the hill? So we did. I expected it to get light and let her stomach know we were almost airborne. Instead, we sailed up over the intersection and landed about 3/4 across it. I thought I had destroyed my front end. Some people nearby were looking at me like I was a crazy person. I knew that it was time to get out of there and hoped I wasn’t leaving any RS parts behind as I quickly and quietly as possible

left the scene. Once I was in virgin territory I stopped and scrambled to see what I might have broken... nothing. Not a trace of damage. For decades she has delighted in telling people about when I took her flying in SF in that RS. And, yes, it is just one of many great memories of a great car.

Last comment: I verified that it had been raced but not the details. I also discovered that one reason this thing was so fast was that it actually has very high compression 2.8.liter pistons and cylinders! So, take a stock RS, add suspension and about 50 hp! Not so stock, but oh so exiting and I wish it were still in my garage…

While there are endless articles, books, dedicated magazines and how to make a copy-cat RS version etc, etc, -nobody knows what a RS is really like but those who knew how to fully use one and ventured on street, road and track with one of their own. I hope you enjoyed it. This is an impression like none other.

Godspeed

Otherwise, you will never own the vehicle.Loan contracts include a “principle charge” which goes toward paying off the entire vehicle purchase price.With a traditional loan, the financier will maintain legal title to the vehicle until the loan is completely paid off. Then, and only then, can you claim title to the vehicle.

Next month will be the last installment in our series. However, meanwhile, if you would like to enhance your knowledge of the “in’s and out’s” of automobile (Porsche) leasing still further, hone your negotiating skills and become aware some ticks/traps some dealers employ (and how to avoid them), then you might want to visit www.automobileleasing101.com.

Editors Notes: (Continued from Page 5)

I call it the “guys wish list” because there are always some great cars on sale and some interesting “stuff” to be had. It is one section of the magazine I never miss and I always look forward to reading. Kept for many years by Bob Weber, we really appreciated his work in this area. I have even bought some things from fellow members sourced out of the ads, a fellow enthusiast usually, and usually that hard to find item.

Vroom VroomSpeaking of “guys stuff” there is a button or switch in the newer Porsches that my friend Jay Warren calls “the man button”. This is the switch to open the exhaust chamber and add some throat to the sound quality emanating from the internal combustions we’ve paid for. I like that name because it really doesn’t add any horsepower or alter handling: it just makes noise. A delightful noise and I think one of the true reasons that Porsche remains the icon it does today.

The latest generation of Porsches actually acoustically pipes the sound of the exhaust on demand with the “man button” into the interior of the car. It’s been written up in some of the car magazines as being a specific engineering mandate to enhance the aural experience of a Porsche.

Blanche Bickerson, the 2007 GT3 that I own, has a “man button” that I love to push open. You can hear the timbre of sound change from a higher pitch to one having a little more “bottom” or bass to it. Wonderful symphonic sensory overload at 7,000 RPM. I am not sure my

new neighbors would so agree however. So I try to be a little discreet when and where I use it. But I do use it…

Not AgainYes, again. I was rear ended in our Q7 on the 5 Freeway the Wednesday of Thanksgiving eve, again. The first time was three years ago on the 22 Freeway on a rainy morning. This time it was the afternoon and the fellow that hit me was himself shoved into me by the impact of the person who started the chain reaction by running into him. It must have been quite an impact as his contact with me was violent and enough to do some damage. It’s sobering to go through these as they make you aware of the capacity of these machines to do real injury. We get jaded driving along every day and don’t necessarily ponder the potential forces at play when an object weighing two tons is doing 50-70 miles an hour. Thankfully, I was only doing about 5 miles per hour. I have no idea what the person that started the fender crushing was speeding at but given the heavy traffic it would not have been the normal unfettered freeway velocities. Still the impact was jarring, and had enough shock to make me think about what an impact at say 60 miles per hour might be like, after this I truly don’t want to know.

There was damage to my hatch lid, bumper, rear lights and I am sure plenty of small unseen bits and pieces further inside the overall mechanism. Enough that the insurance estimate was nearly $3,000. Because I was the “hittee” and not the “hitter”, the body shop guy told

me “it won’t cost you a cent sir”. Ha! Every one of us paying the insurance bill is paying plenty of cents for these incidents. I am sure that if this was coming out of my own pocket I’d find a way to cut that overall cost down. But accidents are so normal that their aftermath and cleanup is an industry in its own right.

I am just so glad it wasn’t the GT3 that got nailed. Besides just being the pet that it is, there are unseen costs even after an accident. With “carfax” one can now see if any car has been in the repair shop. So if you are buying one, there are two to choose from and one has been in an accident, oh well, which would you choose?

Wham, Zoom to the MoonIn 2013 anyway, for the moon is only one of the destinations. Your Porsche Club of America, Orange Coast Region of Zone 8 will have a full calendar of fun and interesting events. Come on out, make this the year you get involved and make more use of that Stuttgart wonder in the garage. Have fun. And I hope to get the chance to meet you when you do come out and join us!

Book Review: (Continued from Page 13)

are derived from British publications, they seem fresh to American eyes. Photos do support the narrative, but there are no photo captions per se.

Though the story focuses on individual models, the narrative ties them all into a Porsche Timeline [sorry], of the evolution of Porsche design. Though nits can be picked by aficionados (longer wheelbase listed for for ‘68 cars, not in ‘68 for ‘69 models, and calling the 912 the first entry level model (somewhat slighting the Speedster), etc.), but the ‘entry level’ reader will just be fascinated by the eminently readable story, and indeed, for the neophyte, casually interested in learning more about Porsche cars and their history, such subtleties would only muddy the picture. None the less, the narrative about how Porsche developed and responded to the market place, as well as it’s relationship with VW, is fascinating reading for even

the knowledgeable Porsche fan. This reviewer was surprised by the number of instances presented showing Porsche under-estimating the market for it’s cars - almost as conservative as Nissan’s labeling of it’s initial offerings to the USA as Datsuns, so that the anticipated flop wouldn’t besmirch the Nissan Corporate image.

Overall, PORSCHE is indeed ‘a book for all readers’. It is a wonderful introduction to the Porsche marque for the novice Porsche fan, and a concise, but enlightening, summary of the history of Porsche cars for the enthusiast. Be sure to have a copy for yourself, and for the neophytes whom you may encounter. Particularly if you have some ‘top-level’ knowledge of Porsches, the details and specifics presented make fascinating reading and tie all previous bits of knowledge into a new, cohesive whole. Three-fifty-six die-hards may

feel that they have been slighted in this book, but they must remember that they represent less than one-third of Porsche’s chronological history, and their 80,000 cars are less than the production for the year 2005 alone!

Not overly technical or esoteric, this book is one that every Porsche enthusiast should have, for an enjoyable read, and to indoctrinate the uninitiated. If one was to have only one book about Porsches, this is the book to have!

PORSCHE is a handbook-sized paperback with 240, 6.5 x 8.24 inch pages, including 306 color and 28 b/w pictures. It is the perfect gift to engage the young Porsche lovers in your life. It should be available for the bargain price of only $19.99, from your favorite bookseller (ask for it) or from http://www.Motorbooks.com, It really is a ‘don’t leave home without it’ book for the Porsche fan.
