Candidates for the

Candidate for PresidentNicolas Liakas

I have been a member of the Santa Barbara Region since August, 1994 and have served the club in several capacities during those years. I have been the editor of Der Auspuff , participated within the Activities Committee, and represented our region at this year’s Parade Portland at various functions. I have come to know the strengths and weaknesses of our club and the needs and interests of our members. I believe that as President I can provide professional leadership in a congenial and collegiate manner and atmosphere with the goal of further enhancing the benefi ts of membership in the Santa Barbara Region.

Candidate for Vice PresidentGary Gasperino

I have been actively involved with our Club since 2000. I have held numerous Board and appointed positions over the years. As your VP, I helped follow through with my commitment to maintain the Club’s goals and those of PCA and help foster a “Family” atmosphere. I believe our strengths lie with encouraging member participation/involvement in activities and events sponsored by our Club, Region, Zone and PCA National. My continued involvement will help in this transition year as many new Board and appointed members will be leaving.

Candidate for SecretaryKaren Turek

This year has been a good year and I have enjoyed being secretary of our club. As our club’s secretary, it has been great experiencing what takes place “behind the scenes” and to report it to our general membership. If you will accept me, I would like your vote for SBR’s secretary for 2007.

Candidate for TreasurerCarol Mathieu

I have been a member of the Santa Barbara Region club since February 2003. I got involved in the club immediately and have always been willing to help, but until now, could never participate on the board due to my commute to and from Los Angeles every day. Now that I am working and living in Ventura I would like to step up to the plate and participate on the Board of Directors as the Treasurer for 2007. I have more than 35 years in the business world as am currently the Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Affi nity Bank in Ventura. I have served as a member of the activities committee for 2005 and 2006 and have been a proof reader for the Der Auspuff for the past two years. My enthusiasm is contagious and I will bring a vibrancy to the board should I be lucky enough to be elected into this position of Treasurer.

Candidate for ActivitiesBarry and Valerie Weinstein (Co-Chairs)

Valerie and I have had the distinct pleasure of serving our club as the Activities Co-Chairs for the past 12 months. Together, with the members of Activities Committee, we have planned and organized the majority of tours, drives and events in which a large percentage of our PCA/SBR club members have participated. It’s been a busy, exciting and rewarding year for us. We are delighted with the wonderful new friendships we have made and are happy to ask for your vote so we may continue in this role as Activities Co-Chairs in the coming year. We think that we have had a terrifi c 2006, in terms of the quantity and quality of the events presented, and intend to continue organizing as many, or even more events, in 2007.

President’s Column

Gerade Aus!By Joe Carastro

Feeling a bit like Karnak holding the last envelope, (if you are under 40, have a Greybeard explain this) this will be my last foray on the early pages of “der Auspuff ”. My overwhelming thought for the last couple years is how much of a pleasure it has been to work with the other Board members and the various volunteers that have made SBR what it is. Not to say that there are not new avenues to explore, but the membership has maintained a high level of enthusiasm and it has always been very gratifying to witness the sea of smiling faces at events.

As some of you know, I am just back from 10 days in Europe and am happy to report that Nancy and I had a delightful time attending the RUF Rallye in Catalyuna, Spain. SBR members, Alois and Estonia Ruf, once again put on a superbly organized event that was attended by forty cars fi lled with enthusiasts from around the world. Not being able to resist giving the dead horse a few more whacks, I was again struck on how pleasant the driving experience was at higher speeds and traffi c densities due to the generally higher skill level and predictable behavior of the European driver. I also witnessed Nancy’s cousin’s son reviewing the 2000 questions presented in computer graphics format in preparation for taking his French driver’s license exam and suspect there may be a connection.

On the industry front, the introduction of the Panamera is drawing closer, so expect the usual fl urry of spy photos. In addition, in an ever-proliferating model selection, Porsche appears to be somewhat defi nite on producing a successor to the 928 using the Panamera platform. Things are booming at both our local dealers and if you have not been in for a visit in a while, drop on by.

Wishing all of you a happy and healthy Holiday Season, I remain,

Porschelly yours,Joe

It is hard to believe I have been sitting here for one year. You may remember the January 2006 issue, when I mentioned that the Editor’s seat vacated by Nicolas Liakas was “toasty warm.” Well, I fi nally fi gured out why. In the past twelve months, I don’t think my derrière ever left the cushion! The Editor position of Der Auspuff is interesting, exciting, rewarding, and engrossing.

This Nov/Dec issue is overweight – with content, that is. You would be hard pressed to fi nd another Der Auspuff containing nine member events, two board meetings, and two great member contributions. The member contributions are what really add personality to the club and publication, so it is a pleasure to present them in this issue. You will fi nd Rick Llewellyn’s “Porsche Driving Experience” article on page 18, and Brad Hunt’s “Hemmings Article” story on page 29.

Check out our event coverage of the Rebel Run on page 14, the German Autofest on page 20, and our two R.U.F. Reports, found on page 24 and 25. The all-new P.M.S. group (you will have to read it to fi nd out what it stands for) coverage is on page 15.

Monthly Board Meeting

Minutes from October 4, 2006


Both owned Porsches then, and coincidentally reconnected for the fi rst time in 50 years at our breakfast event.

New members of SBR/PCA (all Porsche Boxster owners) included Joel Freeman from West Hills in his 2003 Porsche Boxster, Brad Sitten from Silver Strand Beach in his 2004 Porsche Boxster, and Eleanor Allen, from Malibu, in her 2006 Porsche Boxster. Eleanor is currently a member of the Los Angeles Region, but decided she wanted dual membership as the large list of breakfasts, events, activities, and tours our club hosts was too much for her

to pass up. Welcome to all of you!Paul Wittlock of Simi Valley, a prospective

member, came to look us over in his ’06 Cayman S. Hope you liked what you saw, Paul, and we hope you will become a full fl edged member by the next meeting.

There is a lot happening this month and the business part of the breakfast was taken up by discussing September’s upcoming events. Check the Calendar and Bulletin Board on page 7 for more information.

Hope to see you at the next event!

September 2, 2006 - It was a gorgeous fi rst day of the Labor Day Weekend. The skies were clear, the sun was shining, and the temperature was in the mid 70’s for most of the breakfast. Even though this was a 3-day holiday weekend, we still managed to attract 123 people in 65 Porsches for our September Camarillo breakfast meeting.

We’d like to welcome Anita Banke, who with her husband Larry, have been members of our club since 1967. This was the fi rst time in 15 years that Anita brought her extremely rare 1959 Porsche Convertible D in Togo Brown to the meeting. Although it hasn’t been that long since we’ve seen Anita, it had been more than a decade (too long) since we’ve seen her Porsche.

Another interesting story was told to the group at this meeting. Frank Ladwig and Michael Brovsky each noticed something familiar about the other at the breakfast. After greeting each other, they recognized that they had been high school classmates!

September 9. 2006 - It was a beautiful day in Santa Barbara. We arrived at the Harbor Restaurant about 8:30 in the morning. The sky was clear and the temperature in the mid-seventies.

Only one thing was missing…the usual crowd of members and guests attending our monthly Santa Barbara Breakfast meeting. Only about 20 people in 12 cars showed up. This was actually the smallest attendance I’ve witnessed since joining our club.

Where was everybody? Well, they were all at the Ventura German Autofest – one of the largest Porsche events in the West. In fact, about a third of us attending the breakfast were scheduled to work at the Autofest later that day or the following Sunday.

Mike Turek took over the membership duties, handed out the sign-up sheets and got up and welcomed two new members and guests to our breakfast. (Dave Stone, who generally takes care of this chore, was at the show in Ventura supervising the volunteers who were working there).

This was Charlene Kalk’s fi rst Santa Barbara Breakfast. She drove up from Westlake Village, in her Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Tobias Hildebrand, from Santa Barbara, picked up one of our Der Auspuff ’s at Santa Barbara Porsche, read about all the events and activities that SBR/PCA has, including our breakfast club meetings, and told us that with that much happening he had to attend a breakfast and fi nd out more. I hope we see you as a full fl edged member in the near future, Tobias

I spoke about our upcoming events and noted that we are still searching for volunteers to host the various courses of our 2007 Progressive Dinner as well as someone to host the annual Chili Cook-off . Anyone interested, please contact Val or myself for more information.

With that, we ended the meeting, a little earlier than usual, so those of us who were working the 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM shift at the Ventura Show could get there in plenty of time.

October 7, 2006 - It started out kind of overcast, but by 9:00 AM, the weather was as close to perfect as one could hope. The temperature was in the low 70’s, the skies were clear. Attendance began slowly, but by the time the meeting was in full force we had 68 Porsches and 131 people at the Way Point Café hosted at the Camarillo airport.

We had a number of new members and guests join us. Blair and Avery Taylor, new members from Thousand Oaks, arrived in their 2006 Porsche Cayman. Glad to have you with us. We hope to see you at future breakfasts and events.

Hassan and Rita Rashid, from Westlake Village, have been members for six years, but this was the very fi rst Camarillo breakfast they have attended. They drove their 2004 Porsche GT3 to the meeting. The Rashids accompanied us on the “Rebel Without A Cause Run” to Paso Robles last week, came to breakfast this morning and will join us on our next event, the “Hot Run To A Cold War Site,” to the old Nike missile base in the Malibu Mountains. We’re delighted to get to know you folks as you become more active with our club.

Also, another new member to join us for breakfast was Chuck Tulloh in his 1988 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Welcome Chuck!

Regarding guests of our breakfast club meeting, Larry Smith from Ventura, a friend of our Autocross Chair, Rick Shaw, visited with us.

Jan and Jerry Stevens, from Prescott, Arizona, also broke bread with us. The Stevens used to be PCA/SBR members.

Finally prospective member, Collin Kruschke, from Camarillo, arrived in his 1969 Porsche 912. We hope to see you join the club soon, Collin.

Breakfast meetings are held the fi rst two Saturdays of each month. Check the calendar on page 6 for specifi cs.

October 14, 2006 - Most Porsche members that attended today left home under cloudy skies with predictions of scattered showers. We were all surprised and pleased to be greeted by sunshine and blue skies at the Santa Barbara pier. Because my husband Mike had another commitment this morning, I drove solo up to Santa Barbara. Before I left, Mike reminded me that the rear fenders on our Porsche were wider than the front… and to be careful. He also requested that I not park the Porsche at any shopping venue, etc. (What is a wife to do?) Ha! Attending today’s breakfast were 32 people driving 17 Porsches and 5 alternate vehicles. New to our region is Scott Haskins, driving a 1983 Porsche 911 SC. First time at the Santa Barbara breakfast were Dave Miller and Christienny Georgiades. Jerry Maloeos, also a new member and fi rst timer at the Santa Barbara breakfast, drove his brand new 2007 Porsche 997 S coupe in black - sold to him by our own Walt Brancome. Jerry has been a Porsche owner since 1969, and currently also owns a 1980 Porsche 911 SC with over 280,000 miles on the odometer. Joe Carastro talked about their trip to Barcelona. Joe and his wife Nancy attended a Ruf rally with 35 other couples in Barcelona, Spain. They also were able to attend a one-day driver training at a Formula 1 track. Barry Weinstein reported that we have 75 people signed up for the Hot Run to a Cold War Site. Our annual Christmas party is 30% fi lled, so get your RSVP in early. It was a pleasure to see new and perspective members being greeted by tenured members sharing conversation, good weather and a mutual love of fi ne cars. I will see you on our next fun-fi lled event.

October Santa Barbara Breakfast Meeting

Cloudy skies everywhere except over the pier!Words by Karen Turek


After paying its respects at the crash site, the motorcade proceeded to the Eberle Winery for a catered lunch. Situated on top of a hill overlooking acres upon acres of vines meticulously arranged in straight rows, this winery hosted our members to a feast that included salads, sandwiches, various desserts and samples of its many fi ne white, rose and red wines.

It was time to visit downtown San Luis Obispo, but fi rst the participants registered at a local hotel for the night. After a brief rest, the region’s members toured the shops until nightfall and dined at local restaurants. It was a great way to end a fabulous excursion. Our thanks were extended to Kent Bodin, and Luz and Dave (“Mapquest”) Mosesson for producing a memorable and challenging driving experience.

September 30, 2006 marked the 51st anniversary of the fatal day when Hollywood lost its “rebel without a cause.” To commemorate the event, 76 Santa Barbara Region members traveling in 40 Porsches journeyed to the site where James Dean lost his life while he was driving his “Little Bastard.” (The present day location is marked by relatively small highway signs at the junction of California Highways 46 and 41 about 30 miles northeast of Paso Robles. A couple of miles to the west is a memorabilia store. The tragic event had an unintended result as it catapulted the Porsche marque into international headlines and turned into a marketing MBA textbook example for decades to come; the stuff of which legends are made.

The group departed from downtown Santa Barbara and immediately navigated some of the most beautiful roads on California’s Central Coast. The parade proceeded through Los Olivos and embarked upon Foxen Canyon, passing internationally acclaimed wineries. As it entered San Luis Obispo County, cruising on Highway 41 between the town of Atascadero and the Cholame Valley, the drivers had to negotiate turn after turn while being challenged by numerous hill climbs and blind curves. As far as one could see, vineyards blanketed the landscape while palaces glamorous and gargantuan rivaled the chateaus of France.

Rebel Run

SBR Pays Homage to James DeanPhotos and Words by Nicolas Liakas

A group of ladies got to talking and thought that we females could get together and have some fun (without any engine talk). Eleven of us got together and rented an electric boat in Channel Islands Harbor for two hours. We set about to discuss the possibility of having future women’s gatherings – something we women would enjoy. We enjoyed wine, appetizers, lots of laughs and male entertainment (compliments of Nick Liakas).

This was an impromptu get-together. Our next fun outing (not an offi cial Porsche Club event) will be a scavenger hunt at the Thousand Oaks Mall, open to any female in the Porsche club with a credit card, cash, etc. (or access to one). You will receive details soon regarding this event. If you have any ideas, comments, etc., please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

The Porsche Driving ExperiencePhotos and Words by Rick Llewellyn

“One of the biggest thrills of my lifetime,” so said the Porsche corporate executive when I asked him what he thought of the Porsche Driving Experience. I thought to myself that maybe he was selling the program a bit, or maybe he was just an enthusiastic guy; but I decided to see for myself.


Located just a few miles outside of Birmingham, Alabama is the Barber Motorsports Park; home to a 2.38-mile race track with 16 challenging turns.

Day one begins with the classroom. There were twenty-three others in my class, some with racing experience. As the instruction begins, there is important terminology to learn, terms not used in everyday driving, for examples: “weight transfer,” “friction circle,” “oversteer,” and “late apex.” As the class concludes, we are issued crash helmets.

My group is the fi rst to the motorcross course. There we fi nd a large course of red cones set in a fi gure-8 pattern, but with a couple of minor “S” turns in two of the straight-aways just to make the course more challenging. I am fi rst up. I mimic the instructor’s start by fl ooring the accelerator out of the starting blocks, but I am at the fi rst turn in less than 6 seconds. I hit the brakes hard, as we had been taught, and head into a sharp “U” turn. Thirty-four seconds for my fi rst lap, not bad - but it is a long way from a record.

Our group heads next to the skid pad. The course is simple; two small circles of cones, the circles about 125 feet apart, are set up for us to drive a fi gure 8 around them. The Porsche Stability Management system has been turned off . I am around the fi rst turn no problem, but I do notice the course is much like driving on black ice. My instructor now tells me to accelerate, more then still more. As I come out

of the turn, the car spins to the right. I turn into the skid and hit the brakes hard, the car spins uncontrollably to the left turning a full 360 degrees and stops.

Finally, it is our turn to get on the track. We tour a couple of times in the van with our instructor learning the entry, apex and entry points of the turns; noting well the brake signs. Turn 2 takes you around and down, leaving you to accelerate up a hill blindly. There is the tight hairpin, then the double “museum” turn that falls away from you as you head into it. Turn 13 again takes you into a valley before sending you uphill blindly into Turn 14 only to fall off again into another valley and uphill into Turn 15. Out of Turn 16 is the longest straightaway passing the start-fi nish line on the way back to Turn 1.

We follow our instructor out onto the track. We follow his path on the course trying to brake where he brakes and accelerate where he accelerates. He requires us to hit our marks in order to follow the proper line on the course, warning that we cannot pick up speed until we have the line down and grooved into our driving pattern. There is much to remember, hit your marks, brake on time, keep your eyes looking where you need to go, maintain mental focus From the straightaway we brake hard before the turns and in some cases “trail” brake application into the turns, then ease back into the accelerator and attain full throttle out of the turn exit points.

Day two begins with a review back in the classroom. The terminology that was peculiar before now has real meaning. Today downshifting will be introduced into the equation along with “heel and toe” pedal control.

Back on the track, the rest of the afternoon was devoted to perfecting what we learned yesterday. A few laps to renew our new skills and then instruction on where and when to properly downshift. Next, it is taking turns riding with the instructor to pick up some fi ne points on driving the course, including the new challenge of downshifting and upshifting at appropriate times. Day two is defi nitely more fun; you can sense the growth of your skills. The trepidation of heading into a turn at 90 miles-per-hour is transformed into a thrill by the perfection of yesterday’s lessons. Instructors continually remind of the importance of staying focused as we spend these fi nal hours on the track. There is no slacking on the track, and most fi nd occasional breaks are necessary and benefi cial.

The fi nal track time is spent on “hot laps.” These are laps driven by the instructors with the participants as passengers.

Looking back, I guess I should have known that the Porsche corporate executive knew what he was talking about when he told me that the Porsche Driving Experience was the thrill of a lifetime.



On behalf of Bob and Karen Campbell and the Santa Barbara Region Board of Directors, I’d like to thank each and every one of you who volunteered your time and eff ort at the sixth annual German Auto Fest – Ventura Show. It was another well attended all-Porsche weekend at the fairgrounds that would not have been possible without your help. This year, more than 100 of you participated and ensured that the show was safe and enjoyable for everyone. Your eff ort also brings a substantial cash contribution to the region from the Campbells. Thanks again for a job well done, and we’ll see you there next September.

Dave Stone

Thank you Ventura Show Volunteers!

What! November already? Does that mean the fabulous/dreaded holidays are coming, along with the fabulous/dreaded relatives?

We all know how diffi cult those Porsche people are to buy for; usually they buy everything for themselves - at least that’s what I do. What better time to enlist the help of the “Goodie Store Elves” to select that unique item that will make the perfect gift.

Special orders take the ordinary into extraordinary, and a bit of PCA/SBR embroidery onto a nice but common garment makes the transformation complete. We are really good at ideas, keeping secrets, and delivering on time, We may not have eight tiny reindeer, or even eight cylinders, but our noses are rosy, our cheeks are ruddy, and we are ready, willing, and able to make your favorite Porsche-philes dreams come true!

On a completely diff erent note, I have had the pleasure of recently spending time with fellow PCA/SBR members on two wheeled outings. No, I am not talking about motorcycling, I’m talking about, as my Australian buddy says, “push bikes”. That is right, bicycles, both road and mountain.

Much to my surprise, there is a large contingent of our members that like to recreate/stay-in-shape/navigate via the most effi cient form of transportation ever devised - the bicycle.

Goodie Store ReportNovember/December 2006

By Mike and Pamuela HodsonGoodieStore

Anyone that knows me will attest to my love for pedaling. For many years it has been my stress/sanity management program, although sometimes I wonder if the program is working!

My thought is to combine the passion for two wheels and four, with a suitably tasteful yet mildly wicked PCA/SBR cycling jersey.

Yes, yes, I know that for many lycra and manhood are mutually exclusive. I say function deserves it’s due, thank you very much.

Please contact me if you are interested in a PCA/SBR cycling jersey. My thoughts are to gather a number of orders, make a run of jerseys, and then show up in masse at a breakfast. Does that sound like fun or what?

The search continues for a 2007 Goodie Store Manager. It is my hope that we can fi nd a couple of interested people to help, so that the load will be light.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event.

Regards, Mike and Pamuela

PCA Sweatshirt

Love your Cab but hate to shiver? Tired of that old grungy sweatshirt you’ve had since Nixon was in offi ce? We can solve your problem with a stylin’, warm, practical sweatshirt. Made by Champion, so you know the quality is there, we off er grey or black, with the PCA National Logo embroidered on the front. Available in all sizes for $40.00, come by our booth at the next event for a “test drive.”

Price $40.00 each

PCA National Window Stickers

Off ered in “innie” and “outie” styles. The “innies” look great and don’t get rubbed off by that obsessive compulsive polishing and cleaning many of us practice. “Outies” look best on those vehicles with tinted windows, where an “innie” might be diffi cult to see. At just two bucks, you can experiment with both styles and decide which works best for you.

Price $2.00 each

How to Buy

All items in the Goodie Store are available at both Breakfast Club events (Camarillo and Santa Barbara) and at most special events.

To place an order or for more information contact Mike Hodson at [email protected] or (805) 279-2252.



A special man was honored by an august group of heroes on October 20, 2006, at the Pierpont Hotel in Ventura. SBR member Dave Stone offi cially retired from his position as Deputy Chief Investigator in the Ventura County District Attorney’s Offi ce after 36 years of dedicated service in law enforcement.

More than 140 guests attended the gala celebration of a career that included service in the Ventura County Sheriff ’s Department, Ventura City Police Department, and since 1985 in the District Attorney’s offi ce. The celebrants included representatives from each of those agencies. There were in attendance six Superior Court Judges; Michael D. Bradbury, former District Attorney; the current D.A., Gregory D. Totten; and a host of law

enforcement offi cials who served the citizenry in the past. Tributes, citations and awards came pouring in from elected county offi cials, state legislators, California’s governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George H. W. Bush. The latter’s letter commending Dave was read to the assembly.

The evening’s proceedings included a video presentation refl ecting on Dave’s life in law enforcement as well as his personal and family recollections. The emotional and moving collection of photographs spanning almost four decades gripped the audience and left hardly a dry eye in the room. After several speeches by dignitaries, Dave spoke to his friends, colleagues and relatives. His presentation expressed his sincere

appreciation of everyone who touched his life. He off ered special words of encouragement and comfort to those who succeed him and to those who continue their service to the community. The room was fi rst silent, then broke into spontaneous applause, when Dave addressed Susan, the love of his life, for the aff ection and support she has provided over the years.

Twenty-four members of the Santa Barbara Region were honored to have been included in the evening’s festivities. All members of our region are proud and privileged to be associated with an honest-to-goodness hero. Our respect and admiration are off ered to Dave, and we hope that he enjoys retirement to the fullest.

A wedding date has not been set but the nuptials are expected to take place next May. All of us wish the young couple the best of luck and success in their lives together.

Engagement Announcement


A select few members of our R.U.F. Committee on September 21, 2006 embarked upon a guided (just for our group) two-hour tour of the nationally recognized and honored Las Virgenes Municipal Water District facilities, and learned everything we always wanted to know about wastewater and how it is used to preserve and enhance our environment.

This award-winning facility uses state-of-the-art technology to transform wastewater into recycled water for use on public and commercial landscaping. The plant is capable of processing 16 million gallons per day (mgd), yet currently averages 9 mgd. A State-certifi ed water quality laboratory at Tapia assures that all Las Virgenes potable and recycled water meets the most stringent State and Federal guidelines.

Recycled water from Tapia is carried to irrigate highway medians, golf courses, school grounds, and landscapes through 52 miles of water lines, 2 storage tanks, 3 reservoirs, and 3 pump stations.

We also learned about Rancho Las Virgenes. Las Virgenes’ commitment to the environment is demonstrated at this unique facility. A small percentage of bio-solids from Tapia are applied to fertilize feed crops on Rancho’s 91 acres of farmland. The majority of the bio-solids go through an automated composting process, which produces about 20,000 cubic yards of rich, agricultural soil amendment annually. Over a 10-year period, Rancho will divert from local landfi lls enough solids to fi ll a football stadium to a height of 7-stories.

Our hosts for the morning were Deborah Peters, Communications and Media Coordinator, and Jacqui Gambel, biologist. Their joint presentation was illuminating and entertaining. The discussion included revelations of how potable and wastewater are transported over the mountainous terrain of the Malibu hills, how diff erent geological features dictate various fee rates, as well as a brief history on why, and how, LVMWD was formed in the 1960s.

After the tour, we traveled down to the Malibu Fish House on PCH for lunch. To get there, we drove along some of the most beautiful roads in the Santa Monica Mountains. Our main thoroughfare was Piuma Road, a rugged but spectacular winding road that climbs into the heavens before starting its decent towards the Pacifi c Ocean. Still, there were plenty of road repairs necessitated by the heavy rains of two years ago. Once at our lunch destination, seafood was of course the menu item of choice, and we occupied a couple of picnic tables on the patio overlooking the beach.

If you are interested in attending a future meeting of the R.U.F. committee, please contact the undersigned by calling 818/706-6016 or by e-mail at [email protected] Hope to see you soon at one of our fun and educational events.

Something Smelly About R.U.F. OutingPhotos and Words by Nicolas Liakas


A spectacularly sunny day greeted members of SBR’s R.U.F. (Retired and Unemployed Folks) Committee on October 18, 2006 as they embarked upon their latest mid-week adventure. The destination was the 45 acre production facility of Gallup & Stribling Orchids in Carpinteria. Yet another visual and learning experience awaited.

The group convened its “meeting” at the Sears parking lot in Santa Barbara and followed a back roads route that included the magnifi cent vistas from Mountain Drive through the hills of Montecito. After traveling along some of the most exclusive residential areas, the drive proceeded south on Highway 101 to Santa Claus Lane in Summerland and the entrance to the orchid farm.

Waiting for R.U.F.’s arrival was Bryant Hicks, our tour guide for the day. Bryant started the

tour by presenting a ten minute video on the history of Gallup & Stribling and some very interesting tidbits about orchids. For example, many of the varieties grown today in California and Florida trace their ancestry to London, England from where they were exported to safety at the height of The Battle of England in World War II. We also learned that orchid plants take up to fi ve years to develop, and that for every 60,000 seedlings of a new variety only ten (10) individual plants will be spectacular enough to salvage and clone!

Bryant escorted us throughout the grounds and provided details that transformed each of us into an amateur botanist. But the best treat was yet to come. We were introduced to John Ernest, the man responsible for the “creative” and reproductive end of the business. John hosted our inspection of the laboratory where

new varieties are born every year and where standards are propagated repeatedly. It was fascinating to witness the lab technicians housed in a sterile work environment, and the container room where literally thousands of seedlings are encouraged via climate and light controls to sprout into marketable plants.

Lunch at the Padaro Grill was the next item on the committee’s agenda. A short drive to the other side of the freeway, and the group arrived sharply at noon. Picnic tables under pine trees were a welcomed spot from which to gaze onto the blue waters of the Pacifi c. As usual, there was the customary and expected lively conversation accompanied by jokes and laughter. There was even some light-hearted gambling as Andy Gault wagered against Nick Liakas on whether certain events occurred in the early 1970s. Guess who lost the bet?

As an early subscriber to Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine, I have always enjoyed the magazine’s articles featuring actual owners’ collector cars. These articles provide great insight into a car’s unique features, its technical specifi cations, driving impressions, and always include the owner’s story about the car. Every month, I would look forward to reading articles about a wide range of collector cars such as the Sunbeam Alpine, Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale, Ferrari 308, Lancia Fulvia, Triumph GT6, and Acura NSX-T, just to name a few. One day, while reading the latest issue, it dawned on me. Hemmings should do an article on the Porsche 930 Turbo – and I had the perfect 930 Turbo to feature in the article!

The next day, I sent the editor an e-mail with a picture of my car and suggested that he write an article about my beautiful and rare 1979 Arrow Blue Porsche 930 Turbo. The following day, I received a response from the editor, Craig Fitzgerald. He said he thought my car was gorgeous and planned to have his West Coast Editor, Jeff Koch contact me to arrange a photo shoot and to write the article. I took the day off for the photo shoot, which occurred back in January of this year. Since my wife Judy and I had been successfully competing the car in Zone 8 Concours, there was not much that

needed to be done to get the car ready for the photo shoot. Jeff started by taking nearly 200 detail and action shots of the car. I discussed with him how this was the fi rst Porsche that I had ever owned and how I came to buy the car. We next went out for a drive through the Santa Monica Mountains passes so that Jeff

could drive the car and

write about his driving impressions. During the drive, we stopped along the side of Kanan-Dume Road to take some beauty shots of the car in the canyon. It was a long but fun day sharing both my car and my thoughts about the car with the writer.

Next came the long wait. I was told the article would be published in the July or

August issue. The July issue came, then the August issue, then the September issue, and still no article about my Porsche. Finally, I received an e-mail from Jeff with some good news. Not only would my Porsche be featured in the October issue, but the car would be on the cover! The long wait was worth it. Jeff did a great job photographing, researching, and writing about the 930, including describing his driving impressions of the car. The 6-page article even has a picture of me with my own story about my personal connection with these great cars.

I sold my Arrow Blue Porsche 930 to a PCA member in Chicago in April (and replaced it with a 2002 Porsche 996 Twin-Turbo), the article will always provide me with a fond memory of owning this very special car.

It appears as if our fi rst event will be held in June. The event will be a Driver Education held at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. We will be partnering with the Central Coast Chapter of the PCA on this one – and the exact date is still up in the air. Most likely, it will either be held on the fi rst or second Friday of the month (a one-day event is perfect for novices, and holding it on a Friday really brings down the cost of the event).
