The place I used to<br />
work had a saying:<br />
“If we did something<br />
amazing but nobody<br />
captured it in words or<br />
pictures, then it’s like it<br />
never happened at all”.<br />
Please don’t let this travesty befall the RMR<br />
<strong>Porsche</strong> club. We do all kinds of awesome<br />
events, get-togethers and festivities, but I<br />
cannot get them recorded for posterity nor<br />
shared amongst our entire membership if I<br />
don’t have content in the form of a simple<br />
write-up or a few photos. So, please send<br />
me a quick paragraph or two and deluge my<br />
In-box with photos from an event you were<br />
at that somehow involved a <strong>Porsche</strong> or two<br />
so I can get it included in HighGear.<br />
A great way to start is to feature your<br />
car “In the Spotlight,” which is a whole<br />
page dedicated to you and YOUR <strong>Porsche</strong><br />
in each and every issue of HighGear. All of<br />
us have some sort of story about how you<br />
obtained the keys to that Stuttgart special<br />
in your driveway. When we get together, the<br />
stories come pouring out about how, where<br />
and when you found that exact <strong>Porsche</strong>. If<br />
you are proud of your car, then please share<br />
your tale with the rest of us and show off<br />
that German-made beauty. Shoulder your<br />
humility, shyness, or fear of typing you may<br />
have and offer your constituents a glimpse<br />
into how that car found its way into your<br />
garage. I promise you, we’ll make it turn out<br />
spectacularly.<br />
The busy season for our club is over now<br />
that the mercury refuses to rise over the<br />

In December, the annual RMR holiday<br />
party and awards ceremony beckons with<br />
a gala event in downtown Denver.<br />
January calls us to a daredevil event on<br />
a frozen lake called Eiskhana. All vehicles<br />
are welcome as their drivers test their skills<br />
on a snowy, slick and slippery surface while<br />
wide-eyed witnesses revel in the spectacle,<br />
clutching mugs of hot cocoa infused with<br />
peppermint schnapps in their mittens.<br />
The <strong>Porsche</strong> Breakfast <strong>Club</strong> continues to<br />
meet all year long on the second Saturday<br />
of each month at the Village Inn on Colorado<br />
Blvd. just north of I-25. If you find you still<br />
need your <strong>Porsche</strong> fix and the blogs and<br />
chatrooms just don’t fill the bill, then<br />
gather around with your fellow lack-of-fairweather<br />
sufferers and wax poetic about all<br />
things <strong>Porsche</strong> until you burst.<br />
I can also tell you that members of<br />
your prestigious and prodigious Board of<br />
Directors have been working diligently<br />
behind the scenes to secure another year<br />
jam-packed with adventures for you and<br />
your <strong>Porsche</strong>. Recently, members of the<br />
RMR met with members of the AMR to<br />
coordinate schedules and help one another<br />
in as many ways as possible.<br />
What this means to you, dear reader, is<br />
that you will have plenty of events to sign<br />
up for and participate in. Just don’t forget to<br />
share your story and photos about it!<br />
