President’s Message<br />
Story by Gordon Williams<br />
Happy New Year to all,<br />
What a great year 2012 was! We had<br />
many new activities and record setting<br />
turn out for many of our events, which<br />
will make 2012 the year to try to match.<br />
First of all, congratulations to<br />
Monica Asbury, Gary Labb and Ken<br />
Fredrickson who were all elected to your<br />
board of directors for a two year term.<br />
We could not do it without them.<br />
Second, thanks to Maryann, Peggy<br />
and Toni for a great Christmas Harbor<br />
Cruise! I enjoyed it<br />
as much, if not more,<br />
than any event I have<br />
attended to date. I<br />
hope we can repeat it<br />
next year. Also, our<br />
<strong>Toys</strong> for <strong>Tots</strong> with the<br />
Marines of 514 was<br />
a big success and we<br />
are already planning<br />
on repeating and<br />
expanding that activity<br />
next year. OORAH!<br />
<strong>This</strong> New Year’s<br />
success will depend on how many of you<br />
will volunteer for an event or activity.<br />
We are in desperate need of a Concours<br />
chair for <strong>2013</strong>, so please let us know if<br />
you can chair that committee. It would<br />
be great to have an AutoX person step<br />
up for the event so that we might more<br />
effectively reach out to that group for<br />
Concours participation. Beyond that, we<br />
need folks to lead a tour to a destination<br />
of their choice to help increase our tour<br />
activities for <strong>2013</strong>. To all of you who<br />
enjoy our activities, remember they can’t<br />
continue without your leadership. Lead<br />
one activity and help your club continue<br />
the success that you yourself have<br />
enjoyed.<br />
A personal thanks to all of our<br />
volunteers that participated in our 2012<br />
activities. You are what makes this club<br />
so enjoyable.<br />
I will be in Kenya for the last two<br />
weeks of January volunteering with a<br />
mobile medical clinic that works in the<br />
villages that don’t have access to proper<br />
medical care. I’m sure that I will have<br />
some interesting experiences to share<br />
upon my return. <strong>In</strong> closing, I’ve enjoyed<br />
all of our members and associates this<br />
year and I look forward to an even better<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. Remember to say thank you to one<br />
of our volunteers this month and I’ll see<br />
you in February!<br />
See you on the road!<br />

Editor’s Notes<br />
Story by Garey Cooper<br />
Garey & Maxine posing with their 991 on the Autobahn <strong>Tour</strong><br />
That Ribbon of Highway<br />
<strong>2013</strong> is here and with us now; 2012 has<br />
gone. A whole new year in which to<br />
play and stay with your friends on that<br />
ribbon of highway, from “<strong>This</strong> Land is<br />
Your Land”. It is my fervent hope that<br />
in <strong>2013</strong> I’ll see less of the skies over<br />
America and instead much<br />
more of the roads below.<br />
Blanche Bickerson is rarin’<br />
to go and so am I... and so, I<br />
hope, are you.<br />
It’s Your Club<br />
<strong>This</strong> year will be the first in a<br />
long while that I am not serving<br />
on the Board for the Orange<br />
Coast Region. My term is up<br />
and my schedule will have<br />
enough chaos left in it yet that<br />
I couldn’t really do justice to<br />
what needs to be done. But, I<br />
urge your involvement, as this<br />
would be a wonderful time to<br />
step forward and be a more<br />
involved part of a truly great car<br />
club. The normal way people get involved<br />
is to start attending the Board Meetings,<br />
which are conveniently scheduled after<br />
our 1st Saturday of the month Breakfast<br />
Club meetings at “Original Mikes’’ in<br />
Santa Ana. There is always something<br />
that needs TLC to be done. It’s a great<br />
way to meet the doers in the club and get<br />
acquainted with the organization and the<br />
names behind it. It is a great way to pay<br />
a little back and also a great way to be on<br />
the inside of the activities. I am proud of<br />
the friendships I’ve made along the way,<br />
as I hope that others have been happy<br />
to know me. These life experiences are<br />
much better than any you’ll find at the<br />
mall.<br />
The Christmas Cruise<br />
You’ll read elsewhere about the Christmas<br />
Cruise holiday gathering. I am sure it was<br />
a great time and a tradition for the club<br />
going back over many years to stage such<br />
a holiday party. It is a small break with<br />
tradition to have it in the afternoon rather<br />
than an evening party, but a fun new<br />
thought to go out on the water with our<br />
crew.<br />

Speaking of malls there is always the<br />
classified ad section in our Pandemonium.<br />

<strong>Toys</strong> 4 <strong>Tots</strong><br />
Compilation from Denny Asbury, Gary Labb & Major Andy Roberts<br />
Many Porches participated in the <strong>Toys</strong> 4 <strong>Tots</strong> drive<br />
Marine equipment was the backdrop for a fabulous <strong>Toys</strong> 4 <strong>Tots</strong> event<br />
A great new charity event for our club was this year’s “<strong>Toys</strong> for<br />
<strong>Tots</strong>” hosted by the U.S. Marines. Early in the event planning, it<br />
was decided to caravan from our normal monthly Krispy Kreme<br />
Gathering in Orange over to the <strong>Toys</strong> for <strong>Tots</strong> event at Bolsa Chica<br />
State Beach in Huntington Beach. Many members showed up by<br />
8:30 am to participate in our usual donuts and coffee and to stand in<br />
the parking lot and talk about cars, cars, and cars...<br />
Some of our participants brought toys but couldn’t caravan<br />
with us to the <strong>Toys</strong> for <strong>Tots</strong> event so they asked us to deliver their<br />
toys. The group of colorful Porsches traveled the 22 Freeway to<br />
Valley View, then headed towards the beach. Among the group<br />
were Denny & Monica Asbury, using this as an excuse to fire up<br />
the 930 and blast over to Bolsa Chica State Beach to support our<br />
admired service men and their special charity. Denny caravanned<br />
with an old friend in a BMW (sorry he didn’t know any better) but<br />
since he wanted to contribute to the cause, they let him join our<br />
superior German machines. There was a little panic when a steady<br />
red light was approaching in the #2 lane as we were exiting the<br />
freeway, but the police car continued eastbound without bothering<br />
us. Greg Lush said something about it being a “plain unit” that was<br />
playing with us. About 30 Porsches, from all different eras, pulled<br />
into the parking area at the far northern end of Bolsa Chica State<br />
Beach and had the Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines there as<br />
their welcoming committee.<br />
The Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines were happy to<br />
provide a display of some of their equipment for the members<br />
of the OCR as part of their toy run to benefit <strong>Toys</strong> for <strong>Tots</strong>. The<br />
Marines brought out a 7-ton truck towing an M777A2 howitzer<br />
artillery piece. They also brought out an armored Humvee, and<br />
several machine guns with which members could enjoy & get up<br />
and personal, Sgt. Darby, the howitzer section chief, gave a class<br />
about the howitzer and the ammunition that is used, and how the<br />
Marines use the weapon to provide long-range fire support. The<br />
club members enjoyed seeing the equipment up close and talking<br />
to the Marines, many of whom had just returned from a six month<br />
deployment to Okinawa, Japan. The Marines in turn loved seeing<br />
the fast cars and talking to the members about their Porsches.<br />
Our members donated lots of gifts that helped stuff the <strong>Toys</strong><br />
for <strong>Tots</strong> boxes provided by the Marines. Over the next few hours,<br />
even more Porsches pulled into the parking lot and off-loaded more<br />
toys.<br />
CL got an artillery lesson<br />
Mean machines and<br />
man’s best friend<br />
Sgt. Darby gave a class on the howitzer<br />
(Continued on Page 7)
<strong>Toys</strong> 4 <strong>Tots</strong>: (Continued from Page 6)<br />
More than six boxes of toys, and over 300 dollars, were collected<br />
for the <strong>Toys</strong> for <strong>Tots</strong> program, which the Marines distribute to<br />
underprivileged children in Orange County. A great time was had by<br />
all, and the Marines hope to have an even bigger event next year!<br />
PCA OCR sends a huge Thank you to Major Andy Roberts and<br />
the Marines of 5th Battalion, 14th Marines for providing the displays<br />
and the great conversation.<br />

Winding Roads and <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Story by Greg Heinlein<br />
Appetizers and Pear Valley wine greeted the group as they<br />
arrived at La Quinta<br />
What is it about autumn? We all feel<br />
it: a promise of the holiday season just<br />
around the corner, time spent with family,<br />
breaking out the wool sweaters once<br />
again, the snap in the air, the smell of<br />
a fireplace somewhere vaguely in the<br />
distance wafting along on a fall breeze. Or<br />
if it’s the first weekend in November near<br />
<strong>Paso</strong> <strong>Robles</strong>, more likely a 60 mph wind<br />
slipstreaming over a line of pristinely<br />
polished Porsches roaring toward a<br />
winery somewhere in the countryside of<br />
San Luis Obispo County.<br />
41 cars arrived Friday afternoon<br />
and evening, and eager participants<br />
gassed up their “blitz wagens” for the<br />
start of Saturday’s thrill ride, a chance<br />
to remember what a Porsche is truly all<br />
about. Friday night presented us with a<br />
tasting in the hotel lobby of varietals from<br />
the Pear Valley winery. After the tasting<br />
we strolled into the hotel’s dining room<br />
for a fabulous BBQ<br />
dinner and a chance to<br />
renew acquaintances<br />
with club members;<br />
some of whom we<br />
hadn’t seen since last<br />
November’s trip.<br />
Such a warm and<br />
wonderful group too, united<br />
as we are by a shared love<br />
of incredible automobiles,<br />
delicious wines and leisurely<br />
bonhomie. It was an early night<br />
as Sheriff Bob said we needed<br />
to assemble Saturday at 8 am<br />
sharp for the drivers meeting<br />
and an 8:30 departure.<br />
The drive to the first winery, Daou,<br />
was listed in the information sheet as a<br />
77.7 mile jaunt. From past experience we<br />
knew that Daou was most likely no more<br />
than a 5 mile trip from the hotel. But as<br />
we all know, driving a Porsche the long<br />
way over narrow twisting roads is often<br />
the very best way to go.<br />
<strong>In</strong> past years we had seen some<br />
sprinkles, but this time the weather<br />
cooperated and, while overcast, was dry<br />
and pleasantly cool. Our intrepid leader<br />
formed us up, got into his 1963 356B<br />
coupe, and off we went, out to highway<br />
46, right turn, down through town, and<br />
up into the hills. The group got a bit<br />
spread out but in this age of ready cell<br />
phones, it really wasn’t a problem.<br />
Hairpin turns followed by halfmile<br />
stretches of flat open roads in farm<br />
country; just the tonic for relief from<br />
work-a-day humdrum. After about an<br />
Sheriff Bob never fails<br />
to lay down the rules.<br />
and you better follow<br />
them!<br />
Porsches lined up at Daou<br />
hour we passed a guy walking on the side<br />
of the road and Margaret said, “Hey we<br />
passed that guy 30 minutes ago, are we<br />
going over the same ground again?”<br />
Sure enough, the entrance ramp to<br />
Highway 101 suddenly loomed large in<br />
front of us, and our line of rockets roared<br />
onto it. As the Sheriff explained later, he<br />
took a wrong turn somewhere and we<br />
had a deadline to meet at Daou.<br />
What a gorgeous winery, 10 acres<br />
perched atop a 2,200-foot knoll. Some<br />
felt the tasting was a bit pricey; however<br />
the wines were not bad.<br />
After tastings, a stroll around the<br />
grounds and a pause for our group photo,<br />
Views of the wine valley were simply stunning<br />
off we went to <strong>Paso</strong>livo, for an olive oil<br />
tasting. While there, we had a chance<br />
to look at some of the cars on our run:<br />
Tom and Sue Calvert’s blue metallic<br />
924 turbo. You won’t often see a finer<br />
example of this model.<br />
There were many “911” turbos of<br />
varying vintages, including Randy and<br />
Katie Hargrave’s neon green ‘07, and<br />
Jim and Pat Wehner’s ‘08 that was a<br />
dynamic shade of orange. Bob’s 1963<br />
aforementioned coupe is always a<br />
showstopper with his and Judy’s names<br />
in script over their respective doors and<br />
the well-traveled suitcase on the luggage<br />
rack over the rear-deck. John and Marissa<br />

A History of Porsches<br />
Story by Bruce Herrington<br />
Dec 18, 60: How It All Began the ‘51 Coupe in the family driveway in<br />
Ithaca New York before departing for my new job in Washington, DC<br />
“How do you like your Porsche,”<br />
said a voice over my shoulder.<br />
Wow, I thought, this guy knows how<br />
to pronounce Porsche. “Does the rear<br />
engine give you any problems in the<br />
snow?” he continued. Wow,” I said, “you<br />
really know your Porsches”. “Yes, as a<br />
matter of fact, I have some friends at my<br />
house right now who like Porsches. Why<br />
don’t you come join us?” So I followed a<br />
brown Ford station wagon to what turned<br />
out to be the December, 1960 meeting of<br />
the Potomac Region Board of Directors<br />
at the home of Bill Sholar, the founder<br />
of PCA. Needless to say, after a couple<br />
drinks, I joined PCA on the spot.<br />
I had gotten turned on to Porsches<br />
from reading Road & Track, my folks<br />
buying a VW Beetle as an economical<br />
second car and hanging around the race<br />
track at Watkins Glenn, drooling over<br />
Roger Penske’s and Bob Holbert’s RSKs.<br />
<strong>In</strong> those days the facilities at The Glen<br />
were pretty crude by modern standards.<br />
Even Stirling Moss would come race<br />
from an unpaved paddock, using portapoties<br />
just like the rest of us. Being able<br />
to look into the cockpits of the RSKs of<br />
both Bob Holbert and Roger Penske as<br />
they warmed up their engines, gave me<br />
an enthusiasm for the RSK that has never<br />
died.<br />
I acquired my split-windshield 1951<br />
Porsche Coupe in 1959 by swappingeven<br />
with a guy who was moving from<br />
upstate New York to Florida and needed<br />
the extra carrying capacity of my Beetle.<br />
Then a year later when I took a job<br />
with an R&D firm in<br />
Washington, DC, I almost wished I had<br />
the Beetle back but the Porsche was a<br />
real joy to have on weekend commutes<br />
back home through the mountains of<br />
Pennsylvania.<br />
I attended the 1961 “VI Parade”<br />
in the Berkshire Mountains of New<br />
England. The autocross used the<br />
entire track at Lime Rock. Since I<br />
was a ‘novice’ driver, I was not allowed<br />
on the track without some ‘instruction’.<br />
On the very first lap, my instructor spun<br />
us off into the dirt at the bottom of the<br />
big hill before the start-finish straight.<br />
No damage to the car. When I got to<br />
drive, I kept it on the pavement. Another<br />
memorable experience from that Parade<br />
was my being drafted on the morning of<br />
the Rally to fill in for a sick Navigator. I<br />
worked hard only to find that the driver<br />
got a trophy, but not the navigator. To add<br />
insult to injury, the official records still<br />
show the driver’s wife as the navigator<br />
of the 3rd place car.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 1964 I bought an SCCA E-Prod<br />
Speedster, retrofitted with a ‘street’<br />
engine. I converted it back to street<br />
configuration (basically wipers and<br />
headlights) and drove it around Northern<br />
Virginia. My next Porsche was a ‘59<br />
Coupe that I used as a daily driver after<br />
I moved to Southern California leaving<br />
the Speedster in Virginia. California<br />
driving was really different from what I<br />
had experienced in the DC area. Much<br />
more aggressive and the then-empty<br />
freeways were a real joy. That too was<br />
Press Enterprise on Riverside Region’s 35th Anniversary<br />
Picture from first ‘Last Race at Riverside’ conducted by Vintage<br />
Automobile Racing Association (VARA) in early ‘80s<br />
the era where on any Sunday one was<br />
bound to find a Parking Lot Autocross<br />
without even trying.<br />
I sold the ‘59 when I was relocated<br />
back to DC. I retrieved the Speedster,<br />
which now had rust holes in the floor pan<br />
from a couple years of outside storage in<br />
rainy, humid northern Virginia. Through<br />
Pano, I ordered a new full-bellypan for a<br />
356A. When I finally had the pan installed,<br />
it turned out to be a B pan, not an A. Since<br />
the car had already been equipped with<br />
B brakes (and vented backing plates) for<br />
racing, and since the shifter mounting<br />
point on the B transmission tunnel was<br />
so much handier than the long reach to<br />
the A shifter, I decided to go whole hog<br />
– B steering wheel, B shift lever, B-<br />
transmission and finally ‘58 B engine<br />
with the big oil thermostat. I believe it is<br />
the only ‘B Speedster’ in captivity.<br />
The Speedster has been used as a<br />
commuting car, daily driver, an autocross<br />
car, and as a racecar with VARA and<br />
HRG Hill-climbs. I even lent it to my<br />
step-son who, for over a year, drove<br />
it daily from El Toro to Coto de Caza,<br />
back when El Toro Road was two lane<br />
all the way from Trabuco Rd to Live Oak<br />
Canyon/Trabuco Canyon Road. A real<br />
Porsche road all the way to and beyond<br />
the Plano Trabuco gate.<br />
During one of my moves back and<br />
forth between metro-DC and metro-LA,<br />
my ‘51 coupe got very badly damaged.<br />

The Autocross Secret<br />
Story by Don Chapman<br />
A safe and controlled learning environment<br />
A great deal can be learned on the morning course walk with Steve Abbott<br />
<strong>This</strong> article is going to reveal one of the<br />
best-kept secrets about Autocross, but<br />
before we discuss this secret, I have a<br />
couple of questions for you.<br />
How did you learn how to drive?<br />
Do you think you are a good driver? How<br />
did you become a good driver?<br />
There are several ways we can all<br />
learn the art of driving. If you are like<br />
most people, you studied the rules of the<br />
road and practiced countless hours to get<br />
your drivers license. But what have you<br />
done to improve your driving skills in all<br />
the years after you received your driver’s<br />
license? Most everyone simply relies<br />
on their day-to-day driving experience<br />
to improve the skills necessary to keep<br />
themselves and their families safe on<br />
the road. Unfortunately, without the<br />
proper instruction and without the ability<br />
to successfully perform and practice<br />
the extreme maneuvers necessary to<br />
push you and your Porsche to the limit,<br />
you will not know how to handle your<br />
Porsche when mayhem strikes.<br />
<strong>In</strong>teresting fact #1:<br />
Did you know that if you ask any group of<br />
driver, over 95% would tell you they are<br />
a “good” to “very good” driver? Would<br />
you agree with that statistic?<br />
There is a very small percent of<br />
the driving population that will work to<br />
improve their driving skills by attending<br />
a performance driving school. These<br />
schools run the spectrum<br />
of teaching the basics of<br />
car control all the way up<br />
to obtaining a competition<br />
license. Companies like<br />
the Bob Bondurant School<br />
of Performance driving,<br />
located in Arizona, offer one<br />
to three day courses that can run up to<br />
$4,500, plus hotel. Porsche also offers<br />
a Sport Driving School. <strong>This</strong> awesome<br />
driving experience is held at the<br />
Barbers Motorsports Park just outside<br />
of Birmingham Alabama. The Porsche<br />
Driving School offers courses that start<br />
at $1,800 and run as high as $10,000.<br />
Add in the time and cost of travel and<br />
it’s no wonder why most of us will<br />
never experience this extra high level of<br />
instruction.<br />
Which brings me to the burning<br />
question on everyone’s mind. What is<br />
the best kept secret of Autocross? FREE<br />
DRIVING INSTRUCTION. We here in<br />
the PCA Orange Coast Region are blessed<br />
to have not only the best facility in the<br />
country to Autocross (El Toro Airfield),<br />
but we are also extremely blessed to have<br />
the best and most experienced group of<br />
<strong>In</strong>structors!<br />
If you are new to Autocross, you<br />
will be assigned an instructor. The<br />
instructor will go over everything you<br />
need to know to be successful in your<br />
A Special Thank you to our soon to be retired Chief Driving<br />
<strong>In</strong>structors - Rick and Dennis Neff (in yellow shirts)<br />
autocross adventure and to be a more<br />
skilled driver.<br />
You will learn how to properly set<br />
your car up for the Autocross course,<br />
starting with the correct tire pressures.<br />
You will learn the proper car settings,<br />
and seating position. Most importantly,<br />
you will learn how to drive your car<br />
faster than you ever thought possible.<br />
<strong>In</strong>teresting fact #2:<br />
Did you know that most accidents happen<br />
because people do not apply enough<br />
brake pressure?<br />
Our Autocross instructors will<br />
also help you learn the driving skills<br />
necessary to be fast. <strong>In</strong> a controlled and<br />
safe environment, you will learn how to<br />
threshold brake, throttle steer, and trail<br />
brake. You will learn how to look ahead,<br />
how to late apex and early apex a corner.<br />
You will even learn how to handle your<br />
car in a spin.<br />
If you will join us and participate<br />
in the next four Autocross events, I will<br />
personally guarantee that you will be a<br />

Show Me The Money<br />
Story by Dave Humphreys<br />
As you will recall from a previous<br />
article, when you buy your Porsche, you<br />
are essentially putting your money into<br />
a declining value savings account - in<br />
that you rarely get as much out as you<br />
put in. When you come right down to<br />
it, purchasing any automobile is a pretty<br />
dismal investment by any measure.<br />
You might say that leasing is<br />
somewhat similar to buying, but without<br />
the so-called equity “savings account.”<br />
With leasing, you have the option of<br />
putting your “savings“ (the difference<br />
between the monthly costs of buying<br />
vs. leasing; which can be substantial)<br />
into more productive investments.<br />
As a matter of fact, many financial<br />
advisors and accountants are currently<br />
encouraging exactly this practice as one<br />
of the benefits of leasing.<br />
But, let’s see how this can actually<br />
work. We’ll compare a typical lease<br />
(36-months) on an $85,000 Porsche at<br />
say 6% interest, a 0% loan and a 6%<br />
purchase loan. <strong>In</strong> an effort to keep things<br />
as equal as possible, we have assumed<br />
that a down payment is tendered in each<br />
case. Even then, leasing will invariably<br />
result in lower payments.<br />
Lease - 6% Loan - 0% Loan - 6%<br />
Porsche Price:<br />
$85,000 $85,000 $85,000<br />
Down Payment:<br />
$5,000 $5,000 $5,000<br />
<strong>In</strong>terest Rate:<br />
6% 0% 6%<br />
Residual:<br />
$51,000 n/a n/a<br />
Monthly Payment:<br />
$1,289 $2,222 $2,656<br />
Total Costs:<br />
$51,404 $85,000 $100,616<br />
*Note: The preceding chart was<br />
compiled using Edmund’s Lease Calculator<br />
(which is available free online), but does<br />
not include acquisition fees, sales/use taxes,<br />
registration/licensing fees, disposition fees,<br />
purchase option fee, etc. nor incidental<br />
fees charged by the leasing company for<br />
conducting business. These fees vary<br />
from state to state and from leasing company<br />
to leasing company. So, do shop around for<br />
the best deal. The chart is intended for simple<br />
(though reasonably accurate) comparisons<br />
only.<br />
As you can see, the short-term<br />
monthly cost of leasing (39-months or<br />
less) will always be significantly less<br />
than the cost of buying. For the same<br />
model Porsche with the same price, lease<br />
terms, and down payment, monthly lease<br />
payments will invariably be 30%-60%<br />
lower than purchase payments. <strong>In</strong> this<br />
example, that amounts to about $1,367<br />
per month; or, $49,212 overall. Now, I<br />
don’t know about you, but that kind of<br />
money is going to get my attention every<br />
single time.<br />
However, and this is also important,<br />
with the long-term leasing (exceeding<br />
42-months), the cost of leasing will<br />
always be more than the cost of buying;<br />
that is assuming the buyer keeps his<br />
automobile after the loan is paid off.<br />
So, be sure to keep this in mind when<br />
you’re negotiating with the dealer - don’t<br />
be talked into a longer-term lease just<br />
to keep the monthly payments lower.<br />
You’ll get burned it you do.<br />
Does this mean leasing is always<br />
better? Not necessarily. Payments are<br />
not the only factors that should influence<br />
your decision. There is much, much<br />
more to take into account before making<br />
any final decisions.<br />
If a buyer prefers to keep his/her<br />
Porsche after the loan has been repaid<br />
and drives it for many years thereafter,<br />
the overall costs will be spread over a<br />
longer period of time. It doesn’t take a<br />
theoretical scientist to figure out that<br />
the cost of buying one (1) Porsche and<br />
driving it for say ten (10) years is going to<br />
be less expensive than leasing or buying<br />
three (3) or four (4) Porsches over the<br />
same period of time.<br />
While we can’t put a dollar amount<br />
on everything, to put this into proper<br />
perspective, we need to look a little<br />
deeper into how each program (leasing<br />
vs. buying) differs one from the other.<br />
First, the similarities:<br />
• Both contracts contain a “finance<br />
charge”; which represents the<br />
interest paid for the money you have<br />
borrowed. <strong>This</strong> is the money that<br />
has been advanced to you or the<br />
dealer to purchase the vehicle you<br />
intend to either lease or purchase.<br />
It also includes reimbursement for<br />
any incidental business expenses<br />
incurred by the financier.<br />
• Both contracts set forth the amounts<br />
of the monthly installments to be<br />
paid over a specific period of time<br />
(usually months); and to whom they<br />
are to be paid.<br />
• <strong>In</strong> both instances, you are responsible<br />
to properly maintain the vehicle per<br />
the manufacturer’s written<br />
standards, repair any damage<br />
incurred, pay all applicable taxes<br />
and keep the license and registration<br />
current.<br />
Now, for the differences:<br />
• Leasing contracts include a<br />
“depreciation charge”; which<br />
represents compensation to the<br />
financier for the loss of the market<br />
value of the vehicle during the lease<br />
period.<br />
• At the end of the lease period you<br />
have the option of either buying the<br />
vehicle for a predetermined price<br />
(usually the “residual value”) or<br />
merely returning the vehicle to the<br />
leasing company with no further<br />
obligation - your choice. How about<br />
that?<br />
• It is important to note that the leasing<br />
company will maintain ownership<br />
of the vehicle at all times - unless<br />
you decide to buy it at lease-end.<br />

Book Review:<br />
PORSCHE<br />
by Peter Morgan, published in Oct, ‘12<br />
by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN<br />
Review by Bruce Herrington<br />
<strong>This</strong> book is part of Motorbooks’ FIRST<br />
GEAR series; books that are concise<br />
packages with hundreds of pictures and<br />
relatively little text. These wonderful<br />
summary books also have unique and<br />
wonderful “Did You Know ?” fact boxes<br />
that present fun, and very educational,<br />
trivia.<br />
PORSCHE is the perfect introductory<br />
book to new Porsche fans. It would be<br />
a great gift idea for the kids, grandkids,<br />
new acquaintances etc. A great way to<br />
get the next generation, or new people,<br />
excited about Porsche cars or the Porsche<br />
hobby. CT STOCKING<br />
PORSCHE is quite up to date, the<br />
ten chapters cover the development of<br />
Porsche from Porsche No. 1 through the<br />
991. The coverage of models is quite<br />
complete, though this<br />
reviewer is somewhat<br />
miffed that the<br />
924Turbo is covered<br />
but the 924S is not.<br />
No other gaps come to<br />
mind, but it is true that<br />
bodywork subtleties<br />
are not distinguished<br />
– the 356 is treated<br />
as a block, except for<br />
the Speedster. And for<br />
enthusiasts of ‘Vintage<br />
Racing’ , the coverage<br />
of race cars is largely<br />
focused on those of 6+<br />
cylinders.<br />

plentiful, and since most<br />

Rice’s Ramblings:<br />
Elusive Surging Ignition-Again<br />
1973 911 Carrera Impressions<br />
Story by Lee Rice<br />
The New Year is here with a New Hope<br />
for an improving outlook for everyone.<br />
911 ignition problems:<br />
Question: My 1982 911SC had some<br />
work done a while ago… and I notice<br />
my SC wants to accelerate and then as<br />
suddenly decelerate, only slightly all<br />
in a cycle lasting 1-2 seconds. Is there<br />
something I can do for this?<br />
Reply: The 911SC is particularly<br />
sensitive to ignition timing. Even slight<br />
mis-timing can result in surges, like what<br />
you are experiencing. The specifications<br />
for the 1982 are within the 1980 thru 1983<br />
SC Specifications. The timing must be<br />
checked at 950+ 50 rpm, with the red and<br />
blue vacuum hoses pulled off the ignition<br />
distributor’s “double vacuum box”. Next<br />
adjust the ignition timing to 5 degrees<br />
BTDC while maintaining 950 rpm. Then<br />
re-install the red and blue vacuum hoses.<br />
To check the “vacuum box” *<br />
(930.602.915.01) BOSCH: 1 237 122<br />
736 (See image # 1) Note* The RED<br />
hose provides vacuum for advance at<br />
cruise power. The BLUE hose provides<br />
vacuum for idle retard.*<br />
1. Check VACUUM RETARD: with<br />
blue hose connected, disconnect the<br />
red hose at the vacuum box’s front<br />
connection #2. Ignition timing must<br />
be between -3’and -7’ ATDC.<br />
2. Check VACUUM ADVANCE:<br />
Disconnect blue hose from<br />
connection #1, and disconnect red<br />
hoses from connection #2. Now<br />
connect blue hose to connection<br />
#2. Adjust idle speed to 950 +50<br />
rpm. -Ignition timing must be<br />
between 8’ to 12’ BTDC.<br />
3. Re- install red hose to #2 and blue<br />
hose to #1, adjust idle speed to 950<br />
+50 rpm<br />

9.3 – 2/13<br />
Anniversary<br />
<strong>2013</strong> is also an anniversary for us Porsche<br />
911 fanatics of old, as we recollect back 40<br />
years ago, history was about to unfold in<br />
an amazing and dramatic way. These 911<br />
cars we admire so much and just cannot<br />
seem to get enough of, were originally<br />
destined to build in a production life of<br />
about 5- 7 years. The 911 was, after all,<br />
an intended move-up from the 4 cylinder<br />
“putt-putt” image of Porsche. <strong>This</strong> is no<br />
put down either. The evolution of the 4<br />
cylinder Porsche came about in the early<br />
1930s and its history is a marvel from<br />
Ferdinand Porsche himself.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the 1960s Ferry Porsche and his<br />
sons wanted to make their own history<br />
with a new Porsche. A new design<br />
was the answer with a growing West<br />
Germany economy and a world market.<br />
<strong>This</strong> required an entirely new design<br />
with much more power, higher speed,<br />
more driver-passenger room and modern<br />
amenities. The 356 had evolved to its limit<br />
and then (1961) a more modern car was<br />
needed. <strong>This</strong> gave birth to Werk Design<br />
Nr. 901, then a new name: “911.”<br />
1973 was the arrival of a new upgraded<br />
version of the 911, which became<br />
a prominent racing car called the Carrera<br />
Renn Sport Rennen. A German way to<br />
state: Ralley/Sporting/Racing. Porsche<br />
was determined to reduce any weight<br />
not absolutely necessary by making the<br />
# 1 -SC ignition timing layout<br />
new 911 as lightweight as possible and<br />
still have a street/road drivable 911. <strong>This</strong><br />
gave birth to Porsche’s “less is more”<br />
philosophy. However, Porsche had to<br />
sell 500 basic examples of the RSR to be<br />
classified for homologation purposes that<br />
was the: “Carrera RS.” The RS enabled<br />
Porsche to be eligible to race in the Group<br />
4 Special GT Class. These were called<br />
the 911 2.7 Carrera RS, which became<br />
the basis for the full blown 2.8 Liter, all<br />
out racing, 2.8 Carrera RSR.<br />
From a long time ago I recall my<br />
first impression of the 2.7 Carrera RS, it<br />
was on my wedding day, June 16 1973.<br />
I had my 1968 911 perfectly polished<br />
and ready to gently speed my bride and<br />
myself from church –the very same car<br />
and same bride I have today. Thank<br />
You!<br />
Anyway, just before leaving for<br />
church the mailman delivered my<br />
Competition Press/ Autoweek and on the<br />
first page I saw, hot off the press from the<br />
Paris Auto Show, a pictured 911, in white<br />
with a blue “Carrera” stripe, blue centered<br />
Fuchs wheels and that famous ‘duck tail.’<br />
I was stunned! I was determined to have<br />
one someday, or in my case build one!<br />
SEE image # 2 (<strong>This</strong> has a familiar feel<br />
- like what is brewing for <strong>2013</strong> and 2014:<br />
the arrival of the Porsche 918) And with<br />
that in mind I asked my brother John<br />
Rice, to tell me his first impression of his<br />
first 1973 911 2.7 Carrera RS.<br />
“…Lee and I were due to meet in<br />
Monterey for a visit and Lee went out<br />

And what a group it was! (The Pando is in the front row)<br />
Behnke’s restored 1968 blue 911E coupe<br />
was a delight to see, and drew plenty of<br />
attention. Chris and Rebecca Robertson’s<br />

limited quantities, and a true head-turner<br />

“Hey, olive oil tasting is great, but<br />

up to the top of the hill, where a huge<br />
white “wedding reception tent” awaited<br />
our arrival. We heard that they are only<br />
permitted to host six or seven gatherings<br />
per year in that tent so we were quite<br />
honored and fortunate to be part of that<br />
group.<br />
We arranged our cars in long rows<br />
(talk about a photo-op!) in the grass on<br />
top of the now sun-splashed hilltop, and<br />
headed for the tent. The cooks had a huge<br />
grill going with mouth-watering aromas<br />
of sausages, chicken and lamb sizzling<br />
away. Servers walked about offering<br />
oysters and sausages to whet our appetites<br />
for lunch. The tasting booth<br />
in one corner of the room<br />
poured liberally, and the<br />
Opalo crew manning the<br />
booth advised us to return<br />
any time we needed more.<br />
The meal was superb: the<br />
wines, laughter and happy<br />
chatter flowed in great<br />
abundance. As the meal<br />
slowed Bob Savic and Greg<br />
Heinlein passed out cigars.<br />
So ladies and gents stepped out into the<br />
warmth, pulled up a hay bale, sat down<br />
and perused the rolling hillside vineyards<br />
spreading to infinity and watched a solo<br />
hawk wheeling overhead seeking his<br />
meal.<br />
There are indeed moments in life<br />
that you just wish would never end; this<br />
was certainly one of them. But we had<br />
many miles to ride and so, reluctantly,<br />
we pulled ourselves away from the<br />
reverie of Opalo and most headed off to<br />
Niner and yet another tasting. “Most,”<br />
because some of us headed back to the<br />
hotel for a nap to be fortified for the<br />
evening’s festivities.<br />
The heartier members from OCR<br />
headed for Jack Creek winery, owned by<br />
Doug and Sabrina Kruse, and famed for<br />
their Estate reserve Pinot Noir, and their<br />
“Concrete Blond” Chardonnay. The<br />
Kruse vineyard is a smallish 40 acres<br />
given over to 24 acres of Pinot Noir, 7<br />
acres of Syrah, 5 acres of Chardonnay,<br />
The Wehners and the Judds enjoyed lunch at Opolo<br />

Speedster Hill Climb = Driving Speedster in an HSR Hillclimb in<br />
Escondido, early ‘80s<br />
I didn’t get any money for the damage<br />
(long story) and the lowest bid I got for<br />
new windshield pieces (in 1972) was<br />
$1,500 per side! I gave up on being able<br />
to afford to fix the car and it is now in<br />
Northern California. I recently got to<br />
visit it in its fully restored condition and<br />
meet the current owner who drives it<br />
regularly.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 1990, I acquired my 4th Porsche.<br />
A 1968 912. It looked beautiful, outside<br />
and in. I got it from a co-worker at a new<br />
job and thought I was getting a great<br />
deal. When I got it home (I finally had a<br />
decent 5-car garage), I found that it was a<br />
disaster underneath. After a major tuneup,<br />
the engine was great and I put a lot<br />
of miles on it. For a while, I commuted<br />
300 miles every weekend and used it as a<br />
daily driver for almost ten years.<br />
I had dropped out of PCA in the mid<br />
‘70s, but in 1997, the stepson who had<br />
driven the Speedster in El Toro gave me<br />
a new PCA membership for Christmas.<br />
It was nice to see the new (to me) and<br />
glossy Pano. I had just moved from<br />
Oxnard Shores to Morongo Valley (from<br />
a 5-car garage to a 0-car garage), so I<br />
became a member of Riverside Region.<br />
Full of newbie vigor and enthusiasm,<br />
I started driving to PCA meetings, even<br />
to the board meetings 60+ miles away,<br />
because they usually had free food of<br />
some sort. <strong>In</strong> November of ‘00 the very<br />
capable president was re-elected. <strong>In</strong><br />
January ‘01, he announced a transfer to<br />
the east coast. As per the by-laws the<br />
remaining months of his term were to be<br />
filled by someone appointed to the job by<br />
the Board. <strong>In</strong> a fashion that seems even<br />
more implausible today than it did then,<br />
I, who had never<br />
even served on the<br />
Board, was appointed<br />
President.<br />
I found myself<br />
enthusiastic about this<br />
new challenge and<br />
very stimulated by<br />
the Zone 8 Presidents’<br />
Meetings and the great<br />
people I encountered<br />
there. I acquired<br />
an ‘86 Targa which<br />
became my Sundays<br />
and PCA meetings car. I got turned on<br />
by the torquey engine (compared to the<br />
4-banger Porsches I had been driving for<br />
decades) and stopped autocrossing the<br />
912 and ran the 911 instead. <strong>In</strong> 2003 I<br />
became Zone 8 Autocross champion for<br />
the Carrera 3.2 class in that car.<br />
When I could<br />
not find a volunteer<br />
to replace the<br />
retiring newsletter<br />
editor I took on<br />
the job of editing<br />
Unsere Gedanken.<br />
There is a synergy in<br />
being both President<br />
and Editor, which I<br />
feel leads to great,<br />
current and focused,<br />
newsletters.<br />
During my<br />
tenure as president,<br />
Riverside held its 30th anniversary<br />
celebration. We still had a couple of<br />
founders available to participate and the<br />
Press-Enterprise gave us a nice write-up,<br />
led off by a picture of me in my VARA<br />
Speedster.<br />
Though I’m not a Concours type, I<br />
had been performing the scoring function<br />
for the Concours at the Festival of Speed.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 1993 I got roped in by a friend to<br />
help with the Porsche Timeline at Lake<br />
Arrowhead and was head-honcho of that<br />
for about 5 years.<br />
About 3 years ago, I somehow got<br />
involved in writing ‘Book Reviews for<br />
Porschephiles”, a monthly column in<br />
Grand Prix Region’s The Circuit. That<br />
column is now also being printed in<br />
Pandemonium and in <strong>2013</strong>, it will also<br />
appear in Going Places, the Arizona<br />
Region monthly.<br />
While serving as President of<br />
Riverside, I had my arm twisted to buy<br />
a 924S that had been the property of two<br />
previous Riverside Region Presidents.<br />
For about 6 years starting in High School,<br />
I had been a sports car nut bumming<br />
rides with friends with MGs (TCs, TDs<br />
and eventually Bs) Trimphs (TR2, TR3<br />
and mostly TR3A), an XK120-C and<br />
an XK140-MC. One thing all these cars<br />
had in common was a large transmission<br />
tunnel and a deep, narrow foot well. The<br />
924S, being front engined, has a large<br />
transmission tunnel. As soon as I slipped<br />
into the cockpit I felt at home! All these<br />
decades in 4 cyl air-cooled Porsches I’d<br />
never realized that I missed the snugness<br />
of the cockpits of front engine sports<br />
cars.<br />
The bulk of my current fleet of Porsches in my garage<br />
Having added front-engine water<br />
pumpers to my collection, I became<br />
interested in the whole genre of Porsches<br />
– rear engine, front engine, mid-engine,<br />
air-cooled, water-cooled, 4 and 6<br />
cylinder. I now have examples of every<br />
configuration (except for 4WD and 4<br />
door). <strong>In</strong> a stroke of luck I managed to<br />
acquire a very slightly used, Thunder<br />
Ranch RSK replica at a bargain price. It<br />
is a real thrill to look at, just like I used to<br />
drool over Penske’s and Holbert’s at The<br />
Glenn. And I now have a garage (which<br />
I built all by myself), in which I have<br />
parked as many as 7 Porsches at once,<br />
but prefer to just have 3 project cars in<br />
it at a time.<br />

Rice’s Ramblings: (Continued from Page 15)<br />
# 2 - Autoweek June 16 1973 Carrera RS<br />
to the parking lot to examine my just<br />
acquired 1973 911 Carrera RS. As a<br />
proper enthusiast, Lee was on his knees<br />
and belly examining the important bits,<br />
then burst out laughing. I had just had<br />
a set of trick new Yokohama 008 tires<br />
installed to help keep it under control<br />
and the tire shop mounted the tires right,<br />
but the wheels wrong. The 7s were on<br />
the right side and the 8s on the left! Hey,<br />
it still worked better than any nonflared<br />
911 I had driven.”<br />
Back in 1973 we were quite<br />
disappointed that the Carrera RS was not<br />
going to be legal here in the USA and<br />
so would not be imported. <strong>In</strong> those days<br />
there was very little information about<br />
them. I found bits in Christophorus and<br />
looked for the foreign car magazines<br />
to read about them. If I ever loved a<br />
Porsche model, it has been the ‘73 RS.<br />
You know that I have owned and enjoyed<br />
an amazing variety of 911s over the<br />
years, so I can claim to be an bit of an<br />
expert on most all of them. A stock RS<br />
isn’t the fastest, most challenging, nor<br />
most exciting. It really isn’t the “best”<br />
either. I don’t believe that Porsche ever<br />
intended to build a Great Car when they<br />
produced the RS. They were trying to<br />
continue racing. The RS was merely an<br />
upgrade to a lightened 911 with what<br />
was necessary to produce a decent RSR<br />
racing car. It just happened to work out<br />
that it was a fantastic combination of<br />
parts that made for one of the nicest all<br />
around sports cars... ever.<br />
My first RS:<br />
I had only seen one before I saw “my”<br />
RS. That was the early RS prototype<br />
that Don Wester had at his Porsche<br />
Dealership in Monterey. I<br />
saw that car several times<br />
at his dealership and always<br />
with dealer plates. It totally<br />
mesmerized me.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 1986, while reading<br />
the S.F. Chronicle and, as<br />
always, scanning the Foreign<br />
Car Section, I spotted a new<br />
listing: a”1973 911 Carrera<br />
RS” from a small shop in<br />
Berkeley called Fantasy<br />
Junction. White/blue,<br />
Restored”. I nearly fell out<br />
of my chair. There was an RS in the area?<br />
And it is for sale? I had to see it.<br />
I quietly went to see the RS and<br />
started carefully, but discretely, looking<br />
it over. They realized this wasn’t my<br />
normal social visit when I asked if they<br />
minded if I opened doors/hood/lid,<br />
brought out my flashlight and crawled<br />
around looking underneath it. They had<br />
a thick document file that went with it.<br />
Over the next week it was time to<br />
step up to the plate. It was time for a test<br />
drive. Mike Duffy was the lucky sales<br />
guy. He seemed a bit nervous about this.<br />
He had never been in a car with me but<br />
he knew my sports car and SCCA racing<br />
history so I didn’t appreciate why he<br />
seemed so anxious. He drove it out to<br />
the open Berkeley Marina area where we<br />
wouldn’t bother anyone and turned it over<br />
to me. To me, this was a very special car,<br />
but it was mainly because the factory had<br />
built something that worked so well, not<br />
that the performance level was so special.<br />
By this time I had read many detailed<br />
stories about driving,<br />
racing and rallying<br />
these cars and<br />
some stories were<br />
incredibly detailed<br />
about how the cars<br />
reacted. They were<br />
pretty much just<br />
big bore 911S’ with<br />
wider rear wheels/<br />
tires, slightly better<br />
suspensions and a bit<br />
lighter. Pretty much<br />
what American 911<br />
enthusiasts had been<br />
building for years.<br />
# 3 - JhR’s RS Carrera -1986<br />
It sounded just like any other hot MFI<br />
911 except for a slightly guttural note<br />
to the exhaust and it was obviously set<br />
up stiffer than a genuine stock RS. I also<br />
noted the 80% limited slip installed. I<br />
knew that they cause “unusual” handling<br />
characteristics when driven with vigor<br />
and I certainly was going to do that<br />
before I bought it.<br />
There was no one around when I<br />
carefully felt out the clutch engagement<br />
and gently started off. Listening to<br />
every sound and feeling out the engine<br />
response, suspension and brakes. Finally<br />
it was time to give it serious stick. I<br />
advised Mike that I was about to finally<br />
DRIVE it and... all hell broke loose! You<br />
hear the term “explosive” and it is just a<br />
word. There was something so instantly<br />
raw and brutal about this little 911.<br />
It was very well set up and put the<br />
power down with no trauma, but the<br />
engine had a particular banshee wail<br />
unlike any of the upgraded 911s I had<br />
driven. It pulled “like a freight train…<br />
a darned fast freight train”. Gads! <strong>This</strong><br />
thing was intoxicating! I also discovered<br />
that the testers from CAR magazine were<br />
correct. The 80% was severe. On the<br />
highway if you cruised along and nailed<br />
it - the car moved to the left about 2-3<br />
feet, let off full throttle and it instantly<br />
snapped right about the same. Very<br />
controllable and no problem... after the<br />
first few goes and you realized it was<br />
predictable and wasn’t really trying to<br />
kill you. Basically, it was incredibly fast.<br />
It was the most exciting [controllable]<br />

Winding Roads & <strong>Wine</strong>: (Continued from Page 17)<br />
Eat my dust<br />
and 4 acres of grenache. Their pinots are<br />
dynamite!<br />
With that tasting completed the<br />
group departed for the hotel, with prudent<br />
stops to gas up, as the afternoon wound<br />
down.<br />
Dinner was at Eberle, about five<br />
minutes west of the hotel. Palpable<br />
excitement charged the air as we<br />
realized that this was the night we all<br />
set our clocks back an hour and got an<br />
extra hours’ sleep. The mood was, “let’s<br />
party!” After the tasting room, where<br />
you must try the 2009 sangiovese, oh<br />
my! Bottles tucked under our arms, we<br />
descended to the wine cave where tables<br />
were laid out with linens and candles.<br />
Dinner consisted of tri-tip, salmon or a<br />
vegetarian selection.<br />
What would the Saturday night<br />
dinner be without a round of joke telling?<br />
You have not lived until you have heard<br />
Bob’s joke about the bear hunt. Bob and<br />
Judy thanked everyone for attending<br />
the weekend, and then they recognized<br />
those folks who have helped them make<br />
the trip such a success, including the<br />
Hollanders and the Douglas’s. Bob also<br />
mentioned that we would not be leaving<br />
until 9:30 the next morning, and so that,<br />
coupled with setting the clocks back, lent<br />
a promise of plenty of rest and relaxation<br />
for the Sunday events.<br />
Margaret and I followed our usual<br />
tradition of heading home after breakfast,<br />
better rested to face a busy Monday, but<br />
those who stayed for the Sunday activities<br />
raved about Tobin James, always a fun<br />
tasting in a setting reminiscent of a stage<br />
coach stop. It is less a mere tasting, and<br />
more of a party.<br />
Our sources filled in the day’s events:<br />
Pear Valley was next, and that is the<br />
winery that sent over a tasting on Friday<br />
in the hotel lobby. Another beautiful<br />
hilltop setting with ambiance abundant.<br />
Wild Coyote is a fan favorite and treated<br />
us to a scrumptious BBQ lunch. Giovanni<br />
gave us a talk on the fine points of being<br />
a small winemaker and the changes in<br />
California winegrowing with the influx<br />
of corporations buying vineyards. After<br />
a quick stop for port and cigars at <strong>Paso</strong><br />
Port, the remaining few made their way<br />
to Bob & Judy’s new digs for a tour and<br />
a hearty Hungarian goulash.<br />
Most of you know Bob had a heart<br />
attack and bypass surgery shortly after<br />
the tour. We wish him a speedy recovery,<br />
as it wouldn’t be the same in <strong>Paso</strong> <strong>Robles</strong><br />
with out sheriff Bob and his Lady, the<br />
beautiful Judy.<br />
Right - The<br />
die hards had<br />
a true treat of<br />
Judy’s famous<br />
Hungarian<br />
Goulash at Bob’s<br />
new home<br />
First timers included Sean & Laura Taeger and<br />
Joel & Patti Sheiner<br />
Tobin James is a favorite with the ladies<br />
The wine caves provided a perfect backdrop for<br />
our Saturday night meal<br />
Left - tobin<br />

better, in fact, that it could someday save<br />
your life or the life of a loved one. How<br />
is that for a guarantee? Can you afford to<br />
pass up this opportunity?<br />
I would like to send a special<br />
“THANK YOU” out to Lisa Taylor and<br />
Tom Ridings of the Flying “L” Ranch<br />
for their generous sponsorship of the<br />
November 4th Autocross. They did so<br />
in grand fashion by providing everyone<br />
with a delicious catered Taco lunch that<br />
included all the trimmings. I would also<br />
like to thank Walter’s Porsche for their<br />
continued sponsorship and support<br />
throughout the year.<br />
We look forward to seeing you at<br />
our next Autocross event.<br />
One of the fastest<br />
cars of the day!<br />

Rice’s Ramblings:<br />
(Continued from Page 23)<br />
car I had ever driven. Everything worked<br />
great. I made the deal. SEE IMAGE #3<br />
I absolutely loved this car. <strong>In</strong><br />
retrospect, it really was a racecar for<br />
the street. I ran it at Laguna with POC<br />
and was the only street tire car running<br />
the Red Group. I started off about a half<br />
lap back as to not get in their way. After<br />
a few laps I caught up with the group.<br />
Amazing. I didn’t dare try cornering with<br />
these guys but I followed along looking<br />
at their huge flares and 14” rear tires<br />
and backed off early for the duration. I<br />
had learned in SCCA that you didn’t try<br />
to out corner guys running huge race<br />
rubber unless you liked eating dirt... or<br />
walls. Oh, I was a fine driver but it was<br />
THE CAR that was sensational. On the<br />
cool down lap the corner workers were<br />
walking out from their stations and<br />
applauding. I knew it was this fantastic<br />
car they were honoring, deservedly so.<br />
Sadly, I sold the “RS” within a<br />
year. I have owned a ton of neat cars<br />
since. Nothing, nothing quite like this<br />
beast. One of my current cars is an early<br />
996 GT2. Yes, it is also an animal. Just<br />
like that first RS was. And just like the<br />
2.7RS… you have to control it with<br />
fast hands and a very well trained and<br />
disciplined right foot.<br />
There is no question in my mind<br />
that the early RS was not only incredibly<br />
exciting but it was the most fun car I ever<br />
owned. I could write for pages about my<br />
fun/crazy experiences. A particularly<br />
excitable lady friend in San Francisco<br />
was enjoying my tour of all the spots<br />
they used in filming Steve McQueen’s<br />
movie, “Bullitt”.<br />
She asked me if my RS would<br />
“jump” like in the movie? Hey, that’s too<br />
easy and dangerous. How about a jump<br />
UP the hill? So we did. I expected it to<br />
get light and let her stomach know we<br />
were almost airborne. <strong>In</strong>stead, we sailed<br />
up over the intersection and landed about<br />
3/4 across it. I thought I had destroyed<br />
my front end. Some people nearby were<br />
looking at me like I was a crazy person.<br />
I knew that it was time to get out of there<br />
and hoped I wasn’t leaving any RS parts<br />
behind as I quickly and quietly as possible<br />
left the scene. Once I was in virgin<br />
territory I stopped and scrambled to see<br />
what I might have broken... nothing. Not<br />
a trace of damage. For decades she has<br />
delighted in telling people about when I<br />
took her flying in SF in that RS. And, yes,<br />
it is just one of many great memories of<br />
a great car.<br />
Last comment: I verified that it<br />
had been raced but not the details. I<br />
also discovered that one reason this<br />
thing was so fast was that it actually has<br />
very high compression 2.8.liter pistons<br />
and cylinders! So, take a stock RS, add<br />
suspension and about 50 hp! Not so<br />
stock, but oh so exiting and I wish it were<br />
still in my garage…<br />
While there are endless articles,<br />
books, dedicated magazines and how<br />
to make a copy-cat RS version etc, etc,<br />
-nobody knows what a RS is really like<br />
but those who knew how to fully use one<br />
and ventured on street, road and track<br />
with one of their own. I hope you enjoyed<br />
it. <strong>This</strong> is an impression like none other.<br />
Godspeed<br />

<strong>JANUARY</strong> <strong>2013</strong> 31
Editors Notes: (Continued from Page 5)<br />
I call it the “guys wish list” because there<br />
are always some great cars on sale and<br />
some interesting “stuff” to be had. It is<br />
one section of the magazine I never miss<br />
and I always look forward to reading.<br />
Kept for many years by Bob Weber, we<br />
really appreciated his work in this area.<br />
I have even bought some things from<br />
fellow members sourced out of the ads, a<br />
fellow enthusiast usually, and usually that<br />
hard to find item.<br />
Vroom Vroom<br />
Speaking of “guys stuff” there is a button<br />
or switch in the newer Porsches that<br />
my friend Jay Warren calls “the man<br />
button”. <strong>This</strong> is the switch to open the<br />
exhaust chamber and add some throat<br />
to the sound quality emanating from the<br />
internal combustions we’ve paid for. I<br />
like that name because it really doesn’t<br />
add any horsepower or alter handling: it<br />
just makes noise. A delightful noise and I<br />
think one of the true reasons that Porsche<br />
remains the icon it does today.<br />
The latest generation of Porsches<br />
actually acoustically pipes the sound of<br />
the exhaust on demand with the “man<br />
button” into the interior of the car.<br />
It’s been written up in some of the car<br />
magazines as being a specific engineering<br />
mandate to enhance the aural experience<br />
of a Porsche.<br />
Blanche Bickerson, the 2007 GT3<br />
that I own, has a “man button” that I love<br />
to push open. You can hear the timbre<br />
of sound change from a higher pitch to<br />
one having a little more “bottom” or<br />
bass to it. Wonderful symphonic sensory<br />
overload at 7,000 RPM. I am not sure my<br />
new neighbors would so agree however.<br />
So I try to be a little discreet when and<br />
where I use it. But I do use it…<br />
Not Again<br />
Yes, again. I was rear ended in our Q7<br />
on the 5 Freeway the Wednesday of<br />
Thanksgiving eve, again. The first time<br />
was three years ago on the 22 Freeway<br />
on a rainy morning. <strong>This</strong> time it was the<br />
afternoon and the fellow that hit me was<br />
himself shoved into me by the impact of<br />
the person who started the chain reaction<br />
by running into him. It must have been<br />
quite an impact as his contact with me<br />
was violent and enough to do some<br />
damage. It’s sobering to go through these<br />
as they make you aware of the capacity of<br />
these machines to do real injury. We get<br />
jaded driving along every day and don’t<br />
necessarily ponder the potential forces at<br />
play when an object weighing two tons is<br />
doing 50-70 miles an hour. Thankfully, I<br />
was only doing about 5 miles per hour. I<br />
have no idea what the person that started<br />
the fender crushing was speeding at<br />
but given the heavy traffic it would not<br />
have been the normal unfettered freeway<br />
velocities. Still the impact was jarring,<br />
and had enough shock to make me think<br />
about what an impact at say 60 miles per<br />
hour might be like, after this I truly don’t<br />
want to know.<br />
There was damage to my hatch lid,<br />
bumper, rear lights and I am sure plenty<br />
of small unseen bits and pieces further<br />
inside the overall mechanism. Enough<br />
that the insurance estimate was nearly<br />
$3,000. Because I was the “hittee” and<br />
not the “hitter”, the body shop guy told<br />
me “it won’t cost you a cent sir”. Ha!<br />
Every one of us paying the insurance<br />
bill is paying plenty of cents for these<br />
incidents. I am sure that if this was<br />
coming out of my own pocket I’d find<br />
a way to cut that overall cost down.<br />
But accidents are so normal that their<br />
aftermath and cleanup is an industry in<br />
its own right.<br />
I am just so glad it wasn’t the GT3<br />
that got nailed. Besides just being the<br />
pet that it is, there are unseen costs even<br />
after an accident. With “carfax” one can<br />
now see if any car has been in the repair<br />
shop. So if you are buying one, there are<br />
two to choose from and one has been in<br />
an accident, oh well, which would you<br />
choose?<br />
Wham, Zoom to the Moon<br />
<strong>In</strong> <strong>2013</strong> anyway, for the moon is only one<br />
of the destinations. Your Porsche Club of<br />
America, Orange Coast Region of Zone<br />
8 will have a full calendar of fun and<br />
interesting events. Come on out, make<br />
this the year you get involved and make<br />
more use of that Stuttgart wonder in the<br />
garage. Have fun. And I hope to get the<br />
chance to meet you when you do come<br />
out and join us!<br />

Book Review: (Continued from Page 13)<br />
are derived from British publications,<br />
they seem fresh to American eyes. Photos<br />
do support the narrative, but there are no<br />
photo captions per se.<br />
Though the story focuses on<br />
individual models, the narrative ties them<br />
all into a Porsche Timeline [sorry], of<br />
the evolution of Porsche design. Though<br />
nits can be picked by aficionados (longer<br />
wheelbase listed for for ‘68 cars, not in<br />
‘68 for ‘69 models, and calling the 912<br />
the first entry level model (somewhat<br />
slighting the Speedster), etc.), but<br />
the ‘entry level’ reader will just be<br />
fascinated by the eminently readable<br />
story, and indeed, for the neophyte,<br />
casually interested in learning more<br />
about Porsche cars and their history, such<br />
subtleties would only muddy the picture.<br />
None the less, the narrative about how<br />
Porsche developed and responded to the<br />
market place, as well as it’s relationship<br />
with VW, is fascinating reading for even<br />
the knowledgeable Porsche fan. <strong>This</strong><br />
reviewer was surprised by the number<br />
of instances presented showing Porsche<br />
under-estimating the market for it’s cars<br />
- almost as conservative as Nissan’s<br />
labeling of it’s initial offerings to the<br />
USA as Datsuns, so that the anticipated<br />
flop wouldn’t besmirch the Nissan<br />
Corporate image.<br />
Overall, PORSCHE is indeed ‘a<br />
book for all readers’. It is a wonderful<br />
introduction to the Porsche marque for<br />
the novice Porsche fan, and a concise,<br />
but enlightening, summary of the history<br />
of Porsche cars for the enthusiast. Be<br />
sure to have a copy for yourself, and<br />
for the neophytes whom you may<br />
encounter. Particularly if you have<br />
some ‘top-level’ knowledge of Porsches,<br />
the details and specifics presented make<br />
fascinating reading and tie all previous<br />
bits of knowledge into a new, cohesive<br />
whole. Three-fifty-six die-hards may<br />
feel that they have been slighted in this<br />
book, but they must remember that they<br />
represent less than one-third of Porsche’s<br />
chronological history, and their 80,000<br />
cars are less than the production for the<br />
year 2005 alone!<br />
Not overly technical or esoteric, this<br />
book is one that every Porsche enthusiast<br />
should have, for an enjoyable read, and<br />
to indoctrinate the uninitiated. If one was<br />
to have only one book about Porsches,<br />
this is the book to have!<br />
PORSCHE is a handbook-sized<br />
paperback with 240, 6.5 x 8.24 inch<br />
pages, including 306 color and 28 b/w<br />
pictures. It is the perfect gift to engage<br />
the young Porsche lovers in your life.<br />
It should be available for the bargain<br />
price of only $19.99, from your favorite<br />
bookseller (ask for it) or from http://<br />
www.Motorbooks.com, It really is a<br />
‘don’t leave home without it’ book for<br />
the Porsche fan.<br />
