Editor’s Notes (Cont. from pg. 5)<br />
RSR programs might stay fairly strong<br />
as carriers of the corporate escutcheon,<br />
if anything because they don’t threaten<br />
any program from the rest of the VW<br />
holdings, <strong>and</strong> <strong>this</strong> may be the best news<br />
as arguably these cars advance the street<br />
cars we all can drive very directly. On the<br />
other h<strong>and</strong>, what becomes of the R8 <strong>and</strong><br />
R10, the “911 fighters” from Audi? Oh<br />
<strong>and</strong> how does the Panamera fit in against<br />
the A6 <strong>and</strong> A8?<br />
If you’ve got ideas <strong>and</strong>/or opinions<br />
about <strong>this</strong> let me know. Hey write up<br />
an article <strong>and</strong> share it with your club<br />
members; these are indeed “interesting<br />
times.”<br />
Speaking of the Panamera<br />
It is here! A Porsche with four doors. No<br />
that’s not a first, of course the Cayenne<br />
gets that distinction in history. But<br />
Porsche now has a sedan <strong>and</strong> the early<br />
driver reviews I’ve read are generally<br />
complimentary. The styling on the other<br />

h<strong>and</strong> revives the controversies that I<br />
remember with the Cayenne launch, those<br />
that hate it <strong>and</strong> those that love it with no<br />
one in between. I have not seen one in<br />
person so I’ll withhold judgment, but I<br />
will say that I’m hoping it looks better in<br />
the flesh.<br />
Epidermis<br />
I always thought that Epidermis was the<br />
name of a Roman Emperor. Or was he<br />
the guy that pulled the thorn out of the<br />
lion’s claw? But no, that is the correct<br />
Latin name for your skin. As the poem<br />
say, “be kind to your skin, it’s the only<br />
thing that holds you in.” After many years<br />
being outdoors, my own pelt is getting a<br />
bit used up. Enter the mostly painless<br />
Doctor Peter Helton, the friend to my<br />
skin. Can you imagine what I’d look like<br />
if Dr. Helton didn’t blast me with liquid<br />
nitrogen from time to time? And to top<br />
it all off, the good Doctor drives a GT3.<br />
That’s the kind of contact you can make<br />
in the Porsche Club, although I can’t<br />
guarantee you’ll end up as good looking<br />
as me. But it’s worth a try.<br />
Stimulus<br />
Mrs. Cooper is no stranger to deficit<br />
spending. When I borrow her car―the<br />
black BMW 750i I call the NSDAP staff<br />
car―I struggle to keep it to the left when I<br />
drive past South Coast Plaza or any other<br />
one of a dozen high-end shopping centers.<br />
Now you too can stimulate the economy<br />
by keeping your Porsche in tip top shape<br />
with our sponsors. Read the president’s<br />
column <strong>this</strong> month, Mr. Arm<strong>and</strong> Gastelo<br />
makes a good point.<br />
Ciao Bella!<br />
Speaking of Mr. Gastelo, I drove with him<br />
to Italy last month; yes really. Arm<strong>and</strong><br />
has an insiders touch with Pelican Resort<br />
<strong>and</strong> we got the royal Italian treatment,<br />
including a bit of bubbly on the terrace<br />
overlooking the sparkling blue Pacific.<br />
The whole day <strong>and</strong> tour which began<br />
at our newer sponsor (?) was molto<br />
Bello. It made us feel lucky, <strong>and</strong> happy<br />
to be part of the Orange Coast Region.<br />
So it is appropriate at <strong>this</strong> point to say<br />
Arreviderci.<br />
