President’s Message<br />
by Pres. Gordon Williams<br />
Greetings all!<br />
As most of you know I try to use this<br />
column to thank some of the folks that<br />
spend their time <strong>and</strong> energy to help<br />
this club continue it’s journey towards<br />
excellence. Last month I pointed out<br />
those responsible for taking on this year’s<br />
Concours, <strong>and</strong> in so doing I forgot to thank<br />
someone that without their unselfish<br />
commitment to this activity it certainly<br />
would not be back at one of our favorite<br />
locations, Dana Point Harbor. Joe Nedza,<br />
thank you for all of the time <strong>and</strong> effort<br />
you put in to help us secure this location<br />
once again. I know from following all<br />
of your correspondence that it was not<br />
easily done. I am convinced that your<br />
commitment <strong>and</strong> strategic approach is<br />
what finally turned the municipality in<br />
our favor. Thank you Joe!<br />
April was a great month for activities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Festival Of Speed was great! As<br />
the temperature increases, so do our<br />
activities.<br />
Remember that all of our activities<br />
for 2013 are back on the P<strong>and</strong>o Calendar<br />
<strong>and</strong> online, so check for all of the year<br />
‘s activities <strong>and</strong> make sure you calendars<br />
in your favorite club activities. Look for<br />
a first time, 3-day S. Utah tour, lead by<br />
your VP Greg Lush, sometime in the fall.<br />
I can’t wait for that one!<br />
<strong>In</strong> May, one of the most important<br />
<strong>and</strong> well-attended events that we have<br />
is our New Member Picnic. Bring the<br />
whole family! All 2012 <strong>and</strong> 2013 new<br />
members are free, 5 bucks for all other<br />
members. C. L. <strong>and</strong> his volunteers do a<br />
great job <strong>and</strong> it has become one of our<br />
most highly anticipated events. As usual,<br />
it will be held at Laguna Niguel Regional<br />
Park.<br />
<strong>This</strong> month, in addition to our<br />
usual weekly activities, we are having<br />
a Petersen Museum Tour on Mother’s<br />
Day. Two years ago we sold out <strong>and</strong> had<br />
to lead two groups to this tour; over 120<br />
folks were in attendance. Make sure you<br />
register early.<br />
I’m including an Easter photo of<br />
half of my family; my daughter <strong>and</strong> sonin-law<br />
were behind the camera eliciting a<br />
smile from my gr<strong>and</strong>son Sutton. I hope<br />
everyone had a great Easter <strong>and</strong> will<br />
have a great Mother’s Day!<br />
As always, thank you to all of<br />
our members <strong>and</strong> associates for their<br />
participation in our events. Remember,<br />
our club runs on volunteers, no matter<br />
how little or how much they choose to<br />
be involved. Please take the time to say<br />
“thank you” to one of our volunteers this<br />
month.<br />
I’ll see you on the road!<br />

Editor’s Notes<br />
Story by Garey Cooper<br />
Max & Garey at La Quinta<br />
<strong>In</strong> the early morning a flat six comes<br />
to life, its seesaw symphony a part of<br />
our way of life. Neither Caruso nor<br />
Pavarotti ne’er sang a note so true.<br />
Every gearheads heart will reckon to<br />
give that note its due!<br />
Wax on, Wax off<br />
I am very flattered to have heard from our<br />
2013 Concours Chair, Mr. Norm Follis,<br />
asking if I could emcee the White Gloves<br />
Concours this year. After 38 seconds of<br />
consideration I replied, “yes, of course”<br />
My White Gloves roots are getting<br />
into 10 years or so now <strong>and</strong> amongst a<br />
host of pleasant memories is Mr. Follis<br />
himself. Typical of so many of our club<br />
members, Norm is the kind of guy that<br />
enhances the experience of owning a<br />
Porsche <strong>and</strong> being part of a group that<br />
appreciates that small fact. Norm has<br />
been a Concours Chair in the past, most<br />
recently 2011, <strong>and</strong> will ably carry on the<br />
role that Louise Bent carried last year.<br />
A behind the scenes note is that<br />
Louise <strong>and</strong> past President (<strong>and</strong> new mom)<br />
Nicole Cooper-Boggs were challenged<br />
in 2012 in finding a venue. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
a lot of “sweat equity” expended <strong>and</strong><br />
ultimately we ended up at Shady Canyon<br />
Country Club. <strong>The</strong>se ladies <strong>and</strong> the other<br />
volunteers should get a lot of credit in<br />
ensuring there was even any kind of<br />
Concours in 2012… there were doubts.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 2013 we return to “Lantern Bay”<br />
in Dana Point. <strong>This</strong> is one of nature’s<br />
beauty spots on the California Coastline,<br />
certainly. It is our own Orange Coast<br />
Region’s “Pebble Beach” with Cars,<br />
Coastline <strong>and</strong> surf together in one<br />
special spot. Everywhere you look is a<br />
“photo op”, whether it’s the cars or the<br />
people, there is something enticing <strong>and</strong><br />
interesting to see. A few years back there<br />
was a wedding going on behind our<br />
Concours at the hotel. I am sure that this<br />
couple is still talking about the 120 or so<br />
Porsches on the lawn behind them. <strong>The</strong><br />
date this year is Sunday, September 15th.<br />
So please put this on your calendar <strong>and</strong><br />
make sure to bring the family along. It is<br />
one of our most “family friendly” events.<br />
By the way, it should be mentioned<br />

DO YOU OBSESS ABOUT YOUR DAILY DRIVER?<br />
( I DO! )<br />
Story by Paul Kramer<br />
<strong>This</strong> is one of those terms that many of us auto enthusiasts take for granted. However, have you ever mentioned this to your<br />
average person who only sees cars as a means to travel from point A to point B (i.e. Prius owners)? <strong>The</strong> usual response you get is<br />
anything from a blank stare to a perplexed expression like a dog waiting for you to throw a ball. It is such a common vernacular<br />
among us car people that we forget that 99% of the world has no idea what we are talking about.<br />
A “daily-driver” (as defined by us car folk) is simply a car that we use for all our mundane day-to-day activities. <strong>This</strong> car has<br />
to do everything from taking us to work, picking up the kids from schools/activities, shopping at Costco <strong>and</strong> driving the family<br />
to Gr<strong>and</strong>ma’s for Thanksgiving. Basically, it has to do everything you wouldn’t dare use your “Sunday-drive-to-the-car-show”<br />
car for.<br />
Like women who need shoes for all occasions, we really need several daily drivers to fit our diverse lifestyles. I have taken<br />
it even a step further. I tend to dwell on the idea of the “perfect” daily-driver. I have even created lists of my favorites as well as<br />
ranked them in different sub-sects of daily driving. I think of it as more of my own automotive kingdom classification. <strong>The</strong>re is the<br />
commuting-to-work phylum, which is then broken down into two different families: over-25-miles-to-work class or under-10-milesto-work<br />
class. From here, you can further segment the list into the “what-part-of-the-country-you-live-in” genus. For example, let’s<br />
say your profile was:<br />
• Live less than 5-miles to work;<br />
• Vehicle will be shaded all day (carport or subterranean parking);<br />
• Dress attire is business casual with open-toed Tuesdays <strong>and</strong> Thursdays;<br />
• Location is by the beach in Southern California; <strong>and</strong><br />
• Work for or own a company that specializes in design <strong>and</strong> manufacturing of surf wear.<br />
Ok, so what would be a good choice for this profile? You need to drive something that says you are cool <strong>and</strong> hip with style. It<br />
also needs to show that you are a trendsetter but not pretentious. <strong>This</strong> daily-driver has to be friendly <strong>and</strong> approachable regardless of<br />
age or gender. Here are some great suggestions:<br />
1. 1947 Ford “Jailbar” ½ Ton Truck with heavy patina, modern drivetrain, <strong>and</strong> working A/C… no glass-pack exhausts, please.<br />
2. 1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Wagon in Viking Blue with the 455 cubic inch<br />
engine <strong>and</strong> rear facing third row seat.<br />
3. 1968 BMW 1600 2-Door Sedan in an unusual<br />
period-correct color. Bone stock with steel wheels<br />
<strong>and</strong> hubcaps are a must.<br />
4. 1969 Porsche 912 in light ivory or any other unforgettable color.<br />
Some mild patina on the paint <strong>and</strong> chrome is strongly encouraged.<br />

My Owners love Porsches <strong>and</strong> me! <strong>The</strong>y<br />
have been driving them for over 30 years<br />
<strong>and</strong> have each owned over 30 Porsches<br />
throughout the years. <strong>Lisa</strong> has been<br />
driving a 911, mostly red, since 1982.<br />
Starting with a 1974 Targa, she has had<br />
about every model: from 911s, Carreras,<br />
964, 993, 996, 997, 991s, a Panamera <strong>and</strong><br />
5 Cayennes. I fit the best in the back of<br />
a Cayenne. <strong>The</strong>y put 4 of us dogs in the<br />
back of a Panamera all weighing about<br />
100 pounds each. Talk about a lot of dog<br />
hair in the car! <strong>The</strong> 911s are tough getting<br />
in the back, especially with those darn<br />
roll bars!<br />
From left: Beauty, Smarty, Pedro, Jaxen, Silky, Katieheart & Atticus<br />
in their big doghouse<br />
<strong>In</strong> <strong>Lisa</strong>’s spare time she has been<br />
raising <strong>and</strong> training racing Quarter<br />
Horses since 1998. Her first filly, Makin<br />
Fast Cash, broke the track record at Los<br />
Alamitos racecourse. Keep your eye<br />
out for any horses that have <strong>Flying</strong> in<br />
the name for another moneymaker! Her<br />
trainer at the track is Paul Jones, Parnelli<br />
Jones’s nephew. She also helps<br />
run her Family’s company, Tayco<br />
Engineering, an Aerospace company<br />
that is conveniently located next to Los<br />
Alamitos racecourse.<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> met my Dad, <strong>Tom</strong> <strong>Ridings</strong>,<br />
by buying Jerry Seinfeld’s Turbo. <strong>Tom</strong><br />
used to Race Top Fuel <strong>and</strong> Funny cars.<br />
He was the 7 time national record<br />
holder <strong>and</strong> multiple event winner. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
he went on to Off<br />
Road Racing. He won<br />
the Baja 250, Baja 500<br />
<strong>and</strong> multiple podium<br />
finishes in the Baja<br />
1000. <strong>Lisa</strong>’s first time<br />
watching <strong>Tom</strong> race the<br />
Baja 1000, he was in<br />
the racecar for over 12<br />
hours from sundown<br />
to sun up!<br />
<strong>Tom</strong> has been<br />
driving Porsches for<br />
45 years, way before<br />
I was born! He started<br />
with a 1963 356 Cab. <strong>The</strong>n he got a<br />
1967 911 that he sold to buy his first<br />
Alcohol Funny car. (Or some funny<br />

Alcohol, I forget how that went!) <strong>The</strong>n<br />
he started the West Coast P.B. Tweeks, a<br />
Porsche parts & accessories business that<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> used to shop at in the ‘80s.<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> & <strong>Tom</strong> decided to try out<br />
AutoCrossing about 4 years ago after<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> was hurt from one of her Racing<br />
Quarter Horses <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tom</strong> broke his back<br />
practicing for the Baja 500. <strong>The</strong>y both<br />

March 3, 2013 autocross event had a big<br />
turn out, thank you to all who attended.<br />
Our events would not be possible without<br />
our series sponsor Walter’s Porsche,<br />
our series support sponsor GMG –<br />
Global Motorsport Group <strong>and</strong> our event<br />
sponsors. <strong>The</strong> March event sponsor was<br />
Cape Auto.<br />
Our course designers Attila Szilagy<br />
<strong>and</strong> David Palmquist did it again!<br />
<strong>The</strong>y designed a course that allowed<br />
all levels of autocross goers to test<br />
the limits of their car <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />
techniques. No matter how many events<br />
you have attended, there is something<br />
to be learned from each autocross. My<br />
intention for the March 3 event was to<br />
push my limits around the corners a bit<br />
more. I was nervous about doing it but<br />
I did <strong>and</strong> at the end of the day I felt I<br />
had accomplished this. New drivers,<br />
experienced drivers <strong>and</strong> all the folks in<br />
between are sure to have a good time<br />
at any event. We encourage families to<br />
make this a group event; bring the kids,<br />
bring the dog (<strong>and</strong> extra sunscreen)!<br />
<strong>In</strong> keeping with the tradition of<br />
personal growth, I have decided to<br />
attend the April 29th driving event<br />
(DE) at the Auto Club Speedway. I am<br />
anxious to attend, as this will be my first<br />
driving event. Hope to see you all there!<br />

SMOG INSPECTION AT B.A.R.<br />
Story by Lee Rice<br />
After swapping a very tired, <strong>and</strong> in need of major<br />
rebuilding, 3.0 911 SC engine for a 1984 911 3.3<br />
Carrera engine, the 911 <strong>and</strong> its owner were very happy<br />
<strong>and</strong> satisfied. <strong>The</strong> smog check was nothing unusual, as<br />
the Carrera 3.2 engine runs cleaner in every phase of<br />
operation compared to the 911 SC with its CIS Air Pump<br />
<strong>and</strong> the other various sensitive adjustments needed. <strong>The</strong><br />
Carrera 3.2 needs nothing other than normal service<br />
items: 12,000 mile service: oil + filter; valve adjustment,<br />
30,000 mile service same as 12, 000 mile+ Ign. Cap; rotor<br />
<strong>and</strong> new plugs; <strong>and</strong> at 60,000 miles, O2 sensor check <strong>and</strong><br />
new high tension ignition wires/connectors .<br />
<strong>The</strong> Motronic e.c.u. controls everything <strong>and</strong> no<br />
adjustments are necessary, as there are no service<br />
adjustments anyway! However the regular smog<br />
inspection failed. <strong>The</strong> owner was willing to take it to<br />
a referee <strong>and</strong> that should have been no problem; as the<br />
newer engine runs so much cleaner that the older one.<br />
<strong>The</strong> owner ended up with a failed SMOG inspection that<br />

Book Review:<br />
LE MANS <strong>The</strong> Porsche & Peugeot Years<br />
1992-1999<br />
By R. M. Clark,<br />
Published by Brookl<strong>and</strong>s Books, Surrey, UK<br />
Review by Bruce Herrington<br />
<strong>This</strong> book is part of the seven book Le<br />
Mans series by Brookl<strong>and</strong>s Books,<br />
covering the years from 1923-1999.<br />
True, Porsches raced at Le Mans as early<br />
as 1951 (where 1 of 3 finished, placing<br />
20th overall <strong>and</strong> first in the 1100cc<br />
Class). Since ‘51, Factory participation<br />
has been sporadic but there have always<br />
been privately entered Porches at Le<br />
Mans. During part of the period covered<br />
by this book Porsche competed seriously,<br />
with ‘factory’ entries achieving overall<br />
victory. With the Porsche factory<br />
returning to Le Mans this June, (with<br />
two 991 GT3RSRs) which is their first<br />
entry since they won overall in 1998; it<br />
is interesting to review some of their past<br />
involvement.<br />
<strong>This</strong> book is rather unique in that<br />
it was not written as much as compiled.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire book consists of reprints from<br />
contemporary magazines, (including<br />
Autocar, Autosport <strong>and</strong> Motor Sport)<br />
who provided extensive coverage, while<br />
American magazines seemed to have lost<br />
interest in Le Mans after the GT40 years,<br />
covered in the ‘66-74 volume of the Le<br />
Mans Years series. Despite the title, the<br />
magazine articles reprinted in this book<br />
are written to give the general reader<br />
an overall view of the special rules,<br />
car/team preparation <strong>and</strong> excitement<br />
of each year’s race <strong>and</strong> are not focused<br />
specifically on Porsches. For that matter,<br />
the Peugeots only competed in two of<br />
the eight years covered, <strong>and</strong> the Porsche<br />
Years were really only 96, 97, <strong>and</strong> 98. But<br />
if you would like to experience the Le<br />
Mans race scene vicariously, this book<br />
will take you there. Porsche’s incredible<br />
domination of all three classes in the<br />
1996 race is, of course, well covered in<br />
all the articles for that year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of reprints not<br />
only ensures that the articles<br />
are very well written, but their<br />
contemporary nature provides a<br />
unique perspective — each year<br />
starts out with articles written<br />
in advance of that year’s race,<br />
speculating <strong>and</strong> predicting<br />
about the drivers, the cars, <strong>and</strong><br />
the various match-ups. <strong>This</strong><br />
‘stage setting’ introduction to<br />
each year-chapter is something<br />
no other book on Le Mans<br />
provides. And of course there<br />
are special details of interest<br />
to the then contemporary<br />
readers — ticket prices, times<br />
for the various practices <strong>and</strong><br />
the trial day, <strong>and</strong> frequencies for the<br />
radio stations providing coverage. Race<br />
reports from the trial day as well as<br />
practice, forecast sometimes correctly,<br />
often not, the race reports themselves,<br />
where the different magazines seem to<br />
focus on different aspects of the same<br />
goings on. Fascinating.<br />
Overall, there is a very stimulating<br />
feeling of ‘currency’ unlike any book<br />
written as after-the-fact history. It’s like<br />
the difference between a first-person<br />
report <strong>and</strong> an outsider’s analysis. If<br />
you like reading race reports, you will<br />
love this book. <strong>The</strong> race reports are all<br />
very readable <strong>and</strong> give ‘blow by blow<br />
<strong>and</strong> minute by minute’ coverage. <strong>The</strong><br />
juxtaposition of reports on the same race,<br />
written by the prime writers of different<br />
motorsports magazines, makes for some<br />
very interesting comparisons of their<br />
differing perspectives. Unfortunately,<br />
the reports are not necessarily presented<br />
in strict chronological order <strong>and</strong> the<br />
individual re-prints are not dated. Date<br />
<strong>and</strong> publication information is available<br />
in the table of contents so that any<br />
apparent discrepancies in continuity<br />
can be resolved when they present<br />
themselves.<br />
<strong>This</strong> 8 x 10-3/4 inch paperback book<br />
is somewhat smaller than the original<br />
magazines. <strong>The</strong> type size on the reduced<br />
pages will make most ‘mature’ readers<br />
reach for their glasses. <strong>The</strong> 172 pages<br />
present many race pictures, all in black<br />
<strong>and</strong> white, <strong>and</strong> often with an ‘artsy’ look.<br />
It should be available for $32.95<br />
from your favorite bookseller (ask for<br />
it) or from Motorbooks at http:\\www.<br />
motorbooks.com.<br />

Feature: Porsches & Horses: (Continued from Page 9)<br />
Koa <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tom</strong> <strong>In</strong> the new 2013 991<br />
needed to try a less dangerous sport.<br />
Is racing at Auto Club Speedway in<br />
the Festival of Speed at 160 mph less<br />
dangerous?<br />
<strong>The</strong>y both fell in love with Racing<br />
Porsches. Lucky for me because I get<br />
to go in <strong>Tom</strong>’s big doghouse on wheels<br />
to all the Porsche events. (Think it’s<br />
called a Motor home?) We take it to all<br />
the Auto Crosses at El Toro, D. E.s <strong>and</strong><br />
Track Days.<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> & <strong>Tom</strong> have now raced most of<br />
the major tracks in California. <strong>The</strong>y have<br />
driven Willow Springs, Button Willow,<br />
Auto Club Speedway, Pomona, Laguna<br />
Seca <strong>and</strong> their favorites, which are<br />
Spring Mountain <strong>and</strong> Chuck Walla. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
even got to race their California Ferrari<br />
at Chuck Walla. <strong>The</strong>y don’t allow dogs<br />
at the big tracks so I don’t like it when<br />
they go there.<br />
My favorite time of the week is<br />
Saturday mornings. I wake up my Dad<br />
at 5:00 A.M. to make sure we get a good<br />
parking spot at Cars & Coffee. Every<br />
week we usually go in a different car. I<br />
only let him buy a car I can fit in. Dad<br />
lets me sit in the front seat of our GT3<br />
RS, which has one of those roll bars that<br />
I hate. <strong>Lisa</strong> bought the black & orange<br />
RS from Patrick Dempsey, bet his dog<br />
never got to ride in that car like I do!<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tom</strong> are now both<br />
Nationally Certified Porsche Driving<br />
instructors. I want Dad to teach me to<br />
how to drive the new 2013 PDK 991.<br />
That should be easier than the other cars<br />
with a clutch.<br />
Once a month<br />
now we go in the<br />
big dog house on<br />
wheels to El Toro.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y put these big<br />
numbers on their Porsche doors <strong>and</strong> drive<br />
around orange cones all day (AutoCross).<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are always in such a good mood at<br />
AutoCross <strong>and</strong> I love all their friends<br />
that come to El Toro. Everyone there is<br />
so nice to me <strong>and</strong> I get lots of pets. My<br />
favorites are Dennis, Carolyn & Rick<br />
Neff, Jenni & Eric Monroe, Delany, Petra<br />
& Ed McRae, James Buck, Steve Eguina<br />
(His Dog Jack told me how to write this<br />
article!) Kyle Largent, <strong>The</strong> Scheussler<br />
family, Eric Budai, Chuck Bartolon, <strong>Tom</strong><br />
Mueller, Christine Newcomer, C<strong>and</strong>ice<br />
& Eric Kaltenbach, Carl Van Derschuit,<br />
Erica & Julian White, Craig Adams,<br />
Arm<strong>and</strong> Gastelo, Chad<br />
Rasmussen, Christian<br />
& Kevin Van Fleet <strong>and</strong><br />
of course Team <strong>Taylor</strong>,<br />
Patricia Lynn <strong>and</strong> Rod.<br />
I know I’ll be in trouble<br />
because I’m sure I<br />
forgot someone really<br />
important.<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> throws some<br />
great parties with her<br />
good friends from AX,<br />
Annie <strong>and</strong> Greg Lush <strong>and</strong><br />
their daughter Colette.<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> <strong>and</strong> Greg went to<br />
the same high school in<br />
Lake Arrowhead, small<br />
world! Annie’s Party<br />
<strong>Tom</strong> & <strong>Lisa</strong> with their ‘73 Aubergine 911 T, which was in the shop for<br />
the photo shoot, at the R Gruppe meeting in Solvang<br />
Passion set up a huge tent in front of<br />
our really big doghouse that the 8 horses<br />
sleep in. She set up tables for over 200<br />
people on 12-12-12 at 12:12. We had<br />
over 50 Porsches parked in my 2 Acre<br />
backyard. <strong>The</strong> 8 car garage was filled<br />
with even more Porsches. <strong>Lisa</strong>’s friend<br />
from Rolling Hills, Christi Edlebrock,<br />
came to the big party. <strong>Lisa</strong> remembers<br />
when she was 14 yrs old going into Vic<br />
Edlebrock’s garage <strong>and</strong> seeing a new<br />
red 911 Turbo. From then on she wished<br />
someday she could own a red Porsche<br />
<strong>and</strong> of course a dog like me!<br />

racers came from, Jack Atkinson revealed the secret of a Los<br />
Angeles based hot rodder <strong>and</strong> painter, Dave Kent, being flown<br />
into Jacksonville to paint Peter Gregg’s 917 <strong>and</strong> other cars.<br />
Jack was also the crew chief on the Peter Gregg 1977 Brumos<br />

Each month the Club meets at Original Mike’s Restaurant in Santa Ana for breakfast <strong>and</strong> to view each other’s cars. <strong>The</strong> new members<br />
attending the April 2013 breakfast are pictured below with their Porsches along with member’s cars at some other events. Location details for<br />
the Breakfast Club appear on the back cover of this magazine. We thank Original Mike’s for their support.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y left me on April 5-7 to go to<br />
that big Festival of Speed in Fontana.<br />
Dad had the 4th best time out of his entire<br />
run group. I’m so proud of him. <strong>Lisa</strong> got<br />
to drive the 993 Carrera RS from Sweden<br />
around the whole NASCAR oval track<br />
at Auto Club Speedway in the 50 years<br />
of Porsches parade. That was a first that<br />
has never been done in the history of<br />
Porsche! <strong>Lisa</strong> met 50 of the nicest people<br />
owning Porsches from 1964 – 2013.<br />
Thanks to Skip Carter, Suesan Way <strong>and</strong><br />
Marty Goldsmith she also got to be the<br />
Lead Car for an hour every day leading<br />
up to 200 Porsches around the track for<br />
3 days at Festival of Speed. She had just<br />
picked up her new 991 Carrera S from<br />
Walter’s Porsche, from Ed McRae & Tim<br />
Churchill, 39 days before the race!<br />
I just found out they are leaving me<br />
again to go on the Autobahn Adventures<br />
Trip with their friends, Tina & Mark<br />
Trewartha, who run the trip. <strong>The</strong>y had<br />
so much fun last time on their trip with<br />
them. How can they have fun in the<br />
Bernese Mountains without their Bernese<br />
Mountain dog? I heard they had ordered<br />
another 991, from Eric Ernst at Circle<br />
Porsche, months ago for a Euro Delivery<br />
<strong>and</strong> they will test drive it at Nurburing,<br />
their favorite race track!<br />
Well, Dad, I have some good news<br />
for you… I am having puppies the first<br />
week in May! Hope this helps pay for<br />
your Racing fund for <strong>Ridings</strong> Racing <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Flying</strong> L Racing!<br />

Do You Obsess About Your Daily Driver: (Continued from Page 6)<br />
5. 1966 MGB-GT in primrose yellow with chrome wire wheels <strong>and</strong> very minor visible rust.<br />
Some m<strong>and</strong>atory additions to any of these choices is to add a Bluetooth radio<br />
with h<strong>and</strong>s-free for your phone <strong>and</strong> a working a/c beyond one of those devices<br />
that you bought from Skymall that plugs into your cigarette adapter. <strong>The</strong>se two<br />
suggestions will give you all you need to have a competent yet cool 21st century<br />
daily-driver.<br />
Ok, so you aren’t this hip fashion designer who walks around barefoot all<br />
day <strong>and</strong> sips wheat grass. Let’s say you are more of the corporate type that has<br />
to commute over 30-minutes in heavy traffic everyday. You can’t deal with any<br />
hiccups from your car. It needs to work properly every time you turn the key <strong>and</strong><br />
can be driven at speed with no warming up necessary. However, it must be fun<br />
<strong>and</strong> a wake-up call to your “car-guy” chromosome. You don’t want to tie up too<br />
much cash in these cars because you need every dime for your “hobby” cars. So,<br />
it is all about bang for your buck. <strong>The</strong> following cars will do the trick:<br />
1. 2003 Jaguar S-Type R with over 400hp/400 lb. ft. of torque <strong>and</strong> less than $10k. <strong>This</strong> sleeper will embarrass the hell out of any<br />
pimply teenage Honda-esque drifter while cuddling you in heated Connolly leather <strong>and</strong> Birdseye maple wood trim.<br />
2. 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLS500 with AMG package. It’s a coupe…<br />
no, it’s a sedan… Hell, I really don’t care how they classify it, it looks cool, it’s<br />
practical <strong>and</strong> it costs less than a new Scion XB-“toaster” thing.<br />
3. 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R Estate in cream yellow with<br />
dark anodized wheels. <strong>The</strong>se Über-hip Swedish<br />
wagons are a favorite among architects <strong>and</strong><br />
engineers. It screams practicality <strong>and</strong> needlessly<br />
complicated simultaneously.<br />
4. 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton with the W12 engine. With less than 3,000<br />
delivered to the U.S., the automotive journalists loved these cars <strong>and</strong> the<br />
status-focused American market hated them. <strong>The</strong> Real Housewives of<br />
Orange County wouldn’t be caught dead in one. <strong>The</strong>se h<strong>and</strong> built German<br />
masterpieces are basically a Bentley in a plebian trench coat.<br />
5. 1995 Chevrolet Impala SS in any color you can find<br />
that hasn’t been pimped out (good luck on that one).<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are truly the modern day Blues Brothers escape<br />
car. Basically, it is a cop car for your average Joe. With<br />
its Corvette LT1 engine <strong>and</strong> upgraded suspension, all<br />
you need is to throw some spotlights above the side<br />
mirrors <strong>and</strong> traffic will part like the Red Sea.<br />
Regardless of your lifestyle, there is an affordable <strong>and</strong> fun daily-driver out there that is just right for you. <strong>This</strong> car will be the kind<br />
of perfect that allows you to overlook its inadequacies <strong>and</strong> fondly call it some offbeat family name. So, instead of leasing another<br />
new or certified pre-owned bl<strong>and</strong> sedan like some inborn reflex, have fun. Put some serious thought into transportation that you will<br />
actually like for more than a month. Or, give us a call at AutoKennel <strong>and</strong> let us be your automotive therapists. We can help you with<br />
your transition.<br />

Rice’s Ramblings:<br />
(Continued from Page 15)<br />
revealed a problem; a Fuel Evaporative<br />
System problem. During my further<br />
investigation <strong>and</strong> visit to the Huntington<br />
Beach B.A.R at Golden West College, I<br />
discovered that this particular model year<br />
(1978 911 SC) was built in NOV 1977,<br />
has an earlier 1974 ‘77 Fuel Evaporative<br />
System in it, from the factory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> “FVP” ( Fuel Evaporative<br />
System) uses a black “Carbon Canister”<br />
mounted in the right side engine<br />
compartment. It’s filled with charcoalcarbon<br />
material that chemically collects<br />
<strong>and</strong> alters fuel fumes. <strong>The</strong> treated fumes<br />
flow to the air filter to be digested into<br />
the engine. <strong>The</strong> 1974-’77 system has<br />
three hoses on the carbon canister:<br />
• Nr. 1 A small 4.0mm hose for fumes<br />
from the fuel tank <strong>and</strong> Expansion<br />
Tank(s) venting;<br />
• Nr. 2 A 12.0 mm hose connected to<br />
the fan shroud <strong>and</strong> furnishes fresh<br />
air (from the fan) to the carbon<br />
canister.<br />
• Nr.3 A 12.0 mm hose from the<br />
carbon canister to the Air Filter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 1974-77 “Carbon Canister”<br />
is part Nr. 171 201 801 with three hose<br />
fittings, however the B.A.R manuals <strong>and</strong><br />
the Porsche shop manual both show a<br />
2 hose carbon canister for all 1978-83<br />
911SC model years, Carbon Canister<br />
Nr. A 113 201 801 B. <strong>This</strong> 1978 911<br />
SC 2-hose canister is different because<br />
it deletes the fan air to the canister.<br />
<strong>This</strong> is what the B.A.R. questioned<br />
<strong>and</strong> wanted to see installed on this car.<br />
Fortunately, I had my copy of the 1978<br />
911 SERVICE INFORMATION book<br />
that clearly showed the 1977 <strong>and</strong> 1978<br />
service changes. That helped, but B.A.R.<br />
thought Porsche would have upgraded<br />
<strong>and</strong> it for all 1978 model year cars. I<br />
had to assure them that Porsche, in their<br />
usual ways of reducing their old stock,<br />
would not update these changes until<br />
their supply of old parts was exhausted.<br />
Porsche has done this in the past. B.A.R.<br />
agreed, <strong>and</strong> as the 3.2 Carrera engine had<br />
demonstrated, it’s cleaner running in the<br />
1978 911. With it’s now new 3 fuel hoses<br />
connected to the Carbon canister, it was<br />
now in compliance <strong>and</strong> recertified with<br />
a new B.A.R. sticker. Now, all smog<br />
checks will only need to refer to the new<br />
B.A.R. stickers.<br />
I found out that B.A.R. was most<br />
patient <strong>and</strong> helpful in satisfying their<br />
needs <strong>and</strong> ours, <strong>and</strong> I actually enjoyed<br />
seeing their careful inspection <strong>and</strong><br />
procedures.<br />
PS: MY own (evolved) 1968 911<br />
never had any Fuel Evaporative System<br />
at all. However, over the decades I got<br />
tired of smelling fuel fumes after a fill<br />
up, so I installed one. I ended up with<br />
two “expansion tanks”, one behind the<br />
left head lamp <strong>and</strong> one small, white<br />
plastic “expansion tank” in the trunk. I<br />
installed these with all new synthetic<br />
rubber which is specified for “fuel hose”<br />
<strong>and</strong> with new clamps. Now, I don’t smell<br />
any fuel fumes at all!<br />
I recommend that any 30+ year<br />
old Porsche have its fuel system <strong>and</strong><br />
fuel Evaporative hoses given a careful<br />
look over. All hoses should be dry <strong>and</strong><br />
without any damp fuel residue on them<br />
(see page on leakage). All fuel hoses<br />
should be flexible, not hard. DO NOT<br />
OVERTIGHTEN CLAMPS ON OLD<br />
HOSES! Once fuel hoses get old, hard<br />
<strong>and</strong> cracked, they are a fire waiting to<br />
happen!<br />
Godspeed<br />

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Buon Giorno,<br />
Buenos Dias!<br />
Don’t forget our New Member Picnic<br />
on May 11th. Again, go to the web site<br />
for particulars but this is always a great<br />
way to get acquainted with members<br />
if you are new. For the veterans among<br />
us, it is also a great way for you to share<br />
your experiences with people who want<br />
to know what’s what <strong>and</strong> how to take part<br />
in our great club. It’s at Laguna Niguel<br />
Regional Park again this year. Existing<br />
member bring $5 bucks for hamburgers,<br />
hot dogs <strong>and</strong> a fun time. If you are a new<br />
member, just bring you; the hamburger<br />
is free as is the advice. But you will also<br />
meet our own C.L. Jarusek, my favorite<br />
naked policeman. To get that story you<br />
must show up!<br />
Need for Speed<br />
<strong>This</strong> last note is for our fast crowd, the<br />
Autocrossers. It’s the bargain of our<br />
Porsche world because it’s a chance to<br />
rev up your Stuttgart stormer <strong>and</strong> take<br />
it right out to the edge. <strong>The</strong>re is always<br />
instruction available to take advantage<br />
of the expertise of those who have gone<br />
before. You can just show up <strong>and</strong> watch,<br />
but be careful; the urge for the famous<br />
“need for speed” often develops from one<br />
single brush with Porsches at full song.<br />
When you really should have had a V8<br />
News for 2014 is that the V8 in the<br />
Panamera, <strong>and</strong> perhaps the Cayenne,<br />
will be a V6 with twin turbos. <strong>This</strong><br />
follows the recent European trend of<br />
diminished cylinders <strong>and</strong> displacement<br />
in favor of puffed up, or turbocharged,<br />
smaller motors. What you get is a<br />
supposedly greener power plant that is<br />
more palatable politically, if not in fact.<br />
<strong>In</strong> fact the newer motors are very potent<br />
<strong>and</strong> quite capable. But do they carry the<br />
cachet <strong>and</strong> the presence of the V8 rumble<br />
that is so much a part of the culture of<br />
power that enables the wallet opening<br />
opium? That, of course, is the question<br />
<strong>and</strong> much depends upon the answer. <strong>The</strong><br />
current V8 is rated at 400 horsepower,<br />
our USA favorite measure of a power<br />
output. Power is one thing but the total<br />
experience includes power <strong>and</strong> prestige.<br />
Will the new configuration bring these<br />
in equal measure <strong>and</strong> continue the recent<br />
winning ways of our favorite br<strong>and</strong>?<br />
Until we meet again<br />
Okay, so further we travel into 2013!<br />
Take care <strong>and</strong> keep it “butter side up”<br />
as they say in the UK! See you at some<br />
Orange Coast event to come, I am sure.<br />
