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 />

<strong>Lisa</strong> with race horses, Palika & Beauty, <strong>Tom</strong> with Koa, Bailey, Bentley, Hana, Kona<br />

& Leia. (<strong>Lisa</strong> lived in Kauai for 10yrs!)<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 />

beautiful eighty-degree weather. <strong>The</strong><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 />

Rice’s Ramblings:<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 />

<strong>Lisa</strong> with Danny Sullivan & Jeff Zwart at Dana Pt concours<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 />

EDITORS NOTE’S: (Continued from Page 5)<br />

that there are several different classes<br />

of participation for the White Gloves<br />

Concours. <strong>The</strong> “wash & shine” division<br />

is perfect for “newbies” to dip their<br />

Porsche selves into the entire Concours<br />

experience. <strong>This</strong> puts your car into the<br />

competition <strong>and</strong> gives you the perfect<br />

entre into the world of car preparation.<br />

You are inside the ropes <strong>and</strong> part of the<br />

incrowd. Give it a try. Go to http://www.<br />

pca.org/Activities/Concours.aspx, for<br />

more information on the classes. Also,<br />

when speaking of things <strong>In</strong>ternet don’t<br />

forget our OCR site at; http://www.<br />

pcaocr.com/. <strong>The</strong>re‘s lots of stuff there<br />

<strong>and</strong> plenty of contact information. Surf<br />

on over <strong>and</strong> log in dude or dudette.<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 />
