Road Ramblings<br />

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President<br />

The weather is changing and fall is around<br />

the corner. The last autocross this year is at<br />

Texas Motor Speedway in <strong>October</strong>, and it is<br />

also our charity autocross. By charity, we mean a<br />

portion of the fee will be donated to charity and<br />

the club will write off any loss from the event. A<br />

loss can occur since TMS is a relatively expensive<br />

parking lot to rent. They've given us a break on<br />

the price as their donation to charity, but it might<br />

not be enough unless we get 60-80 cars out there. This will be a low<br />

key event, novices are welcome, and we'll be helping out the Hope<br />

Shelter. Won't you please come and run the event? If you donate<br />

another $5-$10 it will be greatly appreciated. Please come out and<br />

drive, or make a small donation if you can, to the shelter.<br />

The Hope Shelter is our main charity. It is a refuge for<br />

women and their children who need some way to recover from<br />

the desperate and hopeless situation of an abusive home. The<br />

ultimate goal of the shelter is for them to leave and go out and live<br />

a normal and productive life. At the recent Maverick group<br />

watching of "Top Speed" at the Fort Worth Museum of Science<br />

and History, advance ticket sales netted the shelter $90. We're<br />

hoping the charity autocross can add another couple of hundred<br />

dollars.<br />

...watertight in up to 24 inches of water...<br />

On September 6th, a caravan of Mavericks driving 5 trucks<br />

full of donated items made its way to the shelter. Not only were<br />

the items greatly needed and appreciated (there were several<br />

families living there at that time) but there was also a breakthrough<br />

in the shelter's quest for materials on some maintenance<br />

projects they desperately need. Kevin Procaccino, an executive at<br />

Mercedes Homes and an avid Maverick club racer and DE<br />

instructor got his company to donate paint to repaint both the<br />

exterior and the whole interior of the shelter. Kevin had not been<br />

to the shelter before and he was affected, like many others, with a<br />

calling from within to help this worthy cause. Please come out on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 26th to TMS.<br />

Last month I mentioned that I missed out on a couple of<br />

opportunities to experience some great vehicles in August. Well, I<br />

made up for it in September. My first drive was in Myron Krupp's<br />

2004 GT3. Now the thing that amazed me most about the car was<br />

the redline. The maximum RPM of the GT3 engine is 8200 rpm.<br />

Unlike some Fiat's I'd driven in the 1970s, this motor had<br />

amazing elasticity; it was strong from 3000 rpm right up until<br />

8000 (I didn't do the full 8200). You can drive the car in third<br />

gear all the time, 20mph up until 75 mph. The second thing is the<br />

noise from both the engine mechanicals and the exhaust. Not<br />

offensive, but no need for sport mufflers here- it's throaty and<br />

raspy- forget a radio, this is better than Mozart or the Beatles. It<br />

seems much noisier than anything else on the road. It sounds like<br />

a racecar 50% of the time. One might think the ride would be<br />

harsh, but it wasn't much harder than my Boxster S with sport<br />

suspension and 18 inch wheel/tires. I drove a GT2 for a few laps<br />

at MotorSport Ranch, and I will tell you it was faster and stiffer<br />

than the GT3. But for $65,000 more, the GT2 had better be. If<br />

you are a track person, the GT3 will be more satisfying than a 996<br />

twin turbo as it has only 35 less horsepower, yet weighs 300<br />

pounds less - just about a wash, and with bigger brakes and<br />

wheels and no sunroof for added strength. It has a nice interior<br />

with leather and power everything. Even though we didn't turn it<br />

on, it even comes with a CD-radio.<br />

I also had the opportunity to take a drive in a 2004 Cayenne<br />

S. We held our September board meeting at Autobahn Motor<br />

Cars in Fort Worth and they gave several of us test rides in a<br />

Cayenne on their off-road course that they built adjacent to the<br />

dealership for demonstrating Land Rovers and Cayennes. What<br />

the vehicle can do off-road is amazing. It can climb and descend<br />

brutally steep grades, hold position on grades without using the<br />

brakes, and can lock side-to-side, and front-to-back differentials<br />

for incredible wet and dry traction. It can even pull with only one<br />

wheel having grip. It is also watertight in up to 24 inches of water.<br />

The only thing more impressive than the Cayenne's off-road<br />

prowess is it's acceleration and braking considering it weighs<br />

6000 pounds. When you consider the Cayenne's engineering and<br />

abilities off road and on road, you can see why it costs what it<br />

does. There's a lot of typical Porsche engineering in this newest<br />

product line. I can't think of two more opposite vehicles - a<br />

Cayenne and a GT3 - yet I did know and was driving a Porsche in<br />

both. Since I've been driving a 911 since 1989,which one do you<br />

think I liked best?<br />

One last item of note is a road rally on Saturday, <strong>October</strong><br />

25th. I'll see you there; till next month then.<br />

Curves Ahead<br />

by Matt Platts, Editor<br />

Irecently realized that I’ve had my 924S for just<br />

over five years. A lot of things have changed in<br />

my life in those five years, but I still get a grin<br />

on my face every time I get behind the wheel.<br />

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I really<br />

enjoy driving (some might say that I enjoy it too<br />

much!), and this car sure makes every drive a treat.<br />

I’ve done several things to my 924S in these<br />

five years, mostly maintenance items like belts (a must on the 2.5l<br />

water-pumper), belt rollers, seals, plugs/wires, oil-cooler rebuild,<br />

water pump, a couple of sets of rotors, a few sets of pads (DE’s will<br />

do that), new shocks, sway bar upgrades, suspension bushing<br />

upgrades, and a few other odds-and-ends. The clutch went out at<br />

Parade, so a new clutch was in order, as well as engine mounts and<br />

some new exhaust hanger hardware. I also decided to have the air<br />

conditioner fixed since it’s been out for a couple of years. Now that<br />

I’ve had all that work done, I feel like my car’s almost new again! It’s<br />

just as much fun to drive now as it was when I first took it for a spin<br />

in New Hampshire before I fell in love with it. I plan on driving this<br />

car until it completely falls apart – and I don’t expect that to happen<br />

any time soon. 190,000 miles and counting. I know I’m preaching to<br />

the choir, but these cars (even the cheap ones) are a blast to drive,<br />

aren’t they?!?<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Wendy Shoffit<br />

The September board meeting was held at<br />

Autobahn Motorcars in Fort Worth on<br />

Tuesday, 9/7/03. Autobahn graciously<br />

supplied us with fajitas from Dos Gringos, a nice<br />

meeting room, and special Cayenne test track<br />

runs. Thanks!<br />

In attendance were Keith Olcha, Bob<br />

Knight, Cody Sears, Teri and Charlie Davis, Jan<br />

Mayo, Mike Brodigan, Joe McGlohen, John Sandusky, Albert<br />

Sansores, Wendy Shoffit, Lanean Hughes, Graham Lane, new<br />

attendee Josh Roberts, and back-from-the-north Bob Ande. The<br />

meeting began at 7:25 PM. Keith allowed everyone to take a turn<br />

around the room.<br />

Cody – Time Trial #4 was successful with over 30 attendees.<br />

We made money on the event and overall are positive for the year.<br />

Since Autocross #7 (Oct. 26) at TMS will most likely lose money,<br />

it’s nice to have a cushion. We need to have trophies made for AX<br />

and TT season winners. A motion was passed to spend $2000 for<br />

trophies this year. He also brought up a discussion regarding the<br />

Wednesday pre-tech before AX or TT events. Although we have<br />

strongly encouraged attendance, turnout has been steadily<br />

declining. Board members were asked for recommendations.<br />

Suggestions included having a secondary tech location or doing<br />

away with pre-tech and having tech only at the track. Most agreed<br />

that we don’t want to discourage participation. Cody and Mark<br />

Steele will make the final decision.<br />

Teri – We have a rally on Oct. 25th, which will include parts<br />

We had a few non-regulars show up at the September board<br />

meeting that was hosted at Autobahn Porsche in Fort Worth.<br />

That was my first time to see their facility; it’s a very impressive<br />

dealership. As you would expect at a Porsche dealership, attention to<br />

detail was at the top of their list. The customer waiting area had a<br />

high-definition plasma screen to view while you are waiting for an<br />

oil-change (or waiting for the board meeting attendees to show up),<br />

there are snacks and soft-drinks, and a parts counter that carries<br />

shirts, caps, all sorts of cool Porsche trinkets (I think all the real<br />

"parts" are hidden out back somewhere). I’m looking forward to<br />

checking out our other area dealerships at the next two board<br />

meetings –Park Place in <strong>October</strong>, and Boardwalk in November. All<br />

members are welcome, so come by and join us!<br />

<strong>October</strong> is full of events, there’s a Happy Hour at a cool place in<br />

Irving, the RPM Café. We’ve also got a Time Trial, and a tour to<br />

Arkansas. Then the end of the month has promises to be fun<br />

multi-event weekend including a Tulip Rally, Halloween Party, and<br />

our annual Autocross to benefit the Hope Shelter. This Autocross<br />

counts toward season points, and it’s also going to be a test of how<br />

we plan to run the Autocross at next year’s Parade here in Fort<br />

Worth. Soon following all that fun is the Founders Day Banquet at<br />

the Speedway Club above Texas Motor Speedway. We expect a great<br />

turnout at all of these events, so I hope to see you there!<br />

of the Parade rally. She’ll advertise it with AX #7 and the<br />

Halloween party to encourage participation. She needs many<br />

volunteers to help run this event. We also might need to buy rally<br />

clocks and repair others.<br />

Charlie – Made changes to the Truxster, including an improved<br />

sound system. He will be trying some Parade AX logistics for AX #7<br />

at TMS. He has also been working hard on the timing display. A<br />

series of problems has him working on alternates.<br />

Mike – We have lost 4 advertisers, but have replaced one<br />

and Mike has leads on others. He mentioned the bylaws require<br />

several financial documents be reported quarterly, which Bob will<br />

work on.<br />

John – The September DE is full through the yellow group,<br />

with 100 entrants and 62 instructor candidates. We have set the<br />

DE dates for 2004 (watch calendar). He is still trying to work out<br />

details for a mid-week event at MSR this year.<br />

Lanean – (as Mimi) Halloween party is on 10/25. Teri will<br />

announce rally results & hand out trophies. Contact Mimi with<br />

other special requests. Holiday party location is set at the<br />

Walker’s. Lanean told of the convoy of packed trucks that went to<br />

the very grateful shelter on 9/6. Kevin Procaccino (Mercedes<br />

Homes) has agreed to buy paint for the shelter and others have<br />

donated their labor. She also mentioned Founder’s Day is coming<br />

up (11/8). DE Sponsorship has been set for next year. Thanks, as<br />

always, to our dealerships, Autobahn, Boardwalk, and Park Place.<br />

The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.<br />

Nacogdoches Tour - Find Every Dairy Queen in East Texas<br />

by John & Chris Hamilton<br />

Asmall but hearty band of ten cars took the Nacogdoches tour<br />

in August, led by perennial Tourmeister, Ted Glover. We had<br />

our 7:30 a.m. drivers’ meeting at a Wal-Mart just east of<br />

Dallas, then headed East to explore the back roads of East Texas and<br />

some Piney Woods country. Two Boxsters, a 928, a 930, a Turbo<br />

and several 911’s led the pack, with Bonnie and Mimi in the BMW<br />

as the caboose. Picture-perfect weather had been ordered-up,<br />

and that’s what we got (except for two 5-minute humiditycleansing<br />

showers).<br />

...all the Dairy Queens that we want to<br />

see for the next six months...<br />

Back roads took us to Palestine and the Texas State Railroad for<br />

our first rest stop. Then it was on east to Lufkin for lunch at the<br />

Crown Colony Country Club (only disappointment: Bob Lewis<br />

didn’t have his golf clubs!). After lunch, we took a roundabout tour<br />

Photo by John & Chris Hamilton<br />

of the Davey Crockett National Forest. The roads were clear, the<br />

scenery was beautiful, and the cars were humming as we cruised<br />

through the well-mapped-out tour. Along the way we stopped<br />

by our first of several Dairy Queens, for some well-deserved<br />

refreshments. Finally, we ended our day in Nacogdoches at the<br />

Fredonia Hotel. Dinner at D. Gar’s Bistro was delicious, with some<br />

great memories of the day to be shared by all.<br />

Sunday morning brought us another beautiful day for touring.<br />

We left the hotel at a much-more leisurely 9 a.m. and had an<br />

enjoyable romp to Rusk before driving to Palestine for lunch.<br />

Sunday’s lunch stop was at Don Jose’s, which had a special $9.99<br />

Photo by John & Chris Hamilton<br />

‘nuff said...<br />

D.Q. “Queens”<br />

all-you-can-eat buffet. What a meal! After a very enjoyable lunch,<br />

it was time to hit the roads and start to make our way back toward<br />

Dallas. But not without one last D.Q. stop!<br />

Every car worked perfectly throughout the tour, and the FRS<br />

radios kept us in constant contact throughout the trip and kept the<br />

pack together. Everyone got to meet a few new people, and got to<br />

know others even better. And our Porsche’s and BMW were well up<br />

to the task and gave us a great tour of East Texas, its restaurants, and<br />

all the Dairy Queens that we want to see for the next six months!<br />

Thanks, Ted for a great tour. The diet starts tomorrow!<br />

Top Speed / Blue Mesa Social<br />

by Noby Takahashi<br />

Quite a few Mavericks made the trek over to the Fort Worth<br />

Cultural District to check out ‘Top Speed’ at the Omni<br />

Theater. Being a resident of East Dallas, this was my first<br />

trip to this area in few years. The Boxster S decided not to join me<br />

in my westward journey, I had to sneak in a Chevy truck amongst<br />

Porsches in the reserved parking area.<br />

Photo by Matt Platts<br />

...I managed to get our table<br />

in the food line before the<br />

Shoffit’s table...<br />

Between people that RSVP’d and drop-ins, my guess is that<br />

nearly 100 Mavericks showed up to watch ‘Top Speed’. Very<br />

impressive turnout. The show was quite enjoyable, watching<br />

Lucas Luhr driving around Road Atlanta (175 MPH on Turn 12?)<br />

in the GT3RS to Marla Streb taking a mountain bike down the<br />

bobsled course. Double thumbs up from this viewer! You can<br />

check out details at http://www.topspeedfilm.com. It did take me<br />

about 15 minutes after walking out of the OMNI to completely<br />

regain my balance.<br />

Afterwards, many of us headed over to a wonderful meal at<br />

Fort Worth Blue Mesa. Excellent choice, Mimi! As the highest<br />

ranking officer at the event, I managed to get our table in the food<br />

line before the Shoffits’ table (one of the first things I learned as a<br />

Mingling in the museum lobby after the show<br />

was to get in<br />

front of James in<br />

a buffet line).<br />

Many thanks<br />

to KO for making<br />

the arrangements<br />

with the OMNI<br />

Theater and<br />

Mimi Spreen for<br />

taking care of the<br />

RSVPs and food<br />

arrangements.<br />

And thanks to all<br />

the Maverick<br />

members who<br />

showed up, hope<br />

you enjoyed it as<br />

much as I did.<br />

Caravan to Hope!<br />

by Lanean Hughes<br />

On Saturday, September 6, <strong>2003</strong>, several<br />

Maverick members and friends headed to<br />

Mineral Wells to deliver items for the<br />

shelter. With 2 suburbans, 1 Explorer, 1 station<br />

wagon, 2 trucks and a van, we not only took up<br />

lots of space on 820 and I-20, but also at the<br />

shelter upon arrival.<br />

Many thanks to Carol Pierce of Boardwalk<br />

Porsche who spearheaded the staff there for<br />

donations, to Larry Irby/BWP for the use of his<br />

suburban, Bill and Sharron Dawson, Kevin<br />

Procaccino and their 3 great children, Brian<br />

Scudder, Clara Lewis and granddaughter<br />

Kristen, Mimi & Geneva Spreen, Wendy<br />

Shoffit, and Cody Sears (for the use of<br />

his truck).<br />

...help those who turn to us<br />

in times of need...<br />

After our visit to the shelter where we<br />

took notes of what is needed and what we<br />

can do to continue our support, we stopped<br />

off at the MineralRing to see the TT folks.<br />

Then we headed to Farmhouse Restaurant<br />

in Cool, Texas for some great home<br />

cooked food!<br />

The staff at Hope sincerely appreciate<br />

our donations, and as they said “It is<br />

through generous donations like yours<br />

that we are able to help those who turn to<br />

us in times of need!”<br />

We will be making another trip to the<br />

shelter soon, watch <strong>Slipstream</strong> for details!!<br />

British GP & Porsche Super Cup Race<br />

By Steve Patti<br />

Photo by Steve Patti<br />

For 7 days in July, the UK becomes the place to be for<br />

professional golf and motor sports -- The British Open, the<br />

Goodwood Festival of Speed, and The British Grand Prix at<br />

Silverstone. For those of us blessed with the opportunity to travel<br />

frequently to Europe, attending even one of these events would be<br />

a treat. And so it was that a call from one of my clients for a<br />

meeting in Paris meant landing in the UK on the weekend of The<br />

British Grand Prix. I immediately went to work to locate a ticket<br />

for this event, despite its being officially “sold out” for six months<br />

in advance. A call to a UK ticket broker and $400 later I had a<br />

grandstand seat on Turn 1 and a parking pass.<br />

...I got to wear my PCA Club Race<br />

t-shirt and mingle with the locals...<br />

Buried in the 4-race line up was a Porsche Super Cup race<br />

just two hours before the F1 race and it would be my first chance<br />

to see the latest 996GT3 Cup cars in action live on European soil.<br />

Truth be known, I think I wanted to see the Super Cup race more<br />

than the other 3 races that day, including the F1 race. The event<br />

began with the Vodaphone Maserati challenge (GT race) at 9am,<br />

followed by the Porsche Super Cup race at 11am, followed by the<br />

F1 race at 1pm, and a vintage/antique race at 4pm.<br />

The journey to Silverstone from my hotel in London at 6am<br />

on a Sunday morning got the adrenaline pumping, including an<br />

express train to Heathrow airport for the rental car, a 70 mile<br />

Photo by Steve Patti<br />

The Super Cup race was everything I imagined including<br />

door-to-door contact in short carousels, cars off the track,<br />

textbook blocking moves exiting corners, and the roar of<br />

Porsche’s latest water-cooled power plants. There was even one<br />

incidence that us air-cooled guys tend to forget about – a blown<br />

radiator that dumped coolant on the track (luckily the driver<br />

took the car off line). There was one American driver (Long)<br />

who started in the middle of the pack for the UPS sponsored<br />

team and he fought courageously to 4th place with two laps<br />

left but couldn’t quite get himself a podium finish (no American<br />

has a podium finish in the <strong>2003</strong> Cup season). The only<br />

disappointment was that the Super Cup race was only 12 laps<br />

(equivalent to PCA Sprint).<br />

The winner of the race was Frank Stippler, a former champion<br />

and three-time race winner this season. His silver GT3 Cup was<br />

under heavy pursuit during the entire race after he made a<br />

couple of unbelievable passes to take the lead and then he had to<br />

pull out all the stops to defend his position against a very fast lead<br />

pack. As an aside, Frank was the guy who set-up the suspension<br />

on my Carrera RS ClubSport PCA race car (so no more jokes<br />

about all the nasty negative camber!)<br />

There’s a lot to like about the cars, tracks, and motor sport<br />

culture in Europe and for one day I got to wear my PCA Club<br />

Race t-shirt and mingle with the locals. The entire experience<br />

reminded me that while we don’t have a Super Cup series in<br />

the USA, PCA Club Racing does give us amateurs an alternative<br />

for getting our Porsche speed fix without expensive trips across<br />

the pond.<br />

drive at speeds of over 100 mph on the M40 motorway, and a 30<br />

minute “park and ride” excursion on a double-decker bus. Oh, by<br />

the way, I got passed on the M40 by a new <strong>2003</strong> Mercedes E55<br />

doing 120mph and I still managed to snap a digital picture of him<br />

blowing by, only to park two cars away from him at the track park<br />

and ride!<br />

While the facilities at Silverstone are very basic (not nearly as<br />

high tech as the Nurburgring), you get a sense of the history of<br />

this old airfield. A careful review of the track map, with its<br />

deceiving elevation changes and decreasing radius turns, and you<br />

know that it’s a PCA Club Racer’s dream.<br />

Time Trial #4 at Mineral Wells<br />

by Mike Bridges<br />

Ever missed a couple of events, then when you came back you just<br />

couldn't believe how much fun they were? Well, due to family<br />

commitments I missed the last two time trials, and couldn't believe<br />

what an absolute blast I had when I returned! Turnout was pretty light,<br />

only 30 cars (come on, people, WHERE ARE YOU??). As a result, we got<br />

to run 6 laps in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, yippee!<br />

My run group was working first, and then running, so I got to work<br />

the start/finish line, which is usually not dull, and especially this time! For<br />

those of you who haven't run at a time trial, if you go off course, that's a<br />

DNF (did not finish). If you DNF twice in the same spot (which I've<br />

done), you get the black flag at start/finish to come off course, then you<br />

go back out with an instructor to show you what you're doing wrong. Of<br />

course, if you DNF AT the start/finish line, that puts you in close proximity<br />

to the course workers (got to have the flags reasonably close to be<br />

in the driver's field of view). When you DNF there multiple times, we're<br />

likely to start throwing the black flag at you, literally! Word to the drivers,<br />

WATCH THE FLAGS! Also to the course workers, if a Red flag is called,<br />

don't just stand at the station and hold the red flag up, the driver is likely<br />

to miss it. WAVE it like crazy and get into the driver's field of view (not<br />

dangerously, of course). OK, off my soapbox.<br />

Photo by Kevin Hardison<br />

NEVER gotten right! Decreasing radius, off-camber, just an absolute ball<br />

to drive! My best time of the morning was 70.3xx seconds, so my goal for<br />

the afternoon was to break into the sixties. Alas,‘twas not to be, as I managed<br />

to get down to a 70.30x, but no better. On the other hand, I had two<br />

...and blast off again to turn 4 which<br />

I’ve NEVER gotten right...<br />

consolations: first, I was one of the few to improve their times in the afternoon<br />

(which means I was getting better on the course more than the<br />

increased temps were slowing me down), and I took top time in my class!<br />

Of course, I was also mid-pack and caboose as well (the only one in OA).<br />

I can't wait for the next one!<br />

Mike Bridges “sharing” the track with Tom Snodgrass.<br />

Course #1 is my favorite, especially in the ‘Vette. It's the fastest, especially<br />

going into turn 3, the hairpin. I got it right twice, actually touching<br />

on the rev limiter in 3rd gear, about 108-110 mph (not paying real close<br />

attention to the speedometer!). Then it's HARD on the brakes, down to<br />

2nd gear, around the hairpin, and blast off again to turn 4, which I've<br />

Tech Session at Boardwalk Porsche<br />

by Michael Wingfield<br />

On Saturday morning, September 13, about 30 Maverick Region<br />

members descended on Boardwalk Porsche for the Boardwalk<br />

Tech Session. Besides being greeted by the friendly staff at<br />

Boardwalk Porsche, Maverick members found an ample supply of<br />

donuts, kolaches, orange juice, hot cocoa, and coffee to help wake up to<br />

the business of learning about cars.<br />

The format of this event was slightly different than some tech<br />

sessions. This event was operated under a walk, look, and ask (Q&A)<br />

format rather than a formal presentation of a topic. To help spawn<br />

questions, Boardwalk Porsche had several cars on display in the service<br />

area, along with some automotive-related product and service vendors.<br />

Up on the lifts within the service area, sat a Silver Cayenne S, a<br />

black GT3, and a black 996 without an engine. The Cayenne served as<br />

the subject vehicle for John Gladwill’s Q&A on the new all-wheel drive<br />

...sent the airbag and<br />

mounting bracket soaring...<br />

suspension of the Cayenne. The GT3 served as the subject for Q&A for<br />

the composite brake components on this car. A new caliper, composite<br />

rotor and brake pads were displayed beside the GT3. Having replaced<br />

several rotors on my 951, I was amazed at the light weight of the<br />

composite rotor and the six-piston caliper. Finally, for anyone who<br />

wondered what a 996 would look like without an engine, one simply<br />

had to look up under the rear of the car. Also on display in the service<br />

area was a black Cayenne Turbo and a silver GT2.<br />

Not only did Boardwalk host show-and-tell on the cars in the<br />

service bay, but also they had several product vendors and representatives<br />

to answer questions about their individual wares. Pirelli Tires, Mobil-1<br />

Oil, and Xtreme Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) each had product and<br />

service information, as well as lots of free goodies available to give to the<br />

inquisitive individual.<br />

The gentlemen from Xtreme PDR held a drawing for a free PDR<br />

repair as a demonstration of their service. If you ever had a dent on<br />

your Porsche, now was the time to show it off as the technicians<br />

reviewed each dent in each car presented for service and drew an<br />

owner’s name from the hat. Dennis Chamberlain was the lucky winner<br />

of the free demonstration<br />

PDR and pulled<br />

his maroon Boxster<br />

into the service bay for<br />

all to see. Within a few<br />

short minutes, the<br />

guys from Xtreme<br />

PDR had removed the<br />

left air intake (with<br />

some assistance from<br />

John Gladwill, Porsche<br />

Master Technician),<br />

and smoothed out the<br />

dent in the left rear<br />

fender of Dennis’<br />

Boxster as good as<br />

new. The Xtreme<br />

PDR guys are at<br />

Boardwalk Porsche<br />

every Wednesday, so if General Manager, Bobby Rodriguez<br />

you have a PDR need,<br />

call a service advisor and schedule an appointment.<br />

Cliff Blackshear, the Shop Foreman, then lead everyone outside for<br />

a demonstration of an airbag deployment. Cliff gave us some<br />

background on how airbags work, and then asked us to stand clear of<br />

the bag. John Gladwill next set off the airbag, which came from the<br />

passenger side of a 996. The sound of the explosion was deafening!<br />

Likewise, the force of the charge sent the airbag and mounting bracket<br />

soaring over ten feet straight up in the air, where it then floated down to<br />

the ground like a hot air balloon. Boardwalk Porsche President Bobby<br />

Rodriguez encouraged further discussion by relating a personal story of<br />

having been on a car when the airbags deployed. Other stories then<br />

began to circulate among those persons who had actually experienced<br />

Karen - Eric may be hiding<br />

something in the garage...<br />

similar airbag deployments in accident situations. I found it<br />

remarkable that those relating the stories said they never heard the<br />

explosion of the airbag as the din of metal crashing and glass breaking<br />

drowned out sound of<br />

the airbag charge. After<br />

hearing several such<br />

stories, I count myself<br />

blessed to have never<br />

experienced such a<br />

situation.<br />

Finally, it was time<br />

to distribute the many<br />

door prizes provided by<br />

Boardwalk Porsche,<br />

Mobil-1, and Pirelli.<br />

Among the door prizes of<br />

shirts, caps, jackets, and<br />

Frisbees, were some very<br />

elegant gifts including a<br />

miniature model car collection<br />

set, a talking<br />

Boxster (which speaks in<br />

three languages), Pirelli<br />

calendars, and designer<br />

racing watches.<br />

Thanks again to Boardwalk Porsche (Bobby Rodriguez, Larry Irby,<br />

John Gladwill, Rick Jordan, Cliff Backshear, Hans Hoffmann, Carol<br />

Pierce, and Tracy Rathburn), and others that took time away from their<br />

Saturday to play host to some inquisitive Mavericks. Likewise, thanks to<br />

Xtreme PDR, Mobil-1, and Pirelli for participating in the tech session.<br />

Porsche Announces 911 Turbo Cabriolet<br />

by Porsche Cars North America<br />

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, July 22, <strong>2003</strong> --- Porsche has<br />

announced it will produce the first 911 Turbo Cabriolet since<br />

1989. Arriving at Porsche dealerships in the fall of this year, the<br />

2004 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is based on the existing<br />

Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe, incorporating the Coupe's engine,<br />

body structure, four-wheel drive system, chassis, and suspension<br />

and brake systems<br />

Power for the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet, transferred through<br />

either the manual six-speed or optional five-speed Tiptronic<br />

automatic transmission, comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-<br />

liter six-cylinder engine producing 415 (SAE) horsepower. It<br />

propels the car from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.3 seconds<br />

and to a top track speed of 189 mph (305 km/h).<br />

Taking styling features from the 911 Turbo Coupe, the<br />

Cabriolet incorporates the Coupe's three large front air intake<br />

cooling scoops, intercooler air intakes in the rear side panels, and<br />

a rear spoiler that deploys at 75 mph (120 km/h) and retracts<br />

at 55 mph (80 km/h). As found on all current Porsche 911<br />

Cabriolets, the Turbo Cabriolet is equipped with a power<br />

convertible top that raises or lowers in just 20 seconds. To<br />

maintain body stiffness, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet's structure is<br />

enhanced with reinforced side-sills featuring body panels and<br />

elements doubled in thickness, additional junction plates, and<br />

shaft reinforcements behind the B pillar.<br />

Like the Turbo Coupe and all Porsche Carrera® 4 models, the<br />

Turbo Cabriolet's four-wheel drive system delivers from five to 40<br />

percent of the engine power to the front wheels depending on<br />

driving conditions. The new Turbo Cabriolet is also fitted with<br />

the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system as standard<br />

equipment.<br />

To ensure supreme stopping power at all times without the<br />

slightest fading, the new Turbo Cabriolet comes with four-piston<br />

fixed-caliper brakes plus inner-vented, cross-drilled brake discs<br />

front and rear measuring 13.0 in. (330 millimeters) in diameter.<br />

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are available as an<br />

option, setting new standards in terms of brake response, fadefree<br />

performance, low weight and a long service life. Eighteeninch<br />

light alloy wheels with tires measuring 225/40 on the front<br />

axle and 295/30 on the rear axle transfer the braking power to<br />

the road.<br />

The 911 Turbo Cabriolet comes with an extensive range of<br />

standard equipment. This includes metallic paint, full leather<br />

interior, a hardtop and wind deflector, Bose audio system and<br />

Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system comprising<br />

a double tuner, CD player, navigation system and trip computer.<br />

It will be available beginning in <strong>October</strong> of this year starting at a<br />

Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of $128,200 U.S. and<br />

$187,800 Canadian.<br />

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta,<br />

Ga., and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the<br />

exclusive importers of Porsche vehicles for the United States and<br />

Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c.F.<br />

Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 200 people who<br />

provide Porsche vehicles, parts, marketing and training for its 204<br />

U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners<br />

with best-in-class service.<br />

WHAT WILL YOU MAKE<br />

OF TODAY’S MARKET?<br />

For over 20 years, Value Trust has searched all types of markets for stocks that appear to be<br />

undervalued. Our investment approach has remained steady in good times and bad, and it has<br />

made Value Trust the only fund to outperform the S&P 500 for each of the past 12 calendar years.<br />

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Value<br />

Trust's inception date is 4/16/82. The investment return and principal<br />

value of the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,<br />

when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.<br />

Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains<br />

distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not<br />

been waived in various periods. The S&P 500 index is based on<br />

common stock prices, including reinvestment of dividends and<br />

capital gains distributions, and is generally considered representative<br />

of the U.S. stock market. Source: Lipper Inc.<br />
