Slipstream - June 2015

Around the Bend...
By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
With an unusally wet spring
that continued through the
month of May this year, Mav
members have had a challenge keeping
their rides clean after their exercise
regimen. Fortunately, our drives,
rallies, and many other club events
have somehow been able to miss these
showers and carry on as planned.
Each month, Slipstream attempts to bring our members
highlights of the multitude of club happenings as well
as updates on the many upcoming opportunities for
your participation. I appreciate the many members who
serve as authors of these articles in addition to those
members who actively contribute photographs to provide
visual interest to the stories.
Beginning with this issue, I’m going to introduce the
concept of a “hybrid” magazine. No, don’t worry, theprint
version of Slipstream you’ve come to know
and love is not undergoing any radical changes.
For example, Wendy Shoffit publishes each
Slipstream in PDF format via our club website. The
advantage of that version starts with it being in
full-color and continues with online links being
available to give you even more content than what is on
the printed pages. You can get each issue in PDF format
at http://mav.pca.org/ under the Newsletter tab.
I’ll also begin including QR codes to enable you to use
your mobile device to access even more information.
Search “QR code” to get a reader for your phone or
other mobile device.
As an example of the concept for
the Slipstream hybrid, use this QR
code to check out what Porsche
is thinking about a possible 911
hybrid option with the next scheduled
update of that model.
And remember, I provide daily
updates to remind you of club and other Porsche events
and news via our Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/
MaverickPCA and hashtag of #mavpca.
Finally, don’t forget to update your wardrobe
for this summer driving season by visiting our
online club Goodie Store as noted below.
Read on to see what’s “around the bend” in this
month’s issue!
