SPROCKETS: Hit the road! 

by David Robertson, Region President 

Summer has arrived and hopefully the wet weather 

we have experienced all the way back to September is 

subsiding. There have not been many weekends this 

past winter and spring where a good drive through the 

twisty backroads has been an optimal experience. Now 

that we are past all of that, it is time to hit the road! 

This is perfect weather for the convertible tops down or 

sunroofs open. If you have neither, then roll down the 

windows and enjoy the roar! 

There are plenty of opportunities to get out with 

other Maverick members and enjoy a drive or just hang 

out and look at other Porsches. 

The Maverick Region PCA is about much 

more than just owning a Porsche. It’s 

really many things, including sharing 

knowledge about our cars, including 

servicing and ownership tips. Most of 

all, it’s about the people we meet and 

lifelong friendships we make. 

At just about every event I attend I meet someone who 

has been a member of the club for years but attending 

for the first time. Maybe they typically attend a DE but 

haven’t been to a tour, or they usually attend Mavs & 

Mochas and haven’t been to an autocross. Perhaps they 

have never attended one of our fantastic events. In any 

case the comment is always “Wow, why haven’t I done 

this before? I am having a great time!” 

Myra Sutton, a dear member of the club since the 

1970s, passed away recently. I met Myra at one of the 

first events I ever attended and she made me feel very 

welcome, telling me about the club and introducing me 

to other people. I knew I had found the right spot with 

the Maverick Region. She was living on borrowed time 

the last few years, but I never saw her enthusiasm waiver 

for the people in the Maverick Region, or for travelling 

across the country to PCA Parade with husband Jerry, 

or for fierce competitiveness on the autocross course. 

Myra’s spirit has been an inspiration to me. It’s not just 

the cars, it’s the people! 

MAV OF THE MONTH: 

Peter Wen 

Peter Wen joined PCA and the Maverick Region in December 2015 shortly after he 

purchased his 2014 Cayman. By the next fall, he was actively involved in many Region 

events and participated in his first DE. That set the Porsche hook deep; so deep in fact 

that by January of 2017, Peter had sold his Cayman and purchased a beautiful 2011 

Turbo S Cabriolet. It was a PTS (paint to sample) car inside and out, featuring Polar 

Silver over a Lipstick Red leather interior all the way down to the leather-wrapped air 

vents. It affectionately became known as “One-of-Wen.” You will find Peter pitching in 

wherever a need arises, many times directing parking at Mavs & Mochas, even in the 

rain that we have had in the past months. He has also started a new feature in Slipstream, 

with market prices for Porsches, that has become an instant favorite. Thank you Peter 

-- we never get tired of looking at that red interior!

April Mavs & Mochas Recap 

by Bill Kruder, Mavs & Mochas Chair 

photos provided by Paul Moseley 

I believe the saying is “April showers bring May 

flowers.” We certainly have had the showers. Due 

to all the rain we had to postpone April’s Mavs & 

Mochas from its original date (4/13) and scramble 

to get it rescheduled for 4/27. Needless to say, the 

weather cooperated and we had nearly 130 cars in 

attendance, including 16 914s. 

You may or may not know, but the 914, once 

considered an eyesore but now an icon, 

is celebrating 50 years since production 

started in 1969. That being said, I think the 

words of a few owners and pictures of the 

morning tell it all. 

“I married into a family of car enthusiasts who 

quickly got me interested in Porsches. I started looking 

on and off at 914s because I loved its vintage look and 

the vibrant colors, but wasn’t sure it was right for me. 

As soon as I took mine for a test drive, I was hooked 

and haven’t looked back!” - Katie Scheetz, 1973 owner 

“My Olympic blue 914 is a perfect blend of eyecatching 

classic style, performance, and handling. 

Keep the top off and enjoy the ride. Plus it is my wife’s 

favorite car!” – Alan Lage, 1974 owner 

“My wife’s 914 was designed to be TONS of fun - it 

was intentionally built by Porsche to be a street legal 

Go-Kart! Just sitting in the car makes us smile every 

single time; driving it makes us happy every single time. 

Plus the two trunks make it great to take to the grocery 

store.”- Clay Perrine 

Many thanks go to Park Place Porsche Dallas for 

their continued sponsorship of Mavs & Mochas, and a 

huge thank you to Al and his team at Zims Autotechnik 

for hosting us and providing us with endless cups of 

Felix Coffee.

A Maverick goes to Hawaii 

by Michael Durovick 

photo provided by Michael Durovick 

My wife and I recently returned 

from our vacation to Hawaii. While 

there, I was hoping to photograph a 

Porsche or two in the natural beauty 

of the islands. So I contacted the 

President of the Big Island Hawaii 

Region, Gunner Mench, who is the 

owner/operator of the art gallery 

Harbor Gallery in Waimea. We met 

him at his gallery and were chatting 

for some time when he told me he 

couldn’t leave the gallery to take 

the car for a shoot. 

I was a little disappointed, 

thinking I wasn’t going to be able 

to take any photos. But to my great 

surprise, he handed me the keys 

to his fuel-injected 1980 SC Targa 

and said to take it up the coast and 

find a nice spot to shoot it. What!?! 

Who hands the keys to a classic 

Porsche to a complete stranger? He 

said he had seen my photography 

and liked my work and wanted to 

see what I could do. For him to 

say he likes my photos was a huge 

thrill -- especially an art gallery 

owner, with his father having 

been a professional photographer 

in Germany. His father had done 

professional advertising photos for 

the Porsche 356 back in the day 

and even had a Porsche delivered to 

him by Ferry Porsche himself! 

So I heeded his request to keep 

it under 100 mph (never went over 

65) and got some good shots. What 

a dream come true -- driving an aircooled 

Targa (top off) in Hawaii. 

And what a nice guy Gunner is. 

Thanks Gunner. 

I had contacted the President 

of the Oahu PCA, Ellen Liddle, 

who graciously had put together 

an impromptu Porsche drive for 

Wanda and me to participate in 

when we traveled over to Oahu later 

in our trip. We were picked up by 

Rob and his son in their Panamera 

GTS at our Waikiki beach hotel and 

went to meet up with the rest of the 

group at a local coffee shop. 

From there, the group of five 

Porsches took a spirited drive 

through the southeast portions of 

the island, stopping along the way 

to grab some shots of the cars. 

This included the Lanai Lookout, 

Halona Blowhole, Sandy Beach, 

and Makupu’u Lookout. My wife 

enjoyed the view from Ellen’s 911, 

while I took shotgun in Ken’s new 

white 911 turbo cabriolet. This 

road, Kalaniana’ole Highway, is 


perfect for a spirited Porsche drive. The twisty curves 

and blind corners make for both an exhilarating drive 

and fantastic aural experience. The echoes of the 

throaty exhausts of five Porsches tearing down this 

road was quite the experience, made even better with 

the top down on Ken’s Turbo. 

Our final destination was the beach at Bellows Air 

Force station on the east side of Oahu for sunset shots. 

The pavement on the road to this beach went right up 

to the water, making for some good photos. As several 

members of the group have military affiliations, we 

were all able to get on base. Afterwards we headed to 

Maui Brewing Company for some dinner and lively 

discussions. We were so amazed how quickly we all got 

along and agreed that the Porsche Club motto is true: 

it’s not just the cars, it’s the people! 

Left to right from back row: Rob Nelson, Ivan Serrano, Ken Kwock, Michael Durovick, Ellen 

Liddle, Wanda Durovick, Tracy Fowler Immediately Right: Michael and Wanda Durovick 

Your mind’s been racing. 

Catch up. 

Decades of dreaming, fulfilled instantaneously. The iconic 911 Carrera. Legendary 

handling, immediate power, and decades of motorsport heritage. It is the full 

measure of a sports car. Found only in a Porsche. Porsche. There is no substitute. 

The 911 Carrera.

Drivers’ Education Series: April at MSR 

by Renee Hayden, Region DE Chair 

photos provided by author 

We were back to the track at MotorSport Ranch in 

Cresson for our April 27 and 28 “Spring Fling” High 

Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) event. With record 

attendance and beautiful dry weather, we had another very 

successful weekend. Thank you to all who participated in 

the event, to those who participated in the charity parade 

laps benefitting Patriot PAWS, and a special welcome and 

thank you to a new DE sponsor, RAC Performance. 

After the driving ended on Saturday we gathered at the 

Drive Exotic building at MotorSport Ranch for a social 

hour of drinks and snacks. This particular social hour, we 

honored and thanked John Sandusky for his leadership 

and selfless dedication to the HPDE team for 20 years. 

John continues within the HPDE leadership team as our 

Coach Training Team Leader. John trains our advanced 

drivers as they continue their journey within the HPDE 

program to become future coaches. 

Our next HPDE opportunity will be at Circuit 

of the Americas (COTA) in Austin on June 

7 through 9. The HPDE name is the Austin 

Schnell Fest and the event is presented by the 

Hill Country, Lone Star, and Maverick Regions 

of PCA, and the Houston Chapter of BMW-CCA. 

Registration is open now and will remain open until 

May 31 at noon CDT, so register as soon as possible to 

make sure you get into the event. For more information, 

go to http://austinschnellfest.clubregistration.net/. 

After the June Austin Schnell Fest, we will take a break 

for summer and be back in mid-September to run at the 

newly configured Eagles Canyon Raceway. Please don’t 

miss an opportunity to run at COTA in June or Eagles 

Canyon in September. Both are spectacular but very 

different tracks. As always, you can find out more about 

HPDEs and our event schedule at http://mav.pca.org/ 

Events/DE/. See you in the corners soon!

Maverick Trivia: Are you a Porschephile? 

Jerry DeFeo 

sponsored by Zims Autotechnik 

You can test your 

knowledge (or Google search 

ability) of all things Porsche 

by participating in the 

monthly trivia contest posted 

online at http://mav.pca.org/ 

trivia. Answers are due by the 

last day of each month. 

The winner of the trivia 

contest receives a $25 gift 

certificate from our sponsor, Zims Autotechnik. In the case of ties, a random 

drawing determines the winner. 

Here are the questions and answers for the April 2019 Trivia. We went with 

a Trivia that brings Q&A this month dealing with all kinds of items about 

Porsches and other automotive items. The winner this month, getting ALL 5 

of 5 correct, was Tom Martin. Honorable Mention goes to Michelle Cook, 

getting 4 of 5 correct. 

1. A woman, ________ , won Olympic Gold Medals in shotput and 

discus throwing before turning to auto racing. She was so intent 

on winning that she opted for a double 

mastectomy because she said it was easier for 

her to fit into the race cars of the era. She was

Mav Autocross Series Event 3: Lone Star Park 

by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images 

Event 3 was our first 

time back this year at 

the Lone Star Park site 

in Grand Prairie, TX. 

The rolling hills of this 

huge parking lot give the 

course designers a lot of 

room to be creative in 

course design. 

Ten of the 93 cars at 

this event were Porsches. 

Class P1, the early 914 

and 911 class, was 

dominated by Ed Mayo 

all day in his beautiful 

silver 911S. Sigrid was 

chasing him all day but 

could not get closer than 

a one second difference. 

Amir El-Baghdaddy ran Ed Mayo and Elvira, his 1972 911S 

uncontested in class P2 

with his 944 S2 Cabriolet. Mas Watanabe had some 

challenge in class P3 from William Mayo and Carolle 

Liu but took the win. Doug Edney won in class P4 with 

his 996, and in P5, Owen Coulman turned first quick 

Porsche time with his red 996 GT3 over Dawn Marie 

Grey in her yellow GT4. 

Performance Index adjusted, Ed Mayo was first 

quick in his early 911S over Owen’s GT3 by just 0.075 

seconds, and third was Sigrid in her 914. Sigrid was also 

fourth quick in the ladies’ overall Performance Index. 

You can find the season schedule on the page to the 

left. Our next event will be Challenge Cup #6 on Sunday 

July 21st at Lone Star Park in Grand Prarie, TX followed 

up by Cup #7 and #8 at the same locations. Contact 

Mark Schnoerr for details or go to the ER website at

The Pursuit of Happiness: Part 2 

by Jeff Mindrup 

N.B.: I later spoke with the third owner about his time with 

the car, and he told me, without a hint of sarcasm, that he 

never got comfortable with it because the color drew way too 

much attention. He now drives an ultraviolet purple GT3. 

The rest of the drive to Salt Lake City was unremarkable. 

Upon arriving later than originally planned, my gracious 

AirBNB host allowed me to use their garage for the night. 

Safe and sound, Happiness and I slept like babies that first 

night together. 

At 8:00 am I was out the door. Once again, a quick stop for 

gas was extended by 10 minutes to answer questions and talk 

about the car. Leaving the station, the GPS initially had me 

going south on I-15 and then at some later southerly point 

heading east. Seeing the much later ETA, I made a U-turn and 

headed back to Spanish Fork, which had a more direct route. 

Within an hour, I would be wishing I hadn’t “out-thunk” the 

wisdom of my GPS. 

“Here’s your sign,” the 

blue-collar joke begins. My 

signs came clear and at regular 

intervals as I traveled east on 

Highway 6 from Spanish 

Fork towards Soldier Summit, 

Utah. Every couple-hundredfoot 

increase in elevation, the 

temperature dropped a degree 

and the snow came down a 

little stronger. Although the 

skies had already warned 

me, the first sign appeared: 

“Starvation Road.” Wild thoughts spun in my head -- would 

I be one of those found in the snow melt next summer? Cell 

service was nonexistent. Another sign, a highway electronic 

warning sign: “Chains Required when Flashing.” Not 

flashing at the time, but I wondered if the light was burned 

out or just about to flipped on. 

I kept going. That’s the spirit of any adventure, come hell 

or high water; anything but high center. Sure, she has AWD, 

but with only a few inches of ground clearance and P-Zeros, 

I knew Happiness wasn’t ready for my level of persistence. 

All was well as long as I stayed in my lane. (Another of life’s 

often repeated and more often ignored lessons.) 

Eventually, I caught up to a VW Beetle that was tooling 

along at 30 when 40-45 seemed quite doable to me. After a 

few miles at this slower speed, the “schedule” forced me to 

the left and into the deeper snow of the road less traveled. 

(Remember the guy who, less than 24 hours ago, was 

feeling like his life was perfectly aligned? That confidence 

and Happiness were about to do a 180.) 

Instantly, a flood of equal parts regret, panic, and 

adrenaline rushed into my bloodstream. Happiness pivoted 

“Here’s your sign,” the blue-collar joke begins. 

My signs came clear and at regular intervals 

as I traveled east on Highway 6 from Spanish 

Fork towards Soldier Summit, Utah. Every 

couple-hundred-foot increase in elevation, the 

temperature dropped a degree and the snow 

came down a little stronger. Although the skies 

had already warned me, the first sign appeared: 

“Starvation Road.” 


on her center axis; the front end broke loose first, followed 

by the back end, a lesser movement with the front again, and 

then the back again. I held my line and tried to be gentler but 

it happened each time I tried to accelerate. 

It’s not her fault. It’s me, it’s the tire choice, and I am in 

that reality when time slows down, when persistence becomes 

stubbornness and then stands at the edge of the cliff where 

stubbornness becomes stupidity. My mind spins random 

thoughts of tomorrow’s headline on Rennlist: “Idiot Fifth 

Owner Smashes Rare Mexico Blue Porsche in Utah Mountains.” 

Thankfully though, there was a kinship, a brotherhood of 

sorts, from my rear-engine cousin. Having seen Happiness 

almost go off the road three times, the VW went full 

Fahrvergnügen by slowing down instead of making me pass. 

What a gift. I moved over to the right, took the road more 

travelled by, and that has made all the difference. 

Luck came in spades that day, as it sometimes needs to, 

in order to ensure potential 

Darwin Award winners one 

more sunrise. As a result of the 

ten inches of snow predicted 

and later realized that day, it 

turns out the Beetle was the 

only vehicle I encountered 

on the pass going in either 

direction. With no one directly 

in front or behind me, I could 

focus on doing exactly what 

Happiness and I were capable 

of and no more. 

Soldier Summit, Utah, the ghost town and the pass, lay 

at 7,477 feet. Thankfully things got easier from here on 

down. I was traveling faster than the snow storm, and the 

accumulating snow was less and less with each mountain 

village passed. As we descended the eastern slope, the 

temperatures gradually picked up and the roads became 

gradually clearer. 

After about an hour of mixed conditions, we arrived on 

the top of a great plateau. Descending into the valley below, 

the temperature rose from below freezing to 48 degrees in 

less than a mile. We were in the clear, but the schedule had 

suffered. Normally one could go from Orem to Moab in a 

little over three hours. It took me more than five that day. 

If I hadn’t been there just a few years ago, I would have 

thrown away the schedule and gone into Arches National 

Park to do some sightseeing and photography of the car. 

Foolishly, I was still stubbornly optimistic that I could still 

make it home late that night or early the following morning. 

As a consolation, I stopped on the way out of town to take 

a few shots in front of a typical Moab rock formation that 

makes this area so unique. 


I hit Albuquerque during late rush hour, and as a result 

of some unknown setting in my GPS, ended up off the 

Interstate and going down San Mateo Boulevard for about 

four miles. Ten minutes later, I was on I-40 headed east, with 

an ambitious goal of Amarillo for the night. 

Around 9:00 pm, somewhere in eastern New Mexico, the 

sandman began to win that day’s battle. By wild coincidence 

though, the Mavericks came on the radio shortly after 

crossing the Texas state line with “Dance the Night Away.” 

The opening lyrics seeming to confirm the overall mission 

now that we were back in Texas, “Here comes my happiness 

again. Right back to where it should have been.” 

The song’s happy beat and irony fueled me for another 30 

miles, but eventually sleep and common sense prevailed. A 

motel in Vega, Texas would end up being home for the night. 

The front desk clerk, bitten by Happiness’s charm, assured 

me he wouldn’t book any rooms even remotely near us. 

The sun rose on the final portion of my journey with about 

400 miles to home and only one last obstacle to navigate. 

That’s right. Estelline, Texas. 

Estelline, Texas: the #1 rated speed trap city in all of 

the U S of A in 2012, according to the National Motorists 

Association. I can even proudly count myself as one of the 

town’s many benefactors. 

From the looks of it, their speeding grift is still going strong. 

The town’s only policeman occupied a brand new tripleblack 

Mustang hiding under the same rock they got me while 

heading west in 2010. If you have read this article this far, let 

this be my gift to you. When on US Highway 287, east or west, 

slow down way before you ever get to Estelline. Way before. 

The last 250 miles were eventless, and after 2,008 miles 

we were home again, but the journey wouldn’t be over until 

I picked up my 3-year-old son Anton from his Montessori. If 

you know anything about 3-year-old boys, their conversation is 

typically pretty limited. Sentences like “I want a cookie please” 

or “I want to watch Mickey Mouse” are as complex as they get. 

I parked in the usual spot and went in to get him with a 

renewed spirit that the 2000 mile trip was worth it. Anton 

came out excitedly, saw the car and yelled enthusiastically, 

“Whoa whoa blue Porsche!” 

Walking to the car he kept asking “Blue Porsche, daddy! 

Do you like it? Blue Porsche, daddy!” I buckled him into his 

rear passenger booster seat and climbed into the driver’s seat. 

It was a very satisfying moment. I felt on top of the world 

again. My son is happy. I’m happy and all seems well. 

Now I know this is impossible, but in that brief pause 

where I sat and relished that moment before starting the car, 

I heard him say, “I’m not going to college am I?” 

I know he’s neither capable of complex thought nor of 

precise comedic timing, but I sure heard him say it. I drove 

us home into our garage and looked forward to a long 

night of sleep. 

The adventure was over, and at the same time, the 

adventure was just beginning. 

Welcome back to Mavericks country, Happiness; it’s 

where you belong.

Maverick Marktpreis: 914 

by Peter Wen 

Later this year the 914 will celebrate its 50-year anniversary. 

This rather unusual mid-engine, Targa-top, two-seat roadster 

was the lovechild of Volkswagen and Porsche. Two models 

were produced from 1970 to 1976. The base model (914/4) 

was equipped with a VW flat-four engine in a body built by 

Karmann. The sportier model (914/6) received a flat-six engine 

from the 911 T. Porsche sold both models in the U.S. In Europe, 

the 914 was badged and marketed as VW-Porsche. Really. 

Initially many purists thumbed their noses at the 914 because 

of the VW joint venture. However, the 914 proved to be a 

winner for Porsche. It was Motor Trend’s Import Car of the 

Year for 1970. The 914/4 became Porsche’s top seller, selling 

over 118,000 units worldwide. On the other hand, the 914/6 

was priced just slightly below the 911 T, selling poorly during 

its three-year production run. Only 3,351 914/6 units were 

built (of which 1,788 were sold in the US). 

Today the 914 is one of the most affordable vintage Porsches. 

Weighing just shy of 2,100 lbs., it is light and nimble. Many 

914s were modified for track or autocross use. They still have 

a loyal following among racers and track enthusiasts. As 

expected, the low production, 911-powered 914/6 is more 

desirable compared to its 914/4 sibling.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation 

by Bill Kruder 


This month’s conversation is 

another example of time turning an 

acquaintance into a shared friendship. 

About five or six years ago, I would 

see this guy at the monthly Cars & 

Coffee and would always say hi as I 

worked my way around the cars and 

people. Matter of fact I thought his 

name was Ed. Well time moved on, 

and fast forward to the last couple of 

years: “Ed” could always be counted 

on to show up at any of the coffee 

gatherings, and I would always take 

the time to admire his car. Then about 

six months ago when my wife and I 

decided to purchase a 993, I turned 

to “Ed” for advice. Let’s just say he 

had more information than I could 

have ever imagined, and he sold me 

on the idea of specifically buying a 

Tiptronic; we will save the rest of our 

car purchase for another day. 

So here is the next in my series 

of “conversations” I would like to 

share with you: 

Frank Briggs, enthusiast since 1989, 

Owner 1995 911 (993) 

Bill Kruder: So I know you are from 

here, right? 

Frank Briggs: Born and raised here. 

I was actually born in East Dallas - 

currently the site of Baylor Hospital 

- then moved to Duncanville. My 

Granddad bought 50 acres in 1949 

to build on for his family. When we 

first moved there we lived in the 

caretaker’s cottage; my two siblings 

and I actually slept on the screenedin 

porch. Funny, when I think back, 

it was pretty crazy, as my dad’s 

brother and sister also had three 

kids each, so here we all were, nine 

kids, living on this ranch. 

BK: Was there much there then? 

FB: Heck no! We rode horses into 

town (laughing). We were cowboys 

through and through; we were 

regulars at the local rodeo. 

BK: So you never left Duncanville? 

FB: Lived there for about twenty 

years until about 1969, when I was 

attending UTA. It was about this 

time everyone was getting drafted 

for the Vietnam War, so I decided to 

I needed to take charge of my fate 

and joined the Air Force. 

Frank and Bobbie with their 1995 993 

BK: What did you do? How long 

did you stay in? 

FB: They assigned me to be a 

Medic, like I knew anything about 

it (laughing), but that’s the military. 

Truly, as it turned out it, was the 

luckiest move I made. I was in for 

six years and never left Texas; heck, 

I barely left the area I was from. 

BK: How did you and Bobbie meet? 

FB: We actually met at UTA, but 

it was through her sister. While I 

was attending UTA, I was working 

at a bank, and I was training her 

sister to be a teller. Just through 

conversation she told me she had a 

sister, and I had seen Bobbie around 

town, so I knew who she was all 

right. Her sister had even given me 

her phone number, which I never 

called. Well one day on campus, 

Bobbie walked by and we made eye 

contact and she kept on walking. 

As she went by I told myself if she 

looks back towards me I’m calling 

her. Well sure enough she looked 

back . . . and I called (smiling). 

BK: So how long did you guys date 

before getting married? 

FB: Let’s just say things were 

moving fast. Again this was 1969 

and the draft was looming. We 

were dating for about four months 

before I signed up for the Air Force, 

and right before signing we got 

married. Fifty years later she still 

thinks it was a good choice. 

BK: I know you are retired now but 

what did you do prior? 

FB: I spent 43 years in banking, retiring 

in 2009 from View Point Bank. 

BK: Let’s talk cars. What was your first? 

FB: My first car was a 1955 Ford 

that I bought in 1963. I turned 

it into a hot rod that I drove all 

over town. I kept it, and at the 

same time I bought a 1931 Chevy 

that I restored back to its original 

condition. 

BK: Where did you get the interest 

and knowledge about cars? 

FB: My mom’s dad owned a car 

dealership in Corsicana. He would 

take me to the shop - mind you I 

was only six or seven years old - 

but I would hang out back there 

watching them work on cars. Guess 

it kind of stuck with me. 

BK: I hear you are a Model A guy? 

FB: Guess you could say that. My 

first was a 1929 Ford Model A 

coupe. I purchased it around 1968 

and did a ground-up restoration. 


BK: Is this the one 

you still have? 

FB: No, I sold 

that, and in 1984 

I bought a totally 

restored 1930 

Model A. We still 

have it. 

1930 Standard Tudor Sedan Model A 

BK: Some where 

along the way you 

caught the sports car bug I hear? 

FB: I did! In the ‘70s-‘80s I was into MGs so much I was 

even the president of the local chapter back in 1987. 

BK: Ok, let’s talk Porsches now. First one? 

FB: That was 1989. We bought a ‘76 912E. Think they 

only made about 2000 of them, and for one year only; 

I paid about $7500. Our daughter was graduating 

from A&M and was getting married, so we sold the 

car in 1995. 

BK: Was the 993 next then? 

FB: No, we went without a Porsche until 2002 when we 

bought a ‘79 SC, black on black with a whaletail. We 

had that for about three years and sold it in 2005. 

BK: So now the 993? 

FB: Yes that was next; we actually had both for a couple 

months. We bought the 993 in May of 2005. 

BK: Why the 993? 

FB: When the car came out in 1995 I was in love 

with it - the lines are just perfect. And the rear deck 

automatically going up and down was a sight to see. 

BK: How did you find this one? 

FB: I was reading Slipstream and a member had posted 

it for a friend of his. We loved the color: Aventurine 

Green over Marble Gray. It was a Tiptronic, which I 

thought was actually kind of rare, and it had 117K 

miles on it; we purchased it for $21.5K. That was really 

a bargain then and unbelievable by today’s market. 

BK: And I hear you drive the wheels off this car? 

FB: Well, in the 14 years we have had it we have been to 

four Parades and countless other events. It has been out 

to California and east to North Carolina, up to Chicago 

and down to New Orleans. 

Well there you have it: another “what if.” Don’t miss 

out on those around you - it may be the next “Ed!”

Follow the Easter Bunny Road Rally: 2019 

by Karen Horgan 

photos provided by Jay Lynch and Don Sebert 

This year’s Easter Rally was a milestone for the Maverick 

Region PCA. This was the 5th Annual Easter Rally! As in 

past years, this rally was filled with fun, a scenic route, some 

very interesting photographs, and plenty of head-scratching 

questions to really make you think! 

through Wylie and Sachse on the way back to Ten50 BBQ. 

Participants were treated to some picturesque scenery and 

fun country roads along the way. Navigators and drivers 

were challenged to match photographs of interesting roadside 

attractions and to answer questions by finding hints along the 

route. It made for a very fun, enjoyable, and entertaining ride. 

Back at Ten50 BBQ, everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch 

and awards presentation. The award winners were:

The Easter Rally was organized by the awesome 

Rallymeisters, Don Sebert and George Luxbacher. The 

rally committee included Jeff Sebert, Ed Martelle, Jay 

Lynch, and Warren and Karen Horgan. Thanks to 

everyone for pitching in and making this such a 

memorable event! 

The Easter Bunny held up his end of the bargain and 

provided absolutely beautiful weather for the rally. The 

morning started out cool and sunny but soon warmed up 

to be the perfect spring day in Texas. Lots of sunshine, blue 

skies, and plenty of Porsches! We had about 19 Porsches and 

50 people participating. 

We began and ended the rally at Ten50 BBQ, located at 

1050 N. Central Expressway in Richardson. A big thank you 

goes to William Weisiger, Managing Partner and Pitmaster 

at Ten50 BBQ. William arranged to host our group at the 

restaurant and provided plenty of parking before and after the 

event. Best of all, after the rally, we enjoyed a mouthwatering 

meal of the most delicious BBQ. If you live in the Richardson- 

North Dallas area (or if you happen to be in that area), stop 

by Ten50 BBQ and check out the scrumptious menu! William 

is also member of the Maverick Region, and drives a beautiful 

2016 Boxster 981 Black Edition, so look for him at club 

events and be sure to say hello. 

Rally participants left the parking lot of Ten50 BBQ and 

headed toward Murphy to begin the 82-mile route. The 

drive took us past the famous Southfork Ranch and made a 

loop around beautiful Lake Lavon, and then drivers headed

ABCDE Car Day: 2019 

by Pat Carmichael 

Oh what a beautiful day! The All British and European 

Car Day and the 25 Porsches in attendance were all 

benefactors. For several of us, it all started with a quick 

meetup at Hypnotic Donuts for broad and varied breakfast 

treats and then a short drive to the lakeside position we 

have had before at the ABCDE. It’s a grand spot with 

exceptional views and enormous shade trees for the 

Porsche faithful to gather in our comfy chairs and watch 

the events unfold. This is exceptionally enjoyable as there 

is a continuous parade of cars going to their lineup. 

This car enthusiast gathering is unique as the range of 

cars here is really amazing. From the vary obscure to the 

photos provided by Rudy Karimi 

mainstream. Pretty much everything you can think of is 

represented. The survivors to the concours restored. The 

owners are almost always in attendance and ready to fill 

you in with the details of the story behind the cars. 

PCA Porsche was well represented too, from the early 

356s to the latest models. The color band was covered 

as well with one of the smaller passers by calling them 

Skittles … HA! I have heard that before, but if was funny 

coming from such a squirty little person! The fan voting 

for the favorites picked some favorite Porsche models: 

Congratulations to.... 

1. Bill McBride: 1965 356C 

2. William Kruder: 1964 356C 

3. Rob Wallace: 1973 914S 

It was a well-attended event, as it always is, but it 

doesn’t hurt to be at a great venue. White Rock Lake 

is certainly one of Dallas’ best locales for family 

activities. All of this leads to a big thanks to the ABCDE 

for another great event and a special thanks for all of 

the PCA members who participated.

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor 

by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor 

I’ve literally just returned from the garage after watching 

a “fun repair job” spiral out of control into something less 

fun. Nothing horrible happened; I didn’t make any stupid 

mistakes, other than start a job on an old Porsche with 

expectations that the project would remain as it started in 

my head. You see friends, I’ve run headlong into something 

that many of you (okay most of you) already know: the 

phenomenon known as “while you are in there.” I didn’t 

roll off the turnip truck yesterday. I was very familiar with 

how it could happen; it just wouldn’t happen to me -- at 

least not all in one evening. 

I’m as guilty as the next guy (or gal). You start a project, 

and then before you know it, there are parts coming from 

every corner of the earth that have been more or less blessed 

with spousal approval. (I like to take a blanket approach: 

“I’m going to be replacing some things in the suspension,” 

but there’s fine print. I mean, there is always fine print. Caveat 

emptor, right? I never said it what that would entail. It’s not 

my fault that “some things” wind up being most things since 

it’s going to be apart anyway.) But that’s the long game; you’ve 

got to plan and then find the great parts and pieces. 

This was a different thing. This was a straightforward rear 

shock replacement. It doesn’t get any easier, it’s literally four 

bolts. How could that go wrong? Well take a seat and I’ll tell 

you. You see, in order to get to those four bolts, you need to 

remove the rear tires. Look at that! There are brakes under 

there. I did cook the pads at that DE, so that would mean pads 

and probably rotors, and I might as well replace those 35-yearold 

lines. And you can’t just do the rear -- they don’t do any 

work anyway. I wonder if I could get bigger calipers under here. 

It doesn’t stop there, it gets worse. When I regained focus 

on the task at hand, the shop light flashes the transmission. 

Is that a leak? Seriously? Well, I was always planning on 

changing the shift linkage and oh boy, here I go again. 

Four separate instances of this. For something as simple 

as replacing shocks. It’s a good thing I derive some pleasure 

from doing this on my own, because if I were trying to save 

money by DIY, dear Lord save me. I’d be better off leasing a 

skateboard. But I love this, right? Yeah, I do kind of love it. 

Stay tuned: I’m replacing spark plugs next weekend. How 

could that possibly go awry? Enjoy the drive. Unless your car 

is still in pieces like mine.
