Drifting
By John Hamilton, President
G
ame On!
Driving
season,
that is. We’ve
already had a
fabulous Sunday
Drive from north
of Fort Worth
that attracted 57 cars, and by the
time you read this, we will have had
several more great driving events:
• Bluebonnet Festival Tour
• Drivers’ Education at
Motorsport Ranch
• Autocross School at Pennington Field in Bedford
• 50 Years of Porsche car show
at Texas Motor Speedway!
Of course it’s almost impossible
to make it to all our events, but
that’s the amazing thing about
our Maverick Region Porsche
Club: we have so many volunteers who work hard to provide
lots of fun driving events!
Recently, I’ve been asked “which
should I do first: Autocross (AX)
or Driver’s Education (DE)?”
There’s no simple answer!
• Autocross is fantastic because
you get to discover, with an
instructor, what your car can
do and how you can control
it. It’s run on a flat surface
with traffic cones marking
the course, so there’s no
danger of hitting anything
(other than a cone, that is!).
• Drivers’ Education is great
because you get to drive your
car on a real track, with an
instructor in your car, teaching
you how to best drive your car
through turns and elevation
changes. It’s controlled and it’s
safe - you’re not permitted to
pass except in the designated
passing zones, and even then
2
only if the car
in front of you
gives you a
passing signal.
You’ll be amazed
by either event how
much more there is
to learn about driving your Porsche,
and by how much
you need to unlearn, since you’ve
created bad habits
all the time you’ve
been driving! The
thrill of learning
something new
while having fun is unbelievable!
Mav of the Month
Passionate? Committed? Focused?
Those words and many more
describe our Mav of the Month, Jim
Buckley. Jim has been
passionate about
our D.E. instructor
program and making
improvements in the
way our instructors
teach our students.
Jim, Wally Ruiz and
Bill Miller (with
help from Bill’s son,
Grant) put together
a presentation at a
board meeting to dramatically improve the
training for our instructors through the
use of a standardized
script and videos.
They went ahead and
implemented the
program through
their time and expense, and then at
the following board
meeting the board
approved the expenditure for the
improvements. Thanks to Jim’s
leadership, we will reinvigorate our
D.E. program and our instructors.
THANK YOU, JIM BUCKLEY - We
truly appreciate the PASSION that
you demonstrate to support your
club!

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor
A
s I write
this column, the
Fifty Years of
Porsche event
at Texas Motor
Speedway is still
a few days away.
But it will be over by the time you
read this. I can only hope that
you were able to make it there,
to be a part of our second 50th
Anniversary event of the year.
Other events on the horizon are
shown in the calendar on page 1
of this issue. An event that was just
recently scheduled is a Tech Session
on Saturday, May 19, dealing with
the topic of car detailing. Maverick
member Jack Griffin will be hosting
this event in his garage, which oddly enough he calls “Jack’s Garage.”
See the ad below for more details.
Another event that Jack is involved
with in June is the Autos in the Park
car show at the Cooper Aerobic
Center. I went last year (my first
time but definitely not my last!)
and spent the entire afternoon wandering among a couple hundred
beautifully prepared cars representing the US, Europe, and Asia. I had
no idea that there was such a wealth
of concours-quality cars in the area.
Most marques were well-represented by owners’ groups or clubs,
and Porsches were no exception.
If you are interested in showing
your car this year, see the ad on
page 12 for contact info. Or if you
just want to spend the afternoon
wandering amongst some gorgeous
examples of automotive art, admission is free, so make it a point to
visit the show on Saturday, June 3.
Otherwise, watch Slipstream and
our website, http://mav.pca.org,
for more special events coming
up later this year, including the
Father’s Day Picnic, a family outing
at Main Event, and a combination tour/rally to a wine tasting.

Maverick Minutes
By Madhu Rao, Secretary
O
ur April
meeting
started
at 7:05pm with
a welcome from
Region President
John Hamilton.
He shared an
update from Christy Payne about
our Maverick Region 50th Anniversary Raffle Trip to Germany.
As of April we have already sold
100 tickets. That is exciting and
great to hear! That means there
only 200 tickets left. To purchase
yours, visit the Maverick Region
website. By the way, have you
visited the newly updated website?
Check it out, it is quite nice.
At this point, Lisa Steele, started to
distribute her homemade chocolate
chip cookies. Meeting adjourned
7:08pm – just joking, April Fools.
The cookies were that good. Lisa,
the region wants the recipe.
Al Silva reported that the turnout
to the March Autocross and Timetrial events (AX/TT) was decent.
Next up, Lori Mauthe, our
new Drivers’ Education (DE)
chair, reminded everyone about
upcoming events including the
MotorSport Ranch 3.1-mile course
in April. She also noted that the
March DE event was profitable and
appreciated everyone’s support in
this regard, especially our sponsors. Lastly, she described the 1-day
DE on June 2 which sounds like
a lot of fun. Her racing interest is
evident - just check out the cover
and related articles in the March
2012 issue of Slipstream. Suggested
reading time, 8 minutes. Do with
that information what you will!
Linda Bambina described the 50
Years of Porsche Car Show event on
April 28 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Spectators are welcome as the en8
April 4, 2012
trance fee is only $5. The 50th Anniversary Committee has arranged
for an overhead photo shoot of
50 years of Porsches to celebrate
our anniversary. It is a big event,
worthy of inclusion in Slipstream
and Panorama. Congratulations
in advance for getting our region
anniversary and this event covered
in Porsche Panorama. It is a lot
of hard work and deserves worthy
praise from within the Region,
and now, nationally. Check out the
Maverick Region website for additional details and the opportunity
to order a poster of the photoshoot.
Linda also described the world
renowned, often imitated but never
duplicated, May at Mayo’s event on
May 5. Plans include great Mexican
food, beverages of choice for a Cinco de Mayo event, and a Concours
event. And yes, plans call for a DJ.
Maybe we’ll find the next “Grandmaster Mayo Mel” for this. (Note
to self: curb your irrational exuberexuber
ance by citing examples of early-hip
hop music you listened to in 1985.)
Linda also described a “costume concours” event to be
held in June. Sounds like fun.
Lisa Steele announced the second
most important news item, “WE
HAVE A DONUT SPONSOR for
our DE events”. Woo Hoo! Here’s
to raising our blood glucose just
before the start of a DE classroom
session. Thanks to Jim Falgout of
Falgout and Associates for doing
this. The most important news
item from Lisa, though, is that our
Region continues to grow. Our
total membership is now 2085!
Wendy Shoffit noted that Parade registration is open now.
Details are available on the
Maverick Region website.
Jack Griffin and Frank Briggs
discussed upcoming Concours
events at May at Mayos and the
Autos in the Park event on June
3 at the Cooper Clinic. Frank
described the Concours for May
at Mayos which will be a People’s
Choice event. He is planning on
40 registrants for this. Staging
starts at 4:30pm. Fantastic prizes
will be available for the winners.
Ed Mullenix is working on
a tech session to be held on
May 19. Details are available
elsewhere in this issue and on
the Maverick Region website.
Tom Minnella, our Vice-President,
noted the insurance certificates
are complete for April.
Carey Spreen noted that we should
update page 4 of Slipstream which
lists all of the board members and
executive council. If you have an
updated photo or contact inforinfor
mation please send it to editor@
mavpca.org. Carey has a couple
of issues now under his belt and is
doing a great job as editor. Carey,
congratulations on a job well done.
Jim Falgout, our Treasurer,
noted that our March DE event
was profitable. Our finances are
trending in the right direction.
We have all taken to heart the
need to be more fiscally prudent
about expenses this year.
Our guest, Gareth Maurice, was
excited about attending his first
board meeting and getting “more
involved.” He has been helping
Brendan Eagan and John Harvey
with their Sunday Drive Tours and
all of the pre-driving work that
is involved. Sounds like a great
excuse to get your Porsche out
there on the open roads. Gareth,
we look forward to seeing you at
upcoming events and helping out
the Region in any way you choose.
Brendan Eagan, brimming with
enthusiasm, noted that nearly 60
cars participated in the March
Sunday Drive which included the
tour, stops at the Vintage Flight
Museum, and at Joe T Garcia’s
restaurant in Ft.Worth. He reminded us that the next drive will
be on April 29, which features a
tour of Bluebonnet country in
the Ellis County area. Lastly, he
noted the May 27 Sunday Drive
will feature an “Intro to Autocross” theme, so make sure you
can join us for that fun event.
Jim Buckley and Bill Miller
described a series of recent initiatives to increase the quality of our
DE events. One component of
this is to record on video different
aspects of the DE experience to
better prepare drivers for the program. Another component is to
launch a comprehensive training
program containing video mod-
ules and classroom
instruction for the
DE instructors.
My read: this will
be a “best-in-class”
program that will
be unsurpassed by
others. In fact, they
have reached out
to, and received
financial commitments of support
from, other nearby
PCA Regions to
support the development of this integrated program.
John Hamilton
concluded by
thanking everyone
for their help and
participation in
Region events.
Meeting adjourned
at 8:25pm.
May 9
By Linda Bambina, PR Chair and MRPCA 50th Anniversary Committee
A
s Maverick
Region’s
volunteer
Historian for this
50th Anniversary
year, I have found
it great fun to
dig into past
“archives” and then try to figure
out a way to recapture some of
the more memorable events in an
updated way. One of those events
is the “Costume Concours.”
The idea was sparked for me at a
Porsche Parade when one of the
visiting dignitaries from Porsche
AG commented on the differences
between Concours d’Elegance competitions held in the States vs. those
instead of cleaning their cars
for months on
end with q-tips,
super-soft cotton
baby diapers, and
every cleaning
solution known
to man. And so
the concept of
dressing up one’s
car and oneself
(and/or one’s
family) grew
into a competitive event at our
yearly RoundUp
weekends (invented by Teri Davis in
the ‘80’s). Over the years we have
had Ladybugs,
Snoopy and the
Red Baron, Calvin and Hobbs, a
surgical patient,
a picnic basket,
a tree frog, and
Eggplant Parmesan complete
with a plastic
piece of mozzarella and a crazy
Italian cook.
In the spirit
of craziness,
the Costume
held in France. She said the French
took the event as significantly

Concours is returning! This time
we will combine it with another
exceptionally memorable event:
our Father’s Day Pot Luck Picnic
held at THE CASEYS’ home in
Copper Canyon, north of Flower
Mound. While we will picnic eight
days before the official Father’s
Day (due to a conflict with a DE
date), we’ll still do all the traditional fun stuff from the “olden
days”: swim, eat, play games, create
Father’s Day crafts, and have the
Water Balloon Toss! All the details
you need are in the ad by Christy

Tech Corner: Snakebit!
By Ed Mullenix, Tech Session Chair
D
espite
decades
of experience, the use of
genuine Porsche
parts, and the
utmost care, every
once in a while a
project just refuses to cooperate!
I had a 968 in the shop recently to
correct several issues. The power
steering pump had been leaking
for years, as had the oil pan and the
rear crank seal. The rear seal had
been leaking so much that it caused
the rubber drive plate (a Tiptronic
auto trans) to fail due to oil contamination. I pulled the engine out
and replaced the drive plate and
the offending seals and gaskets.
The car had 60K miles, was 18 years
old, and had never had anything
changed but oil and brake pads.
I convinced the car’s owner that a
timing belt might be a wise investment, since it had to be removed
to replace the front crank seal. It
not only needed a belt (the current one had chunks of rubber
coming off) but a tensioner and
all of the idler pulleys as well.
The timing belt of any 928 or
944 variant has a recommended
replacement interval. Not so for
all of the pulleys that spin under
the belt. I have seen “rubber band”
drive engines with catastrophic
failures because the bearing in an
idler or tensioner pulley seized and
caused the recently-replaced timing
belt to break. Whenever I replace
a timing belt on anything, I spin
the pulleys with my fingers. If the
pulley stops spinning after just a
couple of revolutions and the teeth
look ok, it is still serviceable. If the
pulley spins for several seconds,
that is an indication that there is no
longer any grease in the bearing to
slow it down. Those get replaced.
But I digress. The 968 engine gets
reinstalled and running. I still had
an oil drip at the rear crank seal.
It didn’t leak while the engine was
running and it only had a drip or
two that appeared on the bottom
of the pan five minutes after the
engine was switched off. Argh!
A 968 engine is not easy to remove. I decided to pull the trans
and drive tube to access the rear
seal. That too was an exercise
but not as painful as pulling the
engine out again. I removed
the seal and inspected the seal
flange on the crank and the old
seal to see if there was any damage. Nothing that I could see.
Another rear crank seal gets installed. This time I ran the engine
with just the bell housing installed
(the starter mounts on the bell).
Same thing! I removed the seal
again and pondered why it is that
I want to work on cars for a living.
The photo above is of the rear seal
flange and oil pan on the recalcitrant 968. On the 944, the rear
main bearing cap forms the lower
half of the seal mount; the upper
half is on the block. The drain
for the rear seal is on the right
side where the main bearing cap
mounts to the block. Approximately two tablespoons of oil collect in
the area below the drain. That oil
WILL seep out. I have noticed the
same symptom on other 944s but
because of the expense involved
to repair, those owners opted
to ignore the occasional drip.
A new crankshaft would probably
correct the problem but the 968’s
owner would have to sell a kidney
to afford it, so no, we’re not replacing the crank. Time for “Plan B”.
Most other engines have some
kind of oil drain at the bottom of
the seal. Since there are no oil galleys in the rear main bearing cap,
I elected to install a 3mm drain
hole in the main cap at the bottommost point. A 3mm round hole
does not violate the integrity of the
bearing cap and I was careful not
to hit the crank with my drill bit.
Voila! Success. The 968 gets
reassembled and I take it out for a
spin. Hmm, no steering assist; I’m
sure I put fluid in the reservoir.
After a brief description of the
latest misadventure, the owner
confides that he had put an entire can of “Trans-medic” in the
power steering to stop the leak.
I affectionately refer to additives
like the aforementioned as “snakeoil.” Typically they only provide a
temporary repair of whatever issue
they were designed to address.
The can of transmission leak-stop
was intended to be placed into
an automatic transmission that
contains 10-12 quarts of fluid.
The power steering system on a
968 holds maybe 1.5 quarts. The
chemicals in the additive did stop
the steering pump from leaking.
They also swelled the seals in
the proportioning valves in the
steering rack so as to make them
stuck in the bypass position. No
amount of swearing would unstick
the proportioning valves. A power
steering pump on a 968 costs a
little over $500. The $4 can of
additive caused the failure of a
$2000 steering rack and a bunch
of labor to make it all better.
And I thought I was “snakebit”!

Time Trial 1 and Autocross 1 at Mineral Wells
Results compiled by Deane Yamada
The first Time Trial and Autocross events opened the
2012 season in March at Mineral Wells Municipal
Airport, sometimes known as “the MineralRing.” Here
are a few comments from the competitors themselves.
Had a great time at Saturday’s time trial. The
weather was great, the course was fun and the event
was smoothly run. Thanks to everyone who puts
these together. I can’t wait for the next one!
-- Lane Roathe
The Saturday Time Trial was a lot of fun - if you did
not attend, you really missed out. The day started
overcast and comfortable and stayed that way most of
the day. We had a little drizzle in the morning runs
(remember to wash your windows before you go out
on course! I didn’t and could not see the course well
for my first two runs) but that cleared up for the
afternoon runs. We had some new faces and some
familiar ones with new cars. I even got to take some
rides instructing in a Boxster Spyder which was a lot
of fun. Hard to tell from the times but I think I improved my best ever on Course 1 by about a second.
If you missed this one, you should come out for
the next one - Mineral Wells is always a lot of fun. A
large concrete pad with courses which are repeated
year after year where you can compare your times
from event to event to get an idea of improvement with 4 sets of 3 consecutive runs each. Low
cost / high fun, what more can you ask for?

The Time Trial was the best driving event I have
attended, including three or four DEs. Saturday was completely relaxed and was all about a
fun day at the track. I really got a better feel for
my car at the Time Trial and any DE event- I’ll
be back! Thanks again for a great time!
-- Billy Slocum
Sunday’s Autocross was divided almost evenly between
Porsches and Others. And when it turned out that the
Others weren’t enjoying the course as much as they
would have liked (too much shifting, apparently), we
took a vote and decided to redesign the course for
the afternoon! Is that democracy in action or what?
Come on out to the next TT/AX weekend, May 26-27,
to see what it’s all about. Instructors are available to
show you what to do and how to enjoy doing it!

Considering the Parade Concours?
By Hiram Saunders
Editor’s note: Hiram
and Emily Saunders,
long-time Maverick
Region members,
entered their 1995
911 Carrera in
the Preparation
Group (Touring)
at the 2009 Porsche Parade,
and won their class, 1990-1999
911/964/993, on their first attempt.
I
f you are planning to go to
this year’s Porsche Parade, you
should seriously consider entering the Concours d’Elegance. Your
car will love you for it. You will meet
some great people; the Concours is
more about “meet and greet” than
anything else. Go for it! Any late
model car entered in the Touring
category has a good chance of getting a trophy if it is driven to the Parade, as opposed to being trailered.
I have a 1995 Cabriolet with just
over 20K miles, which I entered in
the 2009 Colorado Parade. Yes, it
is pretty good. However, most of
the time that I spent preparing the
car was spent on the wrong things,
and my first-in-class was much
more a function of having driven
it to Keystone than the “perfect”
condition or preparation of my
car. I placed quite a few points
behind an IMMACULATE trailered
Concours-only car and a local car.
But because I drove to Parade,
which by the way is what Porsches
are really all about, the Touring
class points for driving moved me
from third to first in a class of five.
If you carefully clean the compartments and do a thorough paint
clean and wax, you can win with
a daily driver IF you drive the car
there. Salt Lake City is a long way
from the DFW area, and the miles
driven are worth a lot of points.
Most of my preparation time
was spent removing Cosmoline
from barely visible suspension
parts and wheel wells, which it
turned out were not judged in
Touring class. I did spend about
eight hours cleaning the engine
compartment, which I wanted
to do anyway because it was very
dusty after a long detour on a dirt
road during a previous road trip.
It is not necessary to wax wheel
wells or spend any time under the
car. I do wax my wheels because
Photo by Linda Bambina
it is much easier to clean brake
dust from them every time I put
it back under cover. It is also not
necessary to do a lot of Q-tipping.
Probably 50 Q-tips with rubber/
plastic preservative in rubber seal
cracks, dash vents, and a couple
other spots where judges can readily see but not touch is all you need.
Everything else inside is basically a
good overall car cleaning, and application of your choice of leather/
rubber/plastic preservatives could
win. A good weekend of prep
before the Parade and another day
of prep once you arrive could make
you a winner. Joel Nannis did this a
number of years ago and his story
gave me the courage to try it. We
both came home with trophies!
A few paint chips are not a problem, although A DE-sandblasted
front end might be a handicap,
unless you enter one of the Competition car classes. But even if you
do have chips, only one of several
judges can deduct points and then
only for “finish,” so one chip or one
thousand chips do not make much
difference. Anyway, no matter what
you do, the judges will find a few
things for which to deduct points.
They will do this to everybody.
And since you will be driving you
do not need to be concerned about
the space required for the 5 gallon bucket of cloths, cleaners, etc.
you might otherwise wish to take.
There will be several Mavericks
who are driving a larger vehicle
or are trailering a race car and
will happily throw in a package
of things you need to transport
but don’t have the room.
If you are at all interested, give it a
try - you may be pleasantly surprised with the results!

A (Road) Trip to Germany and the Porsche Museum
Article and Photos By Ed Boudreau
Editor’s Note: Maverick Region is currently selling raffle tickets for a sevennight stay for two in Stuttgart, including round-trip airfare, a $500 rental
car allowance, a Porsche Factory Tour,
and admission to the Porsche Museum.
The winning ticket will be drawn on Dec
1 at the Founder’s Day banquet. Here is
a taste of what could be in store for the
lucky winners, graciously provided by
Maverick Region member Ed Boudreau.
be a problem. Signs are in meters
and kilometers (1 meter = approx 1yd; 1 kilometer = approx

terms. We programmed our hotel
into the GPS and took off!
the right except when passing. This
is extremely important as these
vehicles are approaching at high
closing rates so you must check
carefully before pulling out to pass.
The Autobahn is always a divided

two lanes, not always three. This
presents a challenge due to a high
E
ach year my wife and I make
at least one trip to Zurich to
visit our twin granddaughters, our daughter and son-in-law.
This year we decided to combine
our visit with a week-long driving
trip into southern Germany. As a
Porsche owner my interest was a
coveted visit to the Porsche Factory
in Stuttgart, along with a visit to the
museum. My wife’s interest was to
drive the Romantic Road and see
the quaint villages, churches and
castles along the route. We decided
to combine the two in one trip.
First step was to get an invitation
from Porsche to the factory tour.
Your best bet is an early email to
[email protected], which my
daughter and son-in-law handled
for us. Specify that you want an
English language tour and hopefully in a week or so your request
will be granted. The Stuttgart plant
is very compact so tour groups are
necessarily small. Stuttgart builds
the 911, Cayman and Boxster.
If your interest is in the larger
vehicles (Cayenne and Panamera)
you will need to specify the Leipzig
factory in northeast Germany.
Since our tour was for 10 am
we decided to pick our rental
car (Audi A3) in Zurich and
leave for Stuttgart a day early.
The Autobahn
Driving in Germany is very
straightforward and should not

A rare 356A 1500 GS Carrera Speedster on display at the Porsche Museum
My Garmin shows the speed
limit on the screen so it was easy
to stay legal. Germany uses cameras for traffic enforcement and
the drivers are quite obedient.
Imagine my surprise when about
an hour into Germany the speed
limit vanished on the Garmin…
we were on the Autobahn!
The interesting thing about the
no-speed-limit Autobahn is that
it comes and goes, depending on
where you are on the road. As you
enter a city limit area the speed
limit will reappear (typically 120
km/h) and disappear as you move
out into the open road. My 2.0
Audi was no match for the left hand
lane BMWs and Porsches blowing
by at over 230 km/h, so I stayed to
level of truck traffic in the right
hand lane and high speed traffic
to the left…keep your eyes open
and use the signal flashers. We were
not in a huge hurry and wanted
to see the countryside so I kept
the Audi at around 130 km/h.
Stuttgart and Zuffenhausen
We arrived at our hotel in Stuttgart in the early afternoon, Hotel
Wurtz (http://www2.hotel-woertz.
de/index.php). The hotel was
close to the city center and just
a couple of tram stops from the
main “Bahnhof” (train station).
The room included free parking,
internet and breakfast. We found
the staff accommodating and helpful to our interests in Stuttgart. We
purchased a two-day general train
ticket that is only sold through the
hotel (great deal), as we wanted
mobility out to Zuffenhausen and
to the BMW museum the following
day without having to take to the
car. If you stay at the Wurtz, try to
allocate one evening meal at their
very nice restaurant and wine cellar.
The next morning we took the
train out to Zuffenhausen, about
12 km from the city. The train
(S-6) stops right at Porscheplatz
and you simply walk across to the
museum and factory. I am sure you
have seen pictures of the museum,
but to see it up close was really
stunning. We met up with our tour
guide inside the museum, were
issued badges, turned over all our
phones and cameras (security)
and left for a short walk across to
the factory. Finally here…I was
so excited I felt like a kid again!
I could take up this magazine
with details of the tour. A few
of the facts and impressions:
•Allthreemodels(911,Cayman,
and Boxster) are produced on the
same assembly line in two shifts.
•EveryPorscheismadetoorder specification from the buyer
(usually a dealer) with an infinite
number of variations in colors,
models, engines, trim, options,
etc. Identical cars are typically
built only once every 18 months
due to variations in specs.
•Thisisthemostefficientautomobile factory in the world and
once you see it you will believe.
•Everypartforeverycararrives
at the various assembly work stations just as that unique Porsche
arrives at each work station.
•Logisticsareamazingas
trucks arrive day and night to
off load parts into the factory.
Automated wheeled delivery units
move continually along the floor
to the factory assembly stations
A classic example of the 959 “Gruppe B” coupe
delivering parts just in time for
each vehicle at each station.
•Somepartsofthefactorydate
back to pre-war time; however
most of it is new and still being
expanded even as work continues.
•Formetheengineassembly
area and the leather fabrication
areas were the most interesting.
This is not some sanitized
tour behind glass viewing walls.
You are there, walking the factory floor (or above it) among
the workers, the motorized parts
delivery system and all the rest.
A few of things that surprised me:
the beer breaks for workers (talk
about a strong union), the relative quiet throughout the factory,
and an almost total lack of robots
in the process (yes, a Porsche is
still mainly assembled by hand).
All too soon it was time to wrap up
the tour (about two hours total).
The factory tour ended, we collected our phones and cameras,
and began our museum tour. If you
can’t work out a factory tour, the
museum alone is worth the trip.
You will learn the amazing life story
of Ferdinand Porsche from his early
days in Austria to the present day
Porsche SE. While we also toured
the Mercedes Museum, the fact
that the Porsche museum is more
focused on the sports car and has
a relatively shorter history, made
for a more in-depth experience.
Romantic Road
After two nights in Stuttgart, it
was time for us to move down the
road. For us the Romantic Road
began in Wurzburg, a charming
city about 150 km north of Stuttgart. In Wurzburg we toured the
large Residence Palace, completed
in 1744, and had lunch in the
palace café. Later that afternoon
we drove about 70 km south to
Rothenburg, where we spent
two nights at the Hotel Rappen.
Rothenburg is a typical walled city
with at least a day’s worth of charm
and interest for the casual tourist.
The Hotel Rappen was fairly
plain, but the rates were good,
the location was excellent, and it
was just a block from the entrance
to the walled city. One word of
caution: the food in this area can
be a bit similar day after day - bratwurst, schnitzel, etc. That said,
you can always find Italian or a
least pizza for a change of pace.
We found prices for the hotels
and restaurants to be comparable
to the U.S., with the exception of
the exchange rate (1 EUR = 1.31
USD). While in Rothenburg, try
to schedule an evening walk with
the Town Crier (7 Euros) starting
continued on page 18
May 17
continued from page 17
shortly after dark in town center.
After two nights in Rothenburg,
we again headed south along the
Romantic Road toward Augsburg.
Stops along the route included
Dinkelsbuhl, Wallerstein, and
the Hamburg Castle. I can’t go

roads were very good quality, not

Augsburg is an interesting town,
but probably not worth the two
nights we allotted. I can definitely
recommend our hotel, the Dom
Hotel, so named for its proximity to
the Dom (Cathedral) (http://www.
domhotel-augsburg.de/en/homepage). If you stay in Augsburg, two
recommendations for restaurants:
Pastissima for great Italian (http://

tional Bavarian experience (http://
www.ratskeller-augsburg.de).
Leaving Augsburg our last day
we headed for Neuschwanstein
Castle, on which the Disney Castle
was modeled. Near Schloss, this is
the number one tourist attraction
in Germany, so be forewarned.
Because we traveled in the offseason of March, crowds were not
bad, and we enjoyed the 30 minute
tour after only an hour wait.
After the castle tour and a brief
lunch our Romantic Road came
to an end and we headed back
west toward Zurich. Our route
was along the northern foothills
of the Alps, so this was one of
the most enjoyable and scenic
afternoons of the entire trip.
Unfortunately we had to deal with
Zurich traffic at the end of the day.

our route, just email me at

Happy Driving!

“The technicians don’t just
know my car, they know me.”
I’ve been a big fan of Park Place Dealerships for years, and I’ve bought from them multiple
times. So when it came time for my third, a 2010 Carrera C4S, purchasing from Park Place
Porsche was a no-brainer.
It’s an extraordinary car, but I didn’t realize just how extraordinary it was until I watched
Porsche hand-assemble it at the factory in Europe. I was so impressed, I purchased my
Cayman S the very next year. And Park Place made it possible.
Whether it’s sales, service or parts, Park Place really makes you feel like you’re
getting the best. Everyone there bends over backward to help me equip my car for Driver
Education and PCA events, and that just goes to show how much they value ongoing
customer relationships.
I know the Park Place Porsche Team on a first-name basis, and they know me. More
importantly, they know my car. That’s what the Park Place ownership experience is all about.

Cliff ’s Ramblings: Mentors
By Cliff Blackshear
T
his September will
mark my
40th year working
professionally on
Porsches at the
dealer level. It
is a benchmark
that I have thought about for some
time. Wondering if I should go
for 50 years. I so enjoy what I do.
It is just something I am pondering. What I do has never stopped
being stimulating. Porsche owners,
Porsche technicians, and Porsche
engineers are such interesting
people. The cars are amazing.
I have been thinking about all the
people that have influenced and
helped me be a better technician.
Decided to tell stories here and in
future issues about people I have
known that had an impact on me
and how I behave as a Porsche
workshop repair professional.
Neil Storgard hired me at Green
Oaks Porsche+Audi in 1972. He
was the service manager. I cannot
find any information on Neil now.
He drove a Cortina at the time and
lamented that racing was not as
cool in the 70s as it was 10-20 years
prior. He simply encouraged me
to do what I liked doing. I liked
him immensely and his enthusiasm
was infectious. I found myself
always looking to him for advice.
Ed Mayo was the lead Porsche
tech at Green Oaks at the time
when Neil hired me, and I was in
awe of Ed’s talents. He took me for
a ride in a 356 Super 90 one day
and executed a beautiful heel/toe
downshift to first gear while cranking in huge steering input to take a
90 degree right turn. At that time,
he had no idea I had spent a lot of
my early drivers license time in a
356 practicing just such maneuvers.
I washed brake parts from a 356
20
for him my first day there. Then
adjusted the valves on a Karmann
Ghia that had been traded in. That
first day in a Porsche dealership as
a new hire for repairs, on all that
came in, was magical to me. It was
precisely what I wanted to do.
In 1974 I was young and felt
adventurous. My wife of two years
was on the same page with me.
We had no children and were not
ready for children at that time. We
wanted to experience mountain
life. I applied for and took a job
in Boulder, Colorado at a dealer
that was new and considered to be
something of an experiment. It
was a small town but it was packed
with educated people and a large
college. Boulder cannot grow due
to greenbelt boundaries north and
south of city limits, foothills too
rugged for expansion to the west,
and industry to the east. Our dealer
started in an old Pep Boys building
downtown on Pearl Street. It was so
fun and amazing to just be there.
Our first child was born in Boulder
on May 29, 1975. It was snowing
while the sun was shining, moments
after her birth. A moment permanently burned into my memory.
I went there and had recently
trained on CIS 911s. The 914s
were selling like hotcakes as
well as the new 911s. Had training on Bosch injection for
914s and that was about it.
Suddenly I had to learn how
to make the cars work in an
environment with crazy altitude
changes. Set the car for 5400
feet in Boulder and owner drives
home where it is 7000 feet. Or
drives home to 5000 feet. Most of
these cars had carburetors - dual
downdraft 3-barrels. Plus CIS cars
were being sold at a rapid pace
and we were learning them on
the fly. Then there were the 914s.
MPC injection and AFC injection. I could write a novel here.
Turns out, lots of people from
round the world loved the Boulder area. It had a climate much
like the homeland of Europe, so
the city enticed many to move
to that location. Adolf Stammler
owned the dealership. Wolfgang
Dahlem was his service manager
and my immediate boss.
Wolfie was very German and
became a dear friend. He and his
wife had moved to Colorado from
Egypt. He told me stories of being
an aircraft mechanic there, working
on Egyptian MIGs. He indicated
that the build quality of the planes
was just awful. Rivets that stuck out
1mm high on wing surfaces, etc.
Wolfgang loved diving in the
Red Sea when living in Egypt.
He made an underwater camera
setup himself. Used a pressure
cooker and mounted the camera
inside. Showed me many pictures
from his adventurous dives. Also
talked a lot about driving in the
desert in a DKW and stumbling
upon many mummified wrapped
bodies. Sand shifted around and
they simply were uncovered on the
desert floor. He passed away some
years ago. I miss him immensely.
Many foreigners came through
and worked there during my 9-½
years in Colorado. Germans, Austrians, Brits, and one from Australia;
it was interesting to say the least.
Oh yeah, and one Japanese guy
there who was quite talented.
Another person that stood out
for me was from Manitou Springs
Colorado, Lynn Henningsen.
He was pushing 40 years old at
that time and seemed ancient to
me. He taught me everything I

What better evening could a guy

know to this day when it comes to
being a pure, hands-on guy. His
parents owned a wrecking yard
in Manitou and it had become
his property/business as they had
passed away. Yet he worked in
Boulder as a favor to Wolfgang
to help get the dealer going.
Lynn had mad skills. He would
leave every year for one month
and go work the Baja 1000 with a
team. Always came back with some
crazy stories to tell. He also did the
Pikes Peak Hill climb with a team
every year. More crazy stories.
Technically (and I know this
sounds nuts), he taught me how
to better interpret the feel of a
car. To find its soul. To simply get
in and drive it and feel how it has
been treated and cared for. What
it is crying out for. Very difficult
to explain. But he knew. And
I learned with time. He taught
me to study the owner of the car
and to understand their personal
expectations of a Porsche. Then
how to meld that owner with what a
Porsche could do to meet what they
wanted. Again a difficult thing to
explain. Yet they are things I have
tried to do to the best of my ability
through the years. It is my passion.
His mechanical skills were amazing. How to weld a metal fuel tank
rupture? No problem. Start a car,
run a hose from its exhaust pipe
into the filler neck of the tank
to be welded. Get all the oxygen
out of the inside and go to work.
Your Porsche deserves a new home!
Let me help you find one… .
