Porsche recommends
Test the Cayenne and the very notion
of what a hybrid can be.
Your first thought behind the wheel of the new Cayenne S Hybrid may very well be a
question: “How on Earth can this be a hybrid?” The answer is hybrid technology, the
Porsche way. Honed on the track by revolutionary race cars like the 911 GT3 R Hybrid,
yet translated to the road. The Cayenne S Hybrid is the epitome of the Porsche Intelligent
Performance philosophy “more from less.” Come in for a test drive and find all the
answers on the road. Just like we did. Porsche. There is no substitute.
Experience the new Cayenne S Hybrid.

I
t feels like that time of year is
fast approaching. The time
where the days get a bit shorter,
the mornings are a bit colder, the air
feels a bit crisper and the trees start
to shed needles or turn colors. Yes,
it feels like Autumn is around the
corner. Autumn is a great time to
get out and experience a drive with
the club. The cars (especially the
air cooled versions) really like the
cooler weather and just seem to run
better. With Autumn driving also
come some fabulous INWR PCA
events, with my personal favorite
being our Oktoberfest gathering
in Leavenworth, WA. If you have
not been to Leavenworth for our
Oktoberfest you should think about
joining us. It is the event at which
we do the least amount of driving,
and the most socializing and
spending time with other INWR
PCA members. If you have not
been to any INWR PCA event this
year please think about joining
us for something, before that first
frost creeps up on all of us and the
Porsche (sports cars) are relegated
to slumber in the garages.

Op-Ed
Opinions and Editorials
From the Editor
I
find that much pleasure in
life can come from taking
unexpected opportunities. Case
in point: on our return trip from the
recent Can-Am Tour, Keith Martin
had us make a little detour through
the town of Metaline Falls. If we
had not done this at this particular
time of day, we would have missed
out on a tour of the Cutter Theatre
located in the heart of this charming
town. When we stopped in front
of the building, the theatre director
Susan Hobbs saw all of our Porsches
lined up outside and came out to
see what was going on. She knows
Keith and invited us all in for a tour.
It is a remarkable and well-restored
buiding and one of the treasures
of the Inland Northwest. It is well
worth an intentional visit.
You might never know where that
side trip might take you, but if you
have the time, do take it!
Tschüs!
Linda Polgar, Editor
INWR
The Results Are In
Many of you may know that there
is a contest every year for the best
PCA newsletter. Each newsletter
is judged against others in its
regional class based on membership
numbers. The results are announced
at Porsche Parade. Some of you
know I entered our little publication
this year.
The results are in and I must admit
I did not place well in our class.
We weren’t dead last, mind you! I
received with the results the judges’
comment sheets and, at first, I
resolved to take their suggestions
into consideration to try and place
better in the contest. Overall,
though, the comments had more to
do with some stylistic paragraphical
matters, photo captions (and the
lack thereof), and a few things
we’ve already repaired by going to
an online format.
This being said; however, I am first
and foremost YOUR editor. I will
not suddenly change the overall
style of this publication just so I can
win a contest. When I announced
at the July Membership Meeting
about the results and my desire to
do better, Kelly Dionne approached
me after the meeting and let me
know that when he was the editor
(how many of you know that?), he
knew about the rigors of entering
the contest and decided instead to
design the newsletter to be a source
of information, reporting, and
entertainment for the INWR. He
has me convinced: I will continue
this.
I suppose what I am saying is that
I will continue the style of this
newsletter with a few improvements
here and there like more captions
with photographs in the articles (I’ll
attempt this with the next issue).
From the feedback I receive from
many of you, I get the feeling you
like what I’m doing.
Thank you!! That means more to me
than the (well-meaning) comments
of five people I may never meet.
Linda Polgar, your good-intentioned

ell, we did it again!
We created a spectacle.
With anywhere from eleven to
twenty-two Porsches in one place at
any one time, we were destined to
do just that.
On June 24th through June 26th,
2011, it was my distinct honor to
be the official Tour Observer for the
2011 Can-Am Tour involving cars
and guests from six PCA regions,
including three region presidents.
The planning, the scenery, the
commeraderie, and the driving were
all wonderful.
Back to our spectacle. Here’s a
synopsis of our vehicles:
4 Boxsters
1 Cayman
1 honored 356 Cab
1 brand, spanking new Panamera
1 944 turbo
14 911’s of various package,
including a noted twin turbo...see
Megan Sweeney’s article.

Comments lip read or overheard:
•From one driver we passed while
leaving Creston, B.C.: “What the
[rhymes with Duck]??!!!!”
•From an appreciative observer
passing through the parking lot at
the Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort:
“There must be about a Million
Dollars worth of Porsches parked
here!” (The photo below was taken
from the roof of the Ainsworth)
•We even attracted the attention of
a worker at the Boundary Dam near
Metaline Falls, WA, who actually
called the visitor center phone while
we were there. He wanted to know
where we were all from and thought
it was pretty neat we’d stopped at
his Dam to have a look. “Thanks
for stopping!” he said. I think we
gave him bragging rights among his
coworkers.
•Vancouver Island, president Gary
Glover
•Wild Rose (Calgary, Alberta)
What a great group of people!
Easily befriended and entertaining
conversationalists. You know how
we all are!!
Oh, and the scenery and driving!
British Columbia will continue to be
one of my favorite places on earth.
To actually be in the driver’s seat
this time was an experience without
equal. Boxsters love curves.
While I was a small part of the
“team” who made this all happen,
so much of the thanks must go to
our Tourmeister Keith Martin and
wife Lena and to Keith’s resourceful
partner-in-planning Rick Jordan.

there’s enough boating, hiking,

Article and photos
by Megan Sweeney
irst off, I wanted to say thank
you to each and every Club
member I’ve gotten to meet
and talk to over the past few months.
You’re all fantastic, with some very
gorgeous cars, and I can’t wait to
actually officially join the Club. For
now, however, you have to put up
with me being unofficial. :-)
I was asked to do a little piece for the
newsletter, and of course the focus
of the entire drive for me was the
New Denver loop drive. I was able
to ride in an absolutely beautiful 996
Turbo; it was a dream come true. I
have loved the Porsche 911 for quite
a few years now, perhaps not as many
as some but I completely love them
nonetheless. My personal favorite
has always been the 911 Turbo – to
me, it wouldn’t get any better than
having that gorgeous 911 body and
that iconic flat six with the bonus of
boost. I have talked about getting
one someday myself for the past
few years, as an eventual second or
third 911. (I mean, I do need to get
my first yet here!)
When I was told I should come on
the trip, I had no idea what a treat
I was in for. I wish I could find the
right words to describe that ride,
but even now it escapes me. One
of my favorite noises while driving
a turbo car is listening to the turbo
spool and I love the feeling when
you hit boost. I really enjoy driving
my 240sx as I love the peppy and
quick turbo engine. The 911 Turbo,
however, is completely different.
She’s nice and refined under normal
September - October 2011
driving, just like any other 911. But
when the gas pedal is well used, she
becomes something else. There’s
still the hiss from the turbos, and
still the feeling of hitting boost. But
it’s more. There wasn’t anything I
could do but giggle to myself and
grin like a fool, and watch all the
trees and street signs flash past.
The only way I’ve come up to
describe it is that if I wasn’t sure I
wanted to get a 911 Turbo one day,
I know now that I absolutely have
to have one. It is the most amazing
car I’ve ever had the privilege of
riding in, and I am lucky enough to
have years ahead of me to fulfill this
dream and longing of owning one
myself.
Once again, I want to thank everyone
for being so incredibly nice to me.
I feel very lucky and blessed to
be able to share the love of these
fantastic cars with you all. And, if
it wasn’t obvious before, I want to
let you know that I love each one
of your cars nearly as much as you
do. :-)
INWR
Of course, I still need to get that
first Porsche…. And I have my
sights set on a 911 of some sort.
But after a trip like that, I know it’s
the right choice. Eventually I will
be an owner myself, not just an
enthusiast.

356 Drive
356 Drive to Thompson Summit
O
n a beautiful Sunday
morning of July 10th, an
adventuresome group of
356 owners, friends and spouses,
left Hayden, Idaho, for a wonderful
drive in their early year Porsches.
Eight 356’s ranging from 1958
to 1965, coupes, cabriolets, and a
roadster drove out interstate 90 to the
Rose Lake turn off, to have a hearty

It was a picture perfect morning,
bright sun, blue skies and mild
temperature, so all the open cars
had gone topless. What a beautiful
sight they were, all in a long line
and getting lots of admiring looks
and thumbs up. We drove along
the Coeur d’ Alene river which was
running very full after all the long
winter snows and spring rains. We
made our way up the road that goes
to Murray and on up to the crest of
the mountain where there is a good
turnout and view point before it heads
on down and into Montana. After
a nice break we headed back down
the hill to the tiny town of Murray,
and to the Spragpole Bar and Steak
House to purchase refreshments,

its mining communities,
and it is open free to

all agreed it was a nice outing
for us and our wonderful old
cars. Those participating in the

hirty four members and

was stunningly beautiful with
80 degree F temperatures and
cloudless skies. The picture is

along the Coeur D’Alene river North
to Prichard, ID, the group headed
East and climbed some fabulous
mountainside roads to the top of
Thompson Pass which straddles
Idaho and Montana and is at an
elevation of 6814 feet. After a brief
stop at the top of the pass (as shown
in the photo from Klaus Huschke)
the group continued Eastward into
Thompson Falls Montana for some
walking through town and a stop
for lunch. Another great drive in

SOVREN Event on October 1-2, 2011
Maryhill Hill Climb
Visit http://www.sovren.org/events/events-6/ for more details
From the Maryhill Museum site:
Constructed from 1909 to 1913 by Samuel Hill (1857–1931), founder of Maryhill Museum of Art,
Maryhill Loops Road is located off Washington Scenic Route 14 just east of U.S. 97. As the first macadam
asphalt-paved road in the Pacific Northwest, it served as the only road between the Columbia River and
Goldendale, Washington prior to the construction of U.S. 97. The historic Maryhill Loops was a part of a
larger road that encompassed several miles over which seven different experimental roads were constructed.
The road itself ascends 850 feet in a series of curves with a gradient of ascent at 5%. In 1998, a 3.6
mile section of the road was completely refurbished and received the Outstanding Project of Historical
Significance Award from the American Public Works Association, Washington State Chapter. It consists of
25 curves, 8 of which are hairpins.
Event in November. One for the Record Books!!
Hello Inland Northwest PCA members,
My name is Mitchel DeFrancis, I’m a current & active Peachstate PCA member, multiple Porsche and other exotic car
owner. I am organizing and planning an event in November that I think you would be interested in attending. My event
is The Mille 2011 and is a one day Porsche extravaganza at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, GA on November 5th
2011. There will be a World Record Attempt at the largest parade of Porsche cars ever. After the record parade, there
will be a Porsche Concours d’elegance, Porsche Autocross, Porsche Track Lapping and a Porsche Swap Meet going on.
We will be filling the race track bumper to bumper with Porsche for aerial photos. Porsche race cars are allowed on the
street for the parade! We are also celebrating the world of the Porsche Aftermarket!
Please help us get the word out about this event. We are trying to have the largest parade of Porsche cars in the world.
We are expecting over 1,000 Porsches and approximately 4-5,000 attendees. I’d love to invite you all to attend and bring
your car(s)! We are aware of several caravans of Porsches coming from all over the country to this event!!
Do you think your region can post a Mille 2011 article or event info on regional website and your local newsletter? I
need all the help I can to bring that world record to the USA. All PCA members are encouraged to attend. We are looking
for event sponsors too!
Please review my website www.TheMille.com hope to hear from you soon!

2011 Bogus Basin Bacchanalia
NEW DATES!!: September 9-11 in Idaho
The Silver Sage Region will again host the Bogus Basin Bacchanalia (BBB)
weekend that includes PCA’s only hillcross. BBB is a multi-region event
first held in 1976 that includes the hillcross, a mystery event, and a golf
outing on September 9-11, 2011.
The BBB weekend starts with registration and a get-acquainted dinner on
Friday evening in the Pioneer Lodge at the Bogus Basin ski area, 16 miles
north of Boise, Idaho. Saturday and Sunday are dedicated to the hillcross,
where you can drive your Porsche as it was meant to be driven: safe, fast
and on a beautiful stretch of winding mountain road. The course is nearly
two miles long and features six tight turns and over 500 feet of elevation
gain. For the second year, we have two days on the Hill. If you want to be
challenged by the BBB hillcross, be sure to register early since the number
of entrants in the hillcross is limited. Saturday ends with dinner and
partying in the lodge. Sunday’s final event is the awards banquet, at which
trophies will be handed out. Sometime during the weekend, a mystery
event will take place. Since it’s a mystery, that’s all you get to know for
now. Finally, on Monday there’s a golf outing for those so inclined at one of
Boise’s better courses.
You can learn more about BBB and get an application form by visiting the
Silver Sage Region’s web site, ss.pca.org. Information is also available from

lots of opportunities to
relax and enjoy the magic
Rennsport Reunion IV
Will Feature Porsche Park
W
ith the rolling landscape and park benches
on a perfectly-groomed lawn, you might
think you were in Bavaria, which is exactly
what Porsche Cars North America intends
with its Porsche Park-in-the-Paddock—located
amongst the vintage race cars at Mazda Raceway
Laguna Seca for Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV,
October 14-16. This area, located behind the media
center (where the tire companies usually set up for
a race weekend), will feature an authentic German
biergarten as well as German food and and a park
atmosphere so Rennsport attendees can take a break
from the on-track activity and absorb the experience.
But Rennsport fans will still know that they are at a
Porsche event, as the Park-in-the-Paddock will have
plenty of sports car activity as well, according to
Bernd Harling, Porsche’s Principal Communications
Counsel and coordinator for Rennsport.
“Besides the food and drink, our Park-in-the-Paddock will include a center stage where driver introductions and all the autograph sessions will take place and
live music will be played, as well as the very popular
model car display, photo opportunities with the CARS
movie star Sally Carrera—maybe our most famous
911—and a Porsche Sport Driving School activity center,” said Harling.
“We also hope to have a sneak showing of a future
Porsche model in the Park, but it’s a little too early to
be able to confirm its appearance,” Harling teased.
Other activities around the paddock are taking
shape as well for the October event. “Porsche Motorsports North America, headquartered in Santa Ana,
will have a display not only to show its modern and
vintage race car parts and service capabilities, but
to encourage the many Porsche race car owners to
take advantage of the company’s free technical advice
offered to anyone who asks,” said Harling.
With the Porsche 911 being the featured race car
of Rennsport IV, fans will also be able to view two 911
September - October 2011
displays which help capture the history of this iconic
sports car. The first is a special collection of the most
significant 15 race cars in 911 history. The other 911
display is being assembled by the Porsche Club of
America, and proved to be very popular at Porsche
Rennsport III at Daytona in 2007. In order to show
the progression of the Porsche 911 model, the club
has assembled 40 examples representing significant
models across time.
PCA will assist Rennsport Reunion IV with several activities: History of the Porsche 911 Display,
Porsche Model-Specific Parking Corrals with Parade
laps of the track, PCA Hospitality and Membership
Center, two race groups: Rennsport Reunion Cup
for Porsche Cup Cars and PCA Club Racing for PCA
race cars, and PCA Volunteer Pool—workers to assist
with the club’s involvement. Enhancing the Rennsport Reunion Cup race, Michelin Tire Company
comes on board as the spec tire manufacturer for that
exciting contest.
The assembly of exceptional examples of 911
production models for the History of the Porsche 911
Display is well underway, representing the 911 model
throughout its generational life. To apply to participate in the display, please contact Tom Provasi for
information and registration at tprovasi@netgate.

with our activities at the Rennsport Reunion IV. If you

the Annual Porsche Drive out to
Priest Lake, the day began with
a ‘Show and Shine Instruction
Session’ at Porsche of Spokane in
preparation for our 1st Annual Show
and Shine function in Pomeroy, WA,
September 17th, 2011. For more
information on this event, should

please, contact Mark Jennings and/

But, not enough yet: The day
closed with the ‘Cops & Kids
Show’ in downtown Spokane.
This event started at 7:00 pm and
was to close at 11:00 pm. Six (6)
Porsches turned out along with
several other members that brought
different types of cars and family.
Those of us who attended, and that
included Dave Cooley, our PCA
Zone 6 representative, President
Matt, Bernie Korth, Joe White,
Barry Anderson, Rick Jordan,
and myself, decided to leave a bit
September - October 2011
earlier – or should I say late enough
considering that our Porsche day
started somewhere in the vicinity of
7:00 am.
The official Priest Lake Drive
couldn’t have started any better
than it did. Those of you who
couldn’t make it, didn’t only miss
another wonderful drive, you, yes
you do read correctly, missed one of
the finest breakfasts you probably
ever had. The Porsche of Spokane
breakfast buffet didn’t only look
like one from the better hotels along
the Champs-Élysées, the food /the
quality of it was just exceptional.
No, I am not exaggerating. Many,
many thanks to Klaus Kindor (the
new Porsche Sales Manager) and
Porsche of Spokane. Nobody could
have asked for a more exciting
start.

40 Porsches would certainly look,

the cars into three (3) groups made

Team I, followed by Team II under
the most capable guidance of Linda
Polgar some 10 minutes later. Matt,
after assuring that nobody was left
behind, took on Team III. Each
squad opted for a different route on
how to get to Hill’s Resort at Priest
Lake. We all made it and without
an accident.
As in years past, seeing 30 to 40
Porsches parked on the lawn in front
of Hill’s Resort has always been
a special experience for the many
guests at and around this incredibly
captivating and charming place.
Never short on different Porsche
models on our drives out to Priest
Lake, the two Panameras this year
got some special attention.
As lunch was served, President
Matt, after welcoming all of us,
especially our guest of honor, Dave
Cooley, Zone 6 PCA representative,
introduced us then to Teri of the Hill
family who own and operate Hill’s
Resort. Teri was kind enough to tell
us a bit about the past and present of

Teri to select all winning raffle

prize, a stay and dinner at Hill’s

After lunch, it was time to take a
swim in the lake. Bruce Hunt, never
missing an opportunity for some
exercise, had tested the temperature

and how right he was. Those of

he expression, “Everyone
loves a Parade,” was true
for those of us attending the
56th Porsche Parade in Savannah,
GA. Parade is a wonderful way
to connect with Porsche friends
from around the world, as well as
participate in enjoyable activities,
and excellent meals.
Savannah is a beautiful old
city, established as a colony on
Savannah’s waterfront in 1733. The
riverfront has played an important
part in Georgia’s history as colonial
port, exporter of cotton, or tourist

destination. The last riverfront
cotton office closed in 1956, and the
revitalization of the waterfront area
began in 1977. The Westin Hotel
and Convention Center, two of the
sites for the Parade, are located on
Hutchison Island, across the narrow
shipping channel that leads to
Savannah Harbor. Huge freighters
laden with containers passed close
to the convention center frequently.
I arrived an hour and a half prior
to the start of Registration on
Sunday, and found my friend,
Susan Brown, Parade Registrar,
stayed there the entire afternoon.
It was one of those perfect sunny

then introduced us to onsite chef
Jared McElroy, who demonstrated
how to make Caramel Key Lime
Flan. While we were eating the
delicious flan, I asked Jared what
the basic steps to becoming a good
home cook might be. Without
skipping a beat he responded that
mastering salt and pepper is the
key to success. He suggested that
we make soup from scratch without

salt, and then add a teaspoon of salt
at a time to determine the amount
required. Both Lee and Jared said
that a properly prepared meal would
not need additional flavoring at the
table. I guess that is about as basic
as it gets.
That night, the Rally Banquet
included a Casino Night for the first
time. Attendees were given slips of
paper worth twenty-five thousand
dollars, and after dinner had the
opportunity to make bets on a wide
variety of games. Any money
retained at the end of the gaming
session could be traded for raffle
tickets. It was a fun-filled evening.
I put all of my winnings in the “all

did most everyone else. You might
guess that since I’m writing this

the cars undergoing restoration
in some detail. When the groups
switched, we found Race Director
Skip Schinsing in the race shop,
who gave us a fine presentation
on the current Brumos Porsche
GT3 RSR racecar, which is having
great success this season. Don
Leatherwood then led us into the
Brumos Museum. This was a special
privilege for PCA members, as fewer
than five thousand people have
been allowed to see the impressive
Brumos collection. (See the May
issue of Panorama for photos and
details about the collection.) Don
had an amazing knowledge of each
of the many cars on display.

to hear my name called for a free

Now I’m awake at night weighing
fun vs. expense of buying a trailer,
hauling my Porsche across country
and spending a day at the track. For
a track junkie, decisions like this are
not easy, even if they don’t pencil
out financially. Next came the long
awaited awarding of the beautifully
restored 1973 911T raffle car. The
actual people who restored the car
from Porsche Classic were on hand
to turn over the key to the “betterthan-new” 911 to raffle winner,
Bud Kibbee, who was attending
his first Parade. The ceremony was
thrilling to see. After having so
much fun seeing so many friends
and participating in a number of
events, concluding the Parade made
me eager for the next one. I hope to
see you at the Parade in Salt Lake

The Dreaded CEL
H
Article written and graphics submitted
by Pedro P. Bonilla, GCR PCA
Reprinted with permission
ave you ever had the Check Engine Light (CEL) come on in your car?
If it has, it’s actually the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) which lets you know that
there’s a problem in the engine management system.
Whenever I’m servicing a Porsche and see the MIL on, it bothers me a little bit that the symbol
is of a small block V8 and not of a beautiful flat 6 from a GT3.
The automotive monitoring system was developed by CARB (California Air Resource Board)
and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) in an effort to reduce vehicle emissions, beginning in 1988.
It was called the OBD-I (On Board Diagnostic, generation 1). The system mandated by CARB, had to illuminate
a “check engine” light to notify the driver that there was a potential failure in an emission’s component and the
system also had to store a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) in memory. The regulations for OBD-I were very
easy for manufacturers to comply with, since they were already monitoring most of these systems, but each
manufacturer monitored in their own way.
Because of inconsistencies in the DTCs as well as in the data connectors from manufacturer to manufacturer and
the inability of OBD-I to detect emissions system degradation, a new monitoring system went into effect in 1996,
the OBD-II. It should have been in 1994, but it got delayed 2 years.
Below you can see the original Porsche OBD-I connector (round) which is found on the 964s and early 993s as
well as on the later 944s and 928s and on all of the 968s. The more trapezoid connector on the right, is the OBDII found in all Porsches after model year 1996.
This newer version of On Board Diagnostics is much
more sophisticated than it’s predecessor, and aside
from doing all that the OBD-I did, it also added the
ECM (Electronic Control Module) which controls the
operation and performance of the vehicle’s subsystems.
OBD-II now monitors:
ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)
IAT Sensor (Intake Air Temperature Sensor)
IAC Valve (Idle Air Control Valve)
BARO Sensor (Barometric Pressure Sensor)
TP Sensor (Throttle Position Sensor)
ECM / PCM (Engine Control Module / Powertrain
Control Module)
The specific ways in which the manufacturers had to
comply with the regulations was not specified and each
manufacturer made their own interpretations. For instance, the regulations state that a car has to monitor engine
misfires, but doesn’t specify how, therefore some manufacturers look at O2 sensor waveforms, others look at
crankshaft fluctuation and still others look at the current in the secondary ignition system.
September - October 2011

PedrosGarage
Needless to say that OBD-II is a very complicated but very useful system which alerts the driver and the technician
of possible engine malfunctions.
The OBD-II is capable of generating two different types of diagnostic codes:
“Generic” codes that are the same for all makes and models of vehicles (required by law) and ...
“OEM” codes that are unique to specific vehicle manufacturers.
The OEM codes cover non-emission related failures such as ABS, HVAC, Airbag, Electrical, etc.
The generic codes can be can be read using a basic code reader or scan tool that is OBD-II compliant and usually
cost less than $100 at any auto parts store. More and more car enthusiasts are adding an OBD-II code reader to
their tool case to help them diagnose simple failures.
Because of the myriad of sensors and readings, a “Check Engine Light” or “Malfunction Indicator Light” can be
triggered by something as simple as a loose gas or oil cap, since the system is also monitoring vacuum levels.
So an OBD-II scan tool can pay for itself if it helps you to discover something like this, saving you a trip to the
repair shop.
But, when the system failure is more complex, you will need to have a much more powerful tool that is capable of
accessing all of the codes, as well as almost every component in the vehicle such as those found at the dealerships
and independent repair facilities.
The one shown here, the PST-II (Porsche System Tester-II) was the second generation tester from Porsche,
which recently introduced the PIWIS (Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System) as the latest in Porsche
diagnostic tools.
September - October 2011
Über Alles
30
PedrosGarage
The screen on the PST-II which can be seen below, corresponds to the same error code (P054) as shown above on
the handheld scanner, but as you can see, there is much more information and accessible data on the specialized
factory scanning system which help to find and correct failures much more quickly.
What the CEL should mean to you is:
If you see the CEL / MIL on, continuously, it’s telling you that the system found a malfunction in it’s monitoring.
You should have the error code(s) read as soon as possible and perform corrective services
If you see the CEL / MIL flashing, it’s telling you that the engine is misfiring and damage to the engine is possible
if it keeps running. Shut it off and contact a qualified tech or have it flat-bedded to a shop / dealership.
The CEL / MIL can turn itself off when the monitoring system determines that the trigger is no longer present,
such as tightening the gas cap.

Vice President’s report:
Encouraged all to participate in
the INWR Festival of Speed this
coming weekend. (After the Chee
Chee’s drive of course!) There
will be a mixed car corral this time.
Pretty much any really nice car can
participate in the corral. There will
also be 3 laps behind a pace car on
both days as during the SOVREN
event. This is fun, especially if
you’ve never been on the track.
Secretary’s report: Requests that
word gets out sooner about the
SOVREN races and the FoS so as
to have more participation from
other clubs. We had excellent
support from the Porsche club but
it was light from the other local
clubs.

10:30AM.
The Lighthouse for the Blind event
was very successful. A couple of
glitches along the way but as an
event it was great. And, the club
raised about $1,000 for the charity.
Interesting and amazing stories
were shared by all. The club was
pleased to be a part of the event
and plan to participate next year as
well.
The CanAm tour: 6 clubs and 3
region presidents. Matt Gerber
said it was the most fun he has had
at any event, period! Wow! What
did we miss? The web site has
great pictures but you just had to be
there. Keith did an awesome job!
Thank you.
Car D’Lane: Lots of great cars but
unfortunately it rained copiously.
Bad luck, maybe better next year.
NEW BUSINESS:
German car show put on by the
BMW Club at Comstock Park last
week. It was a neat small event
with a great group of car nuts. We
Thompson Falls: July 23rd. The
road is clear. Several members
have driven the road in the past 2
weeks. The consensus was that
the west side was excellent but the
east side was mildly rough. Matt
reported that the drive is on but
they will take it easy on the east
side. The weather should be great.
Remember the Pomeroy Show
and Shine on Sept 17th. It will
coincide with the Garfield county
fair and rodeo. The show is
Porsche/VW specific and will be
held in the city park in downtown
Pomeroy. Come out and enjoy the
hospitality of Garfield County and
the city of Pomeroy. Show off your
car, and, don’t forget the barrel
racing. If you play your cards right
you might get invited to drive your
Porsche around the barrels instead
of a horse!
Stump the Chump: Oops. Just
chumps.

Oh yeah, it was good.
