Toy number one awaits the same fate as soon as salt hits the pavement. With the onset of winter…there’s just not a great deal of motor-head and social things to talk about – except the Holiday Party, February 12th 2011. I know I sound like the proverbial broken record, but I’m really excited about the prospects for this party to be a great time and certainly something to look forward to in the dead of winter. Managerial Musings • Club elections draw to a close on Tuesday, December 7th; please cast your vote for new officers. • Also, remember the Annual General Meeting will be held December 7th at Karl’s Cabin in Plymouth and we’d like a solid turn out of Club members. • Lastly, the next edition of the Bahn Stormer won’t come out until late February as a combined January/February issue. Events A very special thanks to Stewart and Sally Free for their contribution to the Club through participation and leadership by chairing the Events Committee. During their tenure the number, quality and participation of Club events increased dramatically. Now it’s time for you folks to enjoy the events as participants…. Nora and Dave Cooper have volunteered to take Stewart and Sally’s place as the committee chair – thanks and we look forward to next year’s events. Yet another “thank-you” goes out to Yoram Guy who volunteered to host the November 26th drive to the Traverse City area for the Great Macaroni & Cheese Bake Off and wine tasting sponsored by the Wineries of the Old Mission Peninsula. Six of us have signed up for this; we’ll report in late February. Special Thanks Al Gaulin has been the Club Insurance Chair for quite some time. The position is far from glamorous – so you rarely hear his name mentioned in the newsletter. But, in my opinion, this position is essential for the Club to operate. Every event the Club sponsors must have a corresponding certificate of insurance…think about it for a moment…. Between track and social…that’s close to twenty events per year. It’s a lot of work. I’m recognizing Al for two reasons; one, for tirelessly attending to this mundane detail in quiet competence; and, two, for being a gentleman in accepting my request to step aside from the position. Okay, so the next question is why the request to step aside… the answer lies in the fact that it makes sense to have this function fall on the shoulders of Board Member Michael Kimber. Insurance matters closely parallel legal matters and Michael is an attorney – so it makes good sense to have Michael take on the dual responsibilities of legal advisor to the Club as well as Insurance Chairperson…. Al, thanks for years of outstanding service to the Club. It’s Great to be the King I’ve always maintained if we won the lottery I’d buy a combine – it’s just a Jim thing, but how totally cool to live every guy’s dream to play farmer. Well…after years of needless thinking on the matter the voices finally spoke to me…. They told me, using my best yuppie-speak, to leverage my position as el President and lobby for a test drive on one of these little beasties under the guise of a comparison between a Porsche, 996-GT3 and an International Harvester 5088 I did! So, in the issues to follow through April I’ll be writing my thoughts comparing the two – I promise some seriously good amusement. Just to wet your whistle – the iH costs slightly more than a GT2 or twice as much as a GT3....

Photos courtesy of Ben Colman Photographs. See page 21 for more information on this talented photographer. For those who do not know about PCPS you have been missing an opportunity to participate in a multimake, “run what you’ve brung” driving event. The home base for the PCPS is the Ypsilanti Warehouse. This building is Bill Milliken’s wonderful vehicle storage and gathering place. It The Mammels in their “other car” has some bays availenjoyed the drive. able to do anything from minor mechanicals to full restoration work on your beloved project. It also has a waiting list for available spots. The best part is the first Saturday of every month the Warehouse is open to anyone who wants to stop by and join the other enthusiasts in checking out the cars. During this time they pull back all the car covers so you will not miss a single classic. The Warehouse participants form the core of the PCPS. They organize a Spring and Fall driving event, which comprises of registration around a continental breakfast, and a drive to a unique gearhead location where a terrific catered lunch is served. This year’s Fall Tour started out at the Warehouse with the drive terminating at Kalitta Air at Willow Run Airport. During the drive portion we were interweaved with the full range of automotive collector vehicles from a Model A Ford & Willys Knight to a DeTomaso Mangusta & Maserati Ghibli. One lesson learned from the old children’s fable of the Hare & the Tortoise. No matter how many cars you would pass and how fast you could run in the clear and through the twisties, the traffic was a great equalizer. After a good run you would get caught up in slower local cars and next thing you know there is a 1930 Model A in your mirror. Slow and steady etc.etc. There were several 911’s on the run including a 3800 mile 78 SC that was painted in British Racing Green. The car looked great in BRG. The temperature was pretty cool but there were many examples of true sportsmen with their tops down, Big Healey, Jaguar 120 and a TR3 to name a few. Overall you never know what you might see on these drives and you are assured to meet some wonderful people. The downside is this event sold out early, as most do, which meant some people who wanted to were not able to participate in this wonderful gathering. Upon our arrival at Kalitta Air’s Willowrun facility were we greeted by a chef prepared catered lunch in one of the freight hangers. Surrounded by jet engines and air cargo, it doesn’t get much better than that! While dining we were treated to a presentation of the freight operations by the Director of Safety & Flight Standards, Heath Nicholl. Besides the obvious worldwide freight movements one part of the talk brought some strong emotions to the group when Heath brought up a powerpoint presentation where they show Kalitta’s 747’s flying mail to the troops in Middle East. They are one of the few non military aircraft flying into the war zone on weekly mail runs. After lunch came the gearhead portion of the tour. Connie Kalitta aka “The Bounty Hunter” is an icon of American drag racing. He raced for 40 years, won 10 NHRA national events, was the first to hit 200 mph and gave Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney a start that took her to be one of the winningest female drivers of all time. The Kalitta race operations are no longer based at this facility. The highlight of the tour as we were walked through flight operations was a chance to go inside both of their 747 flight simulators as well watch them in action from the outside. Aircraft or an interest in flight not required. For a car guy and An AMC Marlin in among non- gearhead alike, the Porsches this was awesome. To top it off one of the door prizes was two hours of training in one. Disappointingly I did not win. (Continued on Page 21) 9 Evolution of the Porsche 356, a Spotter’s Guide -- Part 1 Story and Photos by RSR Member Sebastian Gaeta This series is not meant to be a historical overview of the Porsche factory. Rather, it is a way for those not familiar with 356s to look quickly at a car and be able to decipher which model and year range it is. That is not to say, however, that we won’t discuss a bit of history where it helps to understand why things were done a certain way on a particular model. Front and rear bumpers are called “body bumpers” as they fasten directly to the car and appear to be part of the body. This made for a beautiful design that went unchanged until two years into the Stuttgart days. Also take note that the rest of the auto industry “discovered” this design starting around the late ‘80s! Let’s start with the earliest cars, the Gmünd built “prototypes”. These 50 some odd cars were literally hand built in a Gmünd, Austria sawmill in 1948 and 1949 where the Porsche firm had moved during the war. The all-aluminum bodies were hand beaten over wooden bucks by master craftsmen like Friederich Weber, who was known to go on a days-long drinking binge after completion of a body! Wheels were body colored, non-vented VW 16” x 3.25” with baby moon hubcaps. The gorgeous lines were designed by Erwin Komenda, and the early cars were some of the most aerodynamic ever built by Porsche. The first thing you notice is a two piece, split front windshield. That feature remained on the Stuttgart cars up until the ’51 model year. To distinguish the Gmünd cars from the later steel bodied Stuttgart cars, look to the front of the side windows. If you see a curved glass front quarter window, then it is a Gmünd built car. If not, then it is a later car. You’ll notice that the body is virtually devoid of decorative trim. The exception is on the front of the car. Believe it or not, that trim on the front nose panel is from commercial busses of the era! The hood sports the early Porsche script that was moved to the nose on Stuttgart cars, and above that is a trim piece that resembles a hood handle, but is flat. Two VW headlamps adorn the front but no turn signals are present. Semaphores are placed just forward of both doors to handle that important duty. This is another quick way to spot a Gmünd vs an early Stuttgart built car: the later cars have two “beehive” turnsignals below the headlamp buckets, so if you see a split windshield and front turnsignals, it is not a Gmünd. 10 Under the hood is the fuel tank and spare tire. The placement of the tank remained unchanged from this configuration until model year ‘62, but when Stuttgart cars went into production, the spare tire sat more vertically in the battery box area, while the Gmünd’s spare was placed flat in the luggage area of the trunk. The rear decklid has one air intake grill, something that did not change on production cars until the ’60 model year. The rear brake lights are single “beehives” and the curved rocker panels without trim are a trait that lasts up until the A series for model year ’56. The transmission is a “crashbox’ VW four speed and the engine is VW based as well, with an 1100cc displacement. The differences between the stock VW and the Porsche units were massaged heads, larger valves and dual carbs that produced 44hp, up from the VW’s 25hp which gave it a top speed of 140kph. Exhaust was a single pipe “pea-shooter”. The interior was spartan, but very nicely trimmed and finished. A beautiful large diameter banjo wheel provided the driver a stylish way to motivate the car through the turns. Only two gauges were present-a speedometer and an oil temperature gauge. That’s right, no tachometer; back then a Porsche driver knew when to shift by the sound of the engine! Note the location of the ignition switch to the right of the steering wheel. This moved to the left of the wheel on most later cars, which prompted the sentiment that Porsche put the switch to the left for the “Le Mans”start, allowing the driver to handle the shift lever at the same time as starting the car. That would make sense if not for the fact that Porsche’s sportiest models (Speedster, Roadster, Spyder) had the switch to the right. A bench seat and non padded and painted dashboard finish out the details. The success of these cars gave the Porsche firm the impetus to move back to Stuttgart and become a full fledged manufacturer. The steel bodied Stuttgart cars differed greatly from the Gmünd cars, and next time we will study those differences.

Everyone was allowed to enter either plane and go up to the flight deck. The B17 was the big hit since you were able to see the guns, ball turret and go by the bomb bay. Many thoughts went to what those young pilots had to endure in the tight cold spaces of the bomber and just how vulnerable they were to fighter attacks. Not lost on many was the fact it was not an easy plane to bail out of either. All in all this was a great drive with a fabulous destination.
