PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
A Walk Down
Technology Lane
Welcome to 2015. Can you believe
how fast 2014 slipped past us? Of
course, this time of year many of us are
executing our New Year’s resolutions,
hopefully made early in the evening
(I always find those made later in the
evening are more challenging). This
year will be no different; we are all
going to receive or give gifts which
have some form of technology. Today,
at our DEC2014 final AutoX for 2014
(thanks Walters for your continued
sponsorship and AutoWerkes for the
DEC event sponsorship) we all listened
to Tom Riddings literally launch his
2015 GT3 off of the starting line, not
concerned about tire spin, shifting at
the first cone, nothing. When it was my
turn in the 93 RSA, I was concentrating
on the right amount of clutch /
accelerator, what the best time was to
shift from first to second, before the
first turn, after the first turn, and oh by
the way trying to hit my line properly.
We are talking about just a bit over 20
years, wow how things have changed.
Thank you, Tom, for the inspiration for
this month’s President’s message -- A
walk down Technology Lane.
As a past Chief Information Officer and
soon to be Chief Sciences Officer, the
use of technology has been part of my
professional life for many years. The
approach for this article was to come
up with common things that we all do
which have changed right before our
eyes, mostly over the last couple of
decades …
Videos were not
common
Sure, we had movies, even short
films, common vehicles in capturing
motion and sound. Then, out of the
blue (and as many of us will remember
popularized by MTV on AUG 01, 1981
with the song, “Video killed the radio
star.” 24 hours of video viewing is
uploaded every minute on YouTube and
15 billion videos appear online EVERY
MONTH! Come on, get outside and
exercise!
Phone numbers
Remember when you hoped that
common phone numbers would not
include 00000’s that forced you to dial
the digit almost all the way around
the rotary phone, over and over again
(twist, release, twist, release, etc.)
Asking for advice
If the internet went down forever
tomorrow, would teenagers be able to
answer any questions? Hmmm, think
about that one for a minute.
Seeking information
about, well anything
Come on, admit it, you are out to dinner
having a conversation and a question
is asked, what do you do? Of course,
look it up on the internet. Google alone
handles ~6 billion requests every day.
Show me the money
You stopped by the bank, visited
the teller and planned your weekend
(actually before the weekend), because
if you ran out of cash, well, you were
done until Monday.
Call me…
What percent of time do you use your
“cell phone” for actually talking? (91%
of US adults own a mobile phone) For
most smartphones, it is well under
20%. Also, for those of you who
had the VERY expensive, two pound
Motorola DynaTAC 8000X mobile
phone, you were a real trend setter back
in 1983 (just 31 years ago).
How waiting has changed
Standing in line for a plane, train or
automobile would include observing
your surroundings and even striking up
conversations with others in line. Now
standing in a queue involves mostly
seeing the tops of people’s heads as
they are all looking down at some
device.
What it meant to “like”
someone
Spend time with someone and over time
you would start to like one another.
Now this universal word applies to
just about anything, even sad notes
on social sites that are “liked” as you
awkwardly attempt to offer support.
Natural motion (or not)
revealed
Many of you have or will receive some
form of exercise band. These bands
are great at telling you things about
yourself. For instance, today at the
DEC07 AutoX I did 17,134 steps, 8.50
miles and burned 3171 calories. Last
night after sleeping 6h38m, I woke up
9 times. Remember the good old days
when you were just either rested or
tired when you woke up?
As technology continues to impact
our lives we will all learn to adjust our
approaches; however, let’s not forget
the moment we are in, right now. I
wish you all an exciting and prosperous
2015 and looking forward to seeing you
at our PCA/OCR events (you can find
me with the smartphone and tablet).
Happy New Year!

EDITOR’S NOTES
Garey Cooper
are built very strongly and will perform
well for many years.
Cooper’s Rock
Look, Up in the air!
So, rather ironically, I am writing this
month’s editorial at about 35,000 feet
over America. I say “ironically” as
in the past several years before my
retirement, this was a more or less
standard thing for me to do. But having
traveled cross-country for a special
holiday visit with my son’s family in
Long Island, magazine timing means
the airborne approach is the right one
to use.
Given the vagaries of publishing
deadlines, I am writing this story before
Christmas. So I can say at this stage
of my trip to New York, it is a good
way to put one in a wintry mood and a
Christmas frame of mind at the same
time. Of course, when you read this
Christmas will have passed and I do
indeed hope that your personal Santa
or his helper was considerate and that
you were on the right list for the right
reasons.
Porsche Dreaming
I am frequently drawn into
conversations with people over the right
kind of Porsche to buy and I enjoy these
times to be a consultant to fulfilling
someone’s dream car buy. Quite often,
these are first-time buyers and therefore
the advice is more pertinent. I realize
that if I get it right for that person I may
have recruited not only another devotee
but a friend as well.
I usually tell the person that, if they
have the money, to buy the NEW one
but be wary of the option list. A Porsche
option list is a thing to behold. Do
you want leather trim under any little
spot your gaze might land? It can be
done, for a price. Just know that those
dollars add up very quickly and that
your fetish for animal skin may have no
respect in the aftermarket. Most of the
time a bunch of doodads, gimcracks,
and a touch of tomfoolery will in no
way change the base value of your car
which is, and always will be, a Porsche
of a certain year and model. Indeed
that mauve leather special upholstery
might even detract from the car’s resale
audience.
I do tell many Porsche dreamers to start
with a second-hand version. Porsches
And I am conscious that many firsttime Porsche buyers are responding
to a dream rather than the reality of
experience. For some, the trip from a
modern sedan with uber comfort to a
Porsche sports car with stiff springs,
more intrusive road noise, and ignition
key to the left, may be a voyage a little
further than they had planned to make.
To this end, I’ve even suggested to
some to try to rent one for a week or
borrow one for a day. If a well-tuned
motor sounds symphonic to you, the
road noise is more feedback for a great
drive than irritation, and interference
on the cell phone, then you may be a
candidate. But never be afraid to ask
someone who owns one and get some
advice along the way.
Who needs a driver?
I have just seen an article that a
Volkswagen (or Audi) has “done”
the Nurburgring autonomously. And
that is the north ring at that. Quite
an accomplishment, and it advances
the autonomous vehicle much further
through the maturity cycle than I had
known possible. What we can say for
certain is that the technology exists.
What probably remains to be cleared
lies more in the area of governmental
authorization and the vigorous/rigorous
permitting and admitting before we
look over and see someone napping
in the next lane on the way to work.
But it is coming. I am not sure how
you feel about it, but it does scare me.
I’ve always had that cussed streak of
independence that makes me want to
control my own destiny, not have a
robot or a series of sensors, servos, and
computers do it for me.

Book Review
Porsche 917: Zuffenhausen’s Le Mans and Can-Am
Champion
Review by Bruce Herrington
Book by Karl Ludvigsen
Published by Iconografix, Hudson, WI
This book is part of the Ludvigsen
Library Series. Only the introduction
is pure text, the remainder of the
book is page after page of full-page
photographs and illustrations, with
comprehensive and informative
captions, averaging over 50 words
each. Some photographs showing
different drivers at the same corner
seem repetitive, but all in all, this is
the most comprehensive collection of
917 pictures of which this reviewer is
aware.
Ludvigsen’s introduction provides a
concise summary of Porsche’s Le Mans
involvement, starting in 1951 with a
1.1 Liter Gmünd Aluminum Coupe.
Successes continued through the 908
of 1968. In March 1969, the 917 was
introduced at the Geneva Auto Show.
The fantastic success of the 917 in
Europe, both by the Wyer team and
by Porsche (Salzburg), and in the US
by Penske/Donahue, is summarized
in the introduction. Ludvigsen’s text
also makes clear what a gamble it
was for Ferdinand Piëch to pursue the
design and production of the 917 on an
expedited basis, basically building 25
examples of a very expensive design
without first building a test car to verify
that the design was good.
The 917 was designed (and promoted)
by Ferry Porsche’s ambitious nephew
Ferdinand Piëch. It was to blaze new
territory for Porsche, being its first
5-liter, 12-cylinder engine. It was
intended to restore Porsche’s honor,
tarnished by losses to the Ford GT-40
in 1966 and ‘67, and to compete with a
rumored 5 Liter car from Ferrari.
Unfortunately, though the design of
the 917 was an evolution from earlier
cars, notably the 908, the massive (for
Porsche) engine required a revolution
in structural design, resulting in an
extensive series of modifications to
each of the 25 cars, before a 917 was
able to achieve its first win, some
four months after the 1969 LeMans.
PORSCHE 917 describes how it was
only in the transition of the 917 racing
program to John Wyer’s operation,
that it became clear that the bulk of
the 917’s handling problems were due
to aerodynamic issues, not chassis/
suspension characteristics.
Several pages show engineering
drawings of the engine, illustrating the
unique configuration with no direct
drive from either end of the crank.
Many pictures, snapshots really, show
rarely seen faces of many famous
Porsche staffers.
Also pictured are intimate details of
piston/cylinders, complex camshaft
gear train, and crankshaft, as well as
brake rotors, induction piping and
other details of engine installation.
Two pictures even illustrate the drastic
increase in the size of the ducting for
driver cooling, effected between the
1969 initial design and the 1970 raceworn configuration. Less attention
is paid to suspension components,
which were more closely allied to
configuration of street 911s.
Many photos show the evolution of
aerodynamic details of the bodywork.
Interestingly, the CanAm 917/10 had
downforce features raising the drag
coefficient to 0.67; but having up to 800
hp in a car lighter than a 75 hp 356A
Speedster, must have provided a real
challenge in keeping the tires on the
17” wide rear wheels in proper contact
with the pavement.
No book will make you an instant
expert on the 917-- it’s design,
development and competition history
-- better than will PORSCHE 917. It
contains 126, 8½ x 10 inch pages,
including over 100 full page pictures.
It should be available for $36.95 from

Porsches... Are they really that
good?
Story by Greg Noss, Photos by Greg Noss and Mike Knudsen
Greg Noss at speed on the Autocross Track
“Are you just obsessed with Porsches,
or are they really that good?”
The date was October 17, 2014 and that
was the question I got from my friend,
Justin. I smiled and replied, “Yes they
are really THAT good!” His skepticism
resounded in the series of questions that
followed. Fortunately, he had signed
up to run his three-month old Subaru
WRX STI in the Autocross Series on
the 19th of October.
After a couple practice runs in my ’08
Cayman S, we got out of my car and
he said, “I see why you like Porsches
so much, these cars are legit.” He was
convinced. By the end of the day he
was looking for a Porsche to buy.
Everyone of us has a story about where
our journey on the path to owning a
Porsche began. Mine was a bit more
exciting, and a bit more challenging
because I am the devout skeptic and
“the analyst.” My story began with
my two friends--Dan and Alan--both
of whom are avid Porsche enthusiasts.
I, like Justin, was skeptical of their
fanatical claims about Porsche. In an
effort to sway my opinion, Dan took
me for my first real ride in a Porsche,
a 2005 Black Carrera GT. Needless to
say I was impressed (that is quite the
understatement). That car was way
above my pay grade and the skeptic in
me doubted that the same kind of World
Class Supercar Performance would
exist in the rest of their lineup.
Shortly after that ride, Dan invited
me to take a trip to the Porsche Sport
Driving School in Birmingham,
Alabama. There my question was
answered. Every car we drove over
those two days from the Boxster, to
the Panamera, to the 911 Turbo firmly
established what my two friends had
been telling me all along. Porsches
Really are that good!
From that point on, I have become the
penultimate sports car enthusiast. I
will drive anything (like I stole it!)
that anyone will give me the keys
to… I have driven Ferrari 458s,
Lamborghinis, Audis, Bentley GTs,
Maseratis, every Jaguar in their current
lineup, and almost all of the current
Porsches. As the measuring stick,
they all get compared to the Porsches
because “They really are that good.”
Greg Noss’ 2008 Cayman S
Some cars are good at this, or this
aspect is really nice, or something else.
There has not been a single car that can
compete with what Porsches offer as a
whole-- the styling, comfort, handling,
the steering precision, the braking.
Some of these things are very tangible
and easy to grasp. Some things like the
brakes are harder to figure out. When
my friends ride in my car they almost
all comment on how well the brakes
work, and the ones who have driven my
car can tell there is something different,
but they are not sure why. Some of
us know, but for everyone else it is
the engineering, the details that goes
into every Porsche that rolls out of the
factory. It is this precision in every
detail that makes the sum greater than
the whole.
It’s probably a joke with my family
to see how long it takes for me to
start talking about Porsches with
anyone new we meet. Eventually the
conversation turns to that question in
one form or another. So now I say,
“Let me take you for a ride or better
yet sign up your car for an Autocross,
then I’ll take you for a real ride.“ After
a ride in a Porsche, it cannot be denied
how good they are!
Oh, if you are wondering about the
brakes, find me at the autocross and
I’ll tell you why they are so good. An
engineer from Porsche told me their
secret.

Porsche Roadshow
Story and Photos by Jim Thomas
Porsche Road Show Hospitality Tent at Fontana
Depending on who or what
organization’s stats you want to believe,
only around 1% of Porsche owners
participate in track events, although the
number probably seems higher to active
members of PCA.
capabilities of select Porsche models
in two controlled settings under the
guidance of professional drivers. It is,
in short, a chance to test drive a Porsche
that could never happen at a dealership.
Very few Porsche owners ever get to
drive even approaching the limits their
cars were engineered to achieve.
It’s a fantastic selling tool for Porsche
and its retailers to get the prospects into
the store and to keep current owners
coming back.
I was lucky enough to participate in
the just completed Porsche Roadshow
at Fontana Raceway. The Roadshow
gives current owners and prospects
the opportunity to experience the
Two courses are used; the first is a
slalom course using a straight away
to experience maximum acceleration
to a hard brake, and hard right and
a modified “S” to demonstrate the
handling capabilities of each car. In
this course we drove a Panamera GTS
and Turbo Macan from a standing start.
It went like this; put the right pedal to
the floor and then nail the brakes after
about 1/8th of mile, accelerate out of
the turn and into the “S”. For those
of us with driving experience, hitting
90 on the straight in the Panamera
was possible. I should mention in our
group it was 50/50 Porsche owners
and those prospects driving another
brand. Everyone in our group had the
opportunity to drive both cars more
than once and the word of the day
was “impressive.” This was my first
opportunity to really drive a Macan and
the word is “impressive.” Like many
of us I am “aging” and, while I have
always loved every 911 I have owned,
ingress and egress from my Carrera S
is not what it once was. Years of sports
(and racing) are starting to catch up
with me and the Macan S is starting
to look really good; it is what Porsche
intended, a 911 in “Crossover” clothes.
Driving the Macan hard will make
anyone a believer.
The next course was, as I heard more
than one participant exclaim, “Over the
top.” It was on the infield road course
with some slight modifications. The
cars were lined up with an instructor
in a Boxster GTS leading a Boxster
GTS, Cayman GTS and a Targa 4S…
yes that is correct, we were abusing
two brand new Targas. The course
was spectacular in its design --, short

guided each driver via one way radio

drivers had a great time. So what’s the

the Cayman GTS is just amazing. The
balance, handling, control, just the
overall feel of the car coupled with
the power gives it a slight edge over
the Targa and the Boxster GTS in
my opinion. All of these cars were
equipped with PDK and when driven in
Sport Plus mode made for an exciting
experience. Even the pro drivers
admitted they have never beaten a PDK
with a manual transmission Porsche.
The final experience for the participants
was a drive with one of the pro drivers
in a Turbo. The drive was videoed from
inside the cockpit and given to each
participant on a memory stick. Porsche
provided five turbos, all in white and
it was a thrill ride even for jaded old
racers like me. In that straight away I
mentioned my driver hit 138.

looked none the worse for wear.
The first time we heard the line,
Porsche, nothing else comes close,
was in the movie Risky Business (the
movie that made Tom Cruise). After
experiencing the Porsche Roadshow,
those words and that sentiment have
never been truer.

Rice’s Ramblings
Story and Photos by Lee Rice
The 40th Anniversary for the 930 Turbo
starts now, so I have license to ramble
a bit more on this fantastic Porsche.
But, to kick off some 40th Anniversary
Ramblings, let’s begin with some
technical bits for 930s, 911s, and many
others.
Cleaning Light Assembles
I have dim and not very bright
Tail/Brake lights. And one brake light
was reported to NOT work when
I used the brakes?
The cast ‘pot metal’ rear light assembly
on 1969-1989 911s is prone to be dim
and hard to see mostly over time from
a bad lens seal. This happens from
deterioration due to water, moisture,
and dirt getting into it. The lens cover
SEALS can deteriorate in a few years,
which will then let dust and dirt get
inside the light assembly. A caution in
removing the lens: The seal between
the lens and the light assembly sticks
to the delicate (& expensive) Lens.
Remove it slowly and very carefully.
Dirt and grit found inside these light
assemblies should be removed very
carefully. Wiping dirt off will scratch
and dull the bright reflective surface!
I use a spray bottle with just water
and spray it into the lamp and wet the
chrome reflective surfaces and try to
wash out the grime and dirt. Then I use
a soft cloth or cotton to GENTLY blot
and then carefully wipe the reflective
surfaces.
to brighten the contacts and wipe
them clean, then apply a light smear
of dielectric paste on the bulb and
contacts.
I found the intermittent brake light to
be the driving/brake bulb’s electrical
plate with two metal contacts having
pushed off the pot metal socket. This
happens when one pushes the bulb into
the light socket too hard as the bulb
can only be installed ONE WAY; it is
often installed the wrong way, and if
one pushes inward, too hard, it breaks
or pushes the bulb contact plate out and
away from the light socket. I’ve done
it too! Fortunately I reinstalled the
light contact plate and gently tapped
the pot metal socket back down around
the contact plate. I also marked the
lower light housing with as felt marker
to show the correct bulb installation
position. Wished I thought of that
earlier!
1979 930 turbo
After some instrument work I started
having the engine not shut off after
running. I shut the ignition key off
and out of the ignition switch and
the engine kept running! I finally
unplugged the Fuel Pump Relay(s) and
the engine quit and all power was then
off.
I reinstalled the Fuel Pump Relays
and restarted the engine. It ran fine
but when I turned the key off it kept
running, again. I turned the lights on
and the engine died and power was off.
The DELAYED IGNITION CUT-OFF
DIODE was found to be missing. My
thought was, what is this diode and why
does the engine still run when I turn it
off?
When the 1977 930 turbo came out
it had an upgrade that carried on
through to the 1989 Turbo (later the
turbocharged engine incorporated it
into their e.c.u.) This upgrade is an
IGNITION DELAY REALY system
and the introduction for it is found
in the 1977 930 Service Information
and is also found in the 930 Turbo
Maintenance Manual (TURBO WSM,
28 - 13).
It describes a delay relay that keeps
battery power on to the Ignition CDI
after the Ignition key is turned off (for
3 to 5 seconds) (This burns residual
fuel from the Fuel Distributor, lines,
and injectors to prevent a white smoke
cloud on start up). And a diode to
prevent voltage feedback and continued
running…
The problem is with the engine still
The plastic lens can be cleaned with
warm water and dish soap. Don’t use
cleaners other than dish detergent--even
Windex® leaves a film and that clouds
the lens over time.
Check the bulb glass and the electrical
contacts for corrosion, then the lamp
assembly contact strips for cleanliness.
I use very fine black oxide sand paper
Old Diode
running, the fan-alternator is still
turning and the alternator is still making
electrical power through the blue wire
to the warning light and that voltage
goes through the alternator warning
bulb and on to the instrument power
(red/black) wire. That allows enough
power to run the fuel pumps--so it just
keeps on running!
The Solution is the DIODE placed on
the Alternator Warning Lamp Socket
and the other end connected to the red/
black wire (instrument 12V power).
Porsche now has a new, much smaller
diode than the original cigar long one
used in 1977.
CIS Fuel Injection Issues
Encountering an odd starting problem
the obvious was missed for a while?
During a normal cold morning start,
on a typical 911/930 Turbo, the key is
twisted over to ON, then START, and
the engine instantly fires up; and this
is repeated every day. Particularly
annoying is the 1-2 seconds of no oil
pressure flowing to the engine parts!
A “normal start” is: turning the key
to ON, then START -and you get 3-4
seconds of cranking as residual fuel
pressure builds up enough to open the
fuel nozzles, and while doing so, allows
oil pressure to build and flow to the
internals. Just that small 3-4 seconds
makes a difference in reliability.
Also annoying was the warm restart:
Typically it was after 2–4 hour parking.
You drove somewhere, stopped for
four hours or so, then tried to start the
engine. The starter just cranks and
cranks, but no fire. It got to be that
you had to hold you accelerator pedal
halfway down to get the engine to start.
After checking many things like the
COLD START SWITCH and Cold
START NOZZLE, IGNITION COIL,
CDI BOX, and the voltage supply
tested, (where all tested excellent),
Then a recheck of all fuel injectors was
done.
I used a hand pressure pump I made and
tested the injectors as per maintenance
manual testing procedure.
The Fuel Injectors had been checked
twice before, and the fuel patterns
were OK. The blow-off pressures
were OK and the leak test was within
the specifications. Now I tested them
again and they again looked OK. Not
great, but not bad either. All Fuel
injectors leak down tests were done as
prescribed and no leaks were observed
within the allotted time check. So the
Fuel Injectors should be considered
acceptable, as they have been for a
while?
However, before ordering all new Fuel
Injectors (think $800), and with nothing
to lose, I tried an old trick using shop
air pressure of 125 PSI filtered air. I
mixed up some hardware store safety
solvent mixed with Techron®, put
some in a squirt bottle and filled up
each Fuel Injector, took it outside the
shop, away from anything electrical or
any heat source, and blew it out with
a rubber tipped air nozzle. That made
quite a large blast of flammable mist! I
also took all my used or suspect Fuel
Injectors and repeated this process and
then retested all of them.
light-off, start, and idle. The idle was
smoother and the cold engine ran
smoother. Power runs were normal. I
also observed a good Air/Fuel Ratio at
idle, cruise, and on boost.
On the 2nd “acid test”-- the warm
restart was made without touching the
accelerator (per pr owners’ manual) and
the engine fired within 2 seconds and
ran evenly on all cylinders. You won’t
see it in a Porsche manual, but a good
blast of air or nitrogen can clear some
foreign matter from a troublesome Fuel
Injector. I have had MFI, early large
CIS and small CIS nozzles fail in all
kinds of manner. Most failures are from
a bad spray pattern, streaking, or will
not hold pressure at all and some that
will not blow-off at all. This overnight
partial leak down was however, a new
one for me!
Spray patterns should have as fine of
a mist as possible. A perfect pattern
looks like a 360° spray of dry powder.
Rarely does any CIS nozzle do this.
Most CIS Injectors have at least a 270°
spray pattern that widens outward about
2-3 inches in diameter, evenly, all the
What I found from the 14 injectors I
tested was six Injectors that tested with
an improved, fine, spray pattern and all
within a few PSI “blow-off” pressure of
each other. None leaked.
After installing six of the highest blowoff pressure tested injectors (all with
new copper o-rings and purging air out
of the system), I started the engine and
all cylinders ran evenly and a test drive
was OK, No problems. The “acid test”
would come after a night’s cold soak
and cold start.
The next day’s cold start was different.
At START: I had a nice four seconds
of cranking and then an excellent
CIS Fuel Injections
way around, at about 3-4 inches away
from the injector tip. You do not want a
narrow, tight pattern (less than 1½ inch
in diameter) or an intermittent wide
pattern, or an off to one side pattern.
NO streaking allowed! Streaking is a
small solid stream of fuel within the
spray pattern. It will not burn well, if
at all, especially at idle and low power.
Sometimes you can drive with one this
way for a while. Sometimes it can be
blown out with a good “blast of air.”
Streaking injectors usually have a low
blow-off pressure as well and the leak
pressure check is suspect as well. It is
also common for streaking injectors to
have a dead cylinder sound in a running
engine –especially when cold. It will
missfire until the engine warms enough
to burn the bad over rich streak of fuel.
Low blow-off pressure fuel injectors
(usually) have a wet, heavy spray. This
is mostly from a worn out injector. It
will run, but not tune well.
The “Blow-Off” Test
The CIS Fuel Nozzles are specified to
blow-off between 2.5-3.6 BAR
(25–32 psi). ~(Werk Shop Manual 930,
1976 section 2 2.1-1/5 thru /8)
The Leak Test
Nozzles are tested by increasing
pressure, slowly, to 0.5 BAR less
than the Blow-Off Pressure and hold
that pressure for 15 seconds-without
leaking. A partial or slow leaking Fuel
Injector leaks its residual pressure fuel
into the intake port and into the cylinder
and vaporizes. Then next morning the
engine cranks and instantly ignites the
rich fuel vapor in that cylinder. If an
injector only leaks part way down, the
engine may run evenly on all cylinders.
It just fires instantly (too soon).
A fuel injector that leaks all of its fuel
out will start slower –taking a second
or two longer to fire, but will have a
distinctive dead cylinder, misfire until
that injector can fill with fuel and purge
all the air out.

EDITOR’S NOTES CONTINUED FOM PAGE 7
I have just ridden in a friend’s car with
an automatic lane departure warning.
That is if your ham fisted attempts
to stay properly within your lane,
or demon rum fuels an inadequate
automotive roadway discipline, a
beeper goes off ever more stridently
with ever more errant direction. Just
add a few hydraulic arms controlling
steering linkage and you are there.
Now I will not name this car except to
say it rhymes with “Euripides.” Okay,
I will tell you; it’s a Mercedes. I used
the name as obscure allusion to Greek
playwrights, and it is probably not the
thing to do in a car magazine.

MISCELLANEOUS
HELP FIND MY ’87 911
WIDEBODY—A WARNING TO
PCA MEMEBERS TOO:
My name is Dennis Donsker, long
time PCA member and I own a rare
1987 911 Wide Body Cabriolet, Black/
Black lthr/Black top. 79K miles. VIN:
WP0EB0917HS170089. A warning to
PCA members and request to help me
find my car. My 911 was locked in my
garage while I was out of town. It was
a targeted model. The thieves broke
in and stole it without arousing the
neighbors within the last few weeks.
Please provide any information to
me about the whereabouts of this car.
