President’s Message
by Gordon Williams
To all our members and associates,
Wow, what exciting months January and
February have been. We had the Zone
Presidents meeting in mid January where
I learned that your region, OCR, is the
most active region out of the 13 that are
contained within the zone geographic.
I also learned that our membership is
increasing while the Zone overall was at
a slight decrease. I wonder if this might
be due to the fact that we are the most
active, hmmm.
We had the launch of the new 991
with personal invites from our sponsors
to attend and drive these incredible new
machines. Membership definitely has
its privileges.
We completed the 2012 Tour
Committee planning meeting and have
picked all the tours for the remainder of
the year. They will be on our calendar
by the end of the month, if not before.
The Getty Museum, Yosemite (2013),
Coronado and a special Christmas treat,
just to name a few.
We have scheduled a new venue
for our concours, Shady Canyon Golf
Course, exclusivity at its most opulent.
This will be not only a premier concours
event, but it will be scheduled to start a
bit later in the day in order to facilitate
having a family BBQ in the late
MARCH 2011
afternoon. Enter as a park-n-play and
bring the whole family!
We will have many more great
ideas as the year progresses. It’s a
great time to be a member of OCR!
Remember to take advantage of all of
the discounts your OCR membership
provides and I’ll see you at one of
our events!
Also remember to say “Thank
you” to one of our volunteers!
Sincerely,
Your friend and fellow enthusiast,
Gordon

Editor’s Notes
Story by Garey Cooper
Garey & Maxine enjoy the view
The OCR tower lights blaze well into the
night. Speeding cars along the freeway
below, when spared the time for a
glance, can only look up to see the club
leadership deep in thought on another
mission. Fun for the members. That’s our
mission and avocation, to make every
weekend a vacation for members of the
Orange Coast Region of the Porsche
Club of America.
As I write this, I am just coming
from a wonderful Porsche weekend. On
Friday evening Maxine and I were guests
of Circle Porsche where we were invited
to an intimate group viewing the new
911, the 991 series chassis version. At
this event we saw several familiar Zone
8, and Orange Coast Region compatriots.
Walking in the door, the first person I
saw was Michael Dolphin. Michael is a
great guy to spend a few moments with
and he was a great way to ease into the
evening. Michael is also a music nerd,
as well as being a Porsche nerd, and we
had fun talking about Etta James and
other singers like Anita O’day. It was a
thrill to know that Michael actually had
a connection to Ms. James, but ask him
any question about music, he’s my “go
to” guy.
Also at the evening event were
Lisa Goetsch and Bob Schuessler. Bob
deserves a lot of the credit for keeping
our relations with the dealers in sound
condition. He has been the face of OCR
with our vital and contributing local
dealerships and done quite well with
the task. I also ran into Mark and Tina
Trewartha of Autobahn Adventures. Mrs.
Cooper and I are signed up this year for
the trip in September where we will be
driving the new 991 and, needless to say,
we are thrilled at the prospect. Michelle
Larsson of Circle was a marvelous host
along with the General Manager Tom
Croxton. The personnel of the dealership
all took a moment to go through some of
the salient characteristics of the new car,
highlighting various aspects of the new
generation 911. The dealership had put
together a timeline of 911 development
beginning with the early “long hood”
911s all the way through the latest 997
versions. It was interesting to see this
development of the cars across the
decades. The King is dead; long live the
king.
The King is Dead, Long Live the King
A while back I had the pleasure to
drive an early 70s Carerra. It brought
home to me the evolution in motorcars,
even with Porsche. In the great timeline

You Can’t Always Believe What You Read
Story by Paul Kramer of AutoKennel
Paul Kramer of AutoKennel
I remember hearing a story by comedian
Steven Wright. In a deadpan voice he
said, “I was just driving along when a cop
pulled me over. So, I asked the officer if
there was a problem. The officer asked
if I saw the stop sign a mile back. I said
sure. He asked why I didn’t stop. I told
him that you can’t believe everything you
read.” This sums up how I feel about the
Internet. The Internet is a great tool…
possibly the greatest invention of our
time. However, it is certainly not the
gospel.
The Internet is a resource that
we can use to help us find a car, fix it
and connect with other enthusiasts.
However, the ease of access to the
Internet means that we need to heed that
age-old saying: “take it with a grain of
salt”. Keep in mind that it’s easy for
a person to pontificate about any issue
when he can remain anonymous on the
Internet. Too often, I have clients telling
me that they read something online and
now they are concerned that their car may
blow up. This is a slight exaggeration,
but the point is that we sometimes place
too much importance on things we read
online. For example, imagine meeting
a complete stranger at a car show and
discussing the types of cars each of you
drive. Now, knowing what car you drive,
he tells you that your engine is going to
fail in the next 10,000 miles. Would you
Barrett Jackson Auto Auction
believe him? Maybe. However, I’m sure
you would at least get a second opinion
and hopefully check with a professional
(i.e. a reputable mechanic).
A recent online epidemic has begun.
It is called the “IMS failure”. IMS stands
for Intermediate Shaft. This is a bearing
that times the internal components of
an engine. If it fails, usually by loosing
oil, the timing goes off and the engine
can be permanently damaged. Initially
this sounds horrible and I guess it is.
However, you have to read beyond this.
This failure has occurred in only an
extremely small percentage of Porsches.
There are claims that it affects 10% of all
Porsches built from 1997-2005. If that
number were even remotely close, I’m
assuming there would be a huge number
of class action lawsuits against Porsche.
It would be worse than the recent Toyota
recall fiasco. Remember, the people
Story by Garey Cooper
With all the traveling that I’m doing
sometimes I muse upon the fact that I’m
so often “out of town” as they say. But
that particular saying has always struck
me as a bit odd because though I might
be out of this town, I’m usually in another
one.
T’other one this time around was Phoenix;
you know the one in Arizona. Where in
December the Canadians (Snow Birds)
flock in on aluminum wings and raise the
population by about half. I know because
those doggone Canucks had rented about
every hotel room and rental car in town.
Leaving slim pickings for the ‘MerCans
as they pronounce us. But being a
diamond status with various second and
third tier purveyors of room and wheels,
I managed to make out okay. In fact my
rental car was a siren red Camaro! Now
don’t get too excited as it was a mere six
cylinder, but if color and looks are fast
this car was supersonic.
For the poor car enthusiast there is a
period from, say, about November when
we are carving Turkeys to about the end
of January when Daytona occurs when,
from our perspective, nothing happens.
A whole two months without grease to
figuratively put under our nails, and where
our poor second and better halves can go
into TV rooms not riven by the sounds
of motors unleashed. There really is only
one saving grace during this hiatus and
this is the auctions in Arizona. Watching
an auction on TV is about as exciting as
watching golf on TV (don’t write me I’m
also a golfer, but what a dreadful spectator
sport nonetheless). Unless. Unless you
are a true car nerd and watch with baited
breath as a “numbers matching” 1976
Gremlin crosses under the auctioneers
gavel to the final bid. I’m not too willing
to admit to many people except my few
thousand readers here in the “Pando”
that I too have sat on a winters eve and
watched some obscure car get auctioned
off to some obscure fool.
So, I’m in Phoenix, or Scottsdale to be
exact, where my highlight is to get to a

Rice’s Ramblings:
Porsche & Me - My New M64-50 GT3 water tubes
Story by Lee Rice
I was to report on a oil leak fix for 964
chain box to engine case but that will have
to wait a while. I have sold my R/P 3.4
TurboS engine when I happened to find
a deal on a 1994 turbo engine needing a
home. I am just now starting to build-up
this new 3.6 M64/50 engine into my R/
P TurboS engine for my evolution 1968
911. More to followPORSCHE AND ME by Hans
Mezger and Peter Morgan. Promised in
Spring of last year and finally arrived after
Christmas. Hans Mezger, the informed
know of him as one of ‘the guys’ behind
the 911 and 917. True! Only there is a lot
more to this story of a boy growing up in
post-war torn Germany. His interests in
music and aviation machines come alive
as Hanz finds his way into fulfilling his
passion. Porsche had a need for young,
quick responding minds who got things
done right the fist time. This led to a close
alliance with Ferdinand Piëch and closer
ties with the Porsche family. Piëch was
the one who got things moving fast at
Porsche. He was the ‘mover and shaker’
at Porsche.
Mezger teamed with Piëch to get
the 911 off to its great start and the 917
to win anything and everything, both on
track. Its technology harnessed into a 911
became a success in the sales market. The

much, more. A good read for the casual
Porsche fan but for those who have to
know everything, PORSCH AND ME is
a must have. It was worth every penny
and the wait!
Questions: GT3 water leaks
Lee, Nice article in this month’s
“Pandemonium”. Really enjoyed the
factual approach.
Recently on “6speedonline” blog
site there have articles about the external
cooling tubes used on the 996/997 GT3
engines suddenly failing. It appears that
the failures seem to be related to track
time. However, my question is whether
you know of any info suggesting whether
this is a real issue for GT3 owners that
don’t track their cars. I know this is
probably a low risk issue, but the cost to
take the engine out and redo these tubes
is reported to be a couple of grand…

Now and Then or Then and Now?
Story by James Mahaffy
The second 48 Chrysler - a beer hider
I grew up in Los Angeles in the Silverlake
area in what I thought was the height
of the Hot Rod era. As someone once
said “Those were the days my friend,
we thought they’d never end” but they
did. My first car was a 1948 Chrysler
Highlander convertible, Canary yellow
with a Kelly green top. This was because
my mother knew the sales manager for
the Chrysler dealer in Huntington Park.
The car turned out to be a bit much for
high school kid so when my mother
decided to trade in her car, we traded
cars. She turned in the Chrysler and I got
her Plymouth, a 48 coupe a little more in
keeping with a high school life style. I
did all the things that were done to cars
back then, lowered, shaved deck lid and
hood, fancy hub caps, fender skirts and
some interior work. But nothing to the
engine. There wasn’t much good stuff
for flat head Plymouth sixes back then.
I had a lot of fun with that car and
did some things that I’d rather not talk
about. For instance, a friend with his
Ford tried to go as fast as he could in
first gear, and with the usual results. So
I tried to see if I could go faster. I did
and luckily didn’t blow up the engine.
Stupid I know, but OK, that’s how we
learn.
Around that time we did some drag
racing on Forrest Lawn drive, this was
before the freeway. After some people
got killed going off the road, the Police
started monitoring the races to keep
us from going off a two lane road into
the ditch. Things were a little different
then. The attitude of the police
changed with a new Police
Chief so we moved the drag
strip to Silverlake Blvd. and a
few other places. By this time
the police were trying to put an
end street drag racing, so we
had to be a lot sneakier! Cal

2012 International Car Show
Story by Lee and Evonne Muse
The Autobahn Adventures Group at the Party
Last September, Evonne and I departed Dulles Lee & Evonne at the Porsche party unveiling of the new 991
International on the very last flight available in order to
make it to Frankfurt, Germany in time to participate in the
Porsche 991 Carrera unveiling party at the International
Car Show. We flew Air France on the new Boeing A380.
Nice! Arriving in Paris at 6:00 AM, we caught a flight to
Frankfurt at 9:00 AM and were greeted by Mark and Tina
of Autobahn Adventures. A welcome sight! Off to the
Kempinski Hotel we went, showered, napped briefly and
then loaded into vans with the other Autobahn Adventure
participants. The event, like Autobahn Adventures, was
fabulous! There were Porsche Club members from all
over the world cheering the launch, which continued
long into the evening. The party included dinner and
an opportunity to meet, one on one, with Porsche
representatives. Extremely tired, a bit of good beer and
wine in our bellies, we asked a security guard standing Autobahn fun
near to take our picture in front of the 991’s on display. He
was very reluctant, fumbled with the camera, and then the
flash went off. One of the best pictures taken of Evonne
and me!
We never really caught up on our sleep during the
next 10 days spent cruising through Germany, Austria
and Italy. With the top down we enjoyed the countryside,
managed to hit 270 KPH and made new friends. See the
Autobahn Adventures 2011 Gallery for more pictures.
We currently own a 2010 GT3, a modified 1995 993
Cabriolet and are looking at a third!

Book Review:
PORSCHE The Engineering Story
Review by Randy Leffingwell
PORSCHE The Engineering Story by Jeff
Daniels, published by Haynes Publishing,
Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset, UK
This book is a gem! For those of you
who think of Haynes as the Pep Boys of
publishing, it will be a real eye opener.
High quality printing, outstanding
graphics, and excellent treatment of
a subject, touched on but not fully
addressed by other authors, make this an
essential addition to any Porschephile’s
library. Some confusion over early model
numbers may grate on a few reader’s
nerves, but they are really irrelevant to the
great ‘story’ presented in this book.
Lest some readers be put-off by the
‘Engineering’ in the title, let me assure
you that this book tells a story, and a
fascinating one at that. PORSCHE
The Engineering Story begins with an
interesting discussion of how Ferdinand
Porsche’s
successively
important
engineering positions (even without
finishing his University courses), followed
by his conflicts with boards of directors,
14
resulted in the unique mix of
engineering talent at core of
the establishment of Porsche
Design. Along the way, of
course, Porsche designed
the first gas-electric Hybrid
and was the first (only?)
race driver to win a race in a
production car he designed.
The Volkswagen and Type
60 chapter shows new insight
into the motivations for the
Volkswagen concept and
of Hitler’s rather personal
involvement, and how much
analysis was actually involved
in the decisions regarding the

PORSCHE
The
Engineering Story could truly
be called an ‘eye opening’
book as it describes how
Porsche components were
designed for maintainability
(at least some of them), and for minimal
production costs. This reviewer was
particularly fascinated in reading how
the ‘04 redesign of the fuel pump,
filter and pressure regulator in the tank,
allowed elimination of the fuel return
line, reducing weight and benefiting
both performance and fuel economy by
minimizing fuel heating. This book is
full of such generally unknown gems of
engineering wisdom which abound at
Porsche, AG.
It is easy to understand some of
the trade-offs considered, but others
are complex. The interactions between
cylinder metal and displacement, the
placement of clutches in front-engined
rear-transaxle cars, the influence of
engine exterior dimensions on bore/
stroke ratios, and the amazing discussion
of how battery placement in 928s
affected interior noise. Even trade-offs
between exhaust emissions and fuel
economy (strangely these environmental
issues work against other) are discussed.
Every model of Porsche is discussed
(including some interesting models that
didn’t make it to production - 989, Typ
1966, etc.); they all have some intriguing
engineering aspects of which most
owners are totally unaware, like a special
shape for coil springs to allow maximum
front suspension travel with minimum
hood height..
The gems of engineering wisdom
presented make PORSCHE The
Engineering Story a truly fascinating
read for anyone with the least glimmer
of interest in how, and why, Porsches
are built the way they are. If you like to
play ‘did you know ...’ games with your
Porsche friends, this is the book for you.
While some classic pictures from
Porsche Archives are included (notably
Herr Dr Ing Prof Porsche looking
down through a steering wheel, and
Ferry sitting on the hood of a 911), this
book contains a wealth of cutaway/xray drawings, both of whole cars and
of individual components. There also
are many pictures this reviewer has
never seen before, including pictures
of factory models I never new existed like a 924 turbo with twin hood scoops
and 928 headlights! Stemming from
the British motoring press, PORSCHE
The Engineering Story is refreshingly
different from that to which we ‘Yanks’
are accustomed. The marvelous ‘X-ray’
drawing on the dust jacket makes the
book well worth keeping on top of the
stack on the coffee table.
Eighteen Chapters from Ferdinand
Porsche’s youth in the 1890s through
the development of the 997 (Gen 1).
Inspiring for the budding engineer/
mechanic, fascinating for the owner/
driver, this is indeed one of those special
‘must have’ books for the Porschephile.

Rice’s Ramblings:
(Continued from page 8)
Just need to collect thoughts. - Keep up
the good articles! W. D.
Wayne: The issue with the GT3
cooling tubes is not so much related
to thermal stress bonding failure from
racing but to normal thermal fatigue.
Lets face it, gluing aluminum alloy in
a variable thermal area was not a good
idea. I would have thought a TIG
welder during assemble would be the
“normal Porsche method” of building
a Porsche engine? I have a very hard
time understanding Porsche’s miserable
failures of the ball bearing intermediate
shaft bearings, crankshaft seal failures,
water tubes failures, chassis ball joint
pulling out failures and rear suspension
inter-connect links fracturing. Something
is very different with Porsches slapping
out a new model every few months and
moving the inventory with jazzy racing
logos and loud mufflers!
I grew up in aviation where a good
design is perfected with X-models then Ymodels and then evolves from A- models
through a full life cycle like the Porsche
356 and 911; 1965-1973, then 1974-89
and so on. The big bugs were resolved
in pre-production and racing. Porsche
doesn’t race real 911 models anymore.
They race special “one of” exclusive and
very expensive racing cars.
I still love Porsche development
of things like the Hybrid GT3 K.E.R.S.
That is the real Porsche at work!
If I liked my GT3. I mean, IF I
REALLY liked it, I would pull the engine
and give it a good American valve job
with the good guides. AND have those
silly glued-on WATER tubes all TIG
welded! Lee Rice
From: W.D. later, Very insightful
response. I agree with the bad quality
releases; I had a 964. W.D.
I too like the 964 engine. However
the 964 generation car and it’s evolutionary
engine is a great Metzger engine, and so is
your GT3. We can remember the history
of how the 964 got to be so great: It was
Evolution. Remember the great chain
tensioner failures. I experienced that first
hand. The Magnesium case studs pulling
out? And those 3.3Turbo and 3.2 Carrera
rod bolt failures? Noisy Intermediate
gears (aluminum), though never did one
fail - that I know of... And it goes on.
A GT3 is a very special machine and
I think it is one car that is worth investing
in the upgrades I mentioned. Then you
will be one of the few who are at the
forefront of the Porsche evolution.
I have been doing this for 60+ years
now with airplanes, hot rods and the 901911-930-964-& 993tt. I can honestly say
that it is worth it too. If nothing else, what
else out there is not a potential problem?
When a GT3 or GT2 is running right
nothing, anywhere can compare and
everyone knows it!
I truly hope you decide to upgrade
your GT3 and then fully enjoy your
machine. - Lee
Here is a question / riddle for you?
Why does the newest Porsche hide its
engine completely from sight? And
yet, while boasting they did away with
air cooling, its newest 911 now has two
big cooling fans under the rear engine
cover?
Amusing answers are welcome…

Autocross Corner:
Horsepower For Your Suspension
Story by Steve Eguina
Part I:
As many of you pointed out at the last
couple breakfast meeting, it was October
when I wrote the article “Horsepower
for Your Suspension Part I” that
addressed sway bars. (This article can
be found at PCAOCR.org in the October
Pandemonium.)
I had hoped to follow this article
up with more articles, at least every
other month… Well, it seems with my
responsibilities at Fairview Mortgage
Capital, the holidays and sales increasing
at RacingLifestyle.com that I just ran out
of time. But I promise it won’t be six
months till the next article.
As we discussed in the October
article, sway bars come in factory stock
non adjustable, front and rear adjustable,
adjustable racing sway bars with sliding
end links and sway bars with “blades” on
the ends that adjust the stiffness. With
each type of sway bar the amount of
hardware and sophistication increase.
The subsequent cost usually also
increases. The same can be said of shock
absorbers or, as the Brits might call them,
“Dampers”.
Given enough time most Porsche
owners can figure out how sway
bars or anti-roll bars will increase
their cars handling and performance.
Understanding the benefits of a good set
of shock absorbers on your Porsche can
be even more important. You can install
the most sophisticated (read expensive)
model of Penske, Moton, KW or Koni
shocks and just end up chasing your tail
trying to get these shocks tuned properly.
It usually takes time and testing to get
a balanced suspension package correct.
For the most part the shocks are the
final adjustment tool to achieve the most
“Horsepower from Your suspension”.
Shocks VS Springs:
If you are one of the weekend racers
that think stiffer shocks are the secret to
improved lap times then keep reading.
Deciding what your primary use
of your Porsche is will help determine
what spring rates you want for your
car. Unless your car is solely a track/
race car, everything is a compromise.
For example: a GT3 might change out
the stock progressive springs to linear
600# Front and 900# rear spring rates.
This would be a driver who would want
to enjoy his car more at the track than
during everyday driving. These higher
than stock spring rates would result in a
much stiffer ride then the factory springs.
This is where the shock absorbers come
into play.
While the springs carry the loan
of the car and control the suspension’s
reaction to any bump or dip in the road,
they also are what really absorb the
shock. The shock absorbers or dampers
control the spring loading and unloading.
Since these shock absorbers are damping
the movement of the spring they should
probably be call dampers vs Shock
absorbers. (Don’t you hate it when those
Brit’s are right.) By the way, for purposes
of this article we will refer to struts and
shocks as “shocks” even though struts
also serve a second function as a loadbearing member of the suspension.
If it were not for the shocks on your
car controlling the springs, when you
car went over a bump it would just keep
bouncing up and down for an extended
period of time till it hit the next bump
and then start all over again. The shocks
control dampening the springs and
help control the movement of the cars
suspension. The shock compresses as
the spring compresses and extends as
the spring extends. What suspension
engineers try to accomplish is to match
the bump or compression and the rebound
or extension characteristics of the shock
to the car and its intended use.
The $10,000+ set of shocks:
Most factory installed shocks range from
OK (might last 30,000 miles) to pretty
good (might last 80,000) for normal street
use. However, I feel shocks are probably
one of the most significant changes you
can make to a car to improve the handling.
MARCH 2011
Shocks
Tires, followed by a good alignment,
would make the most difference. But
why do “performance shocks” have to be
expensive? It is kind of like the sway bars.
Your paying for the quality of the material
used in construction, the precision to
which the shock is manufactured and
the engineering. Don’t get me wrong.
You can get a good quality set of shocks
for under $3,000 that would serve the
average Auto-X enthusiast VERY well.
However, the average road racer might
spend $6,000+ on a set of shocks.
Let’s Compare Two Enthusiasts:
Enthusiast one, the Auto-X/DE
enthusiast, can get away with a $3,000
or less expensive set of shocks. In
most cases they are driving a car that
is a daily or at a least weekend car and
is dual purpose. It might attend a wine
tour one weekend and an Auto-X the
next weekend. As such the spring rates
on the dual use Porsche might be 400 lb
in the front and 650 lb in the rear. Just
right to take on his Auto-X competitors.
The $3,000 set of K-W Adjustable or
Moton Club Sport shocks would have no
problem controlling these spring rates.
Enthusiast Two is the weekend
Road Racer/Time Trial enthusiast. In

Zone 8 Happenings
By Tom Brown Zone 8 Representative
In our ongoing effort to improve
communication with the membership,
PCA Zone 8 (consisting of the 13 regions
in southern California & Nevada, as well
as Arizona) now has a Facebook page,
Google+ page, a YouTube channel and
a Twitter account. With these tools we
hope to keep you better informed about
upcoming events throughout the zone,
as well as report back to you on all the
fun and excitement enjoyed by those
that were there. Like our page, join our
circle, follow our tweets! And if you have
something to contribute, don’t be shy -post a comment! Or if you have video or
pictures to share, please do, all you need
to do is contact your Zone Rep, that’s me,
at [email protected] and I can get it
posted. To sign up, please use the links
on zone8.pca.org.
Email may be old-fashioned but it is
still very important. Club news is sent
out regularly by email from national, the
zone and your region. National and the
zone (as well as many regions) rely on
the email address in your PCA account
on www.pca.org. If you are not receiving
your emails from the club, you should
log into your account on www.pca.org
and make sure your email address is
there and up-to-date. Even if your region
uses a different system, you should make
sure it is correct on www.pca.org so that
you don’t miss anything important from
national or the zone. If you have any
trouble, the staff at the national office is
eager to please; drop them an email or
give them a call. Keep it current and you
won’t miss out on the next car raffle or
important news about zone and regional
events!
Speaking of events, there are several
Zone events happening in March and
early April:
• March 9 the San Diego Region
Drivers’ Ed at the Auto Club
Speedway in Fontana
• March 10 Zone 8 Concours Prep &
Judging School in Vista
• March 11 Santa Barbara Region
Autocross at the Earl Warren
Fairgrounds
• March 19 Grand Prix Region
Drivers’ Ed and Autocross at the
Streets of Willow
• April 7 Southern Arizona Region
Concours Prep & Judging School
These aren’t all that is happening
as our regions have full calendars of
local events going on all the time. For
more information see zone8.pca.org for
the Zone calendar and for links to each
region.
Get out and about! There are a lot of
fun activities happening all the time and
you are welcome to join in almost any
region event. Travel and see what your
club neighbors are up to!
Porsches and Pancakes at Woodys Diner is a fun OCR PCA Zone 8 event happening once a month

While we are talking about our
web calendars, I’d like to mention that
the zone web site will continue to grow
and evolve. One goal of mine is to steal
an idea from our friends in Zone 9. The
Zone 9 web site lists the favorite driving
roads for each region in that zone. That
seems like something we should do as
well, as many of us find ourselves driving
outside of our regions from time to time
for one reason or another. Might as well
have a little fun while we are doing it!
If you have a favorite Porsche road,
please send it to me at zonerep@zone8.
org Please include a description, such as
the road name or number, and the stretch
that you find to be an absolute blast in
your Porsche (so that others may find it).
Also include your name and region and
I’ll make sure it is posted on the zone 8
website for all to share and enjoy.
Since I am now the official Zone 8
Representative, I need to hand off my
previous zone staff position of Rules
Chair to a new volunteer. Which means
that I need to recruit that new volunteer,
of course! If you think you might be
interested in working on the zone staff
and volunteering to be our new Rules
Chair; I am now accepting applications.
Please send me a note at zonerep@
zone8.org and I’ll be happy to answer
any questions you might have and take
you into consideration for the position.

MARCH 2011
Barrett-Jackson:
The Cars of Barrett-Jackson
gas fired powered power plant (do you know how your electricity
is made?) and punch up 3D Pressure Gauges. And I realize I have a
weeknight free! What to do? Of course I must away to the BarrettJackson Automobile Auction.
I was never prepared for the sheer scale of the event. It is big no
make that REALLY BIG, as in huge, and guaranteed to bring
bunions if your shoes are too tight. It is big enough to require
you to park your car in a satellite lot miles from anything except
dust and a bus ride to the action. And as the bus approaches, the
realization dawns that this is a “happening” of proportions only
born in America. The main tent at the Barrett is acres long. With
their usual craft, the organizers make sure one walks past every
hawker, peddler and drummer of goods, no matter how remotely
automotive, to get to the action. There was even a booth selling
mattresses, how that connects with cars/automobiles I’ll leave to
my dear readers.
I did not know that there is a progression to the auction. And it is
based upon the time that a car for sale passes the block. The cars
earlier in the week are the least expensive, and at the end of the
week, particularly in the evening, there are cars, or more properly
rolling sculpture, that can capture seven figures. That is seven
figures as in Rockefeller or the national debt. The champion car for
this year I think is a 1947 Bentley Franay Mark VI Cabriolet. You
have to remember this car was created within two years of the end
of World War II, and in a time when rationing was still going on in
the land of its creation, England. There is some history and interest
there much beyond the car itself. This piece of art crossed the block
at the end of the week.
So, the really expensive stuff goes at the end of the week but even
those rare birds are displayed along with their more pedestrian
cousins throughout the grounds of the auction. There are separate tents scattered about with treasures lurking almost wherever one
looks. There was a “Gogomobile” micro car in one tent that was cute as perhaps a pidgin and of the same relative vintage as the Franay
Bentley. I had to wrap my mind around the fact that at one end of the social spectrum people who were considered to be doing pretty
well in the post apocalyptic World War II life were buying these little noisy boxes at the same time some peer was “acquiring” the
Franay. Right or wrong I suppose it is always ever thus.
I was able to attend on a Wednesday evening and even though these were supposed to be the lower priced cars there were still some
delectable choices available; Corvettes and the like. The emphasis seems to be American iron over European filigree. But, if you are a
hot rod fan or a 50’s or 60’s Chevy or Ford fan, you’ll scrap your jaw on the ground looking around at what is available. Some of the
cars I saw were almost “reasonable” in terms of price from my perspective. But as I thought this, the notion came to me that you would
need some expert advice to negotiate in these shark filled waters. Someone needs to have the necessary information as to whether or
not some particular “Resto-Rod” is worth the money asked. I suppose, of course, you could succumb to emotion and just buy the darn
thing with the purpose of driving it and owning it, never
mind the “investment” potential. Which upon rational
reflection is probably the best course. The term “cars as
an investment” seems almost self-explicative and laden
with enough irony as to be transparent to all.
I personally had so much fun that I’d return in a moment.
And I do think even the less petrol obsessed could also
have enough fun that the car-centric could bring along
their partners and camp followers with little complaint. I
will return and I recommend that my fellow Orange Coast
Region denizens add this to their “bucket list” forthwith.
It is close enough to drive but you can also take the
Southwest bus there and from Orange County be there
in less than three hours total, portal to portal. I just may
bring a checkbook next time…

most cases these cars have maybe 650
to 850 lb front springs and 900 to 1,500
rear springs. In this case the $3,000 set
of shocks would probably fall short of
controlling these spring rates. This is
where a set of $6,000+ Triple adjustable
Dynamic or full race Penske shocks
would come into play. A more precise
shock is needed to control the higher
spring rates.
Either enthusiast can never go wrong
with buying a quality shock absorber.
This is because not only does the better
shock keep the tire contact patch on the
pavement, they also help control the dive
and squat of the car during braking and
accelerations as well as better grip and
turn in.
In the next issue (next month because
I know you don’t want to wait) we will
discuss how much to spend and what you
get for your money in more detail. Till
Then…..HAVE FUN!
You Can’t Always Believe:
crying online about this problem are
typically the only ones we hear from.
Nobody goes online and says, “I woke
up today, got in my car, started it up and
my IMS worked flawlessly all the way
to work.” Of course not. That would be
ridiculous. The Porsche forums tend to
be therapy sessions for antisocial people
who may be bitter and feel slighted by a
rare mechanical device failure.
As more and more people began
discussing the IMS issue with me,
I started asking several of our local
Porsche mechanics about it. I found
out that the percentage of failures was
incredibly low. In fact, one mechanic
said that he has yet to see one fail. The
good news is that the fix is easy. It can
be done at the same time a new clutch is
installed for approximately $500-$750.
If you properly and regularly maintain
your car, your mechanic should be able
to alert you to an impending problem.
Fortunately, the shelf life of
misinformation found online is very
short. As quickly as some new issue
becomes the latest buzz, it is already
being replaced by something else. It
can be overwhelming. But there is
really no need to worry. Simply build a
good relationship with a mechanic you
trust and schedule regular maintenance.
That’s it!
Porsches are great cars. They are
a blast to drive and are very well built.
However, they’re not perfect. No car is.
With each new model year, Porsches get
better and better. They do more and last
longer. Many of us grew up in the age of
100,000-mile cars. What I mean is that
no one expected a car to last more than
100,000 miles without major repairs.
I truly believe we are at the dawn of a
new era. I think we are going to see
Porsches last half a million miles and
beyond. That will be the new norm.
Just imagine seeing a Porsche listed for
sale and advertised as being low miles
with “just” 250,000 miles. Remember,
Porsche is a young company at only 60
years old. How long before we see 8digit odometers on Porsches?

Coming Soon
Pete’s Tour to
The Automobile Driving Museum
MAY ? TBD watch for it!
This is an unusual small museum in El Segundo, that is not widely known, unfortunately. It originally started with a collection
of Packards, and has grown with additional cars added to the collection. The unique feature is that on Sundays, they give
rides in selected cars as part of your $ 5.00 admission donation. The last time, some of us got to ride in Jeseph Stalin’s
1936 Packard Touring Car, a Studebaker Hawk, and a 1937 Oldsmobile. We will have a docent-led tour of the museum.
Hope you can make it.
There are a number of places nearby for a quick lunch afterwards if desired. More information can be found at http://www.

Editors Corner:
(Continued from Page 5)
the 1070s are not all that long ago. But
the difference of the 1970 Carerra to the
modern day version was remarkable.
The earlier car had odors that evoked
childhood memories of leaded gasoline,
and musty upholstery. Starting a car of
this vintage requires one to remember
not to “flood” the carburetors by standing
on the gas pedal. On cold mornings you
might even have to pull out the “choke”
to enrich the mixture to the combustion
chambers and awaken a sleepy sports car.
Computers now do that job and almost
every other as well. The windows are
cranked up and down and wind wings
pushed open bring a flood of hot air when
you want cool air, and cool air when
you want hot. With no power steering
handling the wheel at lower speeds calls
for some upper body strength that the
modern car driver never need call upon.
The modern car by contrast only needs
the key twisted, myriad sensors measure
the required parameters and the motor
spins to spirited life with no intervention
required on the drivers part.
Such is the stuff of the old and new.
But has it cost the cars or our Porsche
autos their soul? Where does computer
assistance become interference? Is it
best to allow errors on the driver’s part
go unheeded, or allow computer aids to
keep the errant conductor on the road?
Even when he or she wishes to swing
the tail a little wide in a throttle assisted
power slide? It is still quite possible to
drive a car off a cliff if you aim at the
edge and bury your foot in the accelerator.
No amount of computer oversight can
overcome the laws of gravity, physics or
common sense. At least so far. But as a
“for example” the new 991 has “torque
vectoring” steering. Which means that in
a turn the sensors will detect the inside
wheel and apply some braking to that
wheel to bring the nose into the turn a
little more directly or responsively. Is it
still “sporting motoring” or are we all to
be interested but not completely involved
spectators in our driving. Quite honestly,
on the freeway in the morning on the
way to work with roads as straight as can
be and the humdrum mind numbingly
driven into one, I could be tempted,
really tempted. But a nice twisty road, a
responsive car and throttle like the new
991/911 and I want to be my own mental
Schumacher, not a computer assisted
automaton.
The only constant is change
One of the more interesting statistics
quoted at Circle was that more than 50%
of Porsche sales involve cars with 4
doors. The new Panamera and Cayenne
must be considered a backbone of the
company. My own personal eyeball
metric has counted many new Panameras
on the road. Once again I’ve driven one,
a friends “S” version. It’s a big car with
big power (I can’t imagine a Turbo!) and
great handling and agility. Porsche is
reportedly working on a “baby” Cayenne,
a la the new “crossover” genre. I think it
will sell big numbers. I only hope Porsche
continues as they have and use part of the
revenues generated to advance the cause
of the sports car, Boxster, Cayman, and of
course the new king, the 911.
2012 Concours
MARCH 2011
We had a wonderful announcement at
our last Board Meeting. Nicole CooperBoggs and Louise Bent announced the
2012 Concours will be at Shady Canyon
Country Club, on the grass. What a coup
and kudos go to the ladies for landing
this site. Not only will all of the grass
be beautiful in juxtaposition to the cars,
it will be kind to the feet for a day in
the Southern California sun. This will
be a year of firsts because we will have
an afternoon Concours, followed by
dinner and dancing. A great day for all
participants and their significant others.
Please do try to make this one; it will be a
Concours for the ages.
Hail to the Chief
Gordon Williams is the new President as
announced in the last issue of your club
magazine. He is looking at ideas and
events for us not only for this year but
for next year as well. Please give Gordon
an idea or two and whenever you see
him also give him a thanks, for running
your club. It’s a fun job but it does take
time and effort. With now more than
2,000 members it is a big responsibility.
And, with all of the new 4-doors out
there, we need to remember that the idea
of a Porsche is evolving along with the
membership. See you soon!
