f you are a member of the AZPCA, you are in luck, fall starts this month and club events ramp up with the cooling weather!

Check the events calendar on our website or later in this issue of Going Places.

Club news…

• The state of AZPCA remains strong and our budget remains very healthy.

• Flight 41 planning has gone well and registration will open the first week of September.

• Autocross and Driver’s Education start in September and October respectively.

• Driving tours continue throughout the fall.

• Planning for the Holiday Party is complete. The party will be at a new location, Trilogy at Power Ranch, and have new entertainment and an enhanced menu. Registration opens shortly.

• A multi-day Hot Air Tour to New Mexico is planned in October.

• The Board of Directors will have a special meeting to discuss how our large budget should be used for the betterment of all members. If you have ideas, please let me know.

• Planning for the 2019 Sponsorship program is underway, starting with meetings with our Platinum Sponsors, Porsche Chandler and Porsche North Scottsdale, to determine how the AZPCA can better serve their advertising needs.

• An AZPCA Goodie Store will be set up at one of the fall meetings to give everyone an opportunity to purchase AZPCA merchandise without having to go through the ordering process.

You are probably wondering how this all gets done and how you can help. It gets done through the hard work of a dedicated group of volunteers. You can help in two ways. First and foremost, take advantage of the many social and driving opportunities the club affords all of its members. Secondly, consider helping the club by taking on a leadership position either as a director or activity chair or just help with an event.

The club will especially be needing folks to step up and fill one of the four Board of Director vacancies (see the August issue of Going Places for details) or one of the upcoming activity chair vacancies. Without you and our volunteers the AZPCA would not be as successful as it is. This is a chance for you to make a difference in the club and influence how the club operates in the future.

Following is a list of positions that will need to be filled in 2019: • Four BOD members – See the August issue of Going Places for more details. -Contact Lyle Capstick if you are interested (pastpresident@az.pca.org).

Wo o dwell

••

Chief Judge – Jack Aman is stepping down after many years as Chief Judge.

••

Social Chair – This position has been vacant for too long!

••

Monthly Meeting Coordinator – Mark Baker is stepping down.

••

Rally Chair – The AZPCA has not had a rally in a number of years. It would be fun to have one!

Finally, please take a look at the following upcoming meeting agendas. They should be fun.

••

Sept. 5 @ The Blue Martini -Tech Talk by Jim Patrick from Patrick Motorsports

••

Oct. 3 Oktoberfest @ The Pera Club – only $5 per person We need volunteers to help with the cooking!

••

Nov. 7 @ Porsche North Scottsdale (PNS always does a great job with this event) - 2019 BOD election

••

Dec. – Location remains to be determined

••

Tech Talk by Russ Beyer from Haggerty Porsche Insurance. Everything you ever wanted to know about Porsche insurance so come prepared with your questions.

I hope as I write this, everyone has had a great summer. If you stayed in the valley you survived another Arizona summer (well almost). If you were able to spend time in a cooler climate, don’t rub it in! No matter, I hope I will see you at a future event.

The AZPCA continues to be one of the most active regions in Zone 8 and in North America. Let’s keep it that way!

Bob

PS - Please say thanks to any of the many AZPCA volunteers working for you and me to ensure there are activities for everyone now and in the future.

e are very fortunate that our hot summer is coming to a close and our club activities are starting to pick up too!

Mark and I attended the 7th Annual AZPCA Night Out at the Ballpark club event and had a good time. Thank you Jan Mackulak and Rook Younger for organizing. Unfortunately, the Seattle Mariners beat the Dbacks in extra innings. The Dbacks are now in a 3 way race with the Rockies and Dodgers. Let’s hope it is not a repeat of last year with the Dodgers winning the division. Go Dbacks!

Check out the great articles and book review in this month’s newsletter; The Porsche Expeience and My Excellent EuroDelivery Adventure,- Part 2, just to name a few.

I also want to acknowledge some of our loyal, long-time members celebrating AZPCA anniversaries for September.

Meet A Member

T

he AZPCA is made up of a wonderful group of members. As Going Places Editor, I would like to introduce featured member, Jon Puleo.

I purchased my Guards Red, 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman S from Penske/Scottsdale at the end of March.

The car is stock, but very well optioned and I have no immediate plans for any upgrades.

I had previously owned a 924 Turbo in the 80s. There have been many interesting cars before and after that Turbo. Cars and motorcycles have been central in my life since the age of 8.

Regarding the top three cars I would own, I have already owned. A Pontiac GTO bought new in 1965, an Oldsmobile Ram Air 442 in 1968, and a Mustang GT in 2014. The Cayman replaced the Mustang, and is the only other car that tops that list. I bought the Porsche to finally satisfy a wishlist ! Nothing else interests me presently.

I joined the PCA and specifically the AZPCA for the fellowship of like minded people who want to enjoy their cars.

I met some of your members last month in Flagstaff at dinner with the Las Vegas Chapter.

A very enjoyable weekend. I’m looking forward to future participation with the club in the future.

I’m a native of Cleveland, Ohio, graduated high school in California, lived in the Dallas area for a few years and a resident of Arizona for 40 years, 20 in Flagstaff (7 in Phoenix and currently living in Payson for the last 13 years).

I’m a widower with two children. A married daughter in Utah and a son and his family in Phoenix with two children.

Retired for the last 14 years, having spent the majority of my career in the freight transportation industry.

The Porsche Experience

by Bob Tomlin

S

ince the opening of the western Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles, I have longed for an opportunity to visit. A four-day trip to Los Angeles in August, extremely well organized and conducted by AZPCA’s Rook and Debbie Younger provided that opportunity.

AZPCA participating members assembled at the Cracker Barrel restaurant in Buckeye for the drive to Carson, CA. The Arizona group, comprising a very broad representation of Porsche models, headed west on Interstate 10, detouring through a satisfying twisty route through a lunar landscape to Mecca (no Mecca jokes please) and on to Indio, CA for an excellent lunch at the incredible and unique Jackalope Ranch Restaurant. Where do you find these places, Rook and Debbie?

Chris, our Tour Guide at the Porsche Experience Center

On our arrival at our hotel in Carson we met three couples from the Southern Arizona Region. We would meet other Zone 8 members at the Porsche Experience Center the next day. With the help of our Zone 8 Representative, David Witteried, the private tour requirements were filled by Zone 8 members from various regions in the zone.

The hotel in Carson afforded an excellent opportunity to watch California freeway traffic but we were so tired we slept through it. Next morning, charged with a good breakfast, we joined the freeway mayhem. Rook’s directions saw us safely to the Porsche Experience facility.

This comprises a museum, test track, accessory store, restaurant and extensive workshops.

Prior to our private tour and lunch we had ample time to view the wonderful exhibits, from very early Porsches to recent winning race cars. Some of us were lured into the attractive store where we treated ourselves to Porsche merchandise. For our tour we were introduced to “Chris, from West London,” our private Porsche guide through the workshops. This was a comprehensive look at many phases of race car preparation. Chris really knew his stuff. It was most interesting. The highlight for me was the impressive dynamometer installation. We saw many different cars and engines in various stages of build.

After the tour it was time for a satisfying track-side buffet lunch while we watched lucky drivers sampling a range of Porsches on the test track that included skid pads, inclines and a wide variety of turns. Some members chose to try their skills on the Porsche driving simulators which offered a choice of Porsche vehicle and track venue. | 18 |

Lunch on the patio at the Porsche Experience Center

As one would expect from Porsche this “Experience “is first class and very impressive.

Late afternoon we made our way to our second hotel, in Culver City, just in time for Happy Hour and dinner where we got to know new friends and share the enjoyment of the day. The following morning, after a satisfying breakfast, we braved the LA freeways again and headed downtown to the Petersen Automotive Museum. I will never complain about Arizona congestion again!

Amazed that we had arrived unscathed we found excellent parking at the museum and helpful staff. Porsche is currently the featured marque at the museum and offers magnificent exhibits.

The display is beautifully presented and well described.

It enthralled us for several hours during which many memories of Porsches we have owned or watched in races were stirred and many photos were taken. This too was a Porsche experience par excellence.

Porsche Experience Center - GT1 Le Mans Winner

There were three floors to explore. The first featured a special exhibit dedicated to Porsche automobiles of historic and competition interest. The second and third feature other marques, motorcycles, a design studio, antique sports cars and other interesting exhibits. All are well presented with good access as long as you heeded the warning “Do not touch.”

An excellent, privately catered buffet lunch was provided for our group in the Drago restaurant.

Many of us had chosen to invest in the touted private “Vault” tour after lunch, where we were told we would see rare Porsches. This turned out to be quite disappointing and exhausting for some of us. Rather than go into details, I suggest you talk privately with those of us that were in the group for their opinions. Suffice to say, I would not personally recommend the vault tour.

Porsche Experience Center - One of the original Porsches built in Germund

Thursday morning, we fought our way to the 10 freeway and headed east to the Arizona border. As the freeway traffic thinned we settled down for a comfortable ride home, punctuated by a short rain shower and laser equipped highway police traps.

Overall it was a wonderful experience and we offer our thanks to Rook and Debbie, and to the old and new PCA friends we spent our time with. If you get the opportunity I strongly recommend visiting both the Porsche Experience Center and the Petersen Museum.

My Excellent EuroDelivery Adventure - Part 2

by Tom Schmidt Burgundy

A

fter seeing Burgundy, tasting Burgundy and touring Burgundy, Van was ready to apply for French citizenship. Its lush pastoral vineyards are even more beautiful when you consider what it produces. Though less than 1% of world wine production, it’s the stuff you want on your table. Below, is how they plow the ground at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, perhaps the most expensive bit of land in the world.

Revelation No. 3: We were utterly helpless in the tasting rooms. When cosseted in the enveloping warmth of a great, but young Pinot Noir it’s pretty much impossible to not buy a couple of cases. We ate primarily at bistro’s, both of us being fansof French country fare.

| 22 |

“Der Grune Holle or the Green Hell: Nurburgring” As soon as we got to the Nürburgring , I bought a track sticker for the car. The owner of the kiosk said to me, “you put on the sticker after you drive The Ring, not before.” Jahwohl, my Gutten Herr. It isn’t official until you do it.

And you’d better have your Big Boy Pants on if you’re going to put your new GT3 on the Ring with a load of amateurs. It was a calculated risk. Not really all that smart, but here we are and the car had to be “baptized”.

I regret that we weren’t able to video the event better than we did. We had brought the equipment and were expecting to get on the course the next day, but they’d opened it up a day early and tomorrow the weather would be wet. We decided to go now. So, instead of fixturing the cam to the windshield, I gave Van the video to hold and we took off.

Earlier, I had told Van that I was going to drive the first lap briskly, as if I was on a country road. As we went through the Bilstein Bridge, some clown in a Renault Magrane decided he was going to punk me out by honking his horn and passing me on the inside of the line. After I passed him I had the bit in my teeth and drove as fast as I could see.

Which, unfortunately for someone holding a video cam wasn’t the best arrangement. If you saw the video, you’d see the sky, then the dashboard, then a bit of the track, back to the sky. It’s not watchable. However, the soundtrack does have Van’s attempts at self preservation calling out the suggested speeds posted for the turns. LOL. We’re in a GT3. Forget the “suggested” speeds and we aren’t following them anyway. At the end, he became a bit car-sick and was happy to get out after three laps, which I thought was admirable, considering. During the four laps, which is plenty, I

was passed only by an M3 Ring-Taxi, who should know the track by now, and a full blown Porsche Cup Car. Fair enough.

I might add, I had a close one with a VW GTI. So, just know you’re on your own in this game. I was under no illusion Porsche’s insurance would pay for my fun. The car handled like a dream. Planted. Fast.

My Excellent EuroDelivery Adventure - Continued Driving race tracks conjures up a powerful thirst and we went to the Pistenklause, a pizza joint, for a beer. We parked next to McLaren’s, Ferrari’s, Lambo’s more Porsche’s. The Pistenklause has more “Ring” memorabilia than you can count. If you’ve ever been to Siebkin’s at Road America, you get the picture. Twelve of BMW’s “M” tech’s were there holding court. Three guys we talked to said they were pals with Walter Rohrl. Anywhere else, I’d be skeptical. Not here.

This was Ring-Rat Central and everyone seemed to be “connected”. I impressed all by driving out of the parking lot right into the dead end. Steve McQueen’s got nuthin’ on me.

Back to Stuttgart A quick trip to Trier and down the Mosel River eventually brought us back to Stuttgart and to the start of our Excellent Adventure. We only had three things left to do; See the Porsche Museum, see the Mercedes-Benz Museum and then dump the car with the forwarder. The Porsche Museum are half off for PCA members. We should have booked a table at the very beautiful Christophus Restaurant, but we pulled into town far too late for that.

Hard to believe all 6’4” of Dan Gurney could fit into this tiny space.

After James Dean crashed, his car was parted out. It’s said that if all those parts were put together today, you could build seventeen 550 Spyders.

My Excellent EuroDelivery Adventure - Continued Revelation No. 4: Although the Porsche Museum is very, very impressive, Porsche didn’t invent the automobile; Daimler, Maybach and Benz actually did and they’ve got the museum to prove it. It’s hard to grasp the breadth and depth of the M-B Museum when you’re seeing it. Like the Guggenheim, it’s a ziggurat going down, with floors stocked with the era they’re exhibiting. From the earliest forms of motor transportation, to the most modern, including trucks and race cars, MB has it all. The W196 Strommlien is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Being this close to it gives me chills and rightly so. The Monza bodied W196 on the left has Fangio’s and Moss’s fingerprints all over it.

And Home The hand-off to the freight forwarder was a breeze. These guys are pro’s and like keeping their relationship with the factory as tight as possible. Ergo, they make sure you’re happy and satisfied when you’re dealing with them. It all went like clockwork. I signed some papers, they took the keys and ordered up a taxi. Take everything, and I mean everything out of the car. I was back in my hotel a half an hour later, sans Der Blaue Engel.

I felt empty. Desolate. Abandoned. Crushed. Okay, I’ll skip the drama, but even knowing that it would be about six to eight weeks before I’d be reunited with her back in Scottsdale was painful. All said, this trip’s pretty much all the fun a boy can have without direct and constant supervision. We did all we set out to do.

The trip home was uneventful. My wife was there in the closet, tied up, just like I’d left her, but otherwise in good spirits. There’s a very, very expensive purse coming for her from an outfit with five letters in its name. The speed-cam tickets have already begun to arrive.

Editor’s Note: Tom was expecting delivery of his car anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks from June 30th.

BOOK REVIEWS FOR PORSCHEPHILES

by Bruce Herrington, Orange Coast Region

CARS & CURVES, A TRIBUTE TO 70 YEARS OF PORSCHE

P

hilosophers can argue themselves blue in the face over when “PORSCHE” began. Was it the first concept for a car, the establishment of Porsche GmbH, the first complete drawings, the first prototype car, the first production car, the production of the 10th car, the 100th....

Perennial author of books about Porsche, Larry Leffingwell arguably jumped the gun with his “PORSCHE - 70 YEARS”, published in September, 2017. This book coincides more closely to the ‘popular’ concept of the 70th anniversary of Porsche, but has much less relationship to the history of Porsche AG and it’s cars.

CARS & CURVES is a ‘tribute’, not a history, not a review, not a technical report. (Lest there be any confusion, the curves” in the title are the “Road & Track” kind, not the “Playboy” kind, and this book has no relationship to the ‘Adult Coloring Book’ with the same title.), The book under review is basically a book of pictures, showing various models of Porsches on curvy roads.

There is no table of contents, no index, and there is as much emphasis on the scenery as on the cars. Most locations are in Europe (including England, Scotland and Iceland), and the Matte paper adds an ‘arty’ quality to the often double-page spreads. Each of some 26 ‘chapters’ begins with with a one page description of the ‘event’ shown in the subsequent pictures, with only a little technical information about the cars themselves.

Some chapters deal with a single car; most show multiple cars, sometimes an early model with a later model. Some locations are repeated with different cars, and at least one car, a Carrera 6 shows up in separate locations.

A very impressive book to have on your coffee table, it is bound to promote conversation, either about the cars or the scenery. The oldest car shown is a Typ 64 BerlinRome racer from 1939. The newest included is the 2019 Mission E coupe. There are Street Legal race cars – a 904 and a Carrera 6. Panameras, Cayennes and Caymans are included as well as 356s and 914s. Despite the heritage, no African venue is included, and there are no front-

engined ‘water pumper’s appear on these pages..

Nit-pickers can complain that the chapter on “911Carrera S Cabrio, containing pictures of a drive from LA to San Francisco, shows a picture of Roy’s Motel/Cafe in Amboy without showing the logo on the pavement or even mentioning Route 66 in the caption. Another glitch is that the chapter on driving up the Grimselpass in Switzerland shows impressive scenery (in dreary weather), and lists the featured Speedster as being a ‘54, but shows it having teardrop tail lights and a ‘shine-up’ license plate light. Produced as a book of pictures of Porsches (and landscapes) not a technical reference, these problems are immaterial to the value of the book.

At the risk of being obscure, let me say that this is a great book for the Porsche enthusiast, but not particularly valuable to the Porsche aficionado. A ‘coffee table book’ to introduce and inspire the neophyte Porsche fan, not to educate the Porschephile CARS & CURVES is hard bound and contains 432, 8.5x11 inch matte pages.

As this is written it is available for $45.54 from Amazon books. published in June, 2018 is comparable to the earlier book, in that it is a big, heavy (~5 pounds) but are otherwise as different as ‘horizontal’ (Leffingwell) vs ‘vertical’ Bogner-Winter. Leffingwell is printed with lots of white space around the text – Bogner-Winter has columns of very dense, fully justified, text. Leffingwell is all in English – Bogner-Winter has matching blocks of German and English text. How incredibly ironic is is then, that the book by reknowned photographer Randy Leffingwell tells the story of Porsche’s first(?) 70 years through text, and the Bogner-Winter book is basicalllyt a book of pictures, showing various models of Porsches on ‘curvy’ roads.

Strictly a picture book – CARS & CURVES, A TRIBUTE TO 70 YEARS OF PORSCHE, by Stephan Bogner and Ben Winter, published June 2018 by Delius Klassing Verlag, Germany

Surprise Present

by Barb Crowley

W

e were so excited when we saw our '53 356 Pre-A coupe was on the cover of the January 2018 Going Places newsletter.

I contacted Angela Manente, editor of Going Places and asked her to send a copy of the newsletter so that it could be framed and given to Dennis for his Birthday. There was a problem though ... that issue was only available electronically and the resolution online wasn't good enough for a high quality print. Luckily, Angela went out of her way to get the original high definition photo and sent it to me.

It took some work to keep all this a secret from Dennis because Dennis and I have the same email address ... but it all worked out and he got his special gift! He was surprised and delighted because he thought it was "unobtainium."

Happy 71st birthday Dennis!

SO OLD in years ... but young at heart!

Listicles Forever

by Danielle Badler

Y

ou know them. You see them everywhere. Those lists of everything from the top five food destinations in the US if you’re into no-cal vegan French street cuisine to the ten best deals on homes in the 90210 area code that are painted red and have excellent street appeal. They’re called “listicles.”

Here’s what Wikipedia says: “In journalism and blogging, a listicle is a short-form of writing that uses a list as its thematic structure, but is fleshed out with sufficient copy to be published as an article. The word is a portmanteau derived from list and article.”

According to Wired Magazine, we need to get used to it. They ran an article a few years ago titled “5 Reasons Listicles are Here To Stay, And Why That’s Ok.” Get the irony? Anyway, here they are: — Lists curate.

— Lists give us additional ways to interact with information — Lists are jumping-on points — Lists are ethically neutral — Lists are not giving you ADHD. Yah well, ok. But I can’t help thinking the whole activity is a bit inane. I mean, at the end of the story in Wired is an actual listing of other stories in which the reader might be interested, including “Discover the six 2018 luxury cars so cool its awesome. They cost under $50K!”

2. The top three Porsche race cars I wish I had seen in full-bore competition.

The 917-30, the 962 and the 919.

3. The two Porsches I wish the factory would make because they’d sell so many we’d be assured of a steady stream of sports cars for the rest of our lives.

A Porsche pickup truck. I mean, how difficult would it be to join the worldwide sales party by cutting and reconfiguring the Cayenne? And a Porsche Suburban-fighter. I can hardly imagine what the margin would be on these vehicles.

4. Three reasons why Porsche will never again build an affordable sports car.

They’re still smarting from the fallout they got when they built the 914 and people called it really a Volkswagen. If they did, how would they then market their used vehicles? Audi would scream and yell to VW management that they’re usurping the TT market.

5. The best products ever developed by Porsche Design.

The original Porsche Titan chronograph. The original collapsible sunglasses.

That’s verbatim, friends. Don’t blame me for the awkward and incorrect grammar.

6. The three best Porsche posters ever to grace a garage wall.

Not that anybody seems to care. If they did, tweeting wouldn’t exist today. either. But I digress….

The 993 Turbo photo with the caption “Kills bugs fast.” The 54th Targa Florio photo showing Jo Siffert scattering race fans in a Gulf-Porsche 908-3. The 1000 Kilometer Nurburgring photo showing the Carrera 6 with all four wheels in the air.

Sorry, I just checked my e-mail in-box. And, lo and behold, out of six new entries since I began writing this dribble, two are “10 lightweight jackets that are perfect for fall travel” and “Three perfect blazers you need now.”

Of course, I have no idea who actually wrote these things, or whether there’s even the remotest emphasis on objective authenticity. Does it matter? I think not.

Which is why I guess I’d better join in the fun. So here goes.

The top 9 reasons why, when it comes to Porsches, listicles are like eating empty calories. I’d do 10, but I ran out of space. Not that it really matters.

1. The top three road-going Porsches I wish I had enough money to buy when they were new, because I still covet them and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to drive them, much less afford them.

7. Three reasons I’d pick a Porsche Turbo over an Audi R8 or a Lamborghini Huracan.

Resale value. Jump seats. A usable front trunk.

8. The weirdest factory colors for new Porsches, without customization.

Lava orange. Chalk. Miami blue. I’m not making this up.

9. The amount of horsepower which is too much for the street.

Ha ha. Trick question. You can never have too much power.

And you can cite Mark Donahue for that.

I rest my case. Welcome to the new new journalism. Listicles forever.

The 904, the Carrera GT and the 918.
