The Porsche consultant spent about an hour with me going over all the buttons, switches, menus, etc. He then told me it was time for the factory tour and asked me to drive the car out to the customer parking lot. In a daze, I carefully, slowly, gingerly made my way out of the showroom behind the wheel of my new Porsche. What a rush!

The factory tour lasted about an hour, showing how they produce 200 cars a day in Stuttgart. It was awe-inspiring to see a line of various Porsches (Carreras, At the Porsche Museum, Michael posed with “the father” of his car, a 1965 911 in Turbos, Boxsters, Cabriolets, Targas, left/ graphite gray. right-hand drives) being built without a hiccup. Following the tour, we were treated to a wonderful lunch overlooking the new Porsche museum. I was then informed I would need to drive the car from the factory customer lot to the front doors of the museum for a photo op and special guided tour. The new museum is incredible, especially compared to its previous incarnation several years ago. Of the approximately 500 cars the museum has, they display only about 100 at any given time. They even had the father of my car on display, a 1965 911 in graphite gray.

After the incredible experience of receiving my car, touring the factory, eating a gourmet lunch, and viewing the museum, it was time to drive. My sister The new 991 in front of the Porsche Michael meets his new car at the and I put 989 miles on the car driving to Museum. Porsche factory delivery center. Berlin, Hannover, and back to Stuttgart the following Tuesday. We visited family and friends, saw many sights and, of course, drove fast on the autobahn. We even had time to take a 911 family portrait with some of my friends’ Porsches.

Driving a Porsche (especially brand new from the factory) on the autobahn is an experience I wish every PCA member could experience. As I dropped the car off, Porsche indicated that delivery time from Stuttgart to Rusnak Westlake Porsche (the receiving dealer) would take 6-10 weeks. Again, patience, but well worth the wait. =

Several SBR members competed in the concours and scored quite well in a very competitive field.

Speaking of competing...our region came home from parade with a wealth of awards. At Tuesday evening’s “Concours Ban- quet,” SBR was named PCA Region of the Year and the Ferry Porsche Trohpy was presented to President Doreen Pankow, who accepted the honors as more than 25 of her fellow SBR members stood by her side. It was a stunning moment for all of us attending as the exploits and accomplishments of the winner were described prior to the region being identified. As the emcee listed the activites, charity work, weekend trips, and past accom- plishments, those of us from SBR were looking at one another, wondering if those familiar exploits were ours. Happily, it turned out that they were, and the announcement of Santa Barbara Region as Region of the Year was met by enthusiastic applause (at least by our members). It was a great moment.

But, the kudos didn’t end there. Later in the week, SBR took second place in the National Public Service awards. 2013’s Der Auspuff editor, Mike Pomerantz, was awarded first place in Class IV of the National Newsletter competition. And throughout the week, other SBR members scored highly in a variety of events (see list on page 18).

Pam & I had a wonderful time. Parade was so much more than we expected. The week went very quickly, and before we knew it, Jeffry Waxman and his Art Show entry (top right). it was time to pack up the Porsche and head south. If you’ve ever considered attending a Porsche Parade, I would highly recom- mend it. We met so many wonderful people. And everything was made that much more enjoyable by the friendship and encour- agement of our friends from the Santa Barbara Region with whom we were able to spend so much time. It was a great week. I hope the pictures can give you a sense of what a parade has to offer. =

24 DER AUSPUFF JUNE 2014 Porsche’s 919 Hybrid All of this sounds a bit gloomy for Porsche’s prospects at Le Mans but is Continued from page 23 par for the course with a clean-sheet endurance race car design. Porsche’s competition from Toyota and Audi is formidable, but the team from Stuttgart has proven resilient in similar situations in the past. Even if the 919 were to be a total racing failure, technical data gleaned from its competition regime is sure to find its way into future Porsche street cars. Porsche has, of course, already offered hybrid Cayenne and Panamera models, but a hybrid/KERS system is almost guaranteed to be available in the 911 in the near future. Your author The Porsche 919 Hybrid System also predicts that the turbocharger energy recovery system (TERS, if you will) will find its way into future turbo models in an effort to eke out every caloric unit of energy possible from the . The hydraulically linked damper system is another probable transplant into Porsche’s top-end sports cars, as McLaren already offers such a system in its MP4-12C supercar. If anything, Porsche’s reemergence into top-level endurance racing is a strong endorsement of the company’s overall health. Some purists are dismayed at Porsche’s metamorphosis into a purveyor of SUVs and sedans, with sports cars only accounting for 50% of worldwide sales. Nonetheless, the highly profitable four- door market has allowed Porsche to return to its rightful place at the pinnacle of endurance racing. This will inevitably pave The shape was developed and the way to a bright future for the sports refined through extensive cars that we all know and love.

JUNE 2014 DER AUSPUFF 31 THE LAST WORD All In The Family, Part II

While checking in at Parade Headqua- ters in Monterey, our own James Oldham noticed there was another Oldham regis- tered, and his given name was Jim! James immediately went into “track- ing mode,” trying to find his namesake (not an easy task considering the 2000+ parade attendees). Finally, at Friday evening’s Autocross Banquet at the Carmel Mission, James and Jim Oldham came face-to-face. Jim Oldham (right) is from Boise, Idaho, and is a proud member of the Silver Sage Region. The “Oldham Boys” had a nice, long conversation, which will undoubtedly be a great parade memory for years to come.
