It will be a wonderful Barbara who had also called and offered to buy the car “as is” opportunity to meet Porsche lovers without an inspection. So I told the couples that I’d call them and car enthusiasts from across the country. I expect to see a lot back if his offer fell through. I called the Santa Barbara gentleman of SBR members attending, so don’t forget to pre-register so that who wanted to purchase it “as is” and told him the car was his you can customize your trip to maximize your enjoyment and if he could pay for it that day. He arrived about 7:30 pm, and drive on some roads you haven’t seen before. it was already dark.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK John Alfenito ur club is fortunate to have Oso many members willing to assist in the production of this magazine each month. A lot of work goes on behind- the-scenes making sure each of our many events is covered in these pages. Every activity needs someone to write the story; and of course, there must be pictures!

We’re especially lucky to have a cadre of fine photographers in our ranks. You see their work every month right here in Der Auspuff. Some, like Ron Willliams, are actually professional photographers, but many are not. Most, like me, are simply people who love to take pictures. Plus, it’s not the camera, it’s the picture. For example, a few I know I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: I welcome shots in this edition were captured with my trusty iPhone 5, all submissions of photography to this publication. I like to think including the sunset image above (from our movie night at our standards are high (I mean, just look at the photos in this Rusnak) and the close-up photo on this month’s cover! month’s issue), but that should only serve as an inspiration for you to contribute in the future. So, point and shoot...and then, submit!

The rallyists spent some and challenging event full of twists and Clark Gable’s 1935 Duesenberg) and time joking and laughing about >>>>>> turns, and we don’t mean only the driving- in-a-Porsche part.

With the help of AAA, where we got maps to cut up and paste together, and Google Maps to make sure there were no deadends to get stuck in, we charted out a potential course. Then we took the drive and feverishly wrote down possible clues. The rest is Porsche History.

We didn’t want to make the rally too difficult or frustrating, so we decided that all the answers to the clues had to start with either a number or a letter between A and Z. (Okay, Jerry’s students don’t always find humor in this either.)

The participants met, bright and early, at Rusnak Porsche Westlake Village, who treated them to a yummy breakfast from Corner Bakery. By 9 am, after some simple instructions (like “This is not a race!”), the drivers were handed their itineraries with clues, and off they went, all 44 Porsches.

Then everyone sat down to have a delicious BBQ lunch cooked by Q-time BBQ Grill & Catering. People walking by and smelling 101 the tri-tip and chicken were not allowed to stay -- not that they didn’t try. With a very impressive score of 101 out of a possible 111, first place honors went to Mike & Laura Whittington. Joining the club members this time were folks from as far away as the Inland Empire and San Diego. We guess they wanted to see how much fun we in the Santa Barbara group have on our events, and we showed them! There were a few minor glitches, though. The pink flying pig on a pole in rural Box Canyon was painted lavender last week. No one told us! The clue “A good place to find trees” was supposed to be the tract called “The Woodlands.” Right, but it happened to be on the corner of Avenida de los Arboles. Point taken. Then there was the Farmer’s Market happening right on our route. It was there that many of our dear Porsche people suffered nasty remarks and even finger gestures from impatient road- ragers who thought Porsches should never go 5 mph. They even called them “old Coming in second, Jack Rabell and Dick Rafter from the San Diego Region, both of ladies.” It is easy to recognize jealousy whom are rally champions. The Gimmick Rally was something new for them. when you see it.

We were quite impressed with the multitude of high scores on the Gimmick Rally. It seemed apparent that fun was had by all. The weather was great, the food was super and the camaraderie was awesome. Just another fine day in a Porsche. =

After correctly answering a tie-breaking question, Jeffry Waxman & Lisa Serby took home third prize.

AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2014

An exciting and unique driving experience along America’s fabled Route 66 awaits us as we travel to Arizona for a five-day, four-night adventure into the past over the Labor Day weekend. Touch the “Mother Road” that brought migrants from the Midwest and the East to California, the promised land. Visit the towns and villages that dotted the roadway on the longest stretch of the original highway still in existence. Explore the Grand Canyon Caverns and come up close to exotic animals at the Wild Animal Park & Sanctuary. Tour the old western mining town of Oatman, Arizona, where the descendants of the burros that worked in the mines in the late 1800s freely roam the town greeting visitors with a friendly “hee-haw,” begging for carrots and other donkey treats. Navigate a breath-taking drive on old Route 66 to the town of Oatman, then cool off that evening with a river boat dinner cruise on the Colorado River. Test your luck or enjoy a show at the many riverside casinos, and share several meals with your fellow SBR members. The cost of the trip covers four group dinners, including the dinner cruise along the Colorado River, one lunch, plus fees for the Kingman museums, as well as the Grand Canyon Caverns and Wild Animal Park entry and tour fees.

20 DER AUSPUFF JUNE 2014 THE R.U.F. REPORT STORY BY JEANNE MCNAIR PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE A Colorful Visit To Descanso Gardens ne of the pleasures of living in Southern California, besides the beautiful weather, is the plethora of year-round venues to visit that afford interesting history in lovely surroundings.O Sixteen R.U.F. members shared that experience when we visited Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge on April 17, 2014.

We were led on a walking tour by our guide, Joe Sinclair, who has been volunteering at the gardens for 35 years and who had a store of interesting anecdotes to share with us.

The weather was very mild and sunny as we traversed through the 60,000-plus camellias (most in bloom), azaleas, and myriad flower gardens. Among other special floriculture, we saw the large lilac garden filled with specially bred plants for the Southern California climate.

We learned about the long history of this location, dating back 10,000 years when Native Americans lived on the land as hunters and gatherers through the Spanish land grant of 36,000 acres to Corporal Jose Maria Verdugo in 1784. The modern history of the property began in 1937 when it was purchased by E. Manchester Boddy, who in 1938 named the estate “Rancho del Descanso” and proceeded to develop the wonderful array of flora that exists today.

Mr. Boddy built a 22-room mansion in the Hollywood Regency style for his personal residence, which our group was privileged to tour. With its grand- scale rooms and large bay windows, it was evocative of an earlier, affluent lifestyle. The beautiful setting of the house makes it a very popular wedding venue today.

Mr. Boddy had many horticultural interests. In addition to the vast camellia collection, there is a beautiful rose garden and hundreds of trees from all over the world. The ranch was sold to the County of Los Angeles by the Boddys in the 1950s. Although Mr. Boddy was unsuccessful in opening his ranch for public tours (it was opposed by neighbors surrounding the property), the sale eventually led to a public - private partnership between Los Angeles County and the Descanso Gardens Guild, which eventually opened this treasure to the public.

Following our very pleasant interlude in the Gardens, we traveled a short distance to Green Street restaurant in Pasadena for a delicious lunch and the opportunity to visit with friends. =

JUNE 2014 DER AUSPUFF 23 Celebrate The 4th of July The Old-Fashioned Way With A Parade! …not by simply watching it from the sidelines but by being a part of it! Our club will slowly cruise down Santa Barbara’s State Street past the large crowd lining the boulevard with our Porsches decorated in 4th of July red, white, and blue finery. (A large part of the fun and camaraderie of this day is actually decorating our cars at the staging area alongside our fellow PCA/SBR members.) Two years ago, the Porsche Club was invited to take part in Santa Barbara’s 50th Annual 4th of July parade. We had such a good time that we decided to participate again last year. The Porsches were so popular that parade officials moved our position from the back of the 2012 parade to the front of the 2013 parade! Porsche Club members who participated agreed that they had the time of their lives. We waved to and interacted with kids of ALL ages dressed in their finest 4th of July costumes. There’s something about a pack of colorful Porsches that drives the crowd wild, and the cheers drowned out the roar of our engines. Cost for this day of fun is practically free – only a $5.00 per person activity fee. Please send your checks, made out to PCA/SBR, to our parade coordinator, Nadine Tracy, at the address below. As the parade officials do not decide staging locations until we get closer to the 4th of July, all of you who sign up will receive additional information as soon as it’s transmitted to Nadine. You can plan on meeting mid-morning to line up alongside the parade route. Details of other Santa Barbara 4th of July celebratory events and activities following the parade will be given to you by Nadine as soon as they are made public. Mark your calendars and remember the date – although, frankly, the 4th of July is hard to forget! Be certain to contact Nadine and sign up early to reserve your spot in the parade. Fill out the form below and mail it with your check today.

PORSCHE PARADE 2O14 IN BEAUTIFUL MONTEREY

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

Keen observers may have noticed that Madam President Doreen Pankow is driving a (new-to-her) familiar-looking, Midnight Blue1995 993 C2 these days. Also, Gary & Phyllis Weaver are cruisin’ a (new-to-them) 2005 Turbo Cabriolet. What’s going on here? Simple, really. Gary found the Cab (with the help of Dave Mosesson) in Arizona. A quick plane ride over, and the deal was done. When Doreen heard that Gary was selling his beautiful 993, she jumped, but she had to sell her 1990 964 first. As you can read in her column this month (page 4), that was easy. So, Doreen acquired Weavers’ 993. Just another reason being in SBR is great!
