Blu’s Millionth Mile Party

Guy Newmark and his friend Jill Fox celebrated his 1964 Porsche 356C coupé—Blu’s—millionth mile on Thursday, 6 October 2016 from 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM at Brouwerij West in San Pedro.

Shortly after being featured in the 356 Registry’s magazine3, Blu was tragically stolen from Guy’s San Pedro home. Miraculously (because the thieves didn’t know how to start a 356) Blu was found a few days later at the bottom of the hill.

The party

There were two food trucks, assorted microbrews and a band playing ‘60s music (although none by famous 356C owner Janis Joplin).

Several Porsches of assorted vintages (and one Lamborghini) awaited Blu. The Lamborghini’s owner keeps a yacht which placed well in the Volvo Ocean Race next to Guy’s boat.

Blu’s Arrival

Blu was a bit late for his party: Guy managed to park with precisely 1 million miles on the odometer after skillfully travelling the last 30 miles with a German filmmaker.

A Million Miles

Guy sells boats. A lot of those miles came chasing signatures for contracts in the days before fax machines were everywhere.

In a million miles, Blu could have made:

1. Two round trips to the moon, 2. One trip Around the World, 3. One trip to the corners of the USA (including the Dalton Highway of Ice Road Trucker fame, 4. Driven to New York for the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, 5. Driven home from Redondo Beach,

And still have 136 miles to go!

Automotive Journalist Brock Yates, 1933-2016

Automotive Journalist Brock Yates passed away on Wednesday, 5 October 2016 from complications of Alzheimer’s. He edited Car and Driver editor and founded the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash from New York City to Redondo Beach, In November 1971 Yates and Dan Gurney won the first Cannonball covering 2,863 miles in 35 hours and 54 minutes in a Ferrari Daytona (at no time exceeding 175 mph).

A recurring theme of Yates nonfiction work has been the way American automotive management has frequently grown arrogant, lost touch with its markets, and failed to respond to changing public needs and tastes, technology, and energy and environmental concerns.

Yates wrote the screenplay for The Cannonball Run movie and co-wrote Smokey and the Bandit II with director and stuntman Hal Needham

Oktoberfeste

Oktoberfest began as the celebration of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s (later King Ludwig I8) marriage to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 17, 1810.9 The Bavarians enjoyed the party, but decided that October was too cold, so they moved it to September. Oktoberfest seems to combine well with German cars (wenn Sie nicht zu viel trinken Bier).

There are lots of Oktoberfeste to choose from:

182nd Oktoberfest in München, 17 September through 3 October 2016 Obviously, the one in Munich is the original. One might expect Mädchen im Dirndl, there’s also Armbrustschützen und Scheibenschießen10. It all takes place at die Theresienwiese im Zentrum von München.

Oktoberfest Phoenix Club, Weekends, 16 September through 30 October 2016 The Phoenix Club, 1340 S. Sanderson Avenue, Anaheim, California 92806, phone 714.563.4166

Friday: 6:00 PM until Midnight Saturday: 5:00 PM until Midnight Sunday: 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM

They’ll feature Bavaria’s Allgäu Yetis und Odenwälder Dirndljaeger11. The air rifle range will be open 6:00 PM Saturdays and 1:00 PM Sundays.

Oktoberfest Alpine Village, Weekends, 16 September through 30 October 2016 Alpine Village Center, 833 West Torrance Blvd, Torrance, CA 90502, phone 310.327.4384

Friday: 6:00 PM-midnight Saturday: 5:00 PM-midnight Sunday: 1:00 PM-6:00 PM

They encourage patrons to buy tickets online.

8 Ludwig I was not “Mad King Ludwig”—that was his grandson, Ludwig II. Ludwig I was essentially overthrown in 1848 shortly after he attempted to tax beer. 9 From wikipedia.org 10 The first athlete disqualified from the Olympics for doping was a Swedish modern pentathlete who had “two beers” to “calm his nerves” before the pistol shooting portion at the 1968 Olympics. 11 Not to be confused with the Original Dirndljäger.
