Good-bye 2009.
I had such a great time with you. I made it out to as many of the local events as possible, and even a drive to Nebraska to conquer some corn. I saw amazing cars, met amazing people, and went on some perfect drives. From heading to the top of Mt Evans for a sunrise to cruising with a convoy to a get together in Denver, the miles I racked up on the A4 were great. Even the long drive to Nebraska was worth every minute. We here at EuroBerge want to thank each and every one of you enthusiasts for making this last year great as well. Without you all thinking up new ideas for events and getting out there and supporting the multiple groups, we would most likely be doing something else to annoy our significant others. All the events from this past year were great, and we loved attending and covering each event we attended. I personally am making it a goal to get out to more shows and get-togethers for 2010, so if you see me, don’t be too shy. 2009 saw a great increase in the number of attendees to the local events. Between numbers and variety, each get together was anew adventure in itself. The highlight for me was when the SMART car mafia rolled up in force to the event in Parker back in February. These little cars were not the typical enthusiasts vehicles I have come to be used to seeing; they were a welcome site for more variety and flair. The number of people in attendance was also mind blowing at times, with multiple clubs making treks to the events in convoys, and turning the larger events into meeting places for their smaller events. It was a great way for everyone to meet everybody else and see the amazing cars that came out. Other events were the highlight of the year in Colorado, such as Dubs Along the
ERIK MELANDER
Rockies in Colorado Springs, the Rocky Mountain BMW Club’s Spring Drive, and the many small events hosted by clubs like MetroDubs and Mini5280. It was amazing to see the variety of events that were available for everyone to attend almost every weekend. What is even more amazing is that compared to 2008, I personally think attendance was up this last year, even with the tough economy at times. It isn’t about the clubs, the ride, the horsepower, or the ride height. It is about being an enthusiast that brings us all together. What else made 2009 great? Well, the magazine grew in size, bringing you more photos, more articles, and more coverage. We also hosted our first ever fan appreciation contest, sponsored by some great local shops and companies. Four very lucky people walked away with great prizes just for being our fan on Facebook!. None of us, including myself, ever thought that what started out at ten pages of writing and pictures would grow to be what EuroBerge is today. I continue to see more and more cars sporting the EuroBerge stickers as I drive around, and to be honest, nothing could make me happier. Thank you all for your support for what we do; we couldn’t do it without you. In this issue, we are excited to bring you articles covering the new Porsche Panamera, coverage of Oct’Dubber Fest, a look at one stupid ugly car, some great photos, ice racing information, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we loved putting it together, and I personally look forward to seeing everyone out on the road.

PORSCHE

When I think of the name Porsche, and their vehicles , images of a small, fast two-door wonders come to mind. This image has been the staple of the Porsche brand for years, and even after the creation of the Cayanne, that image defined the Porsche brand. This overpowered SUV was perfect for, well, someone. I haven’t quite figured that one out. But this past year, Porsche did something that really threw a wrench into many enthusiast’s comfort zones. The Panamera. Who would have ever thought
way safely. You could tell from these photos that this car was not designed for a lazy drive down I-25 with the kids and the dog. It was not until mid-October that I received a call from our good friends at Ed Caroll in Fort Collins, letting me know that the Panamera was in and ready for a little drive. It was at this point that I realized I was actually excited to see this creation despite my previous thoughts on it. It was the breaking of the mold that Porsche had set over the past decades that made it even
that in our lifetime we would see a four-door Porsche sedan? Not myself, that is for sure. When I first saw photos of the Panamera and the media material, I was not overly impressed. The car looked massive in these photos, almost as if all they did was make the Cayanne lower and longer. What did intrigue me in these photos was the interior design in the photos. It was a little exciting to think that a brave individual could potentially strap the family into all four seats and hit High Planes Race-
more intriguing. I wish I could put to words what my first impressions truly were, but I don’t really think the words actually exist. This phrase, as overplayed as it is, is honest. I was speechless. Those photos, and even the commercials, did not capture this car’s true beauty. I might go on a limb and say even the photos we are providing have done very little to show you just how awesome this car looks in person. I had an initial fear that the body and inte-
January Melick 2010 13 Š richard
rior would be shared with the Audi A8L, but was pleasantly surprised to say I this was not the case. Everything about the car screamed “FAST,” from the angling of the headlights to the aggressive lines used to shape the body. The headlights had the new Porsche styling to them, reminding me quite a bit to the Carrera GT, but with a sharper edge in the front. The rear hatch design sloped down, keeping with the standard styling of the coupes. Oddly enough though, it was the ride height that really caught my attention and surprised me. In all the promotional material I read before, I got the impression that the vehicle was tall, or as many would state, 4x4 status. But, again, I was wrong about the car. It looked great, and its stance was nice and low. Honestly, I think in these first 10 minutes of being around the Panamera, I didn’t say one thing, which is huge for those that know me. The interior was perfect, just as I had imagined it would be. I had thrown my back out that week and was still in quite a bit of pain, but as soon as I sat in the Panamera’s front seat, the pain was gone, and I mean totally gone. The cockpit controls were laid out in a clean fashion, with everything being at my fingertips. Having watched the evolution of technology in cars, it has always been a concern of mine of when the technology would become too distracting. But within 5 minutes of being inside this car, I was able to easily find the controls for every function possible without looking, which is a key aspect when driving. The attention to detail inside the car reminded me I was in
euroberge
a Porsche. Nothing was overlooked, not even the back seat. I was able to fit very comfortably in the back with plenty of leg room. The seats having the same support the front seats offered. And to put it in perspective, I was sitting next to Ed Carrol’s tallest employee, who was had ample legroom as well. I would venture to say I have more space in the back of the Panamera than in the back of my Suburban, but this is not based on any fact. I left that day with a sense of excitement, knowing later that week I was going to be able to take this massive Porsche out for a little drive. And when that day came, we were all sitting around in anticipation,
waiting for the car to be pulled out from the show room. The tone that the engine produced as it was pulled up next to us was a deep almost muffled longing to be unleashed on the open road. It was a nice little rumble, subtle enough to hint at the power inside, but not be obnoxious to the passer-by. I had to remind myself this was a fourdoor saloon, but I knew that if everything before had surprised me, the drive would probably do so as well. And I was right. Nothing prepared me for the ride of this care. Having driven an Audi A8 and a few other full size sedans, I had this preconceived notion that it would be cumbersome right away. As I pulled out of the lot and onto the side streets, I knew this idea was wrong. The Panamera did not drive like a full size car; it had the feel of finely tuned sports car, only with a few extra seats. It grabbed the road with every turn and roared as I put the gas down, but maintained total comfort for all passengers inside. I never felt like the car was about to lose that comfort either, even as it was pushed harder. Nothing about driving this car felt like the typical full size sedan. This was a sports car, a beast on the road. The Porsche Panamera has broken the mold of typical Porsche branding, and while many claim it is not a true Porsche and has lost its heritage, I feel that these preconceived notions are wrong. This car is amazing on the road and delivers the full performance expected from the German carmaker, while also ensuring the complete comfort of everyone inside. While it may not be the car for everyone, it definitely has its place in the enthusiast world. I can only hope to one day see this car tearing up the track somewhere in Colorado.

Ice
Racing Colorado
Cold weather usually means the end of the race season, but for one group of Colorado Motorsports Enthusiasts, January is just the start of their race season. For over thirty years, Our Gang Ice Racing has hosted ice races on Colorado’s own Georgetown Lake nestled in the Rocky Mountains. This extreme winter sport is something that drivers of all levels can become involved in. Our Gang Ice Racing has grown and developed over its thirty-year history, but through the years the club still maintains its one-of-a-kind racing style that should not be missed. Our Gang offers a variety of classes for drivers to participate in. To drive in one of Our Gangs events throughout the winter month’s drivers must have an all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle and a valid driver’s license. There are three divisions and each is broken up into separate classes. The Competition Division, the Pro-Street Division, and the Street Stock Division are all ran throughout the winter events. The Competition Division runs highly modified specialty four-wheel drive vehicles. Competition Division runs three different types of tire classes: bolts, studs and
22
bare rubber. Pro-Street are street legal vehicles that may be modified and has classes with studs and bare rubber. Street Stock Division runs only bare rubber tires, that cannot be studded or specialty ice tires. (i.e. Soft Compound, Blizzak, etc.). Street Stock Division is open to anyone who owns a four wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles; anything from Jeep,Subaru, BMW’s and Audi. All of the races are run with single elimination. To promote safety the cars race on a closed circuit half a lap from each other. There is no vehicle contact allowed while on the lake. Spectators are always free to watch. If the Colorado winter is getting you down because of the lack of racing events; remember that you can always head up to Georgetown Lake to watch or even participate in winter racing at its finest. For more information and for a complete listing of rules and regulations, as well as a schedule of events, please visit www.ourgangiceracing.com or contact Our Gang directly at Our_Gang_4_Wheelers@yahoo.com. Potential Participants can also become a fan of Our Gang Ice Racing on the social networking site Facebook for all of the latest information.

On November 21st, Intrigue Detail and Club Auto in Lakewood, CO played host to the unveiling of one of the most amazing vehicles to come from Germany in years: the Gumpert Apollo. This street legal race car does not share the same elegant design concepts as many of the other super cars to come from Europe, and in facts breaks the idea of just what a street car should look like. But there is one thing this car has plenty of: power. Well, and aggressive lines. When we were invited out for the unveiling of this amazing vehicle, which to this point had only been seen by most on the
television and Internet, we all were ecstatic. And the crew over at Intrigue Detail kept feeding into our excitement with little tidbits here and there. Ronnie Renaldi even had the gull to throw teaser photos up of the car on most the forums we all frequent. How could we not be excited for this event? It was impossible, that is for sure. An added bonus to the unveiling was Intrigue Detail’s goal to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation through the auctioning off chances to ride in the Gumpert, and a possibility to drive the car the next day. This kind of opportunity will only come
29
to a select few, especially seeing as only two of the Apollos are currently in the United States. Needless to say, this was an event that nobody should have missed. The Club Auto building was packed with enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds, from the Corvette Mafia to the Hot Rodders. There were well over 300 people in attendance, and to see this massive crowd gathered around a single closed garage door was impressive to say the least. It was quite funny to actually watch as peo-
30
ple paid more attention to the closed bay door, waiting for the Gumpert Apollo to pop out, than the amazing array of vehicles around them. And when that door started to open, none of those other cars mattered. This was the moment everyone was waiting for. The Gumpert’s traffic-stopping orange paint peeked through as the door started to raise. The building was silent as we all waited for the engine to start up, and it seemed to be a lifetime of waiting until the monster came to life. The growl of the twin
turbo 4.2L V-8 roared out of the little bay as it started to pull out. It was a loud, deep growl, but not to the point of being bad on the ears. This thing sounded like a tiger chained up in a cage, dying to get into its natural element, out on the road, devouring pavement. This was one magnificent sounding car. As it pulled out, I will admit I didn’t even notice the ugliness of it. Yes, I did say ugly, because it is just that. This thing was not meant to win any beauty contests, but was designed to stay on the ground
and eat up whatever pavement was in its way. But the sound, the pure growl that came from this car, was breathtaking. After it pulled out and the engine was cut, I finally realized that I loved the car. Not for its looks, that’s for sure, but the nature of the beast. It was designed for the track, and just happened to be street legal. It was not like the Ferraris or Corvettes in its vicinity, which have a sense of elegance covering the power. Instead, this car had the look that the body was just built around the engine and
January 2010
31
drive train, and was designed only to keep this thing from taking off. And the interior was another animal in itself. It was bare minimum when it came to comforts. In the world of high end cars, many buyers would expect all sorts of gadgets and doodads to entertain them while driving. This car on the other hand was total function over form. Everything was set up to help the driver, such as the rear-view camera to replace the missing rear-view mirror. The few pieces of comfort that were visible were apparently borrowed from Audi, but who is to complain. Seating was a bit odd, as my head popped up above the roof line when finally seated comfortably, again keeping with the race track setup. You wouldn’t be driving this thing to the grocery store or to dinner, and if you were, well, that would be badass. This thing was pure race, pure speed, pure street destruction. All in all, the night was a great success for everyone in attendance. Intrigue Detail raised over $2000 in less than 3 hours for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and many lucky enthusiasts from Colorado were able to see first hand one amazing car. For most, the chance will never come again unless they buy one. But if you are one of the lucky few to get the chance to see, ride in, and drive this ugly beast, feel special as you are then part of a very select crowd.

7th Annual
Yalla Yalla
Article by: Chuck Maybee Photos by: Erik Melander When asked why a mountaineer climbs the often heard response is “Because its there”. Explorers will say they do what they do because no one has done it before. And Formula 1 drivers report the rush of adrenalin they get just before the start as the reason for their pastime. Considerably less demanding physically, closer to home and far less risky, MINI5280 members choosing to undertake a day of Yalla Yalla share a lot of the same motivations as the mountaineer, explorer and F1 driver. Yalla Yalla; even the typing of the name brings to mind soft south pacific breezes, lush green jungles and attractive natives bearing umbrella covered spiked fruit drinks. Yalla Yalla is a phrase reportedly derived from a modified interpretation of a language similar to Balinese loosely translated to mean “wander about”. MINI5280 has borrowed this phrase (or at least the general spirit of it) as the name of our annual celebration for the founding of the club and the release of the new MINI both in 2002. The usual premise of the event is to wander about our glorious Colorado back roads answering pointless questions and following obscure clues until eventually the finish is found and great prizes are awarded. Symbolically this adventure represents the January 2010
state of the world after the classic Mini was discontinued – aimlessly wandering about without a clear path – until through great efforts and much market research the new MINI is born. OK I know that was a stretch but the event does involve an unknown route, a lot of quiz questions and some music This year our theme was “Country Wandering” and while this theme in its most literal interpretation was obvious, the 36 MINI participants soon realized that, like the rest of Yalla Yalla, first impressions are usually wrong. Leaving the RTD Lincoln Station in Lonetree, CO our route on Sunday October 18th took most down south towards Castle Rock, CO armed with a partial route quiz, a music quiz, a flag quiz and scavenger hunt list. It was at Castle Rock, after 15 miles of MINI following MINI that things began to get interesting. Half the drivers were instructed to turn east while the others turned west. How many actually accomplished this maneuver without increased stress and a sudden lack of self-confidence is unknown. Needless to say this is where the true Yalla Yalla was experienced. Down both sides of the course drivers were frantically searching for scavenger hunt items and
counting words in songs on the supplied music CD. Obscure route directions leading to obscure clues were their only help until reaching the midpoint check-in where the drivers were assured they had at least navigated correctly. Here the drivers received the second half of their route clues, grabbed some water and candy and most missed the hunt item found on a nearby Bush. Continuing the course those who were on the west now were on the east and those from the east continued back on the west. The towns of Elizabeth, Kiowa, Monument, Palmer and Sedalia saw wandering MINIs for most of the day and a few residents were stopped by distressed participants looking for clues and answers. A local fire station even had their mundane Sunday interrupted by stopping MINIs where some participants tried to convince the fire fighters that according to the hunt list, a hunky fireman was needed to do a shirtless photo. Naughty MINI. As the autumn sun began to disappear behind the Colorado Rockies and the blue-sky 70-degree day came to a close MINIs found and began collecting at the finish venue. Over glasses of lager and cups of tea drivers were heard comparing notes, adventures and sights from the day. Our sponsors this year included Ralph Schomp MINI, Detailers Paradise, RideMakerz, American MINI Mates, MINI Mania, Cool MINI Stuff, OutMotoring, Craven Speed, Kim’s World Travel, Aesthetic Creations, Moss Motors and MINI of Loveland. These fine sponsors donated over $2,500 in prizes and many a MINI driver walked away with something more than a fine day of motoring. Still the intent of the event is to enjoy your MINI in the company of other MINI owners while taking advantage of the beautiful Colorado country. Mission accomplished by all reports. Happy anniversary MINI and happy motoring.

October shines the greatest colors of the season; leaves turn to brilliant shades of golden yellow and blaring red along side acre fields filled with shimmering orange pumpkins. For many though, the tenth month bellows pink; a color that represents a deeper meaning to those who have family and friends affected by breast cancer. October stands for one of the largest campaigns for breast cancer awareness providing education and research across the country. Providing assistance to such knowledge and future treatment, one of Denver’s local carassociations, MetroDubs teamed with Tynan’s Volkswagen of Aurora to host an automotive-focused affair. The show-n-shine geared event was more a snow-n-bundleup as the low cloudiness hovered over the southeast metro area. Bone-chilling temperatures kept a lot of onlookers huddling around warm opened hoods and resting on heated seats. Overnight snowfall did wonders of putting Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) sanding trucks on alert, which desecrated all hopes of a clean drive to the event. However, over 50 vehicles showed up for the fund-raising crusade. Dedicated winter cars became the show cars wearing the best snow-biting tires and winter accessories of racks and attachments. In attendance were several first and second generation Scirocco’s, by the side of rare OEM paint colors on newer generation watercooled platforms. Despite the brisk temps, a handful of vendors were on display next to Tynan’s recently acquired
54
55
sixth-generation (MK6) GTI three-door hatchback and Jetta Sportwagen. GnG Motorsports and Bluewater Performance squared off with their MK4 .:R32’s with parts and services for the VAG-community. The Wasabi Racing Team showcased their scuffed racecar from their recent endeavor with Miller Motorsports Park and video telemetry highlights over the 2009 season. Peak EuroSport was on-site with staff to field technical questions, and GoFast Sports showcased their latest energy drink. Upon the massive freezing of limbs and fingers, focus of the event turned to purchasing raffle tickets for the chance of winning top-notch automotive components, apparel and novelty items. Several local companies provided prizes for the charity raffle, such as Peak Eurosport, Hardey’s Motorworks, GoFast Sports, and Autobahn Premier Service. Nationally know suppliers graciously contributed awards including APR, KW Suspensions, C2 Motorsports, Unitronic, Borla Exhaust, German Auto Parts, European Plates, Bride Seats, 4Ever Kustoms, Black Forest Industries, 20Squard, Old Car Art, VolksBaggin, Vision Bulbs, Shift Style, and Power Flex Suspension components. Ticket prices were bracketed into two discrete categories for large value items of several hundred dollars. Ticket sales were only open for a few hours, which drew a close around the mid-afternoon to allow the drawing to commence. Several items can warm the soul, including a tall mug of hot cocoa or a warm snuggle blanket. Yet this event brought that good feeling through generous giving and financial support. The fourth Oct’Dubberfest supported ongoing research and treatment for those with breast cancer; the total collected for the Susan G. Komen Foundation was $1,053.
56
Cold-weather or not, MetroDubs is already shooting for high 2010 totals. Expected values were affected with the overcast mid-20’s Saturday, but Jon Baker is anticipating for continued support and growth. “I think that with the press we have gotten about this event, better planning with local news and SGK [Susan G. Komen Foundation] … (we can) tentatively (expect) $2,500”. Until then, volunteers for the event can thaw out and regain feeling to their extremities, hoping that 2010 brings a warmer weekend and a greater impact for ongoing cancer studies.

ph tography
“ISOlating Between Low and High Measures” Lets all admit it; even myself included. When we first saw ISO on our digital camera, we thought that it was a word and not an abbreviation. And the fact we all tried to use such an abbreviation in a coherent sentience such as “what’s your iso setting”. Yes, we’ve all been wrong. ISO is the International Organization for Standardization, which is a sanctioned group of representative leaders from various national standard institutes. They create specific equations and instruments for benchmark scaling systems. The standard measurement that digital still-shot camera photographers deal with is ISO 12232. ISO 12232 refers to light sensitivity recording or properly identified as film speed. Film speed is the rating at which how fast light permeates onto film to create an image. The arithmetic scale (or known as the American National Standards Industry [ANSI] scale) is vast covering wide range from the value of 6 to 102400 in certain set increments. Blowing right through the math and history of the standard lets cut to the point: the lower the value of film speed, the longer it takes light to create such
64
an image picked up by a camera’s sensor system. The faster the film speed, the more noticeable level of grain will be produced in the image. Grain provides pixel definition and separation between lines and hues. But with a higher film speed, color separation can be spotty and not fluid or gradual from color to color. Film speed has a couple of different purposes and properties based on lighting requirements and lens equipment. When shooting in low-light scenarios, low film speed can be used to capture the softness of the object, such as still life or landscapes. However the shutter time will be long to obtain appropriately exposed imag-
es. If the object is moving in low light, but want to obtain a crisp image snapshot with no motion blur, the film speed is bumped up to allow the shutter to be opened for less time capturing the refracted light faster. This increase of film speed can assist in providing a properly lit image without discarding desired aperture setting to one’s depth of field liking or reducing shutter speed to induce unwanted blur. To see the affects of exposure rate due to changed film speed, turn your manual shoot settings to fix an aperture and shutter length. Shoot a photo at a low speed film speed, like 100, and then shoot another photo of the same object at 1600+. Notice that

the high-speed film exposure is brighter because due to the film’s ability to burn-in an image faster over the same period of time. After sampling different lighting sources, now adjust to aperture priority (fixes the f-stop) and allow the shutter speed to float accordingly by the camera’s processor. Shoot an object of interest again both in 100 and 1600+ film speeds. Notice that the camera’s processor will decrease the length of shutter speed as the film speed is increased to capture the nearly identical exposed photo. However compare the graininess of the image with the images at actual size, either electronically or in print. Film speed can be used to expand your available shooting range when lower aperture lenses or lighting is unavailable. Yet, it is a double-edged sword trading image grain with exposure rate. Experiment and compare with static and panning shooting skill, both with tripod versus handheld (assuming no image-stabilization) to achieve preferred personal techniques and results.
