My Thoughts by Jan Mayo, Managing Editor

ave you been noticing (I’m sure you have) that Slipstream has some new Advertisers? The UPS Store joined us a couple months before Christmas. Maverick member Jeff Pohlman teased me a bit because the Pre-Christmas ad, mentioning Christmas and Hanukkah shipping, was inadvertently put back in for -DDXDU\ DQG )HEUXDU\ ,W·V À[HG QRZ VHH SJ In December RetroAir joined us. Wait a minute, Air Conditioning? Well, this is Texas and you do need to get ready for summer. It’s right around the corner. Rock %URZQLQJ ZRUNHG KDUG RQ KLV DG 6HH SJ This month we’ve added three new friends to our advertising roster. A&H Award Pro on pg 18 comes to us by way of our Goodie Store Sweetheart, Christy Dominick. Over the past month I have had the best time chatting with Doug Pruitt about his ad for American Garage Works. He’s so excited that he’s starting out with a quarter page ad and will soon enlarge to a half page. Look for it on pg 26.

Maverick Minutes by Lisa Steele, sitting in for Charlie Davis, Secretary ames called the meeting to order at 7:10ish PM. Due to some WUDIĂ€F DQG ZHDWKHU LVVXHV ZH were waiting for a few late comers. Just WR UHPLQG \RX &KDUOLHÂŤZH VWDUW %RDUG Meetings on Wednesdays next month. -DPHV VDLG WKDW WKH 1DWLRQDO %RDUG had a very nice time at Diego’s. We had a great attendance of our Maverick group with a total of about 120 people. FREE drinks‌What??? There was “a little miscommunicationâ€? among our President and the NaWLRQDO %RDUG ZLWK ZKR ZDV DFWXDOO\ UHVSRQVLEOH IRU SD\ing the bill at the end of the night. Well, James brought the receipt (guess who had to pay the bill?) and Clint made a motion for the club to cover the bill. There were no opposes, so now James has money to go buy new tires. YEA!!! James was full of bills because he also received the bill for the MAVPCA website of $95.52. Christy made a motion that this be a paid expense by the club each year. All agreed. The last item on James’ agenda was to discuss the book he had in his hands 2008 RPM – Regions Procedure Manual. This has all of the appropriate procedures that need to be followed for each event in the Porsche Club. The Pres would like for each Chairman in the club to read over their part to make sure all rules and regulations are being followed. This manual is on-line on the PCA website. I have already been reading about how to be the best hospitality hostess‌I certainly don’t want to break any rules. Clint has two wonderful tech sessions lined up; Park Place on April 5th DQG %RDUGZDON RQ 0D\ th. Clint also reported that the Sunday Drives are doing great and he would like to give “Sunday Driveâ€? shirts to those participants who have given a lot of time to these drives. Christy said that she would help get the shirts and the %RDUG DJUHHG WKDW WKH VKLUWV DUH D JUHDW LGHD +ROG WKH Press!!! Clint has announced that he has learned something‌Wait! It’s coming‌he learned that he is a Good Guy. He had some concerns about minors/teens and signed releases but Clint said that he would contact Lee Wilkins to clarify these laws.

Who is “Nationalâ€? by Wendy ShofďŹ t

ho do you complain to about the new seatbelt rule at Driver Education events? Who do you talk to if you want to change the rule to allow your 16-year old niece to participate in an autocross? National, of course. I say that with complete ease DQG FRQĂ€GHQFH EHFDXVH , NQRZ ZKDW LW PHDQV 'R \RX" ,I you don’t, I’ll explain it simply. “Nationalâ€? is our way of grouping all the people within PCA who have accepted a national chairmanship. These positions include Insurance Chair, Zone Representatives, Club Race Chair, DE Chair, Sponsorship Chair, Parade Chair, etc. It also includes our elected President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer, and Past PresPCA Vice President ident. I can’t even tell you Kurt Gibson how many people there are, but they’re listed in Panorama and on the pca.org website. These people live all over the country and are giving their time and energy to make our club great.

Sandra Mayr comes from Germany as Porsche Club Coordinator Team Leader

Diego’s in Solana, right next to the Marriott hotel where most of everyone was staying. Diego’s, as you might guess from the name, is a delightful Mexican food restaurant. They seemed to handle our large group well. In total we were around 100, including a good number of local region members. The food was outstanding and the conversation was even better! National staffers love getting to know the locals.

I’ve been to seven Parades (and counting) and during that time I’ve gotten to know many people on the national staff. I used to think that they would all be stuffed shirts and be hard to talk to. The good news is‌ that is far from the truth. These people are really and truly just like us (unless you’re a stuffed shirt). Most are very down to earth and just plain fun to talk to. They’re happy to talk to you about what’s going on and are even happy to hear your complaints. They might not AGREE with you, but then what

You might not be aware that there is a national board meeting twice a year, one in the summer and one in the winter. The summer meeting is held in conjunction with Parade, the weeklong national convention. In the winter it’s usually held somewhere in the south, hoping it will be warmer and easier travel than to those northern regions. Anyway, this year the board meeting was held here in Solana (near TMS) from February 1-2. National board members came from far and wide to discuss the current state of the club and ways to improve areas that need help. People just like you and me talk about good and bad goings on in our local regions and ZD\V WR À[ WKH EDG DQG VSUHDG WKH JRRG Meetings go on for two days, the biggest of which happens on the 2nd day. This year it fell on Saturday. After the main board meeting where they cussed and discussed, a big happy hour and dinner was organized by our local region. Tracey Gross, in particular, did most of the arrangements. Unfortunately, when she FDPH GRZQ ZLWK WKH à X D IHZ of us (mostly Jan Mayo) stepped LQ WR ÀOO LQ WKH JDSV WKDW RSHQHG up. This social event was held at

Vu Nguyen, PCA Executive Director and Janet Ledesma poke some fun at Ruben Ledesma, National Treasurer

fun would that be?

National DE Chair Pete Tremper

So, the next time you have an opportunity to talk to a national staff member, don’t be worried if they’re approachable or not. They are‌ all except for ol’ whatshisname. JUST KIDDING! Come join the fun, either at Parade or maybe even the next winter board meeting location. They’re good people who have stepped up to make our club the best in the world!

A properly converted system will have a sticker stating the type of refrigerant used and also the SURSHU ÀWWLQJV IRU ÀOOLQJ ZLWK 5

Working on an AC system takes some special tools and training to repair. Most regulations require the recovery of any refrigerant in the system before any repairs that would have it escape. I suggest taking the vehicle to a facility that specializes in AC repairs.

911 (‘95-’04) Runs Rough By Joel Reiser 911 Advisor

After the last two times I have washed the 996 the car has ran realy rough.

I have also found water in the bottom of the IURQW WUXQN RQO\ LQ WKH ERWWRP , GLG ÀQG ZDWHU LQ WKH EDWWHU\ well and vacuumed it out. Is there something in this area that is getting wet and do you think the water in the lower trunk is coming from the battery well?

A

I see you report 82,000 miles on the car. It is possible you have a torn oil separator boot, forward left on the engine, or an intake air leak somewhere else, perhaps in the brake vacuum booster. Since you noted rainwater, check the previous Q&A about the rain drains clogging in these cars when run high miles without someone checking them every few years. Rainwater pools under the brake booster, it rusts, then has a puncture. That amounts to an intake system air leak, plus, bonus, you can be getting water in there now, in addition to air that ZDV QRW PHDVXUHG E\ WKH PDVV DLUà RZ PHWHU /HW XV NQRZ ZKDW \RX ÀQG

Is there some trick or suggestion someone can make on how to get the cable to feed into the car?

A

Jim, over the years I have seen rust, old plastic cable sheathing, sheet metal screws from accessory mountings and overly long seat belt mounting bolts that push against the housing and bend it. For rust and old cable parts that were jammed in the tube, I have had to buy a 4ft. section of solid steel rod, grind a point on the tip, and force it through the obstruction by twisting or hammering. First make sure it isn’t the belt anchor or something sheet metal screwed to the tunnel that pierced the cable tube.
