Sprockets:
Women (and Fashion) in Maverick Region’s History
By David Robertson, Region President
W
e recently cleaned out a storage unit that the club has rented for many years. Most of what was found were extra copies of Slipstream, old files and documents to be shredded, and ancient technology items left there over time. There was also treasure found in some old mementos of our club. Yearly scrapbooks and documentation of our club over the years were located in the dust among those items that were way overdue for the dumpster. The pictures and descriptions in these compilations tell a story of how a club like ours evolves and adapts over time. The Maverick Region members have been a fun bunch throughout the years and I have the pictures to prove it! One thing that stands out throughout these scrapbooks is the impact One thing that our women members have had that stands on this club. There has been at least out is the one woman on our Executive Comimpact that mittee serving as President, VP, our women Secretary, or Treasurer since the members have had on beginning of the Maverick Region in 1963. Women from this club on both this club. local and national levels have been creating and implementing brilliant ideas, competing in driving events, and managing the Maverick Region from its inception to the organization we have today. Many of these very long-tenured members are still active in the club and I see them at many of our events. After diving into our archives, I have an entirely new level of respect for the contribution they have made to our region over the years. As I look at the pictures and yearly activity outlines in these collections, I think about where we are today as an organization. Except for the excessive amounts of polyester and quite prominent sideburns, not much has changed with the goals and spirit of this club. We just have a much bigger challenge today to compete with the unlimited choices that our members have for their attention and time, both online and in the physical world. This challenge only becomes greater with the next generation of Maverick Region members. The quality of our event offerings, newsletter and social media is phenomenal today due to the continuous innovation and enthusiasm of our event chairs and volunteers. Member participation and excitement is as high as it has ever been. Although there have been questionable fashion trends over the years, the mantra of our club has not changed since its inception, and I hope that it never does. Driving Friendships! 2 March

Mavs & Mochas:
Southlake and Watters Creek in the Cold!

J
anuary: 20 Years of the 996
It was a warm reception for the Porsche 996 on a chilly January morning. At least 31 of the early hydrated 911s were in attendance, Jason which was roughly one 996 for every temOliver perature degree that morning. Brisk. Cool. Frosty. Choose an adjective, it was cold. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 996, Southlake Town Square was awash with the full spectrum of the first water-cooled 911s, from early models built in 1998 to those produced up Cold start to the morning through 2004. (Photo by Landon Stogner) As an owner of an early 996, I’m a little biased and madly in love with the sometimes-maligned generation of the 911. The Porsche 996 was a new design by Pinky Lai. It was the first new 911 that was completely redesigned, with little being carried over from the previous 993 models. All new body work, interior, and the aforementioned first water-cooled engine in a 911. By 9 am, a quick walk around the square allowed us to eye-spy everything and anything 996, including base C2s, C4s, Gen 1s, Gen 2s, Turbos, Coupés, Cabriolets, 4Ss, and an X50 (a Turbo with larger turbochargers and intercoolers providing a 30-hp increase). All were represented and welcomed, with a cup of joe from Starbucks and a donut personally handed out by Mav of the Year Bill Orr himself. Besides the first-generation H2O stars of the show, there were also the usual suspects in attendance, with the exception of a random drive-by, a 1991 964 reimagined by Singer Vehicle Design. As expected, the Singer quickly drew a crowd, worthy of any celebrity/paparazzi swarm fest, and we are all looking forward to seeing more of it at future events.

All told, at last count, over 120 cars braved the 30° morning in Southlake, which means we are all either crazy about our cars, or we REALLY like coffee and doughnuts.

ebruary: 25 Years of the 993
The conditions weren’t great but the spirit of the Mavs & Mochas members overcame all that mother nature served up Saturday morning, Mark February 10, and made for a great event. Palmer We had everything Saturday: 117 great cars, Frogg coffee, Mr. 993 Rudy Mancinas, raffle winners for The Pad Keeper, and 25 awesome 993s. To everyone that came out: thank you! Please plan on attending the March meeting at Zims Autotechnik and invite your Porsche friends. I want to give a special shout out to Rudy Mancinas who came up from Houston in his beautiful 993 to support his fellow 993 owners and the Mavs.

Another special thank you to David Etter, The Pad Keeper, for donating four Pad Keepers along with a nice banner for the event. Frogg Coffee Bar & Creperie was very accommodating, thank you.

Last, to everyone that helped make it all happen and braved the early morning weather to put out parking cones, assist drivers in parking, put out tables and banners, and anything else that needed to happen‌. boo-yaa!

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations Photos courtesy of Olga Taylor
By Bill Kruder, Region Advertising Chair
T
his month’s “conversation” started with an email back in October from a member asking if it would be OK to join us at our Mavs & Mochas, even though she would be in her daily driver. She briefly mentioned how she had a Porsche that had not been driven for some time, and how she was once active in PCA and was looking to reconnect. Well, after assuring her that we would love to have her attend, a few emails later I learned she had an 80s SC, so I told her to look me up that morning and we would chat. With that, our connection was in motion. So here is the next individual in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . . Olga Carolyn Stain Taylor, Porsche Enthusiast since 1978, Owner today of a 1980 911 SC Targa Bill Kruder: So are you originally from here? Olga Taylor: No, I was born in D.C. I was a baby when we moved to Houston, but I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley, specifically Fresno. BK: So how did you end up living in Dallas? OT: Well after graduating college let’s just say I moved a lot (laughing). I got a job at Kraft Foods in Buena Park as a food chemist and had a few promotions when an opportunity came up with Frito Lay at Exchange Park in Dallas. I was here for several months before they moved me back to L.A. as a QA Manager. It wasn’t till 1988 that I moved here permanently, first as a Field Industrial Engineer, then as Area Manager.
12 March
was such a thrill. Later, I bought my brother’s friend’s black 1974 914/4 after he took it out on the track for a test drive. This was in 1978. I drove the 914 for some time after that till my boss thought I should have another car. BK: And did that work out? OT: Well this was about 1984. We went to Redondo Porsche, I told them how much I would pay, and about two weeks later, for my 30th birthday, I was now the owner of two Porsches. They had located my “baby,” the 1980 SC Targa in Nutmeg Metallic. “Sleeping Beauty” from 1996 to November 2017
BK: I understand that after all the different positions that you had as a chemist and production manager, you have a whole different career? OT: Yes, in 1993 I started “New Paradigms,” a consulting company that specializes in organization development. I make sure people play well together (laughing). Today, I mainly work on executive coaching, training, and I teach at SMU. BK: So how did you get your passion for cars? OT: I’d have to blame my dad. When were kids he had a manual Ford Falcon that he would drive briskly down the streets, surprisingly with us kids in the car. Talk about something you would never do today! But those were different times. As a kid, I was not sure about fast driving, but my dad was always interested in fast cars and I guess that just stuck. BK: So what was your first experience with Porsche? OT: My dad’s friend saw me walking home from middle school and offered me a ride in his 911 -- it
BK: And I understand your cars are not garage queens? OT: Oh no! When I own cars I drive them -- from 1984 thru 1996 I put on over 100k miles on “Baby.” She took on the Pacific coast, wine country, and mountains, as well as PCA events: Tours, Rallies, Track, Autocross, etc.
Touring at Mount Hood National Forest
BK: So after 1996? OT: Well let’s just say that owning and driving a Porsche just makes one happy; how can it not, right? You have to just smile each and every time you head out. But then life gets complicated, and I went through a very heartbreaking time. So, I just parked it and never looked at it again. As I said, a lot was going on, and in 2007 I lost my husband, so again that just was not the focus.
BK: And what made you want to bring the car out after 21 years? OT: Well, last September I had a friend over to the house, and he saw this car covered in the garage and asked what it was. I uncovered it and he said, “Olga why don’t you drive this?” BK: OK so I know the story gets good now. OT: It really does. I had read about this PCA group who gather for coffee every month and I thought maybe I should just go see what goes on and meet them. I had been very active in the PCA club in Oregon back in 1985 till moving here in 1988. BK: Yes I remember you sending me an email asking if you could drive over to meet us. OT: And I did, I drove over to Bedford, the Texas Harley Dealership, in my Honda Pilot, and upon arriving was
directed to the “non-Porsche” lot (laughing). But hey, I get it! So, I parked and started walking the lot among more Porsches that I had ever seen in one place for some time. I casually just started to talk to some of the owners, when I ran into Frank Briggs and told him I had a car that had not been driven in 20 years. Well Frank said we better do something about that! So before I knew it he was at my house, checking the oil, and bringing fresh gas and a battery. With a crank or two it started! It had not run since 1996. With that, Frank shut it down and
recommended that I get the car in for service. He recommended Nate, Rick, and Ricky at Fifth Gear. So we flat bedded it off to them. Frank went over there and supervised the whole process for me. BK: And when was the car ready to drive again? OT: “Baby” became road worthy the day before Thanksgiving. I wasn’t even sure I knew how to drive a stick after 20 years. Then, the best part was being able to attend Founders Day Mavs & Mochas with some 200 other cars. Let’s just say all the happiness I had enjoyed, and yet missed, was back! And there you have it: yet another example of “driving friendships,” and what it means to not only own a Porsche but how that simple pleasure changes lives forever.

Motoring Mavs at Mayo:
W

This event will be held every third Saturday of the month, and starting time will be 9:11 am at Mayo Performance in Euless. Now you might wonder what the difference is between M & M and Motoring Mavs at Mayo. Well, M & M is held the second Saturday of the month and varies
Saturday Morning With Porsches on location, typically moving East and West in the Metroplex. Motoring Mavs at Mayo will be the third Saturday of the month, and will always be at the garage.

In addition, an online store has been created specifically to allow you to purchase merchandise with the MMaM logo. You can browse and order those items at www.zazzle.com/motoring_mavs. So there you have it.

2018 Maverick Region All Member Party Photos by Andrew Barber
By Jim Hirsch, Slipstream Editor with observations by Josh Gutjahr
T
he longtime Maverick Region motto of “Driving Friendships” was definitely in evidence to the members who attended the All Member Party (AMP) held on January 27. Our Maverick Region made Hackberry Country Club the place to be as over 120 Porsche vehicles made the drive along with over 250 PCA friends in attendance for the afternoon.
Fortunately the weather cooperated for our event once again and allowed members to spend lots of time outside enjoying the parking lot full of members’ Porsches of all years and models. As members made their way inside, they were greeted and directed to the area filled with tables of event information as well as a winderful selection of appetizers and drinks. Our Region President, David Robertson, did a masterful job sharing information about our club and what members can expect in the way of numerous activities and information sources. Beyond great food and libations, the conversations heard throughout the afternoon were those of new and old friends sharing good times together.
Our Region Social Chair, Tracy Robertson, did a wonderful job of putting this event together for our new and current members to enjoy. This is the final event coordination for Tracy as she turns over the Social reins to Debi Gibson and gets a well deserved break. Thank you Tracy for your years of service as the Region’s Social Chair! 18 March
A new Maverick Region member, Josh Gutjahr, attended with Parker Ackerman and shared these observations.
Parker and I were a little nervous about coming to this event because we were unsure as to how the reception would be. This marks my second Maverick Region event, with the first one being an Autocross. For Parker this would be her first car event EVER. We arrived a little late, but wasted no time diving into the great food and drink that was there. I met a couple of familiar faces, and mingled with new ones as well. Everyone was so friendly and outgoing, and that made the world of difference for us. We got so wrapped up in conversation, that I didn’t have time to show Parker all the cars! I barely was able to scratch the surface on the flat-6 configuration. I also forgot to get the pictures that I promised both our parents. Oh well, there’ll be other times. I enjoyed learning about all the upcoming car events, such as the Mavs & Mochas and the tours. Overall we had a great time and will be coming out to more events as they arise. Being from Tyler it’s hard sometimes to get to the Maverick Region events, but I’m going to try at least one event a month. Parker had a great time as well, and the Mavericks definitely made a great impression on her.

n Sunday, March 25, Maverick Region of the PCA will be holding its inaugural Porsche Promenade Car Show at Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch. The show will be held from 11 am to 2 pm where brunch and refreshments will be served. Look for registration information on our Facebook page. We’re looking forward to kicking off 2018 with a “Shine & Show” event, where a “clean car” is all you need. Concours d’Elegance this is not. Bring your clean Porsche and let our judges rate your cleaning skills. Accessing the vast “think tank” of car show experience from the club, veteran car show participants Ed Mayo and Alan Bambina will assist the judges and help set the expectations of participants. All members will receive a club “enews” email regarding registration, volunteers needed for judges, and training for judges and participants. We will also post that information on our web site at http://mav.pca. org/Events/Concours/ and our Facebook page.

Shine & Show
Kurt Scaggs, our event ads designer, has created yet another unique logo for this first Porsche Promenade. All participants will receive a commemorative decal on the day of the car show. In addition, an online store has been created specifically to allow you to purchase other merchandise with the same commemorative logo. You can browse and order those items at www.zazzle.com/maverick_concours. We’re looking forward to a great turnout for this first Concours event of 2018.

Spring 2018 Porsche Promenade:
Bunny Hop Road Rally Preview
P
lease join us for our third annual Easter gimmick rally: the Bunny Hop Road Rally (BHRR) on Saturday, April 7. Sign-in is at 9 am in the Costco parking lot at 11220 Dallas Parkway in Frisco, with first car out shortly after the drivers’ meeting at 9:30. We will end at the Hard Eight BBQ in The Colony for libation and lunch, a recap of the fun-filled route, and our prestigious award ceremony! The competition for the DLBF (Dead Last But Finished) Award is always fierce! If you joined us in the past for either our Halloween or Easter gimmick rallies, you know how much fun we have – your rallymeisters continue to hone their bag of gimmicks to maintain the excitement and competition, and this rally will assuredly introduce some new “hops” down that path. If you are new to gimmick rallying, we assure you that it will be an enjoyable morning. Our goal is to keep everyone on the route, so the drive instructions are not (too) cryptic, as long as you follow a few basic rules. We have planned the rally to go from Frisco to The Colony, traveling over 60 miles and staying on paved back roads, out of the main stream of traffic as much as possible.
Two people at a minimum should be in each car: a driver and a navigator. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged; we will have over thirty cars participating, leaving at one- to two-minute intervals from our starting point, and pre-registration helps in our planning. We will send out General Instructions prior to the rally as well – it helps to understand the basic rules and guidance before rally day. We look forward to seeing you at the BHRR!! Contact us with any questions. Don Sebert and George Luxbacher – Rally Co-Chairs; rally@mavpca.org

Silver Fox in Grapevine
T
hey’re baaaack!! Yes, we are very happy that after a very busy holiday season, the popular Monthly Socials are back for our members’ enjoyment and included in the Maverick Events Calendar. There was a great turnout of members at the fabulous Grapevine Silver Fox restaurant on Thursday, February 8. It was exciting to get together with so many familiar faces and extend our welcome to the new attendees. As usual, everyone was very chatty, catching up with each other, sharing their stories, and welcoming the new attendees. The Silver Fox setting is perfect since they dedicate an entire private area by the bar, with assigned servers to take good care of us. Almost everybody stayed to enjoy the terrific food and friendly service, after breaking the ice with some of our favorite beverages. We are already working hard to fill the rest of the calendar which promises to continue in the tradition of these fun and friendly events. We look forward to seeing you at the next Monthly Social event which will be held at the The Lion & Crown Pub located in the Watters Creek shopping area in Allen. Check for more details in the ad on page 17.
If you missed us at this event, plan to join us at The Lion & Crown Pub in March

Mitas Hill Vineyards Preview
pring is right around the corner, and it’s time to get your Porsche in order for a great tour season. We have to get those Porsches waxed or coated in time for bug season! Our first Tour, “Wine M Up, Blow M Out!” is scheduled for Sunday, March 25, which is the first official weekend of spring. We have a great drive lined up, and it’s a new route! The roads on this tour are the most underpopulated that I have experienced on a Maverick Tour, well at least since I have been attending them. You will experience a great country drive in the lesspopulated areas northeast of Dallas. At the time this article was written, there was no construction on this route. The Tour starts at Tom Thumb, 3070 N Goliad Street, in Rockwall, Tx 75087. We will start the First Timers’ Drivers’ Briefing at 9:45 am. We recommend first time tour attendees to arrive no later than 9:30 so they have time to get signed in and listen to the First Timers’ Drivers’ Briefing. Most of our tour attendees arrive early to socialize and check out all the different types of Porsches that attend these tours. Arriving early also helps our volunteers in signing everyone in on time. Our normal Drivers’ Briefing will begin at 10:00, and then we will head for our destination shortly afterward. The drive is 71.5 miles and will last approximately an hour and forty-five minutes. Our Tour ends at Mitas Hill Vineyard, 2300 Vineyard Hill Lane, in McKinney, TX 75071. Registration for this tour will be different than past tours. You will need to register on our web site at mav. pca.org/Events/Tours.asp. Registration will open up one month before the tour. If you don’t already have an account with Clubregistration.net you will need to follow the instructions on Clubregistration.net to set up an account. Once registered we will send out an email on the third day before the tour with all the information that you need to attend.
A second change that we have implemented in the tour program is the Vintage Class. This new class will offer a more relaxed driving experience within that group. It will be your choice to drive in the Vintage Class or the Modern Class regardless of what type of Porsche you drive. You will be able to make this selection when signing up for the Tour. We will be accepting donations to Patriot Paws Charity at the sign-in table. The mission of Patriot Paws is to train and provide service dogs of the highest quality at no cost to disabled American veterans and others with mobile disabilities. You can learn more about our clubs preferred charity at http://mav.pca.org/about/charity/. We look forward to seeing everyone on this Tour! If you would like more information on Driving Tours please see last month’s article in Slipstream or email tours@mavpca.org.
Tour drives will be organized into Classic/Antique and Modern groups

T
he holidays are a special time. Lots of good food and plenty of great times spent with family and friends. I have also found that it is easy to question the lengths of November, December, and the first half of January. Sometimes vacations, trips, and family get togethers are not so relaxing. This past holiday season I was thankful I got to relax—albeit only a little—but I was even happier that I got to spend a bunch of time with my family. I was also quite pleased with the Christmas Porsche treasures Christian and I received from Santa. I wish to share with you what we acquired, not just to reveal our cool Porsche collectables, but for you to see the wide range of toy companies currently working with Porsche. Who knows, this discussion might give you some ideas for the handful of birthdays, anniversaries, and bar mitzvas coming up this year. A few years back I believe I relayed my utter fascination at the fact that Porsche and LEGO have collaborated and developed toys based on some of the latest 911s. I mean, back when I was a kid in the mid 90s, I would have sold all my little sister’s teeth to the tooth fairy in one night for a LEGO GT1! And, now, kids these days have at least three different Flying Lizard racing models to choose from. On top of that, Playmobile, Power Wheels, and even Barbie have come out with Porsches. As you can see from the photo of
Weihnachtsporsche Schätze
our Christmas haul, Porsche has developed toys and models with even more companies than the ones listed thus far. Right off the bat, Hot Wheels, Revell, and Maisto make sense; making toy cars is kind of their thing. But if you ask anyone that has tried to search for good quality die-cast models these days, he or she would tell you how difficult it is to find the big ones, as well as how long it could take to find the specific model you desired. Hot Wheels definitely makes things easy on the consumer. They have made truckloads of iconic, and often flashy, 911s, Carrera GTs, and 959s since the mid 70s, but again, unless you shop online, you won’t be able to find a specific model at any physical store locations. It is very much the luck of the draw when it comes to toy shopping. The same can easily be said for Revell’s plastic and die cast models. I had searched for a 914 model for at least 10 years. Physical stores never carried them (the clerk often said “nine four-what?”), I always come up short on eBay, and I never com-
mitted to buying the pricey ones I did find. As luck would have it I found the two-in-one 914 pictured at a Hobby Lobby in Rockwall. I actually found two there—the only two—so naturally I bought one for myself, and the other as my Uncle’s Christmas gift! Don’t fret -- if toys and models are not your thing, there are many other Porsche collectibles and memorabilia available with just a quick search online. Banners, flags, decals, clothes, posters, and books galore flood retail websites. Sites and apps like Pinterest and Instagram even reveal how artsy and creative people make their own types of Porsche-inspired goods. My Uncle seems to have a knack for finding the perfect Porsche gift. This year he got me the large, framed 944 Turbo Specification poster pictured. Not only does the poster depict sketches of the car at different profiles, but it also lists the car’s class, body type, engine, and top speed. My uncle knows me so well. No matter who you are or what your style is, there is a Porsche collectible out there for you. Many Mavericks already collect and display their memorabilia proudly and can help in your search as well. Speaking of hanging, I have to go find a spot to hang my 944 Turbo poster . . . . Happy shopping, and Wrench on Mavs!

Oils and Lubrication
S
o, how do you get a 15 year-old teenage boy out of bed early on a Saturday morning? Offer up the opportunity to learn more about the cars he loves (dad too) and to see some of these fine driving machines that our Mav owners love so much. Yep - my son Ian and I ran that play and headed downtown for a wonderful experience at the Mav’s Tech session hosted by Park Place Porsche, ExxonMobil, and our own Mike-n-Michael’s (Mahoney and Baynton) pit lane commentary. Upon arriving in the parking lot, Ian was quick to call out all the members’ cool cars – specifically the Kruder 356, along with the Barber Carmine Red GT4, which was parked discretely in its own little area of the dealership.
After half a dozen cups, hats and shirts were awarded, and the 90-minute journey commenced with a fantastic engagement of learning everything from refinery processing to oil grades, viscosity levels, synthetic vs. conventional, additives, and frequency of oil changes! A special “thanks” is due to Mike Mahoney and his 30+ years of petroleum experience for helping to simplify what is a very complex industry topic!
Maverick members toured the showroom and the shop area to learn what services Park Place offers
Park Place Porsche GM Patrick Huston and Maverick Tech Session Chair Michael Baynton welcome a sold-out session of Maverick members interested in proper lubrication
Upon entering the showroom, the Park Place crew and GM Patrick Huston greeted us with open arms. We were all escorted upstairs into a classroom-setting conference room that included an abundance of fresh coffee, donuts and other fine edibles. Ian and I took our seats towards the front of the class -- from his perspective (and high school experience) the best seat to be in, and less inclined to be called upon to answer a tough question by the “teacher.” The room was filled to capacity, and extra chairs had to be brought in to accommodate the overflow of excited Mav owners passionately waiting to learn about proper lubrication and maintenance. The group was greeted by Tech Session Chair Michael Baynton, who introduced us to Porsche ExxonMobil rep Leanna Almarines (“the teacher”), who would take us through a very informative PowerPoint presentation that began with asking the group some “simple” questions. I learned that nothing gets hands in the air or responsive shout-outs quicker than the offering of various Mobil 1 and Porsche trinkets for correct answers.
After the session, Patrick Huston offered everyone a personally guided tour of the magnificent dealership, including the sales floor, and--best of all--their expansive service facility. I could see Ian’s (and almost everyone else’s) eyes light up with excitement in hopes of catching a glimpse of a 918, GT3, or GT4 in for service or sitting on the sales floor waiting to be taken home by some very fortunate owner. It was definitely our lucky day, as all eyes feasted on not one but two 918s, a few GT3s and GT4s, and a plethora of other beautiful Porsches, including the new Panamera Sport Turismo. As Ian and I headed out from a great morning he was quick to tell me about his dream to someday have his own Porsche dealership and personal collection of the finest Porsche automobiles in existence. My response: “Chase that dream and don’t ever forget to change your oil frequently!” 31

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
A
ny Porsche is a true enthusiast’s car. A classic Porsche may be considered more of a driver’s car due to the analog nature of the experience, while a modern Porsche may be considered more of a performance car due to the more advanced tech in the nature of the experience. What all Maverick members can take away from this is the fact that owning and driving any Porsche is first and foremost an exceptional experience. So, what might you consider as a next step to enjoy your Porsche experience even more? I’m glad you asked! The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is providing Porsche enthusiasts an opportunity to better understand the answer to the question,“What makes a Porsche a Porsche?” The Porsche Effect exhibit now at the museum explores the brand’s history and enduring success, which have been made possible by the distinctive design, engineering, advertising, and racing triumphs of its products. The exhibit encompasses five thematic sections, each of which contains a combination of automobiles, artifacts, archival material, film footage, and visual reproductions.
Elements of Style addresses “what makes a Porsche a Porsche” by tracing how the cars’ ideal proportions have developed into an aesthetic archetype that illustrates “the Porsche Effect.” The Zuffenhausen and Beyond section explores the crucial transatlantic relationship between Porsche manufacturing in Germany and the American market, illustrating the large role of L.A. in the Porsche story. Extended Families illustrates both the international family of Porsche owners and the families of the Porsche owners themselves. Innovation through Competition relates the ways in which Porsche’s impressive racing success was driven by engineering innovation. Finally, the Word/Image/Object space reveals how the Porsche phenomenon has resulted in a recognizable style. As Alan Drayson comments, “driving a Porsche puts you in charge of a smart, reliable sports machine full of character. Further, Porsche ownership makes you part of a massive community of enthusiasts keen to share their passion for the brand. The social life that you experience with these cars shouldn’t be underestimated”. Sounds like a road trip is in order!
