LOS ANGELES,
WI~RE TH]~J~ IS A WILL...THERE’S A WAVE . . . . by Bob Raucher
,,.comment
~ere cemes a time in everyone’s life, after he has cut the umbilical cord, that he nmt face reality--the need to drive in Los Angeles. You will notice I said need, mot desire, because without a car Charlie, your dead. (Come to think of it, it cam werk bot~ ways! ) I recall recently asking a newly arrived tourist, "What in our beautiful city struck you first?" "A car," came his reply. Although its been said t~at many people have trouble adapting to the Los Angeles freeway of life, it isn’t all that its cracked up to be. (Pun intended) For instance the Angelinos, I mean t~ose that are really true to L.A. will tell you that their interpretation of rush hour is ’when all the cars are standin8 still’. Sere are other sayings, of course, ¯ewever, they are unprintable.... By virtue of these thoughts, we can see democracy in action. (And a need for rapid transit. Ed.) Be that as it may, it still remains that driving a Porsche in L.A. is hell J It can eat up Hausserman clutches, Bosch ignitions, Reutter 1~0dies" and sundry other items automotive in our quest to get from point A to point B. It also drinks gas and oil like any other car, only a little less. No, come to think of it a lot less. But we enjoy the Porsche, right, so right on.... Lately however, one b g~---pseudo-intellectual problem has come . into the glaring light. Porsche drivers around the country and So. California par ticularly, have, as the years passed and the sales curves of Porsches zoomed (sic) tmrmed to a form of snobbery. By itself this is not necessarily a bad thing, but within our own peer group this is tantamount to trying to stop a freight train with a eandle~ Oh c~me now, you know of what I speak. When was the last time you saw a 1963 Porsche super blink it’s headlights and wave a big "hello" to a 1959 normal? I Ill bet you have to think back quite a while. I must admit that I did see a Speedster wave at a new coupe a week ago, but get this, the coupe did not wave backJ I can remember acknowledgement on a moment to moment basis not too many years ago. So, fellow Porsche--Pushers, I think we should bring back the joy and love between our many friends who share the same driving pleasures as we. I mean, really fellas and gals, 900cc couldn’t mean this is how it will endJ Try to remember this creed; Rogardless of color, year of birth, convertible, coupe, roadster or speedster, raced or not; no mat.ter where you’re from, next time you see a Porsche, any Porsche, how about a great big ’hello’. Danka. Edlterts note: Porsche owner’s comaraderie is new to a lot of people. Back in the @ays when there were only a couple dozen registered in the county, a Porsche owner warn delighted to see anyone who had the same automotive interests as he and so he waved or blinked his lights. Sings have changed, unfortunately, and some of the nostalgia is gone. Around the beach cities especially, Porsches are as common as Fords and Chevys. And aren’t you really glad? Mechanical problems are much easier delt with now than in what we call the ’good old days’. Progress is c~uel in many ways, but we cannot fight it. So let’s be thankful for a decade or so of fun with the 356 series. Those days can be rivaled, but never repeated. IF A SOUTH AMERICAN PSYCHO IS A BRAZIL NUT, WHAT IS A PORSCHE NUT?
We tock a complete inventory of racing & high perf.ormance parts as
well as new and used parts for your Porsche,
glass,.suspension end drive line components for the earliest 356 to the latest 900’s.

SCOOTER PATRICK in June. HAROLD and CHARLOTTE S~JkNS took delivery of a red~911T at the factory in June and are touring Switzerland, Austria, Yugoslavia, B~l~aria mud Romania along the Black Sea. A postcard from them in Brasov, Romaula, a 500 year old city at the edge of the Carpathian Mountains, said they seldom get into 4th or 5th gear after leaving the ~Autobahn. They said it had been hot and humid and their air-conditioner worked great. They had to boil all their drinking water - no "tourista". The Porsche was a great curiosity to many and they will have a slide show for us when they return.

presidential rhetoric At the last board meeting George Godson brought up the need to appoint a nominating committee for the new board before October 1st. Ron Ramage agreed to be the chairman of the cummittee which is to be comprised of one board member and the rest from the membership. With a membership as large as ours, there is a lot of hidden ¯ talent out there and now is your chance to do your thing for your club. Someone has to do each Job or there won’t be any club to belong to and the more people who volunteer, the less responsibility there will be for each person. If you are not called on for a board position and f.eel you would like to try for it, please vo~test. If you are ca~led, its because someone is acquainted with your capabilities and thinks you would be good for the job. Inexperience is no excuse for refusing a Job as none of the Jobs are that difficult to perform.

TECH.NOTES P.S. - ~", ¢~. A.I. C .aldwell/Ro~er 0rth, ~he Pacific Northwest Re~ion ~7n the June article about C-D ignitions, we neglected to mention that most of.the emission control cars have an RPM transducer lead as well as a tachometer lead that must be changed when you switch from one ignition type to the other.. This lead should normally be .connected to the same terminal as the tachometer lead. An invaluable tool for this type of project is the car’s wiring diagram. It used to be imcluded in the drlver~s manua!, but alas, like other good things has been dlscontimued. However, wiring diagrams for your model are probably available if you ask ar@und a little. (Note: If anyone would like a copy of the article with diagram, that was published in the June Porscherama on how to convert to another system if you~ C-D ignition should fail, call Geri Boothe 696-0866 and she will mail you one.

Bob Van Cleave said that arrangements are coming along nicely for th~ Willow Sprlng~ event. He tried to interest those people who had never been there to come out ~nd "try it, you111 llke~ it". George Gedeon also asked for lots of support at the big annual event. Ron Ramage reported that Don Colwell is chairing our next event in September which will be a picnic at Grlffith Park on Sept. 24th.
