editor’s notes ~e’re ~till at it and getting better every month, don’t you th~nk? (That’s a hint for a little praise -- we thr~ve on it). Connie says we can also take the criticism (Lark and Ann aren’t so sure). We have changed our product~.on night to the Sunday following the ~Sth o~ each month. That way we have time ho organize all the things we need to include in the newsletter, and working on a Sunday proves to be better than trying to crank this o~,t o~-, ~ ~e~’knight (it also gives Connie more time to prepare a big dinner for us~ this ~s hard work and we get hungry). If there are any other hungry people out there who would l~ke to pitch in and help us, please give us a call (our phone numbers are on the it, side cover). Than~s to Doralyn Harris and Sara Pennlngton for contributing articles this month. We’d love to hear from more of you. See Lark’s WANTED article! it might get you enthused about writing something for us. The more people involved in creating POR$CHERA~, the more it represents the whole club, and the more fun it is for everyone. August is traditionally a slow month, what with Parade and the Monterey Weekend taking so many members out of town. Buh we have planned a hot dog BBQ for our membership meeting this month. PLEASE NOTE~ The membership meeting is on the 14th, a week earlier than usual. Come enjoy some good food and good fun at the Yacht Club.

JULY DINNER MEETING Our dinner meeting for July was held at the Acapulco Restaurant on La Cienega (thanks to Doralyn Harris, our unofficial dinner meeting chairman, for arranging it). Along with the marguerltas and enchiladas, we had for our entertainment a display of miniature car models made by (believe it or not) Jack Daniels. Jack works at Douglas Aircraft, but his heart is obviously in his hobby. He brought along a whole display of Porsche models, plus some others, just to show us the different types available to the hobbyist. He gave a brief talk on his favorite cars, and we all stayed after the meeting to take a closer look. Jack was so enthusiastic about his models, he got the rest of us excited about them too. The special feature of this meeting was a presentation to t~o of our earl£est club members -- and two of our favorite people -Vern and Ada Covert. Vern and Ada are pulling up stakes and moving to Prescott, Arizona, after many years in LA. Vern, who along with Ada and Curt Kubler, founded PORSCHOP, has given unselfishly of his time and talent to help the club and individual members, and we wanted to thank him. President John Wmson presented a plaque, expressing our respect and admiration. We’ll missboth Vern and Ada. |

Probably the most distressing fact of life, concerning Porsches of virtually any year, is the one you learn when you go out to your garage or parking place and find out is’s not there%|~ Letls face it, Porsches have been one of the hottest vehicles on the car theft market for years; and they’re getting HOTTER! So for your benefit I’ll try to list the most practical methods to help you keep yours. First, a good alarm, usually set up with a page alert, motion detector, electrical kill switch, loud horn or similar sound device. Second, Mag wheel locks, available almost everywhere. Third, additional steering wheel lock, available again almost everywhere. Fourth, a separate kill switch hooked into the fuel system and/or ignition system.

Other little items worth considering: The car cover should have some identifying information (name, license #,etc.) on it in large letters in indelible ink. If you use a Bra, take it to a top shop and have them stitch on it similar identifying Infm. For those of you with late model remote mirrors: Pop out the little plastic cap on the mirror retaining bolt, mix up a small amount of epoxy and fill the recessed bolt with it. Most mirrors are stolen where the car is parked. This makes it vez~ difficult without special tools. Use this same method for the bolts on your fog lights. ~hese are also most often stolen where your car is parked~ make it difficult and you probably won’t be bothered. Do not get into the habit, if at all possible of your Porsche consistantly being in the same spot at the same time, day after day. Most stolen’ cars are spotted well ahead of time.

first SARA PENN INGTON "Time Trial my Cabriolet! You’ve got to be kidding. What if it breaks?" Jose said, "Sunday drivers don’t break cars." Job_n Williamson called it a patriohic duty to run my car and beat P.O.C. (not a very good reason) and Jose said, "You,ll get a trophy, as no other girl is foolish enough to run her 356." So off to the races. My instructor, Jose, took me on the track and mentioned to be smooth, don’t be nervous and if you crash be sure to keep the clutch in. I was assigned the yellow class (does that signify chicken) and immediately went into a trance--best described as zombie-like. Every instruction by Jose was answered by,"I can’t hurt baby~ you’re kidding~ or how can I stick out my left arm when all those 911’s are so c io se." Well I got through practice and even passed a 914. Side Notes When I was working a corner, I noticed that all the ~llow stickers had smiled, blue and green sometimes had smiles after a turn, and red dots never smiled. Does this mean the yellows have more fun?? The official timed laps started about 2pm and my hands started sweating, my heartbeat was a casual 160, and my knees started shaking. I was told this is normal. Everything that Jose taught me was thrown out and I motored around in 2nd gear, except for the straight when I got into 3rd. My time was around Is22. There were actually people that were slower. Would I ever do it again? Maybe.
