Our 40th Anniversary celebrations certainly took a hold of last weekend and truth be told, I’m still recovering. Hillclimbs, followed by drinks and 40th anniversary nightly functions do not give much time to rest. The ten or so PCQ ‘mountaineers’ who joined in to make a full social and track-active weekend will know what I mean. When the 40th weekend was being conceived late last year, the committee wanted to make the 40th celebrations as worthy and as special as possible, yet practicable and enjoyable. Pat on the back to all involved as it was a cracker of a time; 10/10. Celebrations started Thursday morning and thank you to Greg McWhinney for arranging the first leg of our weekend away. PCQ placed money on the bar for member drinks Thursday night at the Sheraton prior to dinner, so I trust a good time was had by all. Photos circulated certainly prove this was the case. Friday morning commenced with 60-odd members meeting at Fernvale for another drive, including a massive lunch at Parkwoods. Following the drive, it was off to the beachside Porsche show held under lights at Gympie Terrace Noosaville before drinks on the bar at Noosa RACV later that night at 7.30pm. Sigh...no wonder I was a bit foggy come my first run up the mountain in the RS early Saturday morning! May I say, multiple runs up the mountain on Saturday, followed by another long night of official celebrations didn’t make my Sunday morning any less foggy. Should this be considered for the 2015 motorsport calendar? The Noosa Hill Climb was $160.00 for the 2-day event that included 10 runs up the mountain, plus a sighting lap. There were over 120 competitors in 10-odd classes. So that equates to around 1,200 individual competitive sprints up the Noosa Mountain (which is about 5 mins from the heart Cooroy) by stock street and race cars, all with ZERO accidents; not one panel damaged by any competitors. This event has to be one of the stars of the modern age in Queensland motorsport and seriously worth considering as a great way to have a bit of fun in your Porsche.

During the event, I never got into 3rd gear (although I bounced the redline in 2nd a few times), so it’s not a high speed event. It’s also an event where no roll cage is required and as it’s held in a national park, it’s an adrenaline rush that is only open to competitors twice a year. Add to this that it is only $160.00 and you can see why it was put on the plate for our club to enjoy for our 40th celebrations. Unlike Mt Cotton, Noosa has no downhill sections, it just continues up, up and up the mountain. Awesome! Maybe next year we should include the Noosa 2-day event in the social and motorsport calendar with another overnight stay at Noosa? Let us know your thoughts.
resplendent in a 40th club shirt sitting in front of his shiny 928. We also had Grant Sparks performing as our esteemed MC, backed by spirited speeches from David Holzhiemer, past Presidents Phil Holzlberger and Joe Martens. To add to this, we were spoilt with a 40th Anniversary PowerPoint presentation playing in the background on 2 large screens displaying picture of various club members and events over many, many years. Superb.
The 40th anniversary dinner function on Saturday night at the RACV was certainly one of my highlights after four years in the Presidents chair. The committee puts in a lot of voluntary work into bringing events such as this dinner to life. To see over ninety members from all walks of life and all Porsche preferences in one room celebrating the birth of this great club was priceless. New members, old members, social day junkies through to track day junkies. One and all into the spirit of what our club stands for. Great friendships enjoying our fantastic cars in our great state. The essence of the Porsche Club of Queensland.
We have more events planned on the Sunshine Coast in October 2014, as part of for our 40th celebrations. Time to book your accommodation at the RACV or car into the Classic!
A big thank you to Porsche Centre Brisbane for its support, including providing our Club Secretary Kent Kieseker with a 991 Porsche CAMS Course car (Hmmm, I wonder if he returned it?) and a number of quality table gifts that were placed under various chairs as a surprise. Another massive thank you to Pamela Ward from Porsche Cars Australia for supplying over 90 individual commemorative, engraved gifts and support from Porsche Cars Australia’s Managing Director Sam Curtis for his special letter to us all – destined for the clubs pool room. On the night, we also presented video messages from a ‘chilaxed’ Phil and Gail Hart in WA, Paul Dortkamp, President of Porsche Club NSW and more locally, a piece put to camera by our Membership Director, Tim Place

So after an evening of endless celebrations – even dancing (no misprint), it was no surprise I was 10 toes up by midnight in preparation for more runs up the mountain early on Sunday morning.
2014 Noosa Beach Classic Car Show - Sunday 5th October 2014 This prestigious event has been held continuously for the past 26 years and plays host to over $7m worth of collectable cars, just 100m from Hastings Street at Noosa Lions Park. You may have read about this car show in Unique Cars magazine who cover it annually, as does the local media. All profits go to local charities and worthy causes, with the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show contributing in excess of $150,000 to these charities to date. Our members hyper clean Porsche’s will be competing against each other, as we have enjoyed in years past at Ormiston House. The major difference in 2014 is that our Porsche Concourse entries will in addition, be competing against a host of other present Marques that weekend, be that rare brands such as Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Maserati, Ferrari, MG, or Lamborghini. Book it in your calendar now. Dave Beard President
EDITORS NOTES
Well, the 40th Anniversary celebrations at Noosa are now all but a great memory. By all accounts, this was an excellent event and does our club very proud, both from a member’s perspective, as well as the general public who witnessed a great car display and some very well attended and conducted social gatherings. The weekend was a credit to all of the Committee and associated helpers. In this edition of the magazine, you’ll notice that there are two very prestigious pages available from an advertising perspective the inside rear and rear cover pages! These two pages offer very ‘high-visibility’ from an advertising perspective and represent great value for money. Each is just $1,980 (Inc. GST) and provides you with 6 editions per year in advertising. We are sure that there are plenty of business owner club members who would love to show their support for the club, as well as gaining
some great marketing space. So if you are interested in advertising in these spaces, please email the Editor at editor@porsche-qld. org.au The next Club meeting will be our Annual General Meeting, where all of the Committee positions will be vacated and in some cases, new Committee members taken on board. In my case, I will not be recontesting the position as Communications Director. I have had four wonderful years in this role now and will look back on them very, very fondly. That’s not to say that it hasn’t been without its challenges, but it has always been very, very rewarding. I have had the opportunity to meet a great many more of our Club members and been a part of many Committee decisions and events that truly shaped our club and kept it heading into a very promising future.
like to pass on a very special thanks to Dave Beard and all of the other Committee members that have assisted me over the last 4 years. I’d also like to thank everyone who has contributed (both story contributors and the advertisers) to the magazine to help make it one of the very best club magazines anywhere…full stop. A very, very big thank you to Rachel Place too, who’s tireless work in constructing the magazine layouts over the last 12 months or so has been fantastic. Lastly, but no means least, I must save the biggest thank you for my wife Nichi, who at many points in time has had a ‘part-time’ husband who disappeared into the study for hours on end over the last 4 years and given me great support as well.
It has been a great honour to have been your Communication Director during this time. I’d

Rounds 4 and 5 at the Shannon’s Days of Thunder have come and gone and so has the Noosa Climb as part of the 40th Anniversary celebrations. Days of Thunder was a success, but there was not much support for the Hill Climb, it could be that members are not interested in this type of event, so we have cancelled the August Hill Climb and changed it to a Friday afternoon Sprint at Lakeside on the 22nd of August. The afternoon Sprints have been well received so far and entrants receive plenty of laps for a very reasonable cost.
on weekends. This will mean that we have a half day Sprint at a manageable cost and also have access to driver training for those who want it. Paul provides a high standard of training for all levels. This type of event will fulfil our commitment to provide an avenue for training to those who would like it and it is strongly recommended that anyone who is new to the track undertake training. The days will probably consist of the training in the morning and sprint in the afternoon, full details will be advised shortly.
There will be a Motorkhana and skid pan event in September at the Mount Cotton Driver Training facility for those that would like some fun at lower speeds. Please note that the motorkhana will form a round of the championship.
We are also looking at how we class cars and have been advised by those ‘in the know’, that the way we are currently doing it is perhaps inaccurate and outdated. We are looking at alternatives together with Guy Harding and will provide details shortly.

Munro and the subsequent testing of that car, we will be moving all those vehicle of this type to the A3 class. There have become aware of issues of late with classing, which are attempting to resolve and I would encourage all to move on from the past and be part of the future. The success of the Motorsport arm of the club as always relies on the participation of members, so I would encourage those so inclined to support the track days and other events. The club has generously made funds available to ensure the success of the remainder of this year and the 2015 competition and we will be providing both weekend and weekday events provide the support is there.

Vale - Willi and Christa Reinicke I first met Willi and Christa at a club night at the German Club late in 1992. Willi was the proud owner of a number of 356’s and an early 911 targa. They were ever present at social events and participated in most Club events. Willi loved driving fast and used every track opportunity to run the old blue 356 to its limits. Christa was the ever present calming influence and quite often was like a mother to the Club and its members. She would help out wherever she could and enjoyed the social atmosphere of the Club. Willi was Vice President in the 19971998 club year and made the committee meetings very lively. He and Christa attended every National Meeting that I attended from 1993 to 1996. They enjoyed the event immensely and seemed to be the doting grandparents for the rest of us young ones. Willi was hopeless at motorkhanas, Wrong Way Willi being an apt nickname. He always tried really hard at the Concours as the photo shows. In the Sprints, he always drove at ten/ tenths on the track and had no fear. He usually bagged some trophies because there weren’t too many cars in his class, that’s why he brought the 356. In those days we all used to drive together in convoy with the Club radios for communication. Something always happened to Willi or his car and this was always very amusing. I have very fond memories of sitting on the side of the New England Highway waiting for help. Afterwards we would all have a drink and reminisce the occasion. He did frequent trips to his home country of Germany meeting family and sourcing parts for the cars. He loved tinkering and built the first real man cave at his new home near Samford.
By Jo Martens
He picked up a few 356 wrecks and was trying to get a real Carrera (356) which I think he found. He was also an active member of the Australian 356 Register. Willi and Christa were always very hospitable and friendly and loved a cup of coffee or a drop of wine. They leave behind daughter, Daniella and husband, Robert Hawley and two grandkids, Christian and Emma. Our thoughts and condolences go to them at this very sad time. The photos are scanned from old Club magazines: Dayboroxmas - A Club Xmas run and social event at Dayboro in 1993. At left is Willi, and from the right, Karen Gillies then Christa. Note both were wearing the new Club (swirl) shirts.

40th Anniversary Celebrations It was Great Two Day Drive Days Day One Thursday 24th greeted us with great winter’s day weather a fine, crisp sunny morning. Seven club members with wife’s, partners, brothers and one dad pretending to be ‘the older brother’ as navigators, met outside Porsche Centre Brisbane to head off on the club’s two day drive. We had a great array of Porsches to start the event including a 997 GT3, 996 GT-3 RS, 911 SC, 964 C-4, 997, 968 and a Cayman S. After crossing the Story Bridge as a group, then on to the M-1 then heading south, exiting at Daisy Hill, through Marsden and on to Beaudesert for coffee and cake. Then it was time to meet up with six more members at Jubilee Park in the Gold coast area, along with PCQ members Wayne and René from Dalby and David and Dianne from Tassie. After handing out 40th anniversary drive day caps and lanyards, we spent some time sharing stories about our cars and how we are looking

Photos & Article by Greg McWhinney forward to the next couple of days driving and sharing each other’s company. Then we ‘hit’ the road to Kyogle for lunch via the Mt. Lindsay Highway and Summerland Way. With 13 cars in ‘tow’, we added a further two 928’s, two Boxsters, a 996 Turbo and a 911 Carrera to the group. We had a great run, to the extent that when we caught a doubledeck cattle truck in some great twisty stuff near Mt. Barney and at the first chance of a bit of straight road, the truck driver pulled over and waved our group through. Some in the group took photos ‘on the run’, but it wasn’t until we finally had some road-work traffic lights that we got the chance to get out and take some group photo’s on the way into Kyogle. The food, conversations and laughs being enjoyed around the tables was great to see, with old and new friendships starting by sharing stories and laughs. After lunch we ventured over the UkiMurwillumbah road and then onto the Advancetown road. After enjoying some great roads, we eventually drove on to the Sheraton

Mirage and even managed to stay as a group through all the traffic lights. The staff were great, it’s not every day that nine Porsches pull into the reception area at Sheraton Mirage nose to tail and it made for a great site. After everyone had checked in and wondered around the complex, we all meet up in the Horizon Room for drinks and dinner. Mark and Martin from the Porsche Centre Gold Coast joined us for dinner and brought up two vehicles; the new Macan Turbo S and 991 Cabriolet which they showed us over and answered our questions later in the night. We came out after dinner to view the two new Porsches (Thanks PCGC) and were amazed to see so many members of the public having pictures taken with Jason’s GT-3 RS or the new Macan Turbo S and 991 Cabriolet, even some of Sheraton’s staff admitted to us they too had been drawn to the three vehicles and snapped some ‘selfies’. The evening drew to a close as we all needed to get some sleep for the following days big drive day up to Noosa.

Day 2 Friday 25th and again we were greeted with another perfect winter’s day for driving. We now had several more Gold Coast club members join us for the Day Two part of the drive, including Craig and Leanne, and new members Paige, Emma and their daughter Gracie, who proved that a child’s restraint seat can be fitted into the back of a 996. This proved very insightful for new member Tom with his 964 C-4. As some of Thursday’s drivers couldn’t make Friday’s drive and with our Gold Coast friends joining us, we had 12 cars for the drive from the Gold Coast to Fernvale, where we were to meet up with the “Brisbane Crowd”. My phone had been running hot early that morning with several PCQ members phoning me asking if they could still join the drive, the answer was ‘Yes – please do, as it’ll be a lot of fun’. After enjoying the drive back to Beaudesert, on to towards Boonah, then up to Amberley, through Walloon, it was on to Fernvale Bakery for coffee and cake. I was blown away with the sight of another 17 Porsches waiting for us in Fernvale. What a sight! We managed to arrange group photos with help from a member of local council work force. Again I handed out more 40th Anniversary Drive day caps and lanyards and after a quick coffee, we ‘hit the road’ for the drive to Palmwoods Pub

for lunch. As we headed out with 29 Porsches covering almost every model (the only two missing a 356 and 924), President Dave and several other members were in front of me, when we approached the first turn off, they went straight on, ’Ooops’. This lead to some confusion, but as we all turned onto Wivenhoe Dam Road and got back on track. I was told by others later that Dave and the others, with some ‘spirited driving’, actually enjoyed the roads as they caught back up with the pack.
After lunch most of us headed for Noosa via the highway, some via the Coast road in the drive day notes and once booked into their accommodation, it was off to Lions Park Noosaville, where we had 30 Porsches on display. Again, almost one of every model was on display (we were only missing a 356 and 924). The Noosa Council provided floodlighting towers so the public could enjoy the sight of our Porsches after dark, as we either had a coffee or walked along the foreshore.
Driving the Wivenhoe Dam road with some ‘spirited’ effort was a lot of fun and to look out the back window to see nearly 30 Porsches ‘following’ for as far as the eye could see, was just fantastic! This was followed by Somerset Dam Road, with great views, but at very moderate pace due to some SUV’s in tourist mode - but still fun.
Some of us went next door to the Noosa Yacht club for a light meal before heading back to the RACV for drinks and laughs about the two days of driving and fun that we had just enjoyed and what we looked forward to over the weekend.
Once through Kilcoy and onto the Peachchester Road, we could enjoy some of the great roads we have to choose from in South East Queensland. I lead the ‘charge’ along Bald Knob road, Tunnel Ridge Road and Eudlo Road, which led onto Palmwoods for lunch. The club had pre-booked for 44 diners, but we ended up with 57 members and friends joining us for lunch. I had many members come up to me over lunch thanking me for leading the group, as they had really enjoyed the experience and for many, they had never experienced those roads or knew of their existence.
NEWS
For me, it was a lot of fun to see everyone mixing and talking, laughing in each other’s company. To have over 30 Porsches participate in the drive, enjoy the roads and to arrive safely at all our destinations over the two days was my reward. I look forward to being your Social Director for the next 12 months, with a mix of short and long drives, mixing up eateries and destinations. If you have a favourite place to eat at, to drive to, or an idea for a weekend away, please send it through to the social email address. Cheers Greg McWhinney (PCQ - Social)

Festivities started with pre-diner drinks at around 6:30. This was a great way to unwind from the day’s events and to get ready for what would be a great night. There were over 90 club members in attendance on the night, including several past Club Presidents and other guests.
video presentations from absent club members and speeches from David Holzhiemer, along with past Presidents Phil Holzlberger and Joe Martens. Following a great meal, we all enjoyed some more drinks, dancing and conversations well into the night. By all accounts it was a huge success and everyone enjoyed their night immensely.

KB and the 991S
The 991 is a phenomenal car. Every now and then, an opportunity to drive something special comes along and you wonder what will it be like? Will it live up to my expectations? Would I consider it a value proposition? Wow, wow, wow, is the best way to describe the car. The more I drove the car, the more I appreciated its capabilities and the attention to detail the Porsche engineers achieved to make the 991 an experience beyond expectations. Every human sense is considered to make the experience a cognitive delight - sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste and yes, taste. You can’t eat it, but you hunger for more and more of the experience. It’s hard to put the overall experience into words, but the end result is the 991 becomes a part of you when you are in the driver’s seat. It delivers strength and composure in all areas. It can drive you to work and back through the

week quietly and comfortably, but you will be tempted to keep it in sport mode with the exhaust button on loud. You can absorb the complimentary and perfectly timed downshifts with a blip of accelerator to make you sound like the world’s best driver. It is infectious and I doubt I would ever tire of it. The Porsche Club Queensland 40th celebrations included joining with the Noosa Beach Classic Car club Noosa Hillclimb, where Porsche was the nominated marque vehicle for the weekend. Porsche Centre Brisbane was one of the sponsors for the event and amongst other things, provided the course vehicle for Kevin Bartlett to drive up and down the track to collect run groups. The 991 course vehicle was a Carrera S with a number of nice options including the 7-speed PDK gearbox. I’m a fan now….. don’t give up on it until you’ve had a decent drive.
I was trusted with driving the course car to Noosa and back for the weekend. Kevin Bartlett was the only person who could drive the 991 on the course and he was impressed too. I think his initial thoughts before driving the car were a little subdued. The more he drove the car, the more he explored the dynamics and also the various driving modes that are available at the push of a button. He initially tried the standard auto mode, then sport mode and ultimately sport plus mode. He made the comment that the sport plus mode was not a gimmick, he was actually very complimentary of the sport plus mode and the PDK. I want to thank Dave Marshall from Porsche Centre Brisbane for the opportunity and pleasure of driving the 991. My wife would like to thank you as well, because all I do now is look up lease calculators and annoy her more than usual.

An Artist with a Porsche Passion Porsches as artwork; an uncommon artistic subject, but very exciting to those of us with the Porsche passion. Combining his passion for both Porsches and motorsport, Robin Pierre Versluys has now established himself as artist that brings these subjects magically to life in acrylic paint. Robin Versluys is an artist and a huge Porsche fan. He is now retired and living in Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast, but back in the ‘70’s and 80’s he was a very successful designer of furnishing and fabrics in Melbourne. He was also very active in the Porsche Club of Victoria at a time when some very influential Porsche identities were seen commonly at club events. Robin first fell in love with Porsches upon seeing his first 356B, a bright yellow cabriolet when he was just 6 years old. This early affinity with cars (particularly Porsches) led him to many, many motorsport events, including the Le Mans 24 hours in 1970. This just happened to be the year that Steve McQueen was also on location making his epic, legendary motorsport film Le Mans, which featured the legendary

Club of Victoria ‘A-grade’ championship in the car. Soon after he sold the RS, something that he regrets to this day, especially given what the cars are changing hands for these days.
Robin started his own Porsche story when he bought his first Porsche, a brown 911 2.7 in 1976. This started a long and exciting list of cars that many of us would be proud to own today. These included:
In the mid-eighties, Robin came up to Queensland to participate in the Porsche Club Nationals (the event is now called Porsche Parade. This gave him his first taste of Queensland, that eventually saw him move here for good and he now resides in Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast.

A black SC purchased in 1978;
•
His most illustrious Porsche, a beautiful red ’73 RS (modified to 3.0 RS look);
•
A 928S manual (rare at any time and a reflection of sporting nature);
•
A 356A coupe; and
•
Finally, two at the same time, a black 2.0S 911 along with a black 2.7 911 Targa.
Robin was very active in club motorsport, mainly in his beautiful red RS, thoughts of which still brings an immense smile to his face – you can still see the gleam in his eyes when he talks about it too. In 1980, he won the Porsche

Today, Robin’s great passion is to paint portraits. Whilst cars do feature prominently, he also does some very interesting work in all other areas of portrait painting and recently held an exhibition called “Retro Nudes” at Noosa – excellent painting, but probably not sufficiently Porsche related for this magazine (Sorry guys).

MY TARGA EXPERIENCE 2014
Article and Photos by Rod McCray
I have again ventured to Tasmania for the 23rd Targa Tasmania. I was keen to compete again, because under the Australian Targa Championship regulations, if I successfully completed three Targa events in a row, I would be awarded a Golden Trophy. I also had to compete to defend my two-year Class Championship status. The course this year had 38 stages and we travelled approximately 2,000+ kilometres over some of Tasmania’s most breathtaking roads. I say breathtaking, because ‘The Sideling Road’ stage had us driving over mountains with a drop off of 500 metres plus and with no guard rails. On a clear day, from The Sideling you can see the Furneaux Islands in Bass Strait, over 100 kilometres away. Unfortunately for our run, it wasn’t clear and the freshly completed road works didn’t help either. Of course there’s Queenstown with the beautiful colours of its surrounding mountains, but you really don’t get the chance to appreciate it in the 7 kilometres it takes to cover the course; you miss the thrilling views. We were watching the weather report anxiously on the weeks leading up to the event and were expecting chilly temperatures, maybe even snow. However, as it turned out, the day we got to Tasmania they experienced an “Indian Summer”, with temperatures only getting to 2 degrees for the coldest morning in Strahan on the west coast and a moderate daily temperature ranging from 15 – 17 during the day. In the first few days of the event, the ‘Weather Gods’ smiled on us, but by the fourth day, all bets were off and Tasmania showed it’s true colours and some competitors, experienced and novice alike, felt the cruel side of Tasmania inclement weather. In one day we lost 34 cars from the event. Some cars could be repaired and some had to retire from Targa. The Service crews had a frantic night attempting to rebuild cars in the rain and with near freezing

conditions. Luckily for us, we sat down to an enjoyable meal and drink at the local pub to commiserate with some competitors whose Targa journey was over for the year. Part of the regulations for Targa is blowing ‘zero’ on a breathalyser every morning before the start of the event. Some crews discovered that their metabolism wasn’t as efficient as they thought and had a very worrying 1530 minute wait after blowing positive when leaving the Silverdrome (Park Ferme). Luckily for those competitors, taking the 30 minute wait, along with lots of coffee and bitting of fingernails, they managed to pass the dreaded breathalyser and preceded out on the race stage, before the clearance car. This year we were also breathalysed at varies stages throughout the event, although I don’t know where they thought we could stop and have a beer during the race. This year, some cars including Frank’s were spot checked by CAMS for compliance as per their documentation. I believe some competitors’ vehicles did not pass this additional scrutineering and luckily for them, only their classing was changed (they could have been excluded from the event). CAMS and Targa Australia have changed regulations and all cars now have meet new guidelines for next year which will affect their classing. They have also changed the event tyre allowance from 8 tyres to 6 tyres for the entire event. Anybody who competes in Targa next year is guaranteed a position in the 2016 Targa Tasmania event. For those of you who feel the need for speed or like pushing yourself and your car to its limits, then Targa Tasmania is the event for you. You don’t need to have the latest and greatest vehicle to compete, as this event is more about driver ability and vehicle set up to get the most out of the event. One of the front runners this year was a Datsun 1200, but unfortunately for this vehicle, the driver ability wasn’t as good as he thought it was. This year I had time to do a bit of sight-seeing
NEWS
before I started the event and visited many ‘must-do’ Tassie tourist wonders, including Smithton, Stanley, the historic Highfield house and The Nut, Tarkine Forest Adventure at Dismal swamp - the largest sink hole in the southern hemisphere, Hellyer Road Whiskey Distillery, the Don River Railway and the home of Tasmania’s first Prime Minister, all in the North and North West of Tasmania. Targa field this year included 1934 Ford “Indy” Car coming from Queensland, 1938 Dodge speedster from Tasmania, Porsches old and new, Holdens, Alfa Romeos, Triumphs, Toranas, Morgans, Fords, Aston Martins, Minis, Nissan/ Datsuns, Mazdas, Lancer Evos, Chevrolets and Lotus’ to name a few. Unfortunately, Jason White’s $600 000 Lamborghini went up in smoke at the Wrest Point event of the Championship, but never to be caught without a back-up, he ran a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 to continue his Targa Championship. Unfortunately he came unstuck and failed to finish. This year Jim Richards and his constant companion Barry Oliver “downgraded” to a 2014 Porsche Cayman and they loved it up until they had a little incident, which forced them to retire. Another favourite Tasmanian son – Jamie Vandenberg, successfully completed the course and won the event much to the crowd’s delight. I tried different tyres on my car this year on the advice from a Tyre specialist, but I never felt confident with them and it showed in my stage times this year. I was seconds slower than last year in every stage compared to the year before. The inconsistency of the tyre’s grip gave me no confidence in where I could place my car and believe me, on Tasmanian roads that is not something you want to experience. Out of the four Queensland Porsche Club members who competed this year, three of us completed the event in Trophy time. Unfortunately, one of our party had mechanical issues on the last day and had to retire.

Frank Purdy in his 2009 Nissan GTR finished 4th outright (a brilliant effort), Paul Henry in his 1993 Porsche 968 finished first in his class (well done) and said it was his best performance in the eight times he has competed. I just managed to complete the event in Trophy time (overall 15 minutes slower than last year) and picked up my Gold Trophy (Congrats, well done – Ed.). There are those in their 2005 Porsche 911 turbo who have chalked it up to the Targa Tassie experience and are willing to try again next year. Due to the lack of space on the boat coming back after Targa finished, we were lucky enough to have a few days after the event to do more sightseeing. This time we travelled around the state to see Lake Pedder, up to the Gordon River dam, Resolution Creek at Two Tree Point (where Captain Cook stopped to take on fresh water) on Bruny Island, south from Hobart (the trees are still growing on the Point and looked almost the same as the sketch on the plaque), Coal Mines Penal site at Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsular (where you can clearly see the coal seam running along the beach front), Lake Dove and Wombat Pool in the Cradle Mountains, Cape Tournville Lighthouse and Coles Bay on the Freycinet Peninsular, Bicheno Blowhole on the East Coast. We also took a drive across the Central Highlands, where we ran into cloud literally and could hardly see three metres in front of the car. We took a short cut on our way to Latrobe to pick up the trailer and race car, then headed on to Devonport to board the Spirit of Tasmania, to head back to the mainland. It was a nice gentle crossing, with only four metre seas. We then had another two days driving ahead of us to get back to Brisbane. Following a successful Targa, we arrived in Brisbane with body and car intact. Since returning, I have been talked into going for the Platinum trophy (for competing five years in a row) and because 2016 is the 25th anniversary of Targa, unique trophies will be awarded to those who compete. I like to thank John Gill for his invaluable work on the vehicle as my Pit Crew for this year’s event.

Miracles Can Happen
Story and Photos by Will Holzheimer
And I am living proof of this. On Tuesday October 15th 2013, I was the driver of the Porsche 996 Cup Car that crashed at turn six at Queensland Raceway. The accident tragically claimed the life of Sean Edwards, and left myself critically injured. If you saw the remains of the car, you would concur that it is a true miracle that I even survived. There has been no report released from the Coroner as yet; we are still awaiting the findings and this could take a year or so. A quick recount for those who may not be aware of the accident. At approximately 10.30am, my Cup Car hit the concrete wall in front of turn 6 at about 190km/h, and soon after burst into flames. It took emergency services 2-3 hours to open the car and remove me from the wreckage, as I was jammed inside. They had to assume the worst, with my injuries and could not afford to remove me quickly. As soon as I was freed from the car, I was air-lifted to the Royal Brisbane
26
PORSCHE
and Women’s Hospital. I underwent immediate emergency surgeries to stabilise my injuries. During my 26 day stay in the Intensive Care Unit, I had to have numerous orthopaedic surgical procedures, some of which lasted up to 8 hours. I was then moved into another ward for 9 weeks where I had some further surgery and spent time recovering. After this, I progressed to a rehabilitation ward for 11 weeks, before I was totally discharged from hospital and was allowed to return home. All up, I spent approximately 5 month’s hospital. Just for the record, I sustained NO burns, contrary to media reports. A few huge ‘thanks’ are deserved; to Charles Holzheimer who was the first person on scene and who instigated and organised the initial fire crews and other persons who helped with the fire control. David Holzheimer, who was also trackside at the time and never stepped away from the car until Police forced the crowd back into pits. Cam O’Neill who was the first trackside medic at the scene. Matt

Kingsley and Grant Sparks, who were also at the scene to provide whatever assistance was required. Jo, my mother who was there every day postaccident and has case managed my rehabilitation and Emily Cooper, who was present every day of my hospital stay and recovery, and who always put me and my needs first, even over her own. The Emergency trauma surgeons, who managed to save both of my legs and other injuries. The ICU Doctors, who never ever gave up and were always positive about my recovery and care; all of the visitors during my hospital stay, including Dave Beard. I’m sure there are many other people who also assisted, supported my family and had me in their thoughts for some time, there are just too many people to list, so I too thank you for your constant best wishes. Another piece of proof that it is a miracle, is that I am very lucky to be alive and have so far had no complications from my extensive list of injuries.

OAKEY SPRINTS
Let start with the temperature..FN freezen! That is my foremost recollection of the Oakey Street Sprints held in July, the weekend before our 40th weekend at Noosa. As a track tart looking at getting into a greater variety of motorsport, Oakey Sprints puts getting heat into the tyres in the early morning runs as easy as finding a hot bath in our motor inn. Maybe I need to toughen up, but waking up with ice on your car certainly puts an interesting spin on your day. Oakey Sprints consist of a 1km sprint through an industrial estate, with chicanes to take the edge off excessive speeds. Not sure

how many Porsches have appeared on track since the inaugural event kicked off in 2009, but given the calls I received from organisers to reclass my car due to complaints from fellow street registered competitors, I’d think not too many. I ended up in a class against a Nascar race ute. Track preparation? I emailed off my entry back in early June and hadn’t done a thing to prepare the RS. I made sure to draw a line through my calendar to make sure I had no meetings planned on the Friday, so we could be at Oakey for scrutineering after lunch. The
NEWS
Article by Dave Beard
tyres were perfect, with a fresh $780 wheel alignment, so at 5am on the Friday I thought I had better take a closer look at the RS. How times have changed. I scrolled through the dash modes to ‘TYRE PRESSURES’ and saw on my dash I had 34lb on both front tyres and 36lbs on both back tyres. Great! Scrolled next through to ‘OIL LEVEL CHECK’ and the engine did a digital scan in front of my eyes and saw I had perfect oil levels. So a final check of brake fluids, a grab of my race suit and I’m gone. As for my race helmet, it has not left the back of my RS in the 4 years I have owned the car.
You never know when opportunities present themselves. I do recall one such opportunity where I grabbed the helmet, gloves and the race suit I still had in the car, along with another club member on our Rennsport weekend road trip to Sydney. I mistakenly thought that fully suiting-up and meeting the rest of the Porsche drivers on the side of the highway at dawn would be a good way to start our ‘meet and greet’. Well, we were in stiches for around 30 seconds until an errant police car drove past us, with the Officer hardly believing his eyes, setting off what could only be described as World War 3. Note to self… Don’t suit up with helmet, gloves and a race suit on a major public road in a GT3 RS, with a visible red roll cage, boasting a large number 30 on the door. I found NSW Police will struggle to believe you aren’t racing. Oh, no front number plate didn’t help either. Yes I know I know. Anyone who is familiar with my track day requirements, all I need is the time. Given free time away from endless emails, I’ll happily race around a roundabout. And regarding the Oakey sprints, that’s pretty much what it is, two loops of an industrial estate, each lap of approximately 750m. Sounds pretty uneventful
and easy, but like a lot of things, all is not what it seems. Just ask our good mate Holzy. If you know Phil well, you’ll know that Phil will never do things by halves, leave too much to chance or rely just on talent - which clearly he has. Just as Phil does, a lot of our fellow club members want the reliance of skill to be the last resort. I guess I can’t talk, but to see the 140 strong field of bombed Ford Anglia’s, over powered Datsun 120Y’s with Skyline engines, an XE Falcon with the engine moved between the front seats, an 800hp Ford Fairlane, a V8 supercar-powered Shelby Cobra, it was clear that most of the regions farms had an overactive mechanical minded son, who knew his way around a lathe and was fearless. I don’t recall seeing two of the same of anything. I did see a nice original FB Holden from the early 60’s in the pits. Very straight, but when the bonnet was popped, I saw it was running a small block Chev. So when Holzy rolls up and pulls his V8 Radical off his trailer - which no doubt would be de Jour at the ‘Ring, it was I suspect the first Radical to grace Oakey Street Sprints. So that makes the Radical also the first Radical to DNF at an Oakey Sprints, after an understeering moment into the concrete
barrier. The cold tyres were no doubt to blame. If anything positive came out of this, it certainly was allowing my roommate Brad Rankin to have his own room that night. I have to say Phil wasn’t the only off, with 6 or7 offs throughout each day affecting the flow of runs. Enough to convince me to pilot the RS around in a sensible time and have a bit of fun along the way. I was on 100% street legal road tyres, which performed pretty well, but nowhere near as reassuring or as fast as A6 Hill Climb Hoosiers. On the Saturday night, they had burn out competitions on the track and judging from the amount of rubber on the road (and various bits of small engine parts), they had a great time. It did make the first runs on Sunday morning pretty perilous, so I packed up and headed home. John Gill had also headed home by this stage in his slick shod 928 S4. So where did I come? I won my class, but only 30th fastest from 140 odd competitors. Most importantly, I was able to drive back to Brisbane, stop in at Hoppies along the way and have the car parked back at home, spick and span, ready for next weekend round of events at Noosa.

I’ve loved Porsches my whole life and seeing one as a kid would always brighten up my day. We’ve driven Porsches on road and track in the UK, US and Australia and although these were wonderful experiences, we’ve always dreamed of owning our own 911. So far it’s doing surprisingly well as a “family car” - we also have a Subaru wagon but our boys always insist on being dropped off to school in the Porsche!

The Porsche Queensland Connection 7 Years ago I bought my first Porsche. I originally purchased my 996 Carrera (nicknamed “Silver Bullet”) from Queensland, and was surprised at the time to find out that the car had been bought brand new by the then president of Porsche Club Queensland. To this day, the car still carries the PCQ sticker, in reference to it’s origins. I remember when I flew over to pick it up, thinking I wish I had more time to give it a decent run, alas work prevailed and I simply dropped it off to Ceva Logistics and flew home. After many incredible years of fun with Silver Bullet, I recently decided to upgrade to a newer Porsche, a 2007 Cayman S. After a year of searching Carsales for the right one (you all know what I mean), I found a pristine low kilometre Cayman S with all the right upgrades, funnily enough, located once again in Brisbane. With all the right feedback from a Porsche Centre prepurchase inspection, I decided to fly to Brisbane to sign the deal and take delivery. This time it would be different, as I allocated enough time to give the Cayman and myself the chance to bond by embarking on a weekend driving adventure through the hinterland and valleys of the Sunshine Coast Arriving at 5.30 Brisbane time, I was picked up by the seller at the airport, did my final test drive and paperwork, and by 7.30am Saturday, I was off and running.

What an amazing Saturday. Straight up to Brisbane’s Mt Cootha lookout and then off through various mountain passes north west of Brisbane, up through the valleys surround Wivenhoe Dam and Lake Somerset, north through the winding roads of the lower hinterland around the famous Glass House Mountain, lunch up at famous Maleny town, and then a solid inland backroads trek through glorious unused roads all the way up to Gympie. Now most big runs in my Silver Bullet I would normally do with the club or a bunch of Porsche enthusiasts. Having that whole day with the Cayman of just driving and experiencing, without distraction and with a single focus, well it was just incredible. The morning of Sunday unfortunately was quite bleak. With rain pouring down, I made the long journey back to Brisbane, trying to balance my enthusiasm with careful application of the throttle. By about 1pm, I decided to leave the valleys and highway and venture up a mountain pass, completely different from the way I had left Brisbane. As I worked my way up Mount Mee, I was amazed to come across a tiny mountain town with dozens off Porsches parked up, right at the top next to a restaurant. What were the odds… I had come across Porsche Club Queensland. I thought what the heck, time to walk in and introduce myself. With 50 or so club members enjoying

lunch, I randomly walked up two ladies and asked “This must be the Porsche Club, who’s the organiser?” Continuing the coincidence streak, the woman replied, “That would be me, I’m Donna Beard, Social Club Director”. She promptly introduced me to her friend Sharon Donsky, Treasurer. I was then introduced around the various tables, joined the club for lunch, shared my adventures, found out more information about the past owners and experiences of both my Queensland Porsches, and had an absolute laugh with my fellow Porsche enthusiasts. As everyone finally got round to leaving, the day ended with me standing on top of a table in the corner taking a photo. And this photo comes with a message, “A Big Shout Out and Hello from Porsche Club Queensland to Porsche Club WA” The moral is two-fold. Firstly, Porsche enthusiasts are the same wherever we may be. Secondly, we are meant to connect and share our passion together. What a way to top off my Queensland driving adventure.

Club Nights
Story by Sheldon Arkinstall
The usual Tuesday club night was deferred to the Wednesday for June for a very, very special event – the first viewing of the new Porsche Macan! This special event was held solely for Porsche Club Queensland members and was held the night before its official public release on the Thursday. A large contingent of our membership was in attendance, as can be seen in the photos. There were three vehicles on display on the night including the base Macan S (in both petrol and diesel versions), along with the top of the range Macan Turbo. We were given a very comprehensive run-down on the development story and specifications for the car, as well as being treated to a demonstration of the Turbo’s exhaust note. The new Macan was well received by all of those who were in attendance and has obviously already been a sales hit, with over 100 cars be bought through Porsche Centre Brisbane, sight unseen!

Radical SR3RS 2011 Not a Porsche but better than RSR lap times at a fraction of the cost (speaking from personal experience!). Easy and fun car to drive fast - Lakeside 52 seconds, QR National track 1min 10 sec, Morgan Park old track 1 min 2 sec, long track 1 min 15 sec. Run all year on 1 set of tyres, 2 years on brakes and 3years before engine rebuild ($9,000) and rebuilds come with 30 hours warranty. Currently 2 hours on engine and gearbox.Upgrades include larger brake package, 3 way adjustable shocks, sequential paddle shift with flat upshift and clutchless auto blip downshift, manually activated fire bomb. Winner of last 2 years PCQ Associate Class championship and currently running 3rd in State Clubman series against some exotic competition.

Porsche 934 Replica CAMS log booked, roll caged and road registered. Very recent engine upgrades including new 98mm pistons/barrels, carrillo rods, EFI conversion with Vi-Pec V88 ECU, twin plug, 964 plastic inlet manifold, Tial F46 waste gate, Garrett GT35/82 turbo, setup for E85 fuel, conservative mapping of ECU and small pipe extractors giving a handy 375 rear wheel horsepower from 5,000 to 6,000 RPM at 1 bar boost (my dyno man reckons better extractors with same boost and safe, but less conservative ecu mapping should give circa 440 RWHP). Freshened G50 gearbox, new Velo seats, new Momo Prototipo steering wheel, BBS wheels 18x10 fronts and 18x11 rears. Since above work the car has only done two hill climbs: PCQ HC Mt Cotton Aug 2013 and Noosa HC Nov 2013 . Car is entered for PCQ Noosa HC July 2014 . Circa $30K spent over past three years. The car is a lot of fun to drive with about 500 horsepower (at fly wheel) and weight of circa 1120KG . A very reluctant sale and the only reason the car is offered for sale being my present unplanned fiscal situation. Asking $80,000 (including a tilt trailer, numerous spare wheel sets in 16’s, 17’s and 18’s and various expensive spare parts). Alternatively I will consider relationship offers from a warm understanding lady with a nice house (and garage) willing to accommodate me and my Porsche.

1973 Porsche 911S Targa - $23,950 This is a genuine 1973 Porsche 911S Targa. It is an original right hand drive car which is nearing the tail end of a restoration. A lot of the hard work has been completed to date. It is a rolling chassis with suspension, wheels and just about everything needed to complete the restoration. The only things missing is the engine and gearbox, I believe. This would look great in the garage next to the 991 Targa.
