his month’s column will provide another behind the scenes look at the club. Your Board met last Tuesday in Victoria, as we tend to do in the summer months. In August we will gather in the Comox Valley and I am looking forward to that. We typically bring our own take-out to the meeting room about 30 minutes before the scheduled start time to eat and greet. As is almost always the case, we had a quorum. Board members attending, in addition to myself were Treasurer Tim Evans, Secretary Michael Holan, Membership Director Garth Webber Atkins, Newsletter Director Steve Fairbrother, South Island Director Didier Moinier, Mid Island Director Dan Bourlet (via FaceTime). Guests included Rally Chair Klaus Kreye, former Membership Director and organizer of the Spring Fling Drives, Imogen Burr and former President Brad Blaney. We discussed a couple of issues related to our driving events. First, we discussed the pros and cons of requiring online preregistration (via MSR). The main benefits are that the organizer knows in advance who is attending and can have the liability insurance waiv-
I
am impressed with the number of members joining MSR, the main reason is because it is the means by which we organise, advertise, receive payment, report and communicate regarding our Club events but also they hope to win one of the $50 monthly prizes! However, (expanding on John’s note above), if you missed the MSR registration cut-off, please do NOT just turn up at an event and expect to be allowed to participate. This is especially true if the event requires a payment (such as the West Coast Drive), or extra planning dependent on numbers (e.g. the next rally) or food selection (Valentine’s) or a limit on attendees (such as New Member Social).
er forms ready. Also, MSR allows us to compile a list of attendees and compare to previous years. Finally, MSR allows any fees to be collected in advance, again making the organizer’s life a lot easier. On the flip side, if we require MSR preregistration we are essentially placing a barrier to participation to those who choose to join at the last minute or who simply do not like to preregister. For an organizer, it’s no fun telling someone who shows up without preregistering that they cannot participate. That seems unfriendly, at best. There was a fulsome discussion of the pros and cons and we’ll discuss a policy at the June meeting. If you have any thoughts on this, email me. The second drive-related issue dealt with how to respond to members who, on a drive, knowingly act in a way contrary to what was discussed at the driver meeting. Speeding and passing the lead car are examples of dangerous and disrespectful behaviour. What (Continued on page 6)
situation. IF the event is a drive only, it may be their decision to allow them or not (to be confirmed). They must still have attended the drivers’ briefing of course, so if they missed that—too bad, they are excluded! Of course, ALL ATTENDEES AND PASSENGERS need to sign the PCA waiver for our insurance purposes. So please, everyone get organised, register early via MSR for an event to be included and also receive all the relevant information for attendees.

should the consequences be for a first or subsequent occurrence? PCA has tour standards (not guidelines) and our ability to get liability insurance at a good price depends on compliance with these standards. Again, there was a great discussion and we resolved to think on it and develop a club policy at the next meeting.
Each month we receive reports from the Treasurer, Membership Director and Newsletter Director and May was no exception. Our financial position remains healthy, according to Tim Evans; we have new Porscher advertisers reports Steve Fairbrother; membership increased in April bringing us to 574 according to Garth Webber Atkins.
We briefly discussed succession and the composition of the 2020 VIRPCA Board. After a two-year term, I will be stepping off the Board and assuming the role of Past President. Didier has said he will retire, leaving the South Island Director position open. The other Directors will decide to stay on the Board, retire or to seek a different position. Ideally, we want an effective but convivial mix of experienced Directors and newcomers. There will be more to say about the structure of the Board leading up to the AGM and election on October 13.
The last item on the Board agenda that I will mention is Garth Webber Atkins’ update on the strategic planning process she is leading. As you read in May Porscher, the Board Committee met on April 6 and again on May 11. The details are still under discussion by the Board so it would be inappropriate for me to provide details here. That said however, the process was highly successful and soon a suite of activities implemented over the next three years to improve the club will be presented for your information.
North Island Director Paul Atterton drafted several resolutions to improve our financial reporting and we will endeavour to implement these in advance of the AGM. While we are in many ways ‘just a car club’ we are governed by the BC Societies Act and we try to do our best to comply with these requirements. Of course, we are one of 144 PCA regions across Canada and the USA. PCA also has standards and guidelines that we do our best to adhere to. My view is that we should not let excellence be the enemy of the good when it comes to compliance and our energies are best spent providing members with value and great event opportunities.
PORSCHER — JUNE 2019
As Chair of the Board meeting it’s my aim to keep it under two hours. As the clock passed 8pm we decided to adjourn and continue the discussion at the next Board meeting – Tuesday June 11 at Uptown Shopping Centre Community Room.
Finally, the schedule of drives, tours and socials in the month of June is published in Around the Bend on page 37.

Ken and Lorraine Glover – 20 Years with Vancouver Island Region Ken’s Porsche journey started in the summer of 1998 when he spotted a little black car at Speedway Motors, and it made a strong impression. He’d drive by at night just to visit, and imagine the fun they could have together, but it was a little out of reach, and alas, one night it was gone. Ken found a more affordable vehicle, a Lexus, and tried to make it work, but it just wasn’t the same. One day, in March 1999, he saw that same little black car back on the lot at Speedway Motors. But he was a family man and had to be practical. So he asked his then 12 year old daughter to get into the back seat, and see how she liked it. After being assured it would just be around town and not for long road trips, she gave the OK. This time, with the tradein value of the Lexus, the cheque he had to write didn’t seem quite so bad, and the 1992 911 C2 Turbo went to its new home. In May, Ken joined the Vancouver Island Region of the Porsche Club of America.
Ken and the little black car are still together after all these years, though it now shares garage and driveway space with a 2005 996 Turbo S Cabriolet, a 2006 Cayenne Turbo S, a 2005 M-B

Ken was very active in the club for many years and served as Treasurer from 2000 to 2004 and President in 2005 and 2006. He particularly enjoyed the autocross events, working his way up from the bottom of the ranking to winning the VIR’s season championships in 2003 and 2010 and placing third overall in the Island Autocross Championship in 2003 with basically a daily driven stock car using track tires. His daughter Dana also drove in autocross events in later years after she got her driver’s license. Some of his fondest memories are of the road trips that he and his wife Lorraine took with other Porsche owners they met through the club, forming close and lasting friendships they keep to this day. Ken’s words of wisdom to other Porsche owners : Drive your car, it will cost you less to maintain if it gets regular use. All of his Porsches have over 140,000kms on them, have been owned for at least 7 years and are driven regularly.

At 10am Sunday May 5th, around 14 Club members gathered at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit for a short session by Tyson Johnson on his 2nd On-Ramp talks of 2019. Tyson discussed seating position, corner lines, braking and other details that would help members get the best of their vehicles whether it is used on the track or on the public roads. After the session, the members set off on a drive counter-clockwise around the Marine Circle Route via Lake Cowichan, Port Renfrew (for a great lunch a leisurely chat), Sooke and on to Victoria.

I asked VIR member Tony Booth some questions about his Porsche and Club experiences— here are his responses and great photos. What was your first car? It was a Morris Minor, not the Minor of the 1950’s fame but earlier, from 1932. These looked like the MG ‘M’ type. I was 15 at the time and could only drive it initially on private roads until I was 17 years old. Had it for 4 years and sold it for 15 pounds and a trumpet! It taught me a lot about old cars. Rosemary had other view points. Very happy memories. Tony & Rosemary Booth
How did you become a Porsche owner? That’s the classic question that I often ask other Porsche owners. In my case, I became a Porsche owner when we moved to live, and me work in San Francisco, 29 years ago. Our Realtor at the time knew how much I liked sports cars and he surprised me with a contact who had a 912 that “I just had to see.” I did too. Rosemary needed her own vehicle so it became hers sort of! A nice original car that we kept and have enjoyed ever since. When did you decide you wanted a Porsche? When I was about 10 years old, driving with my father in London when England was still recovering from WW2. I saw a 356 and to me it might have been a space ship. It left a lasting impression. 1969 Porsche 912 in Cowichan Bay 2017
PORSCHER — JUNE 2019
What car do you have now and how do you mostly use it? Still have the 912 and now a 1997 Porsche 993 and a few years ago added a 1994 Porsche 968. I seem to have acquired all last model year cars, even a 1980 MGB LE. Each one perhaps the best of that modPage 22
el’s line. Daily drivers are our Honda CRV Touring and the 968 which has a great Tiptronic transmission - which is unfairly and incorrectly maligned by some. The 968 is to Canadian specifications and was a special order colour (Code 57/L37E) one of 18 special 968’s produced and is the only one of it’s kind in Canada. Our 968 is an ideal daily runner.
Morris Minor
What drew you to join PCA? First enjoyable encounters were in San Francisco but I didn’t join PCA until 2005 after I retired back in Calgary, as my career was international and took us both to live in many other parts of the world. I remembered their friendliness and great 4-cam engines! What drew you to the club? PCA Wild Rose in Calgary was the first region that we joined. Having a 912 was a rarity but over the years several more 912 owners joined and soon local technical knowhow on these vintage models grew, as did the Region. Back then the Calgary Race City Speedway was flourishing and track events were staged which led me to qualify over consecutive years for an FIA sanctioned / WCMA Competition licence, with other clubs. We organized road trips which were enjoyed with like-minded members. What has kept you in the club? Now living on Vancouver Island since 2007 (north of The Malahat) one big attraction has been the 4-day events held at Crown Isle and Black Rock. We used to come from Calgary, as the end of May was usually the first trip of the season there. Back then the friendliness of VIR and their brilliant and often irreverent sense of fun was most appreciated. Perhaps one of the many reasons why we moved out here?

What sort of club events do you, or did you, get involved in We often led some long trips. The most enjoyable was the 2600 km. round trip to the 54th Porsche Parade in Keystone, Colorado. My 912 was leading 1st in-class in the Concours until a local car in the Historic Class which was trailered only 7 kms to get there, was deemed the winner and our car was awarded 2nd. place. The rules have been changed since - I hope! Disappointment soon turned into fear as at 11,200 ft. ASL on the Bear Tooth Range as our 1582 cc. motor, which gives out 102 DIN HP at the best of times, felt like 10 HP. We love that little yellow Porsche - it’s a survivor! At VIR Peter Beyeler started what was to become the annual track event at the Tofino Airport. I took on the job of formalizing the event with procedures by Dan Boulet (especially the safety and classroom instruction for Novice track drivers). The team took it upon themselves to hold the early events without the back-up of PCA until we could satisfy their HPDE standards. Not like we could rent a commercial track and staff back then as there is on the Island now. We had to start from scratch which was a very risky endeavour. Very memorable times with great people who made it all happen. Our best club experience so far. Best driving experience – ever? Driving the old 21 km. Nürburgring Nordschleife when I was 19 years old, both of us students at the time. It was with my father’s Austin Westminster. Not surprisingly, I was lapped twice by a Mercedes 190 on test, or as I said to Rosemary “there must be 2 Mercedes being tested on the track today!”
Many thanks to Tony and Rosemary, Porsche devotees indeed!

Saturday May 4th at Porsche Centre Victoria, current Porsche Macan owners gathered to see the unveiling of the 2019 refresh of the model. Under the obligatory black wrap was a new colour for the Macan range— Green Mamba (see below). I think it takes some getting used to but it will certainly stand out on the road. The new model has many changes, the major ones being a revised front end with a spoiler and an LED light bar across the boot similar to all new models appearing now. The base 2.0l straight 4 model has a single turbo with power at 248hp and the S model has increased from 340hp to 348hp. The front LED light bar below the headlamp cluster has moved down to lower in the intake and the fog lights have been deleted. LED headlights are now standard, as is the Navigation module (maps) in PCM which now has a larger 10.9” touch screen. Contact Porsche Centre Victoria for full details and prices.

Once again, this year Imogen Burr organized and lead her Spring Fling drive from Eagle Creek to a new destination—this year it was to Sheringham Distillery in Sooke. You may have heard of the name recently on TV and radio as they won “Best Contemporary Gin in the World” award at the 2019 World Gin Awards! Wow indeed. We all had a breakfast at Quality Foods first (signing PCA waivers while we waited for plates to arrive at our tables) and then Imogen gathered everyone for the mandatory PCA Drivers’ Meeting. Some people had not registered via MSR at they should—see my Editor’s Comment on page 5 for my view on this. The drive took about 40 minutes to the distillery, winding around the country roads with everyone (except one) enjoying the drive and natural beauty of our BC roads. At Sheringham’s, we had a tour around the back room distillery which appeared to be a plumber’s dream job as there were copper & chromed pipes everywhere! Jennifer our tour host explained the process by which the different drinks were produced. Then those who wanted to try a small sampling of Gin, Vodka and Coffee Liqueur were able to (very small thimble size amounts). After that, many purchased products from Sheringham’s and we said our goodbyes and drove back to Eagle Creek with many diverting home along the way. Many thanks to Imogen for the event and of course to Sheringham’s proprietors Alayne & Jason MacIsaac.
