CLASSIC CAR SHOOT

President, Garth Webber Atkins

In May, I was contacted by a journalist from Germany who was doing an article about a road trip with a Macan, which would pass through Victoria. He was interested in doing a couple of side stories about the club and the members’ classic Porsches. I worked with our Technical & Classics Chair Paul Rossmo to identify a few cars that spanned the models and decades.

Many thanks to those who turned out to the Oak Bay Marina parking lot on short notice to ensure a story for Jochen:

Ernie Yakomovic 356 Speedster Geoffrey Melnychuk 1968 911S Henry Choy 1984 911 Carrera Targa Bernhard Alde 1997 Boxster

Sam Auerbach 1989 928 S4

James Renfrew Steve Titus Klaus Kreye Uli Jaeckel 1978 928 924S 944 1993 968

Here’s a picture of the group, as orchestrated by Marcus, the photographer. Unfortunately, Ernie had to leave before the photographer arrived, so he and the Speedster (see previous page) were not able to be in the group shot, which was really too bad.

After the photo shoot, several of us gathered at the Penny Farthing for an hour or so, and it was really delightful to spend some time with other classic car owners. I think we should do something similar in the future.
