Seven I think with my 1976 912E being my only new car. If you take your Porsche (or any car or SUV) on a trip and hate those bugs you have to scrape off when you come home, make it easy on yourself by buying a spray bottle of Griot's Bug Barricade. Just spray on the front end of a clean car before leaving home, and smear around with a micro-fiber cloth and that's it till you wash the car. Advance Auto Parts might have some, but I think they are dropping restocking any Griot's products so order online. I have also heard any spray auto detailer will work, but Griot's I feel sure is the best. Own a Cayman and hate that sun that comes in through the rear window heating up your car in the summer and bleaching out the carpet, then go to your Porsche dealer and order a rear sun-screen. I got one when I had to brave those hot summer days in Houston, and it is still in place and works great. Thinking about a first-time clear bra for your front-end or maybe replacing the old one, skip the Scotch film and move up to Xpel film. It is somewhat self-healing I am told and after bumping my Cayman front end into an object in my garage, I can tell you the Scotch film is not self-healing. If you need recommendations on installers, let me know. Ever had a dead battery and you don't have AAA or want to wait on AAA? I have and just added a new "toy" to my car with a DB Power Supply from Amazon (where else?). It is very small and comes with a carry case and will start your car or recharge your cell phones, since it comes with 2 USB ports. Instructions say to plug into your AC and recharge twice/ year or after use. I bought the 12000 mAh model which will start up to 3L engine, but many comments from users say they have used it for much bigger engines. This model was only $51, and if you want a bigger and badder one, just pay more and get it! Ever had a flat tire and don't want to wait on a tow or squirt foam in your tire (assuming you don't have a spare), then pick up a new or used spare tire from a 996 and put into your bonnet. I have one in the front of my Cayman along with a small tool bag, torque wrench and breaker bar. Picked it up at LA Dismantler for $350, but OKLA Foreign also has them from time to time. Got a small jack also. One final thought on keeping an eye on what might be in your oil, especially if you have one of those pesky IMS bearings many are concerned about, pick up a magnetic oil plug and have your mechanic (or you) check it at every oil change looking for metal shavings. Might save you an engine. They are inexpensive and you can get at LNengineering.com for less than $26. I have one on my Cayman S. Well, that's all the tips for this month. Hope to see you at the May 21 Concours!

Article and pictures by Dave Yerzley “You’re entering an event where you are paying someone to tell you how lousy your car is. THAT, my friends, is not normal behavior. Revel in your masochism and you’ll be ok.” - James Brackenrig So the people who show their cars in concours must be a bunch of old guys who are afraid to drive them the way they were intended to be driven, so they hover and obsess around them with toothpicks and q-tips, right? Well, let’s not jump to conclusions so fast. I’ve got a 1972 911T Targa that I bought new. It’s still mostly original, including the paint, and it looks pretty good, but no one would look at it closely and mistake it for a new car. But I know of a few cars as old or older which are also original and look like they could still be on the showroom floor. I wish my car looked as good as their cars do. How did they do that? But I’m getting ahead of myself here. Let me tell you a little bit about my own concours experiences. You’ll Learn New Ways to Look at Your Car Linda and I joined PCA at the end of 2001, just after her new Boxster S had been delivered. The following year we went to the Boise Parade and, to get into the spirit of the event, we entered every competition. Never having participated in a Concours before, we spent a lot of time working on the car, trying to figure out where judges might look and coming up with ways to clean and prepare areas we had never even thought about before. We had a real advantage in that the car was relatively new, and, for beginners, we did pretty well, placing 4th in a field of 16 Boxsters. After we got back, we cleaned the car up again and entered the Santa Barbara concours in Wash & Shine, again doing reasonably well, but still with room for improvement. PAGE 5 SOLID GOLD MAY 2016 Not too long afterward, we bought a 1973 911S coupe. I had wanted the car to drive, but it was in such fundamentally good condition that I thought with a little effort it would make a good show car, so we got to work on it. We entered it in Wash & Shine a couple of times over the next year. We also went to Zone 8 Judging Schools and to various seminars on car care given by vendors to see what we could learn. Finally we decided to progress to Street division, which adds the engine and storage compartments as judged areas. This decision brought with it a new set of challenges. Finish of the sheet metal pan around the engine not too good? Drop the engine to the floor, take out all that stuff and have it powder coated. How do you repair the carpeting in the trunk with its multiple thin areas and small holes? What a mess the gas heater compartment was! But we managed to figure out how to get those and other tasks done and entered more events, getting compliments about how much progress we were making with the car and with our own skills. This year, without really planning to do so, we ended up participating in most of the Zone 8 events, winning class and division championships. So is all this really an exercise in masochism? At least once each time I’m getting a car ready for a show, I end up asking myself: “self, why in the world are you doing all this work?” And then recently I realized that in the process of cleaning, touching up paint, repairing that old carpeting that Porsche used to use (it’s really not much more than compacted lint), waxing and polishing and so on, I’d acquired a really useful set of skills. Now I have some idea about how those people managed to keep their old cars not just well, but like new. When l approach a car to clean it, I look at all sorts of places which most people never even think of but which, in the aggregate, can make the difference between a car looking ok and looking really nice. I’ve worked out all sorts of little techniques and tricks for cleaning some of these areas. Although it’s not the only possibility, participation in the various events that make up the Zone 8 Concours program is an efficient way to learn, and also to have some good times with your fellow club members. At these events you’ll have access to tremendous amounts of expertise and experience which you can take advantage of and, when the car is judged, you’ll get lots of feedback about how well what you’re doing is working, from people who have evaluated a lot of cars. You’ll be able to take even greater pride in your Porsche, knowing that it’s in the best possible condition. Concours Judge Looking for Opportunities To Offer Constructive Criticism PAGE 6 SOLID GOLD MAY 2016 So how best to get started? Read the new Manual for Zone 8 Concours Judges, posted on the Zone 8 website, and attend the Zone 8 Judge’s School, scheduled this year for Saturday, March 3. You’ll get additional insight into how a concours is conducted, along with more information about what judges look for when evaluating a car. Then start preparing your car and coming to events in the Concours schedule. With a little fun and effort, you can become an expert yourself in taking care of your car. The Result: a Well-Prepared Car Join Musik Stadt PCA for our annual Concours in the Park on May 21, 2016! Registration is now open at our website! Come out for a day of looking at beautiful Porsches and a chance to win various door prizes, including a set of Bridgestone Tires!!

Entries will be grouped into 12 classes and awards will be given for first-, second-, and third-place class winners in each category, as well as the People’s Choice and the Judge’s Choice. There also will be a special award for the car judged “exceptional” by Porsche of Nashville. If you pre-register for the Concours you will receive your event tee shirt with your car documentation at registration. If you do not pre-register you will not be given an event tee shirt! The event tee shirts will be available for sale at the Concours for $20 each. Cars will be evaluated based on specific criteria established by the PCA and published in the Parade Competition Rules (PCR) for the interior, exterior, storage compartment, and engine. Points will be deducted from 100 (perfect) against a standardized score sheet. Judges will be restricted to a standard time limit per car. Scores from the four areas will be totaled and the car with the highest score will win. MSK Concours’ judging is based on the assumption that the Porsche to be judged should be in the same state of fit, finish, and repair as the day it left the factory. The best maintained cars will be those whose owners have repaired, replaced, and/or touched up items and areas that have deteriorated from “as new” condition. Participating Classes Group 1: 48-65 Type 356 open Group 2: 48-65 Type 356 closed Group 3: 66-73 Type 911, 912 Group 4: 70-76 Type 914, 914-6 Group 7: 90-98 Type 964, 993 Group 8: 99-04 Type 996 The number of cars entered in each class will determine second and third place awards. Should more than one car have identical scores, the car(s) with the highest mileage will prevail. Group 11: Panamera, Cayenne, Macan Cleanliness will be judged only by visual inspection and not by touching the car.

Water is provided by SOLID GOLD MAY 2016 The Porsche Connection By: Ken Maurer We humans are funny creatures. We tend to form relationships with non-living objects, and not only that, but sometimes we even develop emotional attachments to those objects. In that vane, I was recently reminded of a way I used to form just such attachments with my previous sports cars — through performing some of it’s needed routine maintenance. I know, I know, it’s not nearly as glorious as getting that heel/toe downshift just right as you head into that last right hand kink just before your house, but it really does bring one closer to the machine. Changing the oil, for example, gives you a window of insight into what the inside of the motor might look like and how it’s running. Is the old oil generally clean? Are there any metallic or plastic bits trapped in the filter? Does it look (or smell) of fuel or coolant dilution? I must admit, the last few items there would not make me feel all that great, but I do feel great when the oil comes out looking used, but nice and clean all things considered. Ditto for the brake fluid when you do a flush (and, if you do a flush, might I recommend a Power Bleeder - makes the job very easy). The spark plugs too, don’t forget about those — another window, this time into the combustion chamber and how well your Porsche is burning that air/fuel charge. You also might find little reminders of your Porsche adventures of the past along the way, like I did with one of my underbody panels. The passage of time had created a small tear in of the panels which was spreading and prompted my replacing it, but while doing so, I saw some other small nicks and scars in the same panel. “Oh yes” I thought, “I bet that happened when that 4x4 cut over in front of me on the highway and a large rock filled dirt clod came loose and clobbered me.” Granted, it wasn’t the best Porsche experience I’ve had, but my Cayman and I survived it fine, and it’s now a part of our history. Little things like that might jump up at you along the way, prompting those walks down memory lane. You may also find new connections with friends and other PCA members as you converse back and forth about various projects and suggestions and assistance for proper completion (or finding that torque value you need!). I know I’ve found that doing the maintenance myself now, a task I initially undertook to save some money, is extremely fulfilling in itself. Indeed the money I saved became secondary, as I ended up spending much of the savings on other, less pressing, though still relevant, maintenance items. A bonus is that each time you jack up your Porsche and remove the wheels is an opportunity to clean all the old brake dust out from the barrels. So the next time your Porsche needs an oil change, or brake fluid flush, consider doing it yourself. You just might end up creating a whole new bond between you and your Porsche.
