The President’s Column
Another Banner Year
2
015 was another banner year for the Santa Barbara
Region, and it was a dream come true for me. Twelve
months went by in a blur with so many fun events, almost
50 for the year. Some personal highlights include the Tire
Rack Street Survival School, where we help young drivers develop car control skills that may save
their lives. 2015 celebrated the return
of Autocross to our region, giving our
members the opportunity to test the
handling limits of their cars in a safe
environment. Of course, the marquee
event for the year was the Concours
at Sherwood Country Club, a perfect
day in a gorgeous setting.
Nationally, Der Auspuff was recMIKE HODSON
ognized as the best newsletter of the
year with the presentation of the Betty
Jo Turner Award to our Editor, John Alfenito. It is indeed an
honor to have John in our region.
Your board has been working hard to make sure that 2016
will be another exciting year for our members. We begin the
year with a long weekend visit to Coronado Island, followed by
monthly events taking us to interesting and different destinations. Our goal is to explore new areas of interest to keep the
event schedule fresh and lively. Meanwhile, traditional events,
such as the Progressive Dinner, Chili Cook-off and Concours,

are planned to give continuity to the year. We realize that our
members look forward to these annual events. Two autocrosses
are scheduled for the year, one in the spring and another in the
fall. In recognition of our new members and our legacy members, a picnic is scheduled for June. Our motive is to welcome
new members and help them get acquainted as well as to salute
our legacy members for their loyalty to our club.
It wasn’t too long after joining PCA in 2002 that I became an
informal volunteer. My help was appreciated, and I never sensed
the us-versus-them culture that is so typical in organizations of
any type. As a family, we always felt sincerely welcomed at PCASBR events which, sadly, is not always the case when special
needs folks are involved. Nobody in the club cared that I didn’t
have the latest, greatest, most expensive car in the lot.
My experience with other clubs and organizations was seldom
positive. Initially, the group may seem inviting; however, quickly
the reality phase sets in. The subtleties of personality conflicts
and political maneuvering have always been lost on me. My very
literal nature has served me well at times; other times, it has
been a tremendous liability. Never having to think about such
things made my enjoyment of our club much better.
“It’s not the cars, it’s the people” is more than just a slogan.
Those who are not involved in PCA often perceive us as a snobby bunch, when quite the opposite is true. Celebrating my 15th
year of membership and the beginning of my second term as
President, I am grateful for the lifelong friendships that I have
made and for the wonderful memories of so many special events
over the years. Thanks to everyone in the club for making 2015
one of the best years of my life. 2016 promises to be even better!

My special thanks to Keith Goldberg

gentlemen put up with
my frequent inquiries
about the car’s progress
(as the months crept by).
They were wonderful to
deal with and, if I was annoying them, they never
let on. We are very happy
with the car, and I promise to stop talking about
it all the time in the next
few weeks (months?).
Speaking of new cars, I visited the Los Angeles International
Auto Show (see front cover) in November and spent some
time shooting pictures at the Porsche exhibit in Petree Hall.
The photos are on page 25. I hope you enjoy them. As always,
Porsche’s display was impressive.

I
am truly looking forward to the new year, and many of you
know why. Early last year, Porsche Club of America announced the Carrera GTS “Club Coupe,” which was to be a
limited edition run of 60 cars to commemorate PCA’s 60th
Anniversary. PCA members who were interested in the chance
to buy one of these special cars were encouraged to submit their
names for a “lotto drawing.” I put my name in the hat, and I was
notified I had been selected in March!
Naturally, Pam & I were
very excited, and we began
to make plans for the new
Porsche’s arrival. Little did
we know at the time that
the new Club Coupe would
not be in our hands until
nine months later. Well,
to make a long-ish story
short, we took delivery of
our 2016 Carrera GTS Club
Coupe on the day before
Thanksgiving. It was well
worth the wait. The color,
as you can hopefully see in the photo, is stunning. “Club Blau”
was specially created for these 60 cars and was inspired by the
blue in the PCA logo. Porsche says the color will remain exclusive to the Club Coupes.
Interestingly, there are three other members of the Santa Bar-

Grape Harvest Wine Tour
2015
STORY BY LISA & ROBERT WATT

Glenn & Lorraine Crawford
Joe & Veronica Linden
I
Under sunny, clear blue skies, we headed
up Highway 154. Approaching Santa Ynez,
our impressive caravan of cars navigated
the roundabout at the Highway 246 junction, continued on 154 to Edison Street to
follow the back roads through farms and
ranches toward Ballard. Following Baseline Avenue to Alamo Pintado, we arrived
at our first stop, Lincourt Vineyard.
Nestled under California pepper trees
and overlooking the Alamo Pintado Vineyard near Solvang, Lincourt retains the rural charm and simplicity of an earlier era.
Once a dairy property, the old farmhouse,
which is an original 1926 Sears Craftsman
kit home, served as our tasting room. The
Lincourt picnic grounds, lawns and gardens would be the perfect spot to spend a
leisurely day with family and friends and a
bottle of wine.
Following a private wine tasting at Lincourt, we drove through the quaint Danish town of Solvang, out Hwy 246 and just
beyond Buellton, arriving at Pence Ranch
for a unique wine- tasting experience
along with gourmet box lunches catered
by Fresco Valley Cafe in Solvang.
Leah & Tony Punches
The 200-acre Pence Ranch, in addition to being a small artisanal winery, is
a working ranch that also raises horses,
cattle and chickens, plus it grows its own
grain and hay to feed them. There are also
several peacocks that live on the property.
One of the showpieces
of the Pence Ranch,
beyond the charmingly
rustic tasting area, is the
beautifully landscaped and
tranquil pond area, with swimming ducks
and a large, covered cabana.
Members enjoyed the box lunches on
the patio outside the tasting room. Winery
personnel served a lovely assortment of
wines throughout our meal and provided
some interesting facts about their winery.
Then they took us on a tour of the grounds
and pond area.
Our next stop was a little farther down
Highway 246 to the Mediterranean-style
Melville Vineyards & Winery where we
finished out our afternoon. Melville is located in the Santa Rita Hills, an area between Buellton and Lompoc. It’s exposed
to coastal fog and ocean breezes, which
produces a cool microclimate, ideal for
growing wine grapes. The Santa Rita Hills
are known for chardonnay, pinot noir and
syrah varietal wines.
Set back off Highway 246, you enter
the property through a lovely, poplar
tree-lined road, which opens up to the
spectacular vineyards and tasting room.
Melville boasts a gorgeous Tuscan-style
tasting room and spectacular views of the
vineyards and surrounding mountains.
We were treated to excellent wine varieties and a very welcoming staff. The temperatures were in the mid-80s, so everyone welcomed the cool breeze and shade
available at this location while we enjoyed
the wine and camaraderie of fellow members before departing back home.
Special thanks to Nicolas Liakas for
serving as our photographer and also to
Carol Barber, Harriet Edwards, Doreen
Pankow, Richard Kelman and Patti McCourt, all of whom helped with logistics

Santa Barbara Region Annual Holiday Brunch
STORY BY MIKE HODSON
EVENT PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO
As always, the atmosphere was festive and inviting, with folks
dressed up in their holiday finery. New members and legacy
members exchanged warm greetings while anticipating the meal
to be consumed and the program to be enjoyed. A short welcome
speech was made, and then off to the chow line we went!
Spanish Hills Country Club is well known for its delicious meals,
a reputation much deserved. Our members feasted on tasty pastries and breakfast goodies from applewood bacon to smoked
salmon and made-to-order omelets. If all that wasn’t enough,
lunch treats starting with savory green and fruit salads went perfectly with tri-tip, chicken and veggies. Those with enough courage and/or room braved the dessert table for the perfect finale
to a sumptuous meal. Some members, myself included, thought
a short nap would be pleasant after all those calories! No time
for napping, however, as the annual brunch is also our General
Membership meeting for the year, and there was business to be
handled.
First on the agenda was welcoming guests, sponsors and advertisers and thanking them for their support of our region. Attending from Santa Barbara Auto Group were Walt & Rebecca
Branscome. Rusnak Westlake Porsche was represented by Sam
& Lacy Abergel along with Carl Bell. Joe & Kathy Schneider from
Schneider Autohaus attended, as well as Neil & Stacey McAuliffe
and Desmond Warren. Michael Dunwell and Allan Byrne joined
us from Sir Speedy in Camarillo, the folks who print Der Auspuff
every month.
Seven past Region presidents were recognized and thanked for
their service and dedication to the Region, as were the Board of
Directors members from 2015. Activities Chair Doreen Pankow
was thanked also for the outstanding events she produced for the
year, and individuals who coordinated specific events throughout 2015 were also mentioned for their hard work.
Our esteemed Der Auspuff Editor, John Alfenito, received a
huge round of applause for winning the Betty Jo Turner Award,
which was presented to the most outstanding newsletter editor
in PCA at the Porsche Parade 2015 in French Lick, Indiana. It was
noted that John won the award despite competing against other
regions much larger than Santa Barbara.
Every year, members choose Man of the Year and Woman of
the Year, and their names are placed onto a perpetual trophy. I
was humbled to join the list of past honorees. It is indeed special
company to be amongst. Doreen Pankow once again -- and for
the sixth year in a row! -- was praised for her service to the club,
a well-deserved award.
The business meeting portion concluded with the installation
of the new officers for 2016. Steve Kaller is moving from Treasurer to Vice President, with Jim Brown taking over the Treasurer
position. Other elected Board positions remain the same for 2016.
Silent Auction results were announced, with thanks offered to
all the bidders for their generous support of our designated charity, Tri-Counties Make-A-Wish Foundation. Door prizes were
awarded, and although they are never too valuable, the friendly
rivalries and “unfair table favorites” perceived in jest are always
fun to watch.
Closing remarks wishing everyone a happy holiday season
concluded our fun and productive gathering. The lucky few loaded up their door prizes, the silent auction items were distributed,
and everyone headed homeward with tummies full of grub and
smiles on their faces. =

unday morning on December 13th dawned sunny and crisp,
perfect weather for the Holiday Brunch. Fortunately, El
Nino (is it ever going to come?) held off for another few
days. New for 2015 was our venue, the beautiful and picturesque Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo. With the popularity of the Holiday Brunch growing every year, Spanish Hills was
able to offer one room large enough to accommodate the soldout crowd of 150 Porsche enthusiasts. Per tradition, each guest
brought an unwrapped toy for donation to the Unity Shoppe in
Santa Barbara.

The Tech Report
PCM 4.0 and
The “Connected Car”
BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS
Santa Barbara Region Tech Editor
I
t cannot be overstated how much the
Internet revolution has permeated
every facet of modern life. More and
more everyday devices and appliances
are now “connected” to the Internet to
enhance functionality and efficiency, so it
was only a matter of time before the automobile followed the same path.
The notion of a “connected car” is not
entirely new. General Motors has long
offered its OnStar mobile concierge and
emergency service, but during the past
several model years, a number of automakers have introduced connectivity features such as Internet access and a built-in
WiFi hotspot. Even third-party purveyors
such as insurance companies are driving
the automotive connectivity movement;
many offer plug-in devices that monitor
driving habits and transmit the data to the
insurer in exchange for reduced rates.
As ever, regulatory concerns are also
spurring Porsche and other automakers
into action. The European Union recently
adopted an initiative that requires all new
cars sold in the EU be equipped with an
“eCall” emergency communication feature by April 2018. The eCall system will
automatically contact emergency services
in the event of a serious accident. Emergency responders will be notified of the
vehicle’s location and the severity of the
impact (which is determined by the vehicle’s existing crash sensors for the airbag
system) to determine the appropriate response. Similar initiatives are likely in the
pipeline in the US and elsewhere, so the
realization of a “connected car” is more
urgent than ever.
DE

While Porsche has always been at the
forefront of engine and chassis technology, the marque has traditionally lagged
behind its fellow German automakers
in terms of body electronics, comfort/
convenience features, and infotainment
technology. As a purveyor of driver’s cars,
Porsche’s priorities are logical. However,
because the company is seeking to increase its market share and appeal to new
customers, it is ever more important to
implement the latest and greatest infotainment features to meet consumer expectations.
Porsche has offered its Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system
since the 1999 model year. The first PCM
system featured audio controls, an onboard trip computer, CD-ROM-based GPS
navigation, and GSM telephone capabili-
dubbed PCM 4.0 and will first be installed
in the upcoming 2017 911 models (see the
October 2015 column for more info). However, the system should soon be available
across the Porsche model range.
In the vein of modern smartphones and
tablets, the PCM 4.0 interface is entirely
based upon its seven-inch touchscreen,
which uses the now ubiquitous tap/
pinch/drag method of interaction. The
improved navigation system uses Google
Earth and Streetview to enhance the map
displays, and real-time traffic data is used
to calculate the optimum route.
The user’s iPhone can be “tethered” to
the PCM via wired connection or Bluetooth, and its telephone/text messaging
features and a limited amount of “apps”
can be accessed directly with Apple Car-
...the PCM 4.0 interface is entirely based upon
its seven-inch touchscreen, which uses the now
ubiquitous tap/pinch/drag method of interaction.
ties via a SIM card reader. A 5” LCD screen
displayed the relevant data, and a knob/
button interface provided PCM control.
Over the years, Porsche steadily evolved
the PCM system, first with DVD-based
navigation for PCM 2.1 and a hard drive
and Bluetooth/iPod capabilities for PCM
3.0. Version 3.0 also saw the introduction
of a touchscreen interface, which reduced
the number of hard buttons and knobs.
Porsche recently unveiled the latest
version of PCM, which will presumably be
Play. Along with other PCM functions, the
iPhone can be controlled by the touchscreen interface, voice control, or by the
steering wheel controls if the vehicle is
equipped with the multifunction steering
wheel.
PCM 4.0 also provides the interface for
the new connectivity features. Internet
access is achieved by either a dedicated
SIM card or by using a mobile device as a
wireless “hot spot.” Either way, this allows
the entire car to become a mobile hot spot
for other WiFi-capable devices.
Porsche will offer Porsche Connect and
Porsche Car Connect smartphone apps
to further enhance the PCM 4.0 system.
The Connect app is available for both the
iPhone and Android systems, but it seems
geared towards the latter as it allows access to smartphone data via the PCM system, which is already possible for iPhone
users via Apple CarPlay.
The Car Connect app (also available for
both the iPhone and Android devices) allows the user to control a number of vehicle functions such as remote locking, mirror folding, and power windows. Fuel level,
tire pressures, and trip computer info can
controls of a brand new Jeep Cherokee
and disable the vehicle. As in the “wired”
world, automakers and authorities will
need to be vigilant to stay ahead of potential hackers and protect consumers.
Besides the Orwellian concerns about
Big Brother monitoring our whereabouts
and driving habits, there are more practical concerns in the world of connected
cars. Automakers simply cannot compete
with the makers of consumer electronics
in terms of infotainment devices. The gestation cycle of a new generation of smartphone or tablet is down to six months,
while the lifespan of an automotive plat-
vice manufacturers and third party could
offer numerous adaptors and mounting
brackets to neatly integrate any popular
mobile device to the particular automobile’s interior. The mobile device’s existing
touchscreen and voice control interfaces
would be used to control infotainment and
convenience functions, and their vastly
superior GPS navigation would be seamlessly integrated and enhanced by a GPS
antenna booster built into the vehicle. As
new mobile devices are introduced, they
could be easily adapted to any vehicle with
such a system.
Alas, the above may be pie in the sky,
but current automotive connectivity
technology is at least offering a better way
to update the software of the plethora
of computers and control modules that
populate a modern vehicle. The normal
method requires access to a factory level scan tool, which is connected directly
to the car for a lengthy software update
process. In true Silicon Valley fashion, the
Tesla electric car company offers wireless
software updates in the same manner of a
smartphone. Porsche itself has stated that
it will offer a similar service for its upcoming Mission E electric car (see last month’s
column for more info); expect this concept
to proliferate the automotive world in upcoming years.
If all of the above scares you, there is a
simple solution: Drive an older, non-connected Porsche! =
At first blush, all of these connectivity
features sound great and promise the utmost in comfort and convenience. However, privacy and security concerns abound.
Consumer advocates worry that automakers and insurance companies are already
collecting massive amounts of data about
driving habits and vehicle location. Even
murkier is the question of government jurisdiction over such data and if it can be
used as evidence in a court of law.
Equally worrying is the susceptibility of connected cars to hacking and data
breaches. As outlined in a recent issue of
Panorama magazine, expert hackers participating in a controlled experiment were
able to remotely access the powertrain
form is a minimum of four to five years.
Modern vehicle complexity and manufacturing logistics make it impossible to
upgrade in-car electronics at nearly the
same rate of mobile devices, which renders many infotainment and navigation
systems obsolete in a few short years.
Your author does not tend to overtly use
this column as an op-ed piece, but there is
a clear direction that automakers should
take in terms of infotainment systems:
Instead of spending inordinate sums of
money on developing rival systems that
are clunky to use and already obsolete by
the time they hit the market, automakers
should band together and develop a standard interface to accommodate existing
tablet and smartphone designs.
The vehicle would essentially be a mobile docking station for the owner’s tablet
or smartphone. Automakers, mobile de-
