After selling my company in ’96, I bought a new ’96 C4S which I eventually sold about 2004.  Why I still don’t know, but after experiencing Porsche’s debut of their new Turbo model in March of 2000 at an old F1 track in Jerez, Spain (long story), I decided I had to have a Turbo.  Well this never happened!  So when we moved to Henderson after my 3-yr gig in Pittsburgh, [...]

A number of club members attended a Tech Session on detailing at Gloss It Design & Detailing Center, on March 11th. We learned about techniques and products for keeping our Porsches in Concours quality. As Rich, the Center’s owner and presenter told us “you will never be the same with caring for your car after this session”. He was right!

A special “thank you” to club members Peter and Jackie George, for organizing and providing coffee and delicious Pink Box donuts for the event.
