|The Porsche Club Tasmania meets at 7:30pm on the third Tuesday of every month at Shannons Car Club Rooms, 337 Argyle Street, North |

|Hobart. Members & guests are always welcome. |

|EDITORIAL |

|Just think about it. Your grandfather could have bought a new Porsche 911 when he was old enough to obtain a driver’s licence. Your |

|dad could have bought the latest 911 when he was old enough to obtain a driver’s licence, and you (if you are young enough) can buy |

|the very latest 911 now that you have obtained your driver’s licence. It has been around that long. |

|To be fair, the 911 (which actually started life as the 901) has gone through a few revisions. There were the 964 series (introduced|

|in 1989), the 993 (introduced in 1993) and then the current 996 series (introduced in 1997). But the basic concept of the car has |

|not changed, nor has its name. |

|They even kept the same doors for 30 years. As Harm Lagaay said : “It is a good door”. |

|Any good automotive engineer will claim that it is an inherently bad design to hang a big six cylinder engine behind the rear axle |

|of a car, never mind a sports car. Tatra and the Chevrolet Corvair don’t ignite any great memories with motor sport enthusiasts. The|

|Renault Alpine A310 could have, and did, but was short lived. Yet Porsche did exactly what it shouldn’t have done, achieved |

|preposterous results with it, and continue to do so. |

|Today there are no less than eleven variants of the Porsche 911 on sale, right up to the mind warping 462 bhp GT2. |

|Today we also have all wheel drive Porsches, which eradicate some of the essence of the original 911. |

|It is worth remembering that the early 911 models were best appreciated for their aural, rather than dynamic attributes. |

|Lift-off oversteer was standard equipment and it could (and did) readily switch to bloody minded understeer at times. Driving an |

|early 911 at speed was a bit like flying a tail dragger in a blustery cross wind. It required a delicate touch to avoid ground |

|looping the thing. |

|Ferdinand Piech is credited with sorting the suspension of the 911 during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, but that still did not |

|prevent Porsche from occasionally adding ballast to the nose of the car in the form of “bumper reinforcement”. Lengthening the |

|wheelbase also helped. |

| |

| |

|Since the introduction of multi-link rear suspension the 911 has become less argumentative about its directional intent, but it |

|remains a car to be treated with respect. That is probably one of the most important ingredients of its longevity. |

|Sterilise and sanitize the Porsche 911 by giving it perfect mass distribution, a pack of electronic and mechanical watchdog |

|mechanisms, and speed limiters, and you will surely kill it. |

|The modern 911 is an extremely well made car which incorporates technology of the highest order, often at the outer edge of advanced|

|automotive engineering. It is also still a sports car in the true spirit of the words. Like a true sports car it rewards generously,|

|but does not suffer abuse without retaliating. Relationships with a 911 require mutual respect to flourish. |

|There aren’t many new cars like that left in the modern world. |

|THE CHAIR SQUEEKS |

|In which the Club Chair makes a contribution ….. |

| |

|The 911 is 40 years old this year. |

| |

|From the very fist 356 produced in 1950, Porsche produced a total of 82 218 variants of the 356 up to 1965. During 1963/64 Porsche |

|produced three models, the last of the 356C/1600cm3 C and SC models, the 904 of which only 110 were built primarily as a competition|

|car (it was the first Porsche to have a composite body), and the 911 (901). |

| |

|It was an extremely busy time for a small family company only 15 years after its inception. |

| |

|In principle the chassis layout, engine and transmission were just as they are today – remarkable really. |

| |

|The first 911 had modern innovations like a laminated safety glass windscreen, heated rear window, electric windscreen washers with |

|automatic wipe, three speed wipers, asymmetrical low beam headlights, an array of instruments worthy of an aircraft, and 12-volt |

|power supply! |

| |

|Tapped seat belt holes were standard, but no belts were supplied. Volvo was the first manufacturer to fit seat belts in 1968. |

| |

|In 1964 the Porsche 911 was powered by a 2-litre boxer six cylinder, all alloy, air cooled engine which produced 130 bhp and was |

|mated to a four speed transmission. A five speed transmission was an option. Just 10 723 of these cars were built between 1964 and |

|1967. |

| |

|My first encounter with the 911 was in October 1970 when Performance Automobiles was appointed official dealer for Tasmania. Our |

|first stock car was a 911T in lime green. In was a manual transmission car with the first of the 2,2 litre engines which developed |

|125 bhp. |

| |

|My memories of this car remain vivid (I don’t think its colour will ever fade from memory!) and its asking price was $13 160. I |

|wondered how we would ever sell a car over $10 000? Today’s base 911 coupe costs $189 000 and one can only wish that they still cost|

|$13 000. |

| |

| |

|From this first 911 I had many more encounters with 911’s, but an early 911S from around 1969 stands out. It was an ex-Jim McKeon |

|(an Australian racing champion of that time) car which had been successfully raced in Australia since new. I purchased it |

|in 1977 to race in the “Tasmania 10 000” in 1978 at Baskerville. |

| |

|Now highly modified and classified as a “sports sedan” with 300 bhp, this 911 proved a very steep learning curve about 911 |

|characteristics. I had some success with it in the rain, but it was outclassed by 600 bhp V8’s in the dry. I sold the car and it was|

|put back to standard and went on to win the Australian Production Sports Car Championship in 1979 and 1980, competently “flown” by |

|an Ansett Airlines pilot. |

| |

|There will be many more interesting stories of 911’s in Tasmania (and elsewhere) and this is a great time for our members to share |

|them. |

| |

|We will be celebrating 40 years of the 911 at Performance Automobiles on 28 November, so bring your 911’s, your 911 stories and 911 |

|friends and let’s have a fun time together. |

| EXCO NEWS |

|Porsche Club Tasmania's Committee is your executive body, striving always to act in the best interests of members.  We meet monthly |

|and under President John Pooley's guidance, deal with club administration and activities.  We are also your interface with Porsche |

|Club Coordination in Stuttgart, and with other Porsche Clubs around Australia.  As Secretary/Treasurer, I intend to give you an |

|update in each issue of Flat Chat that provides some insight into your Committee's current issues and directions. |

|Having established the Club, attracted a critical mass of members and conducted several very successful events, your Committee has |

|turned its attention to our identity - a PCT logo.  We have been considering several designs for use on letterhead, badges, |

|stickers, clothing and membership cards.  We are conscious of the perils of design by committee (I'm sure the classic Porsche shape |

|was the work of an individual, and that's why it has endured for decades), so we are adhering to a few principles; keep it simple, |

|include something uniquely Tasmanian, make it dual purpose ("stand alone", or for official use, combined with the Porsche emblem).  |

|We have narrowed the field to two options and will converge on a final design shortly.  The next step will be to submit it to |

|Porsche AG for official approval. |

|In this electronic age, your Committee recognises that we need a web site to disseminate information, attract new members, post |

|notices and provide useful Porsche web links.  Porsche AG has offered to host our website, so we are in the early planning stages of|

|its appearance and functionality.  In the meantime, most members have provided an email address, which has proved valuable in |

|keeping members informed of Club events.  If you have recently acquired an email address, or have changed addresses, please inform |

|your Club Secretary (andrew.forbes@csiro.au). |

|Committee spends a fair fraction of its time discussing and planning events for members.  Charles Button, our Events Director, has |

|done a splendid job of organising events this year, and is already well into planning and scheduling an exciting variety of events |

|for 2004.  He reports on this elsewhere in this issue.  Charles is also our link with CAMS, ensuring that we coordinate and register|

|any competitive events with CAMS Tasmania. |

|That's a snapshot of Committee affairs for the present.  If you have any comments or feedback for your Committee, please give me a |

|call (6232-5292) or drop me an email.  I'll put your issue on the next Club Committee meeting agenda if necessary. |

|Regards,  |

|Andrew Forbes, |

|PCT Secretary/Treasurer |

|PORSCHE DRIVER TRAINING DAY |

| |

|Report by Charles Button |

| |

|With some car clubs having great difficulty in being able to field sufficient entries for events to be financially viable, it was |

|extremely pleasing to see thirty-two eager starters for this inaugural joint Porsche Club Tasmania/Club Motori Italia circuit event.|

| |

|A fine selection of vehicles assembled with enthusiastic drivers anxious to brush up on their driving skills in a safe environment. |

| |

|The day commenced with a quick check over of the cars by scrutineer Steve Caplice followed by all participants assembling for a |

|theory lecture in the Control Tower. |

| |

|Philip Blake provided an informative session dealing with various driving techniques and a detailed account of his past exploits at |

|Symmons Plains circuit. |

| |

|All participants were then given pointers on driving positions in selected vehicles. |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|This was then followed by the instructors taking their “pupils” for laps of the circuit; of course the Porsche Boxter was the most |

|sought after ride. |

| |

|A BBQ lunch was enjoyed by all (thanks to Claire Button). |

| |

|After lunch the instructors were then available to co-drive with the participants. |

| |

|While some instructors were seen to “hide” and appear quite pale after some rides, the rest of the day went off well with drivers |

|going solo. |

| |

|Only one participant gained first hand experience of oversteer brought about by a damp track and a lot of enthusiasm, but |

|fortunately with no serious consequences. |

| |

|A short de-briefing concluded the day. |

| |

|Many thanks to our intrepid instructors Leon Joubert, John Pooley, Philip Blake, Gary Cannan and Kevin Knight – you are all very |

|brave men. |

| |

|Thanks also to fellow Porsche owner Norman Henry for assisting me to co-ordinate this event for CMI and PCT Clubs. |

| |

|Charles Button |

| |

|I am sure that all the participants, instructors included, extend their thanks to Charles and Norman for their excellent |

|organisation. |

| |

|ECONOMY RUN/CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON |

|SUNDAY 14TH DECEMBER 2003 |

| |

|This event will be a great finish to the year. |

| |

|We will meet at Campbell Town at 10.45 a.m. where drivers will completely fill their cars with fuel at the Caltex Service Station. |

|It will be up to the drivers to ensure that their vehicles are filled to the absolute maximum. Once they have filled their |

|vehicles they will then proceed the short distance south to the parking area behind the Campbell Town Post Office where petrol |

|filler caps will be sealed. |

| |

|At approximately 11.15 a.m. cars will leave the car park and travel to Swansea via the Lake Leake Highway. |

| |

|A word of caution for those who may attempt to “coast” with their motors off: Remember that by turning the ignition key off, it |

|also locks the steering. This can have dire consequences. |

| |

|On arrival at Swansea, cars will proceed to the Caltex Service Station located on the corner near the hotel (look for the fisherman |

|on the roof) where cars will be refilled under supervision with the exact amount of fuel being recorded. |

| |

|Cars will be classified into various engine capacity groups. Awards will be based on the amount of fuel used, divided by the cubic|

|capacity of the motor. |

| |

|We will then proceed to Meredith House where a delicious luncheon will be served, at approximately 1.00 p.m. Cost will be $28.00 |

|per person. |

| |

|For those who may wish to linger and may have concerns about driving home, four star accommodation is available at Meredith House at|

|a special rate of $110.00 per couple, including breakfast. |

| |

|Numbers for the luncheon are strictly limited to 38. Therefore if you intend to join us it is imperative that you reply on the |

|entry form as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To enable catering arrangements to be made, reservations cannot be accepted|

|after the 5th December. |

| |

|Those who may wish to take advantage of the discounted accommodation should book by contacting Meredith House making mention of the |

|Porsche Club Tasmania. |

|COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE COVER. |

| |

| |

|Rodney Belbin of SHANNON'S Offers Some Valuable Advice. |

| |

|For many true motoring enthusiasts the opportunity to drive your prize possession is often limited to weekends, holidays and organised motoring |

|events. |

| |

|It is because of this that Shannons have developed a comprehensive insurance product which is based on the annual usage of the vehicle. Shannons |

|also realise that there are numerous types of registration now available which also limits your ability to drive your vehicle on a regular daily |

|basis. |

| |

|This comprehensive cover begins at what we call "LAID UP". It means that your vehicle cannot be driven on a public road. This form of cover is |

|ideally suited to vehicles under restoration or on museum display. The cover also protects the vehicle whilst it is being trailered and at |

|workshops being restored/repaired. |

| |

|Our next level is "EXTREME LIMITED USE" which allows you to drive your vehicle up to 4000 km per annum. This product is ideally suited to those on |

|SI (special interest) registration, or those using their cars on weekends only. |

| |

|For those enthusiasts not using their vehicles as a daily drive, Shannons also has a "LIMITED USE" product, which offers customers the freedom of |

|up to 8000 km per annum. |

| |

|Shannons also offers VETERAN CAR (VC) and STREET ROD cover, both of which are restricted to sanctioned club events. |

| |

|As with any motor vehicle insurance, the annual premium is based on risk, which in most cases is derived from a 365 day cycle. The great thing |

|about the Classic Vehicle Policy is that it is based on the usage chosen at the inception of the policy by the customer. |

| |

|If however during the year, you find that you have exceeded the kilometres as per your policy, then all you need do is give us a call and we can |

|alter your policy to suit your needs. |

| |

|The Classic Vehicle Policy covers, fire, theft, accidental damage, malicious damage and of course damage when involved in an accident. |

| |

|Happy and Safe Motoring |

|NEW MEMBER INFORMATION |

| |

|Richard Lee is employed by Work and Training as an automotive employment co-ordinator. He is a motor mechanic by trade and owns a 1974 Porsche 911.|

|Richard’s Porsche is an ex-German car and was in average condition when he acquired it. He has owned it for 5 years, and is still “playing” with |

|it, having clocked up less than 1 000km in this time. He has recently completed a mechanical and body rebuild of the car including “laptop |

|programmable fuel and ignition system with multiple throttle bodies”. |

|(Is this a real car or a Playstation version ? - Ed.) |

| |

|Richard is also “renovating my house and a seven month old daughter”, which helps to explain why he does not have much time left for any other |

|sports or interests. |

|Leon Joubert was born in Cape Town, South Africa, educated at the University of Pretoria and Wits Business School and went farming in Zimbabwe |

|after getting bored with a corporate career. When the government of Zimbabwe relieved him of his home and business in 2002, he settled in Hobart |

|where he is now learning to sell cars. |

|When he was a little boy he couldn’t play footy (Australia was too far away) so he picked a sport he could practice while sitting down. He has |

|participated in motor sport at national and international levels as a driver, co-driver, clerk of the course and team manager. |

|Leon mainly owned BMW’s which he got cheap from his sponsors, but has driven most Porsche models in his capacity as a motoring journalist. He has |

|been a licensed ship and aircraft driver, which sometimes reflect curiously in his driving skills. |

|He is married to Gail, and has two sons Pieter (15) and Nic (13). |
