From the Planning Meeting

A number of ideas came up at the planning meeting on Saturday, 5 November 2016, including (but not

limited to):

Open Houses--Visits

Tour of Emory Motorsports in North Hollywood, probably in Summer to see—among other

things—the 356SL that took Porsche’s 1st class win at Le Mans in 19512

Nethercutt Museum

Norton Simon/Rusnak

Getty Museum/Getty Villa

Griffith Observatory

USS Midway, San Diego

USS Iowa, San Pedro

1 Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013. 2 This is not just wishful thinking—Rod Emory has offered to host us. We just need to work out the logistics.

POSTPONED: Special Destination Breakfast at Newcomb’s Ranch

This had been planned for Saturday, 21 May 2017, but that’s the day before our Concours

d’Élégance. Sometime AFTER the May Membership Breakfast Meeting we’ll have a special

destination breakfast meeting: we’ll head up Angles Crest to breakfast at Newcomb’s Ranch. We’ll

have details on the timing and starting point soon.

Drive Toward a Cure (The California Adventure) is the

first in a series of events we are

looking to create throughout the

U.S. beginning in 2017 and

potentially expanding into driving

programs in Europe as well. Our

goal -- mix cars and camaraderie –

creating a movement for those that

love cars to partake in memorable driving experiences

while raising funds to benefit Parkinson’s.

The first event will be a simultaneous drive -- the route

from the North will begin at the Blackhawk car

collector museum in Danville, while the Southern drive

will begin at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles –

and our dual destination will be in the Paso Robles

wine region to enjoy a weekend of drives, competition,

separate wine tasting and wonderful receptions.

Along the way, there will be stops at some of the

world’s most prized car collections that happen to be

in California, including the impressive John Mozart car

collection, ‘special stage’ driving competitions, and

maybe a few extra surprises too.

Porsche hires Disney for Training

From Automotive News, March 25, 2017 @ 12:01 AM by Amy Wilson:

Exciting customers is about to become more than a mission statement at Porsche Cars North America.

The theme will govern a new program to train 5,200 people employed at Porsche’s U.S. dealerships

beginning later in 2017.

As part of the program, which is dubbed Excite, Porsche last month selected the Disney Institute to help

it fine-tune plans and carry out the training. The effort likely will bring all customer-facing dealership

personnel to one of the brand’s two U.S. Porsche Experience Centers.

As another step in this long-term initiative to improve the customer experience, Porsche also is asking

dealers to designate a customer experience manager in their stores. For many dealerships, that is likely

to be a new, stand-alone position.

Edd China Is Leaving Wheeler Dealers Because Velocity Wants To Make the

Show Worse

From Jalopnik, Jason Torchinsky, 21 March 2017, 5:39 PM

Edd’s time with the very popular show is coming to an end, but, true to Edd form, it’s for good reasons.

Edd was the antithesis of the usual

car-reality-show mechanic: where

most shows tended to have

caricatures of loud, arrogant,

tattooed meatheads yelling at

everyone about how this ‘69 GTO had

better [bleeping] be ready by

tomorrow or heads will roll, Edd’s a

calm, wildly capable, good-natured

guy who had respect for all kinds of

cars and was someone you’d actually

like to work with.

It seems that the big reason is that Velocity, who is taking over production of the show, found Edd’s

workshop sequences “too difficult to make.” As Edd said in his statement:

Unfortunately, on Velocity’s first attempt at producing the show they found Wheeler Dealers

“too difficult to make”, “at least in its current format.”

In particular, the detailed and in depth coverage of my fixes in the workshop; what I consider

to be the backbone and USP of the programme, are something Velocity feel should be

reduced. The workshop jobs are certainly the hardest part of the show to make and reducing

their substance and role in the show will save the production considerable time, effort and

therefore money.

However, this new direction is not something I am comfortable with as I feel the corners I was

being asked to cut compromised the quality of my work and would erode my integrity as well

as that of the show, so I have come to the conclusion that my only option is to let Velocity get

on with it, without me.

How Porsche Keeps Mets Fans Coming to the Ballpark

From Fox Business by Matthew Rocco Published March 24, 2017:

The New York Mets have seen ticket sales soar following back-to-back postseason appearances. The club

says new perks and menu items inside Citi Field are also responsible, and more improvements are

coming for the 2017 season.

One of the team’s newest sponsors, Porsche, is bringing its high-end flare to the ballpark. The

Volkswagen-owned luxury automaker took over a fine-dining restaurant in the middle of the 2016

season, and Porsche branding is now affixed to Citi Field suites. Select ticket holders will get behind the

wheel on track days during the season.

Porsche’s sponsorship agreement with the Mets last summer came just weeks after the company

reached a deal with the New York Jets. Jacob Harb, vice president, area east at Porsche Cars North

America, said the sponsorships allow the brand to reach new customers in New York, its third-largest

market.
