President’s MessagePresident’s Message

WW ell, folks, our 2015 sea-

son has officially started

with the successful exe-

cution of our first ex-

travaganza of the year, our After Holiday

Party! Yes, it’s odd to start the New Year

by trying to belatedly finish up the past

year but, that’s just how Chesapeake rolls!

It was, as always an amazing evening full

of much fun and camaraderie, as validated

by the ever-welcome presence of our new

National President, Caren Copper and

most of her executive council. While I

think they were there mostly to make sure

that Manny was truly going to stay in

Chesapeake from now on and not be pop-

ping up at their meetings, they seemed to

really enjoy themselves as evidenced by

their very active participation in stealing

gifts at the Yankee Swap session! Thank

you Caren and everyone else for joining us

for the evening!

It was a near riotous event which brought

much laughter to the party. Much of it

when my lovely, “White-wine only

please,” wife Kara who, doing her best

Vanna White to substitute for a fondly

missed Bob Gutjahr, was introduced to the

opening “Jagermeister-shot” tradition for

the emcees of the event. Having been mis-

takenly assured by me that this probably

wouldn’t happen, she gave me a big grin

and a wink and soldiered on through both

that and a second later shot, with which the

Swap was off to a running start!

Of course none of this would have ever

come about if not for the tireless efforts of

Donna Brandt and her husband Warren

who arranged for the party at the Yellow

Fin restaurant; thank you both for really

putting this event over the top!. Every de-

tail worked to perfection and it was a fan-

tastic evening. So many of our members

enjoyed the company of fellow aficiona-

dos, a great cocktail hour, a delicious meal,

the many door prizes provided by our

event sponsors and good friends at Por-

sche of Silver Spring and a very healthy 50/50 raffle which all made for a great do-

nation to our Community Service fund.

And thanks to everyone who showed up

early, helped with registration, the awards,

and the program setup and cleanup! It was

another example of members working for

members to put on successful, enjoyable

events.

With February upon us now, our commit-

tees are in full swing, planning social

events, our Super Slot Car night with its

world-class chili cook-off dinner,

and both new member and volun- 5

teer party events, allowing us to get to-

gether with fellow Chesapeake members to

swap stories and information! These

events, in addition to those which National

PCA and the surrounding dealers will be

staging, will make for a very busy winter

and early spring.

So be sure to watch our website calendar

closely, check out our Facebook page for

updates, and tag all our event notices in the

Patter to join in on the fun! We hope you

find something that intrigues you enough

to come out and join the rest of us as we

make our way on into spring!

As always, I’m happy to hear from you

directly and you can reach me at presi-

[email protected].

Have fun and Drive Safely!

This Is What Happens To A 911 Befo

FLATSIXES.COM - GT3 Test Facility

“Like the other videos we brought you earlier showing the Porsche 918 assembly line and the birth

of a 911 engine this video eschews music or voice overs. Instead, it's the silent symphony of Porsche

quality checks that resonate. What struck me the most about this video, besides the heavy armor

worn by the GT3 at the beginning, was the concentration and precision of the workers. Want to

know why Porsche constantly wins quality award after quality award? Watch this video showcas-

ing the final checks each 911 receives before leaving the plant and you'll have a better understand-

ing.”

Except for the 918 Spyder, Porsche expends 3.7 minutes per fabrication point when building their

vehicles. The 918 Spyder, on the other hand, expends 111 minutes per fabrication point. That’s a

3,000% difference! Also, each 918 engine is bult by a single person.
