9 October, 2022 SoBo Porsches and Coffee

photo: Larry Levin

Rosemary and I left our house shortly after 8:30 AM for our short drive to Sweet Berry Farm, arriving shortly before 9AM. Organizers for the Charlie and Martha Dow Memorial Drive were already separating the Porsches that were participating in the drive from those attending the coffee. The temperature was a bit brisk, but sunny and clear.

We had 40 Porsches for the drive and at least 30 additional cars for the coffee. Because my wife and I signed on for the drive, we were parked in the third of about six rows. For those going on the drive, egress from the lot was staggered by roughly 30 seconds. Launch time was 10 AM.

Because (weeks prior) we initially verified the first half of the of the route; we were confidant with the drive beginning on Aquidneck Island. However, we became dependent on following someone when we crossed over the bridge and entered Little Compton.

Little Compton, for the most part, has minimal street signs, and we lost our GPS signal for much of the area during our initial map verification. Therefore, we successfully followed a silver 911 that must have loaded the drive app because they never got lost.

Rachel’s Lakeside banquet room was bright, sunny and roomy. A buffet of mixed vegetables, stuffed chicken, fish, pasta, mashed potatoes, and rolls were offered. Certainly, no complaints about the food.

Because we went on the drive I had a brief opportunity to interview Porsche people. In the first row behind the wheel of his son’s 2015 Turbo S. was Tom Tate, “getting into the 21st century”. Driving his son’s Porsche, Tom has recently been doing auto cross and participating in track nights. Tom says that the car did great.

Also in line were Fred and Judy Michel with their red 914. As a youth Fred raced go carts and later, his seemingly fondness for 914s and Porsches. He has owned seven; his first was a 71 914. He was attracted by the Porsche’s mechanicals, style and performance. He has had this 914 for three years. Found on-line in Maryland, the car doesn’t seem to have any major issue. Initially Fred had to do some restoration to the passenger side of the pan because of corrosion, saying that the inside of the fenders are solid. It appears to be a great driver and that’s what it is all about.

The next car was the flying yellow 2012 Carrera previously driven by Charlie Dow. Pictured is Charlie and Martha’s son Eric and children (Daryn and Hannah) and daughter Kristen (Allen) with Eric and Drew. The Dow’s first Porsche was a 98 Boxster purchased in 2003.

The Dow Family

Across the field was a glimmering white 928 that caught my eye. Matthew Boday is the owner of this 1981, with manual transmission, showing just 81k miles, and it is his first Porsche. Looking for a Porsche for a long time, he drove by a dealer in Massachusetts and ended up purchasing the 928 this past June. Commenting that the dealer didn’t know what he had, Matthew implied that it was selling at a good price. Other than performing service components (seals and gaskets), no major parts needed to be repaired or replacd. Although not up to show standards, the resprayed 928 shows no dents or blemishes and the interior appears very good. I am looking forward to seeing this car again next Spring.

Once again Larry Levin was one of the first to arrive but this time in his new red Cayman GTS, and unfortunately I was not aware of his new purchase until we left. PCA Northeast Region is so lucky to have such an enthusiastic volunteer photographer who seems to be at every event. Larry will be the first one selected to be interviewed in April.

Rosemary and I are looking forward to seeing you all in April 2023.

South of Boston (SoBo) Porsches and Coffee 11 September 2022

It was about 8:45 AM and I knew we were at the right place because Larry Levin, NER’s PCA photographer, was already there. Larry is the often-credited photographer for our on-line magazine and website.

Mistakenly, the website posting of our 11 September starting time was changed from 10 to 9 AM, making for a long morning (numerous Porsches arrived after 10 AM with the total around 50 Porsches.)

This was the first time we held our Porsches and Coffee at the LongPlex facility. Sweet Berry could not accommodate us in September due to apple picking crowds. When asked, LongPlex received positive remarks. The coffee was tasty; breakfast was offered. Sorry, no donuts or pastries.

The first proud Porsche owner I spoke with was Bob Gauvin with his 2003 Red Carrera. This 996 six speed, showing just 55K miles is Bob’s first Porsche, saying that it was a retirement gift. Bob and I share our first purchase of a sports car, the Subeam Alpine. Bob’s Porsche purchase was because of Jay Leno’s recommendation on his TV show. On his first drive Bob said he was a bit apprehensive because the car was so quick. This 996 is very original, well above average; headlights still look new.

Bob Gavin and his 2003 Carrera

Next for an interview was Rick Competiello with his 2013 Agate Grey 911S Cab (991.1) with Porsche Sport Exhaust. A PCA member since 2009, his first Porsche was a Cayman S. Rick said “Born and raised in Stuttgart Germany, as a child I always saw Porsches;” he added: “Porsches are designed by engineers.” Unlike the Cayman, the 911’s jump seats are nice for his two girls.

 

Rick Competiello with his 2013 991S

Jon and Nicole Smith parked their 1998 Zenith Blue Metallic (Grey Interior), Stuttgart built Boxster. (The “S” on the VIN denotes Stuttgart) rather than Finland). Jon said, “ I purchased the car in 2012 from my friend and proposed to my wife in the car. He drives the car every day and puts snow tires on in the winter. Jon added the color-matching hardtop in 2020. Currently they own four additional Porsches.

Rick Abisla arrived in his 1991 Midnight Blue Metallic C2 Cab. This well cared for Porsche showing 89,916 miles was bought off of a lease when it was three years old in 1994. Rick’s first Porsche was a Boxster (968). As a kid he had a MG Midget. Asked what he likes about his Porsche, he replied, “it is the stickability, handling.“

Rick Abisla and his 1991 C2 Cab

Don and Jody arrived in their first Porsche. Two years ago, they purchased this Artic Silver Tiptronic 2003 C4S. Hard to believe they found this well-above average-maintained car on Craig’s List (had 48k miles at purchase); they are the third owner. As a kid with a paper route, Don saw a 356 Porsche and he knew that’s what he wanted to have. On his first drive he realized that the C4S was fast. Jody says, “love everything about the car.”

The final SoBo this season is scheduled for 9 October (9 to11 AM)** at Sweet Berry Farm, 915 Mitchell’s Ln, Middletown, RI. The event as always is FREE, and no pre-registration is necessary. The only requirement to park on the grass is your Porsche. A Porsche logo sign should be in place directing you to the parking area. Sweet Berry Farm is child friendly, encouraging small children to enjoy a working farm, so when entering and exiting, drive carefully.

** Cars may be leaving before 11 AM to participate in the Bob Dow memorial drive.

South of Boston (SoBo) Porsches and Coffee ​21 August 2022

photo: Larry Levin

Sunday morning was busy, preparing for the Porsches and Coffee and saying goodbye to our two sons and their families.  Along with beach time, going out to dinners and lunches, attending polo matches and visiting Newport’s attractions such as the aquarium, tea at Marble House, and then “the shopping”, my 4 year old grandson and our 13 year old granddaughter were thoroughly engaged throughout their stay with us.

Also, these past couple of weeks, working from a bicycle map provided by Paul Soares, Rosemary and I have spent numerous hours in the car verifying  the route for the Bob Dow memorial run in October.  Little Compton was the most challenging because of the lack of posted street signs. In Portsmouth a street became a rutted path that was posted “Not a Thruway”.

photo: Larry Levin

We had a great turnout, about 60 Porsches, along with many new faces and interesting cars and stories.

The first owner I interviewed was Denise Marcello, along with her husband Michael.  Most enthusiastic, this was her first Porsche; previously she wheeled Audie’s and Hummers.  Asked why a Porsche, she relied “because I love them”.  On her first drive she said  “It’s mine!”  She has safely driven 120 MPH and loves the sound, especially when in sport mode. I encouraged her to join the PCA to gain more of the Porsche experience.  I discussed the orientation of the Porsche logo, pointing to the valve stem, saying that I use a snap ring removal tool (the two pins at around 90 degrees, which fit into the two holes in the cap for easy rotation.

Denise and Michael Marcello

Jarett Hurteau really got my attention when he arrived in a Leaf Green 1983 911, outfitted with “mudder” tires. With the exception of the very fine paint work, Jarrett has prepared this car for off the road racing.  Working under the banner of Revenant Motorsports, he began in 2019 and just completed all the work for a customer.  The engine is a two plug, short stroke 3.2, along with all elephant suspension components. Located in North Kingstown, this seems to be a guy for you to complete your Porsche wish list.

Jarett Hurteau

Elizabeth Henderson seemed excited to show her Dad’s 1992 964 Red Targa Carrera 2, which he bought new.  With just 44 k miles it sat in a barn in Ontario for seven years until she recently retrieved it.  Since she had it refreshed she has logged about 300 miles.  She said that when she drove it for the first time she felt like a teenager.  She has become a Porsche enthusiast, joining the PCA in March.

Elizabeth Henderson

Troy Demelo parked his recently completed two-year restoration of his Tangerine 1973 911T. With the exception of the extraordinary paint work, all new rubber seals properly installed, refurbished window frames,, and interior, this old timer is a show winner.  About 10 years ago Troy purchased his first Porsche, a 944.  He may have said that he also currently owns a 991 and a 997. I overheard  him discussing the restoration when he tore down the seats to the springs when he refurbished the interior.  Unless I can get another opportunity to compare Jarett and Troy’s work; it is my opinion that they are tied for quality work.  Asked why Porsches, Troy replied “I like the people”.  From our discussion about the restoration, he said that he will ask the painter if the bottom corner window drains were cleaned out.

Troy Demelo

Saving the fastest for last is John Buckley’s metallic silver 2019 GT3 RS.  Heavily optioned this GT3 has carbon fiber brakes, sport bucket seats and front lift.  This is his fourth 911. His first Porsche was a new 1987 911.  John likes Porsches because of the fun factor.  So far the fastest he has gone in a Porsche was about 150 MPH in a 91 Carrera 4.  When I approach that speed in my 996 the nose gets light.

John Buckley

Just a reminder:  Due to a conflict with Sweet Berry in September due to their very busy apple picking month, our September SoBo will take place on September 11, off of route 24 at the LongPlex Family & Sports Center, 300 Industrial Way, Tiverton, RI 02878.  Our designated parking lot is past the entrance on the right and up a slight hill located on the left.  No fee required and food and coffee is available, as well as games and clean restrooms.

South of Boston (SoBo) Porsches and Coffee ​12 June 2022

With many attending other events scheduled today (DE and Porsche Parade at the Poconos) I was surprised that we had nearly 60 Porsches on the freshly cut lawn at Sweet Berry Farm.  The guy helping to park the cars was my younger brother Lou, a California PCA member owning (since new) a 2008 Cayman S.  Lou and his friend Sandi dropped in for about a week after a month in Europe (5 days at the races in Monte Carlo).

Don Baily got my attention (liked the stance) with his 1982 911 SC.  This Porsche has an 87 3.2 Dual Plug with DTS engine Management, and Elephant Racing suspension.  Kind of a “sleeper”.  This is a euro version export and is Don’s first and only Porsche found on Craig’s List and purchased from a dealer in Boston area about five years ago. His first Porsche sensation was the feel of driving.  Don has lightened the car by removing some items such as the large whale tail and the A/C unit.

Don Bailey
Shanny Patel

Another first-time owner of a Porsche was Shanay Patel (known as  Sunney) parking his 1983 Guards Red 944.  Purchased from Luis Rivera, he has done substantial wrenching, including clutch,  top end rebuild and lots of small stuff. When I asked, “why a Porsche”, he replied, “its Iconic”.  His first impression was the drive; “it handles perfectly”.  With 167k on the odometer the original paint shows wear.  Looking at the interior, all the gauges appear to be a pale yellow.

Marilyn Shan Scott Krick received her 2022 911 Carrera in December 2021, although it was scheduled to arrive in February (sinking of the freighter).  Fortunate her order arrived early; this is her first Porsche.  Her husband had first drive; she followed the next day. The driving experience is excellent,  getting, so far,  to 80-90 mph.  The interior’s dash gauges are in red, as well as the seat belts.

John Barros parked his awesome 2022 agate grey GT3 touring with carbon roof and mirrors.  Additionally, it has PCCB brakes and Neodyme wheels, with a Mojave Beige  and exclusive manufacturer interior with deviated stitching. This is John’s second Porsche; his first was a chalk 2017 GT3 with a manual transmission.  Asked why a Porsche, he replied, “ the engineering and the way it drives”.  Driven near the edge, John has come close to bending the needle at 165 MPH.

John Barros

Haley Dantas and family arrived in their Charcoal 2022 Cayenne Hybrid with black interior.  Previously, they purchased a new Taycan Turbo S that did not have much range (just 165 miles) and had to press a button to lower car to load and off load the four kids. Also, the Taycan was too quiet and fast, causing undesirable speeds of 140 MPH.  And today, with high gas prices, they are pleased getting 46 MPG in this 3.5L Hybrid.

Haley Dantas

Mel and Patty Cowher parked their Aventurine Green 2021 Carrera S. This Porsche is highly optioned with Sport Package, Tek seats, stripe package, red gauges (Patty said the red seat belt option was too much), walnut interior with aluminum trim and retro mag wheels.  Mel’s first Porsche was a 1973 911 S when he was just 18 years old that he restored himself..  Later he owned a grey market 85 Carrera 3.0, followed by a 2011 Boxster, and then Patty’s 2016 Macan.  Currently Patty drives a 2017 Cayenne.  Mel says that the fastest he has driven a Porsche is about 160 MPH.

Mel and Patty Cowher

How Mel obtained his current Porsche is quite a tale:  He entered a diabetes sponsored raffle and won a new Porsche.  Then he traded in the new Porsche and his 2013 Carrera S to the upgraded 2021 Porsche that was parked on the lawn.

The next SoBo is scheduled for 10 July (10-Noon) at Sweet Berry Farm, 915 Mitchell’s Ln, Middletown, RI. The event as always is FREE, and no pre-registration is necessary. The only requirement to park on the grass is your Porsche. A Porsche logo sign should be in place directing you to the parking area.  Sweet Berry Farm is child friendly, encouraging small children to enjoy a working farm, so when entering and exiting, drive carefully. And, as always, for any SoBo related questions, please email me at:  [email protected]

South of Boston (SoBo) C&C May 2022

It became a glorious day for our Porsches and Coffee at our first meet of the season at Sweet Berry Farm.  More than 60 cars parked on the newly mowed lawn bounded by blooming apple trees.  The island, cooled by Narragansett Bay kept the temperature in the 70s, while inland temperatures were in the 90s.

photo: Larry Levin

I must mention the recent service on my 911 C4.  I noticed that the black paint on the radiator’s air diverter below the bumper had worn off; the leading edges were now grey, and there was a small hole in the plastic probably from a stone.  I asked the service advisor if we could just paint it; he replied “No”.   I said “I suppose the replacement costs is around $700.00”.  He said “actually it’s around $720”.  Although I didn’t try it, my advice to you is try the paint.

That leads me to another story:  My one and only Navy shore duty assignment in 20 years was my last three years assigned to the Navy Underwater Systems Center, Newport RI as the Junior Project Engineer for the Mk 117 Fire Control System (the first digital submarine combat control system).  For those of you that remember the blizzard of 78, I was the base duty officer the next day and had to drive on the base and relieve another guy.  As I approached West Main’s 2 Mile Corner I saw a pile of snow nearly two feet high across the road.  At that time, I had my 65 356C and was confident driving in the snow.  I hit the snow square on; the Porsche’s bottom pan acted like a ski and slid right over the top and I resumed driving the last mile or so to the base; no dents or bruises.

I was reminded of my 356C pan story when I interviewed newcomer Daniel Smith who arrived in his first Porsche.  I believe he was the one that told me that the panels beneath the car were missing because the previous owner removed them believing that the engine would run cooler, thereby easier wear on the engine, an incorrect belief.  Removing the panels really does negatively affect the car’s handling, especially when passing through 100. On my 996 the panels have to be installed from rear to front, ensuring that the panels correctly overlap.  

Meeting a retired ex fast attack submariner like myself, it was fun to reminisce not only about our careers but also our Porsches. This was Daniel Smith, who along with his children Elan and Eden, arrived in his first Porsche, a 95 993 with just 75k miles.  Purchased in Omaha he enjoyed the drive back home.  Daniel had a poster of a Porsche in his room as a kid, and in his neighborhood there were three Porsches.  Daniel enjoys working on his Porsche, loves the ride and the sound of the door closing, “sounds like a bank vault”.  

Sterling Vernon parked his 86 944, exterior Grand Prix White with a Burgundy interior and wood inlays, with about 120k on odometer. Owner of 6 Porsches, Sterling has always been a Porsche Guy. When he was about 8 years old his uncle took him to his first ball game at Fenway in his 1970 911 S.  Sterling’s first Porsche was a used 99 Boxster, then in 2003 a new Boxster.  Additionally, Sterling enjoys wrenching his Porsches saying “It’s the pleasure of the drive”.

Chris Casali arrived with Letitia Wallace in his stunning Maritime Blue 91 C2 with RS suspension.  The engine was rebuilt by EPE after purchase a year and a half ago, odometer displays 135k.  Chris’s first Porsche was a 91 C4 two years ago.  For the last 10 years Chris has had an affection for Porsches.  The C2’s attraction is that it is modern enough, but air cooled.  “The drive is raw and engaging”. I asked Letitia what is the fastest she has been in the car, she replied “120”.

Colin Patterson parked his 2022 GT Silver 718 Spyder, with PDK.  Purchased new, this is his eleventh Porsche.  Colin says, “the newer the Porsche the better is the Porsche”.  The only negative to his current Porsche is the sound compared to his older Porsches, the sport exhaust has an additional CAT.  He just purchased it in January and has already driven it 1200 miles.  When he was 16 or 17 years old, living in Jamaica, he saw a banker driving a Porsche; the rest is history. 

Eddie and Mari Lopez parked their 2018 Cayman 718.  Purchased used less than a year ago this Porsche has a carbon fiber kit.  Eddie has two additional Porsches; his first, five years ago, was a 97 Boxster.  Eddie always loved Porsches and Ferraris saying, “I can afford Porsches”.

The next SoBo is scheduled for 12 June (10-Noon) at Sweet Berry Farm, 915 Mitchell’s Ln, Middletown, RI. The event as always is FREE, and no pre-registration is necessary. The only requirement to park on the grass is your Porsche.

South of Boston (SoBo) Porsches and Coffee – 17 October 2021

Because the apple picking resulted in a packed lawn last month, I was at Sweet Berry shortly after 9 AM Sunday to ensure that the parking of Porsches would be as orderly as possible.  By 9:30 AM more than 6 Porsches arrived. By late morning parked Porsches exceeded 60. 

I have to say that these monthly meets are one of my more pleasurable experiences; the sharing of stories exudes enthusiasm of Porsche ownership.  There is a consistency in design from my first Porsche (65 356C) to my current 996 C4.  The view in both cars is similarly shown to the driver, like the gauges seen through the steering wheel.  And, I have always been impressed with the stiffness of the body design, and the absence of rattles, even as the car ages.

Elizabeth Kahane exuberantly parked her 2021 25th anniversary Porsche Boxster; it is #364 out of 1250. On the passenger side of the dash is the engraved number beneath the Boxster 25. Silver, with a red interior, this Porsche is a keeper.  With a stick shift Elizabeth says the car is sexy, fast, and fun to drive.  Previously she owned a 2017 Boxster.

Ariel, and son Apollo arrived in a unique and attractive 2018 911 Targa 4GTS.  A graphite Blue metallic with a matte paint protection film reflected an attractive glow.  This is Ariel’s first Porsche, bought new, now showing 31K.  Ariel says that he “always liked Targas and the best part is feeling it, even just around town”.

Matt Meeks parked his basalt black, with sand beige interior 2006 911 C4S.  This is Matts first Porsche; he is the third owner, purchased this past February, now showing just 47k miles.  I like the option of the white gauges and Matt likes some of the older attributes making the car a bit analog.

Matt Meeks' 2006 911 C4S

Matt Meeks’ 2006 911 C4S

In closing. I have to mention that this coffee had more dogs as Porsche passengers than any previous time; I think there were five different Porsches with dogs, two as passengers in one of the selected photos.

This was our last SoBo of the season. As you may know, the first SoBo of the season starts before Sweet Berry Farm officially opens. So, if anyone has any ideas for an early alternative location anywhere south of Boston, please forward your suggestion.

Before I discuss some of the Porsches, I want to mention a couple of items:  one is June’s coffee, where I interviewed Edmund Williams with his yellow 2000 911.  In retrospect, I may have overlooked that it was a GT3.  Hopefully, Edmund will return, and we can further discuss his highly desired Porsche.

The second item is the electrifying of cars in general.  Whether they become a permanent fixture or not, they are here, and today I interviewed owners of a hybrid Cayenne as well as a Taycan Turbo S.

The Exleys 74 911 Targa

The Exleys 74 911 Targa

Three generations posed in front of their 1974 911 Targa.  Charles Exley Sr.  purchased the Targa (a yellow B6) in 1977 from a car collection with about 15k miles.  Currently, the Targa is showing 36k.  The 91-year-old Senior Exley has passed the driving baton to his son and grandson. Charles jr. seems to have taken an interest in maintaining the car for his son Charles 3rd.  The eye-catching Targa appears solid and original but a bit tired.

Lou DiRienzo's Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid

Lou DiRienzo’s Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid

Lou DeRiennzo was an early arrival with his Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. A 4-liter Turbocharged V8, this big beast has the GO.  Lou chose a cashmere beige metallic exterior, a club leather interior in truffle and Cohiba brown, with black walnut trim, making it a very appealing look.  The battery is in the trunk floor area and is not easily accessible.  When the battery power expires (around 32 miles), an audio notification is provided.  On just the battery, the max speed is about 83 MPH.  This is Lou’s second hybrid; previously, he had a 2011 Cayenne hybrid.   

 

Dantas's 2020 graphite metalic Taycan Turbo S

Dantas’s 2020 graphite metalic Taycan Turbo S

Gregory Dantas arrived in his graphite metallic 2020 Taycan Turbo S.  The Bordeaux red interior certainly adds much bling to the car.  To me, the car appears shorter than a Panamera but wider.  This is Gregory’s first Porsche, and his wife likes it as well.  On a full charge, the range is 280 miles.  One of the options was a rear bench seat, so as a family car, it can seat all four of his kids.  He says it feels like driving an S-class Mercedes.  There are two charging ports on either side of the front fenders; the right side is for rapid charge, and the left for home charge. I was surprised that a sunroof is not an available option.

Bixby's 87 928 S4

Bixby’s 87 928 S4

Barry Bixby’s pristine 87 928 S4; it is the nicest original 928 I have ever seen at our coffees.  With a dark blue exterior and linen-colored interior, this untouched 928 with a manual transmission shows 68k miles.  Purchased this year in March, it was found by word of mouth.  The car was located in Colorado; he is the third owner.  Barry has been in the Porsche business and certainly has a keen eye when it comes to finding Porsches. Asked if he considered selling, he replied “38k”.

 

The next SoBo is scheduled for 19 September (10-Noon) at Sweet Berry Farm, 915 Mitchell’s Ln, Middletown, RI. The event as always is FREE, and no pre-registration is necessary. The only requirement to park on the grass is your Porsche. A Porsche logo sign should be in place directing you to the parking area.  Sweet Berry Farm is child friendly, encouraging small children to enjoy a working farm, so when entering and exiting, drive carefully.
