I do not belong to PCA. Strange I guess, since I have been Boxstering for 6 years. Not being a member back then was not strange since I was only interested in the Boxster. The Boxster was not a real Porsche. So us local owners started to hang out together. After a time we had more local Boxster owners than my PCA region. But I can and still do read the read the tech Q&A.

Peter Smith is the shop foreman at my local dealer. He owns a Boxster, which is really owned by the wife. Peter is on the PCA tech committee. He was in charge of the Boxster section on the PCA site. If you look at the older messages in the Boxster section they are from Peter. I have known Peter for 6 years.

Peter has a very busy personal life. He also races Porsches. A few years ago I ask him to put on tech sessions, like we had last month at my local dealer for the new 987. I also hit on the independant guys who use to work for Porsche but decided to open their own shop.

Peter could not keep up with the Boxster questions, so Scott Slausen took over. Peter then took over the Cayenne and 997 sections.

The PCA site is a great resource. I am no Peter or Scott.

For local owners the next tech session is May 14th at an independent shop. Bob and company.

I have been told that Bob was trained out of the old Porsche apprentice program.
