Early April 2023

 

 

Greetings and Salutations.

In my continued search for interesting Porsche facts and news I bring you a collaboration that I couldn’t have forecast even with team of skilled prognosticators.  What could be so surprising?  How about Airstream trailers, yes that Airstream, the progenitors of fleets of sleek silver campers have teamed with Studio F. A. Porsche.  Together they have designed a minimalist yet full featured camper that clearly shows the best portions of its dual linage.  You can see the article and the concept art here.

If you’re not a “happy camper” or a camper in general we have a number of upcoming ARPCA activities no camping required, details below.

Here’s to seeing you out there,

PTC Slates April Take-off – April 25th
From Arnold Palmer Airport Many of us remember the autobiographical Frank Sinatra anthem, “My Way,” penned by singer/song writer Paul Anka at Sinatra’s request, which in effect, marked the close of  Sinatra’s illustrious big band and solo recording career. On April 25, ARPCA’s Porsche Touring Crew plans to open the driving season “their way” with a drive and dine feast at DeNunzio’s Chop House and Sinatra Bar (www.denunziosrestaurant/latrobe).  The “Chairman’s” namesake eatery is a well-known destination throughout Westmoreland County offering great food seasoned with a birds-eye view of the main runway at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.Click here to learn more
