UCR Members closed a stellar year of fabulous Porsche Club activities at our December Holiday Social on December 8, 2015 generously hosted by Pfaff Porsche.

The Pfaff Porsche Showroom was filled with a vibe and energy fuelled by 180 UCR Members and Guests. Members enjoyed scintillating conversation while feasting on gourmet food and libations and aweing at special model Porsches on display. The evening was a tremendous success!

Dave Sambrook, VP of Operations with Pfaff Porsche, wel­comed UCR Members and provided the history of the special Porsches on display. Dave generously raffled off a gazillion Porsche prizes and UCR Members walked away with special Pfaff mementos and very happy smiles. Allison Pidgen, Event Marketing Manager with Pfaff Porsche, oversaw the catering and bar with her associates and kept the libations flowing even after a much larger than expected turnout. Laurance Yap, Director of Marketing with Pfaff Porsche, brought in several special model Porsches just for the Social which created a buzz of energy and amazing photo ops for Members. Theimpressive line up of Porsches on display included:

• A 2016 PCA-60 911 Club Coupe – Michael Pohlmann won the opportunity to purchase this fabulous Porsche (one of only 60 made) and unveiled, with Tom Neumann of Pfaff Porsche, his brand new Porsche. Read the full story in next month’s Provinz.

• 2015 911 Turbo S Pfaff 50th Anniversary Edition – one of only 5 made

• 2014 911 GT3 Cup Car driven by Chris Green winner of the Series – who attended and signed special edition copies of his car for Members

• 1994 Turbo S “Flachbau” or slantnose – one of 76 made worldwide

• 1992 911 Turbo S “package car” – one of 17 made
