Polar Region Newsletters Poster
2022-08-25 - 2022-09-01
Note this website crops the image, a full view of the image is in the e-mail sent.

There has been quite a bit of interest in the poster Andre and Angel created in the Q3 newsletter showing 20 years of Bear Facts Covers. We have decided to produce and offer a one time production of this poster for a cost of $100 of which $40 will cover the costs and the remaining $60 will be donated to Second Chance Animal Rescue https://www.scarscare.ca/ As you likely have seen in the media, animal rescue centres are really feeling the pinch and this seems like a great opportunity to help. The contribution will be made on behalf of The Porsche Club of America Polar Region.

The poster will be as you see it here. Sized at 36″ x 24″ and printed on a 3mm PVC which is a durable and dense material, yet light. It is waterproof, easy to clean and has a low gloss surface to reduce glare. For your shop or garage you can mount it as is or if you prefer you could frame it.

Once the posters have been produced you will be able to pick them up from Christian Gersdorff at the new Porsche Centre Edmonton. We will let you know when they are available and provide Christian’s contact information so that you can arrange with him a convenient time to pick up your poster.

Log in to order your poster.

In a precursor to the reputation Porsche would establish over the next seven decades at the famous endurance race, the 356 ran like clockwork, beating the coveted record for the shortest time spent in the pits.

Beginning in Lisbon and ending in the Senegalese capital of Dakar, the rally covers 15,000 kilometres of treacherous terrain, and is widely regarded as the most dangerous race on earth. With his team-mates Simon Pavey and Matt Hall, Charley faced extreme temperatures, rode through shifting sands and stinging winds, and faced breakdowns miles from civilization. Charley recounts his extraordinary adventures through Portugal, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Guinea and Senegal.

Our next book is The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World by Alexander Roy
Alex Roy’s father, while on his deathbed, hints about the notorious, utterly illegal cross-country drive from Los Angeles to New York of the 1970s, which then inspired his young son to enter the mysterious world of underground road rallies. Tantalized by the legend of the Driver – the anonymous, possibly nonexistent organizer of the world’s ultimate secret race – Roy set out to become a force to be reckoned with. At speeds approaching 200 mph, he sped from London to Morocco, from Budapest to Rome, from San Francisco to Miami, in his highly modified BMW M5, culminating in a new record for the infamous Los Angeles to New York run: 32:07.
