About Vintage Underground:
Vintage Underground (VU) is a distinguished destination shop in Eugene, Oregon, specializing in vintage European and British car restoration and employing over 30 highly motivated and talented individuals. VU has meticulously cultivated a team with the unique and increasingly rare skills necessary to care for and recreate these magnificent cars. With three buildings housing capabilities across all facets of prized restorations and bespoke projects, VU’s automotive artisans can provide solutions for all aspects of vehicle building and restoration, including mechanical, upholstery, body, paint, coachwork, performance, fabrication, and design.
About The Haugland Collection:
This private car collection is based in Eugene, Oregon, and is a quickly growing, diverse private collection of foreign classic automobiles belonging to Alex and Amy Haugland. The collection consists of over 140 cars from 5 different countries across Europe as well as Japan. The cars range from mass produced entry level cars targeted at the masses to unique low production race cars and luxury automobiles with the earliest from 1933 (Rolls Royce) to 2005 (Morgan Aero 6), although a 2017 Morgan 3 Wheeler is incoming. This is a great opportunity to see the collector’s love of the automobile. The majority of the collection are running, driving examples and are generally very good, but not perfect examples of the marque and model. In addition to the running cars, there are a number of current projects in the process of active restoration, as well as a few awaiting their turn.

Maintaining Momentum
Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
