Q & A with Ron and Libby McCall EscapeVelocity asks our members EV : What should we know about the McCall family? A. We are originally from the Washington, D.C. area. We moved to Florida in 2005, after I retired from the Federal government. Libby is a Flight Attendant for American Airlines and flies to Europe once a week. I know it is a tough job, but somebody has to do it! We have both had a life-long interest in sports cars. I have owned several MGBs which I autocrossed, and Libby had a MG Midget when we first met. We have been members of PCA since 2008 and have really enjoyed the various activities PCA and Space Coast Region offer. We attended our first Parade in 2010 and hope to become more involved in PCA and Space Coast Region events in the future. EV : What was your first Porsche? A. Our first Porsche was a 2007 Cayman S, which we purchased in 2008. We currently have a 2010 911 S and a 2006 Cayenne S. EV : Which car is your favorite? A. That’s a tough one. While the 911 S is my dream car, I do enjoy driving the Cayenne S. I have always loved SUV’s, and the Cayenne is by far the best SUV I have owned or driven. Libby’s favorite is the Panamera, which she recently drove when we had it as a service loaner from Porsche of Melbourne. (I hope Horst doesn’t see this). EV : Besides Porsches, what activities do the McCalls enjoy? A. We are avid runners and occasional golfers, and we enjoy sports car racing and traveling. Last fall we went on a Treffen with Fast Lane Travel and had the opportunity to tour the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, and to visit Gmund, the birthplace of Porsche. It was truly a once-ina-lifetime experience. EV : Do you have any Porsche stories to share? A. The year was 1969. I was getting out of the Air Force and in the market for a sports car. I was volume 5, Issue 1 The McCalls and their 911 S particularly interested in the new Porsche 914, which came out as a 1970 model year. All of my sports car friends talked me out of it, saying it was just a VW with a Porsche logo. Unfortunately, I listened to them and ended up buying a MGB. So much for my foresight! 1
