By now, you have probably received your printed HORIZONS Issue 02 and, like many members, might be wondering whether the Cover Photo of the mud-covered Porsche Crest is real or Photoshopped.
The answer to this question is straightforward for one HCR member, Ross Blair. Just ask him how long it took to clean not only the mud-covered Porsche Crest on the hood of his Cayenne but also the entire vehicle after returning from the 2025 Pick-Yer-Tour Weekend’s Off-Road Driving Tour.
For more details, turn to Page 39 of your printed HORIZONS Issue 02 to see the Blairs standing proudly in front of their mud-covered Porsche Cayenne. They truly deserved their 1st Place Prize in the now-famous Pick-Yer-Tour Weekend’s “Dirty Porsche Contest.”
Great job, Blairs and kudos to photographer & HCR member Don Dominick for his excellent photos documenting the muddy event!
