That was wickedly funny (in a Jerry Springer sort of way).

Island, why are you hanging around in the OT swamp? Did Tabs hire you as his bodyguard or have you picked up the Springer PR contract?

What gives?

College educated and supremly intelligent people need not stoop to such low levels to keep esteem.

They usually put a nose up and walk forward showing no concern for others.

Hmmmm...Juxtawhat?

I am man enough to say, "Yes I am an @$$hole." Who else among you is willing to make that admission?

Does that answer your question Brian993???

island911 · 03-06-2003, 07:06 PM

Heh-heh .. Brian you crack me up.

Remember when this form was called "Off Topic Ranttings"

I've been making an active effort to help this form have some legitimacy.

As you've noticed, the type of pelican people here, are insightful about more than just Porsches.
Check out some of those recent "war" threads. . . Wayne, Bill Krause, RickC, all have delived some truly insightful comments and content.

Some definititions for ya:
jux·ta·posed - To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
kinda like
ironic - Poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended: (madness, an ironic fate for such a clear thinker.)

I am man enough, and willing to repeat that admission.
"Yes you are"

I also have a good laugh at those that make general sweeping statements on R Gruppe (or any other group). Having based their observations on the limited content of a couple of posts by a couple of members. So your entire R Gruppe experience is limited to this board? Well it is more than an internet forum car club.

In fact these posts are so brief and open to interpretation that forming a conclusion on the poster alone is unreliable.

tabs · 03-11-2003, 10:14 AM

Your right that a brief encounter on the internet is really not enough to form an opinion.

However Ted, I have been talking to the R Gruppe for 2 Years and have had extensive dialog with them as well as attending several function in which they were present......Also during that time I have been called everyname in the book by them to discredit me...and their hostility is so great that they even started this thread...

That should read.....make that admission about themselves....... it is an extreme act of humility if you can say that about yourself.....simply because you are admitting that you are fallible and are imperfect. So now be my guest and cast the first stone......

No stone but why judge a book by it's cover.

The relationship you have with Curtis does not have to be extended to the other 270 persons in R Gruppe.

If I disliked you (for 2 years) would it be fair and rational judgement for me to dislike your entire family (having never met them)?

I'll totally agree with that!

Though it is obvious the R Gruppe book is not well served by its' cover.

By no means am I the Rgruppe poster boy. Having said that, Island, I am entitled to voice my opinion whenever and where ever I see fit. When it comes to T52, I have been able to see-thru his bipolor antics way before the Pelican board even existed...

And to you T52, I bet you love having Island chim-in for your sorry ass. The 2 of you deserve to go on vacation together

island911 · 03-11-2003, 12:31 PM

hmmm, sometimes tabs gets it right. (That really pisses you off, especially when it's obvious to others.)
Somtimes tabs he gets it wrong, and is out of line.
I just supported Ted in calling tabs out, for lumping all the R Gruppe guys as its' flounder. (ooops . . spelling mistake-my bad)

Nobody said you where "not allowed" to do anything.
Infact, keep up the good work.

tabs · 03-11-2003, 01:21 PM

Well Ted I've met quite a few of them at one time or another and they do share some common traits...whats ironic is I get along with the R Gruppe Meister himself...I find him to be a down to earth guy....Bottom line is that I like most of the R Gruppe guys, I love razzing them. Problem is they take it so seriously, I try and tell them not to take it so seriously and they don't listen. Thats their problem.... It's like they can dish it out but they can't take it....and if they could take it...there would be no problem...... we'd all be hunky dory..... Thats on them not me.....they carry it around inside them I don't.....I'm clear about what the issues are and where I stand..... All Curtis can do is spout off that I'm a "sorry a$$."

island911 · 03-12-2003, 10:16 AM

tabs · 11:48 AM

I could watch them all day.........Island the key words are "I love razzing them" I havn't laughed as much in years... I would wish they could laugh along with me...but if they don't...can't... well....then fkem if they can't take a joke......

Like I've said before...I'm very clear about the what, why and how of what I do... it's like shading the keys when playing a piano to set the mood you want you want to make...

racea911 · 11:09 PM

Yeah, it's totally obvious to me after reading this thread that no one in R Gruppe has a sense of humor

Keep up the good work swbsam and I KNOW even Tabs gets a kick out of these pictures. To those of you who think curtisaa isn't cool to Tabs, keep in mind that this has gone on for closer to THREE YEARS. Since before the Pelican Board was even a blip on the internet. Tabs has been dissing the R Gruppe this whole time. Sometimes, obviously in jest, sometimes only obvious in jest to Tabs himself. curtissaa is in the R Gruppe, he digs the R Gruppe philosophy and has alot of friends in the R Gruppe. He's sick of Tabs blasting his ideals on Porsches and his friends. I'd say it's only natural. It's tough to really assess this feud unless you've been there from the beginning as I have. I can tell you this, if curtisaa had a problem with his Porsche, it probably would be standing room only in his garage with all the Porsche friends who would show up to try and help. If Tabs had a problem? Well....

Now if Tabs had a BBQ, it might be standing room only at his house too. From his recipe posting on the Early S board, it sounds like the BBQ is where Tabs is the master. I think the R Gruppe should snag Tabs' BBQ, put on some fender flares, lighten up the metal work with some fiberglass, put in some bigger burners so that sucker really cooks and show Tabs that a tasteful little modification can actually be a good thing.
