Someday it would be a blast for the Big 3 to plan a massive gathering at some central location and and battle it out! Feasible? maybe not, but something to dream about.

"I HAVE A DREAM."

Wow, I didn't know this 959 was a rally car.

It seem that Gruppe B has been appied to more than one group.
. . .as others; "Racers Group," "R-Gruppe," "Type-R," "Speed Racer" . . there's all kinds of variations on that one.

In fact, as far back as the 50's "R-Gruppe" described a type of Truck : "stanchions (2), end and side walls removable or foldable, load length at least 10.1 m." (oh-no! . . looks like someone had R-Gruppe first) :D

So get over it. . . besides, they're going fwd, like it or not. :eek:

(my apologies to "The Racers Group." no implied boulevard-cruising wanna-be speed-racer-ness. --everybody knows "The Racers Group" actually, seriously, *is* what it is named") ;)

ha ha...I always like getting behind the wheel of the "fire breathing skinny arzz car", so another gathering would be fun! But with the distances I would have to travel...and the shipping fees I would have to be there in spirit!

But, I do plan on running the Nurburgring very soon....Gruppe B style!

What do you mean? 77 through 81 is just one car!

My other car belongs in a different group. Unless "B" stands for basket!

Thank you Island. Very well spoken. You seem to get it when others dont and you understand the spirit of what we are doing..HAVING FUN. We will have you as a member someday!!!!!

LOL Ray! Excellent point, but choose a number..we are running out of the first 999! :D And yes Lil T is in too!

Well I have to say some people take things way to seriously. I believe what John (#001) had intended was to create a place where anyone who drives, aspires to drive, or just can appreciate the Porsche marquee and all body styles that wear its badge, would be welcome. No matter what modifications (- the V8 thing) or lack there of have been made.
I am a member of PCA but I am lucky because the local chapter is very welcoming. Not true for all parts of the country.
SCWDP – I don’t have an SC so no go for me. But thats my choice not to have one. Everyone I have met involved in the SCWDP are great people though and hold no real grudge against my long hood, that I can tell.
R Gruppe- A group of guys who have a love for hot rodding Porsches and then driving those Porsches. Will I ever really hotrod my 71? Probably not. Will I hopefully get another Porsche and hotrod it? Hopefully. The cars within the elite circle of R Gruppe are simply incredible in my eyes. All them, including the 914s and 912. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of the R Gruppe guys and all that I have met are open and welcoming. Will I be asking for membership? No, I don’t believe my car has the attitude worthy. Do I hold that against them? Hell no! That’s my choice.
Gruppe B – Maybe just a group of Porsche enthusiast who appreciate all Porsches on the road and in garages across the globe.

Welcome Ray!
Sorry for the ramble, really trying not to work today.

Good point Ray having fun that is what this is all about :) I miss Lelands Carrera tips allways made me laugh. Guys like him and Island make this board so much more fun :D

Yeah, I haven't been about having fun in this thread....

I posted a picture of a Porsche golf cart and joked that I had finally found a Gruppe I could belong to. Not one response, and I'm the one who's uptight? LOL

I just think that maybe this is a little redundant. Go to a Porsche event and there will be a 356 corral, an R Gruppe corral, and Early S Registry corral, a Boxster corral etc. All the cars that are left in the Porsche section, (Including my GOLF CART!!!!) are Gruppe B. But hell, who doesn't like stickers and T-shirts? :D

I would like to apply for #23 for my golf cart and #WTF for my red beauty pictured below.

Yeah DB, I'm sure they are great guys and have a good thing going. Everytime pics get posted showing one of their events I get...... well I think you know what I mean. lol. If we put forth the effort I think we can really have a nice GRuppe of our own. Then we can squash them. lol.

LOL Race..that is the most hideous thing I have ever seen. Where did you find that thing??LOL. The golf cart pic was excellent, and was gonna respond to it but I was laughing so hard I couldnt think of anything plus when I saw it I was about to crash at my computer and went to bed. We appreciate you participating in the thread and it is fun. NOW JOIN US OR MEET YOUR DEMISE.......lol

Hey,

Back to the stickers: Size B, of course.

Troy

Quotes for the B banner are being sought as we speak, things are happening behinf the scenes, stay tuned.

double post woops...delete

Race - It wasnt the golf cart so much as the 24min of Daytona that killed me. But that red beauty, something tells me that picture doesnt do her justice.

#001- If I can be of any help in the aquiring of propaganda let me know.

#071 Still not working :D

The sticker guy is out for the day. He can run but he cannot hide! I will track him down yet!

I have invited a certain Irish MadMan to join the Gruppe. He is becoming versed on our ways as we speak. He will be with us soon...

What? You've never seen this monstrosity?? The ULTIMATE bastard automobile. I'm unsure anyone ever figured out what it was originally ....

I think it contains Porsche pieces - an awesome GruppeB mascot!

Excellent.... a Mad Irishman. Should fit in well. Since I am number one I guess I should get my bastard on the road. Work will begin post haste! The 1966 bastard (late production 66S, all original I might add) currently resides in my Fathers driveway in Alabama awaiting future transport. This is a true original long hood that will serve us well when antagonizing the R guys.

monstrosity???
 

there was a thread a while back on that car.

No, it is NOT (was not) a 911 . . .some french, russian, or some other cheese ball make.
