And what Tom sees is only what is at the surface....much more going on.... emails and PM's. We have the longest thread, deal with it.

Meanwhile my Gruppe B B@ST@RD machine is in pieces awaiting transformation into RSR style greatness.

The glad to have a V-8 thread doesn't have its own music video does it?
Didn't think so.

Just to let everybody know what is going. The webpage is under construction as we speak and being veiwed by various members of the righteous clan. And I must say it is excellent. As soon as it is ready we will make the announcement. Be prepared to go into full recruiting mode!

All current members email the minister of information pictures of you, your cars along with some basic bio info to help him out.

Production is well under way and below budget, locations worldwide are collected for this film...all possible by the motivation of a select group of guys who just know what it takes to be....Gruppe B!

Wuf! Wuf! Biaaaaaatttttcccccchhhhhhh!

The thread that just wont die. A little more Porsche content, I finally got around to installing my new front hood shocks provided by our host. Even with my Gruppe B powers that was a PITA! I will soon do my shifter bushings and I hope that is a little easier.
Gruppe B West Coast all clear

Hey Dan,

I just did hood shocks on tuesday as well. The factory must have had little monkeys, specially trained to install those things.

No human hand fits down beside the fuel filler pipe! but it's worth it to not have the hood bonk me on the head in cooler weather.

The midwest grows restless... Any news from the front?
Next week I am installing my "track pipe" ( basicly a muffler delete pipe). Let them cower at the mere sound of the Screaming Red Queen!

Could someone mock up the GruppeB script in the Carrera font? As in GruppeB door scripts...? I know, I need help.


(GruppeB is growing!) I am the smilie standing on my head. (hint: I am blue.)

Sir Shawn, I had the same idea! I think Sir MikeZ can help us with that. Was going to run it past him this weekend.

Hood shocks are on my list as well, I guess i will have to go buy a monkey now to help with the install. Got my new door stop last night and I am planing to do that first. Anything i should know? seem pretty straight forward but you never know.

I don't know how you guys are replacing your front hood shocks, but when I did mine, it was not THAT terrible. A needle nose plier and it probably took me about 10 minutes. Maybe it's because I'm a monkey...(and my method is reserved for Gruppe B knights only..suffer you RGuppies and SCWDPoopers!)

...good Gruppe B! Go!

Wuf! Wuf!

Stay steady Sir Shawn. Things are progressing. When the propaganda Network is fully operational that is when we will move to phase 2 and strike a blow to the unbelievers.

Im really struggling with my choice of colors for my car. When I decide on one color I see one of another color and change my mind again. I saw Seinfelds red RS lastnight and it floored me. Red, Black, or Silver. What musteth I doeth.

I struggle with the color of my car as well. Gaurds red is far too common. I long for one of those off the wall funkadelic '70's colors!

Get me the official Gruppe B logo and I will see what I can come up with....side script or window banners?

Mike, On the side script we should use the same font as the Carrera font and just have it say Gruppe B. I have some inside the window stickers coming with the Gruppe B logo. (Jiffy Lube Type .75"X3.3" to color white & black) Outside ones like bumger stickers would be cool to for tool boxes, fridges and what not.
Ring me Sir Mike if you have time.
