In the grand scheme of things we are all ( RGruppe, SCWDP, GRuppe B ) in the game for the same reason. To proclaim to the world the overall superiority and originality of our cars. GRuppe B is the sineptic cleft that will join all groups in achieving this goal. To rid the world of the Myth of Rice! We arent here to trash your groups...remember... just to offer a haven for those people who you refuse to include.

We do not belittle your machines as you do ours..we love them because they are Porsches. As I said because of your vain ideals you will fall.

Wait! What's with the R in R-type??? Hmm...

haha...is we having fun yet?

Gruppe nor B have no claims laid upon them!..But! Gruppe B does.

You R Guppies have lost your path! Hot Rodding is not your main passion these day is it? Elitism is more likely :D I smell fear!

WOOF! WOOF!

Touché !
Now would you bastards quit saying SCWDP in the same breath as . . that other-gruppe. sheesh.

k9handler 06-18-2003 08:54 AM

yep....fun!

can't wait for the weekend, mods to be done....autobahn to be run!

johncj8989 06-18-2003 08:56 AM

SCWDP guys are good spirited and are playin the game because it's fun.....Hmm the only RGruppe'ers that have responded seem to hold a true grudge.... Why is that?!?!?!?

k9handler 06-18-2003 09:01 AM

lack of activity in their Gruppe has caused them to seek elsewhere for a sense of need.

thrown_hammer 06-18-2003 09:06 AM

Hey,
I just noticed K911SC hasn't unsubscribed lately...:confused:
He does that at least every two pages or so...:D

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:06 AM

I noticed that brother Noah has not added his GRuppe B number to his profile.... surely he has not encountered political pressure from those at the Mother Board. lol

WOOF! WOOF!

I know, Gruppe B has a claim laid upon it, that's all I'm trying to tell you. Gruppe B is already a well known, TAKEN NAME. It just seems goofy to someone who is a rally fan, that you would take a name that means something completely different and claim it.

I see nothing wrong with you guys banding together, that's cool. I just was being sarcastic about the name because it is strange. Cegerer already posted pictures of the real Gruppe B and you guys just kind of ignored it.

Gotta go, I'm opening up a new mini mart on the corner and I'm trying to think up a name for it. I was thinking 7-11 was a cool name for me to take..... :rolleyes:

Do I need to have a Porsche 911 to join this new Gruppe? If so, that's kind of elitist isn't it? It's funny how you call R Gruppe elitist and then blast a guy because he "only" has a 914. :rolleyes:

Dutchie 06-18-2003 09:18 AM

LOL the reactions of some people :D btw whats a 914 ??

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:19 AM

I have to say thanks to Wayne for giving us a venue to do this type of thing! Of course the Pelican Board has had a definate affect on my office productivity. But hey gotta have fun right? " Die young....as late as possible."

thrown_hammer 06-18-2003 09:22 AM

Rally cars are welcome in GruppeB and now if you will excuse me I have an urge for a Slurppy...

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:23 AM

We didnt totally take the name GRuppe B as it was used before...if you squint your eyes just right you will notice that there is a little more space between their B and ours which makes us completley unique.

MotoSook 06-18-2003 09:27 AM

racea911, we're all just having fun, but the Gruppe B thing was a plus..


...rally or not, its meaning is what matters to us.

Yes, we are all elite ..but we are not as elite as you guys are ..ah ha..yeah ha! Oh, and you should open a 9-11!

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:30 AM

Yeah some people take things a little too serious. They need to go take a break and knock down some suds and relax............ plus if they get a buzz it will be just that much easier for us to overtake their camps and rescue their cars!


LOL open a 9-11....lol

Ray 911s 06-18-2003 09:33 AM

Can I join? Souk - how about T shirts?

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:36 AM

Consider yourself joined. Things will be much more organized as we go on. Stickers, shirts, website (for the sole purpose of total control of global information) will soon be made available. Bare with us as we continue to grow. lol

MotoSook 06-18-2003 09:42 AM

Tha War Room activity is furious! We hope to have stickers and shirts and a website soon. Welcome Ray...I thought you had two 911's....71 thru 81? Did you pick up some more?!!? No secrets between Gruppe B brothers!

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:44 AM

I think he is reserving space for perhaps local bretheren who he will attempt to recruit.......

thrown_hammer 06-18-2003 09:45 AM

The bottom line. We are a Gruppe (please don't sue me) of 911 enthusiasts that don't fit. We are either geographically challenged, or own cars that just don't quite fit the mold. We do not seek each other out because we are "elite" or better than another. After everyone sections off into their little clubs we are the leftovers. And do we not deserve a Gruppe of our own? I say YES! Leftovers for everyone!

johncj8989 06-18-2003 09:51 AM

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") ;)

k9handler 06-18-2003 09:54 AM

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!

Ray 911s 06-18-2003 10:00 AM

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

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

johncj8989 06-18-2003 10:02 AM

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!!!!!

MotoSook 06-18-2003 10:06 AM

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

DByers 06-18-2003 10:14 AM

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.

Dutchie 06-18-2003 10:21 AM

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

racea911 06-18-2003 11:32 AM

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.

johncj8989 06-18-2003 11:35 AM

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.

johncj8989 06-18-2003 11:37 AM

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

JTO 06-18-2003 11:39 AM

Hey,

Back to the stickers: Size B, of course.

Troy

johncj8989 06-18-2003 11:42 AM

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

johncj8989 06-18-2003 11:42 AM

double post woops...delete

DByers 06-18-2003 11:50 AM

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

thrown_hammer 06-18-2003 11:50 AM

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

thrown_hammer 06-18-2003 11:57 AM

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!

johncj8989 06-18-2003 12:12 PM

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.

island911 06-18-2003 12:13 PM

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.
