R Gruppe is here: http://www.rgruppe.org/
Many R Gruppers speak here: http://d240157.u39.zeonhost.com/forum

Some R Gruppe event pics are here.

Not sure about the other "Gruppes", but they can insert their own excuses after this post

RGruppe is the club that invited me to join, took my $50US and haven't contacted me since (it's been over 2 months!)! I'm starting to think that I've been scammed... Cris Huergas hasn't even returned the follow-up e-mails I've sent. If he's changed his mind, I'd like my $ back.

From the web site:

"RGruppe Membership:

Currently the club isn't seeking new members, but if you'd like to be considered for membership please send an email to the founder Cris Huergas with your name, contact information, a description of your car, and a few photos."


Sounds cozy.

Sweet how you jump on the internet and bad mouth the R Gruppe lead person,
you certainly have a way with people.
Maybe you are just too hardcore for R Gruppe?
Just tell Cris you changed your mind and be gone.

Don't ya think Cris found your post about as inappropriate as you found mine!

Come on over to GruppeB. It won't cost a dime. Even some hardcore Rgruppers who loathed us at the start have realized we are quite fun.

Hmmm, there seems to be some tension with your group? You should consider joining the SCWDP.

$50 followed by 4 to 6 months of nothing? Now there's a club I'm dying to join.

I don't find anything particularly odd about people posting negative comments in response to this thread's author asking the honest question: What is R Gruppe? If you are going to pay your money, get no corespondence and not be able to reach anyone, then perhaps that is a reasonable definition of the organization based on some people's experience.

Ted, if Cris finds exc911ence's post "inappropriate", then I question Cris' concept of value for the membership dues buck. Furthermore, if Lee has accurately represented the verbage on the web site, then I hope is was in large bold red letters. That attitude should serve as a warning to anyone remotely interested to look elsewhere. Car clubs are about the people and their interest in cars. The web site says, in so many words, "we don't want you unless you have $50 and a really cool car that WE like." I find your post defensive and arrogant.

This thread has enlightened me. I now know that R Gruppe means early 911 owning snobs. To quote Lee: "Sounds cozy".

exc911ence, Get me your Address. I will send you some GruppeB stickers for free!
And furthermore if I paid $50 for something and waited 6 months with no response... Then the response I get is go away you whiner! Well I think that would be a no-brainer... Come to GruppeB.

Gruppe B even has pictures of naked women! All tastefully done of course.

Perhaps the RGruppe chaps would allow me to "stomp the divits" of their small displacement engine lawn burn-outs. After of course sipping some DOM PÉRIGNON in the shade of a large oak tree whilst rejecting wanna-be members and keeping the $50.00 as a special rejection fee.
Sounds like the foofy country club I was "dumb enough" to join a while back. Mr. Embs your use of the "F" word will not be tolerated on the club grounds, okay F you and gimme my money back.

This is actually the second derogitory post that I've received from an RGruppe member (the other was on the 912 forum where the owner of the 912R didn't think my car was RGruppe caliber). I've never met such animosity from a bunch of fellow Porsche owners before... perhaps I should reconsider my membership. I wouldn't want people to automatically think I'm a dick just because of a sticker on the back of my car. What's up with you guys?

As for "jumping on the internet", this is a public forum, get used to hearing other points of view. The Nazi's were defeated you know...
