Whatever Happened to the R Gruppe Anyway?

Its bin a long while since we heard from any of them. I don't even see many of them around here anymore??? Nor the famous Jackie O and his BB2....

Maybe they are just inbreeding among themselves over on the Early Registry Board?

I was out at the Silver Star swap meet this morning and a guy mentioned he had taken his car out to one of their meets. So they're still around.

On the other had, this guy also just bought a 993, so maybe he will be "disappeared" in the middle of the night.

You singlehandedly convinced them to disband as a result of your brilliant rhetoric and logical analyses of their activities.

Wayne invited me to an R-Gruppe meet from Palm Springs to somewhere else (I forget). Problem is, my lowly '74 isn't an R-Gruppe car. Maybe they're hurting for members.

Good article about the R Gruppe in the last edition of 911 & Porsche World - out of the UK. You should be able to find this publication at the any major newsstand in NA.

Well, you know what Groucho used to say about any club who'd take him as a member...

I heard a dude in a black audi wagon bought the group and moved them to Ohio.
