How do you join the RGruppe?
 

I know there are members here on pelican. I'm interested in becoming a member. How do I join?

This is going to be good! :eek:

They're currently not accepting new members.

I'll get the popcorn;)

send a description of your Black Audi station wagon to Chris Huergas

there is not much point in joining unless there area few members in your area - it is more of a driving group than a 'membership' group

I know there are some members on the east coast, and a few who did an epic drive out to the Calif. meeting one year from the midwest

Start your own group and call it a day.

The R Gruppe finds YOU....not the other way around.....

Here's where the second string hangs....

http://www.gruppeb.org/

There are a hand full of guys from the Chicago area that are members...that being said, they've driven their cars to California to participate in events.

No use joining unless you plan to be a particpant. Perhaps you just want a cool car decal or t-shirt (I have one).

No need to be a bunch of asses.. By the way, Rsquared has a couple of cool CARS that would warrant the stickers.. :mad:

what are you talking about? He sold the SC...

I don't think anyone here is being a "bunch ass". It seems that there is a reputation that precedes R, and may affect people's opinions.

What do I care, though? I'll go back to my beer and cigar now.

Do you mean the Type-R sticker?

It's still a regional club. They have a lot of influence over the early 911s because so many of he members live close to the Excellence magazine office.

Travel budgets are pretty tight in the publishing industry these days and it helps if you can find local cars. R Gruppe has benefited from this relationship a great deal.

If you don't live in CA there is very little reason to join. All of the R Gruppe information is carried on the Early 911S Bulletin Board [URL="http://www.early911sregistry.org"URL]. The knowledge of that board is simply incredible.

posting comments like...

"i'll get the popcorn"
"this is going to be good"
"Start your own group and call it a day"

etc. without giving relevant responses makes you sound like a bunch of asses. IMHO.

I don't know why you would care . I care because i'm Rsquaredtriplesticks.:)

thank you rfn026 for the relevant reply;)

wow...I had no idea this was a sore subject.:confused: Thanks oldschool. I'm very happy with my current lineup.

Do you mean the Type-R sticker?...Island911 I'm not familiar with that. Please enlighten.

I have actually spoken to Chris. He said he was assigning regional gruppe meisters to help support the group. He never mentioned that they were a California only group. In fact he said they had members in other parts of the country and have done driving "events" to Fla. I don't think he ever intended to take on the administrative burden of a formal club.

Are you guys saying that the RGruppe are a bunch of snobs because they turned you down? Or that because of a lack of administrative support they can't take members?

I'm all about driving my cars...ask me about the trips I made to bring each of my 911s home. I'm currently giving the 72 a narrow-bodied ST treatment complete with 2.7RS motor (not completely correct for an ST but loads of fun).

Now can someone tell me how to join the RGruppe so I can get those cool stickers, license frames and badges:rolleyes:

Sometimes humor gets lost in translation. I found the comments quite amusing but then you would have to know the history.

No one was poking fun at Rsquared. They were making fun of RGruppe's history. They are a club founded on "no attitudes" but history has shown otherwise. I'm sure to the founder's dismay. Oh well ***** happens.

Rsquared, Why don't you hook up with some of the members from Pelican in your area for some drives. It'll be the same difference. Maybe sponsor a cars and coffee get together on the weekend. Call it what you want.
