The Endearing Tabs

The following was what endeared Tabs52 to the R Gruppe and Registry folks

Theres still Cambria

Well even though the festivities for Hitlers Birthday have been called off. There still is the R Gruppes conclave in Cambria. Who knows it just might turn out to be the social event of the season. The guys are all getting their Porsches warmed up for the mad dash up the coast or down the coast as the case may be. They're even planning a caravan, kinda like a panzer group spearhead of some sort. To hear them talk it's like they are planning an invasion of Russia or something......

It wasn't too long after this was Posted that the R Gruppe met its Stalingrad...ahhhh Black Audi in a Cambrian parking lot.

I'm in a dark blue shirt in the back at the left. My head is between 2 raised arms and the Ragamuffin is hard left between an orange and gold car, yellow lights.

Where is tabs?

At home.

I think the orange car is Rob Dickenson's '69 hotrod which inspired the look of the first Singer 911.

It is. And Rob is in that pic somewhere. I see Chuck Moreland in front of 2 red shirts on the left. Well I see quite a few, but I'm not going to go through the whole pic.

Even YEARS after I have long forgotten about the R Gruppe there is still animosity on their part toward me....

You flatter yourself, tabby. Those who even remember who you are could really care less, and most don't even remember. You were the proverbial zit on their ass that popped long ago. We have seen many since, all similarly popped, dismissed, and forgotten.

Marc Sanders (aka "Drago" to his friends) however, was another story. The man who started the epic "BAW" threads and fanned their now legendary flames will never be forgotten in the R Gruppe - he became one of our most beloved members. That's right - after raking us over the coals, after starting and perpetuating one of the (probably the) most epic R Gruppe bashing threads of all time (and there have been many), he left us with no other choice - we asked him to join. And, to our mutual benefit, he accepted.

One week ago today marked the third anniversary of Drago's untimely passing. Far too young, he had barely cracked 40 years of age. He left three young boys, the oldest of whom was eight at the time. He left an indelible mark on our club, and will always be remembered. Unlike you...

We held a memorial drive for the big guy last weekend up here in the PacWest region of the R Gruppe. RIP Drago, ya big lug.





Drago, in my garage - the "little shop of horrors":



"Mr. Black Audi Wagon" will live on in the heart and soul of the R Gruppe forever. You won't.

But if you are not in the club, he didn't mean squat?

Yeah, this club thing is still whacked. I mean seriously weird, creepy, and sad. . .like "the club" owned him or something?

Well, one thing I know Marc enjoyed was setting up contentious situations, sitting back and watching the show. A lot like tabs, is doing here, I suppose. Maybe this is tabs special way of remembering Drago. --Cheers to Marc.

I really don't have the time to waste on the likes of an R gruppe and their cult like delusions. I sit back and laugh at the fun I had going at you Boyz, but you see you Boyz can't laugh about it and see the fun in it. That is what makes you Boyz serious idiots...to borrow a phrase. So get down on ye knees and pray ye heathens to your false idol Mamon. I have washed my hands of you
