Before I found this page I could only talk to Porsche friends in the Copenhagen area. Now I talk to Porsche friends from all over the world. This page is great!

An online international Porsche Club.

Only downside is that I now spend far too much time on the internet...

I am a new porsche owner as well as a new member to this bb. I find it to be an invaluable tool. not only to resolve problems in a quick inexpensive way, but to associate with such a great group of people. I am fortunate to have you guys moderate this and look forward to your expansion.

This website has been a fantastic resource for me as a new owner. I routinely use the advice, both from technical articales and other users, to work on my car and save hundreds of dollars in repair costs.

As mentioned by others, the biggest strength of this site is the fact that Wayne and Tom allow a totally open discussion designed to satisfy their customers and reduce their repair costs rather than costantly "pushing" their parts for sale.

When I bought my 1973 911T over a year ago, I really knew nothing about the car. The Pelican Parts webpage and BBS have really provided me with a lot of useful information. The technical articles on the Pelican Parts webpage have saved me hundreds of dollars, and have saved me a great deal of time. It is nice to know that any repairs that I have to make to my car have already been performed by a member of the Pelican Parts bulletin board, and I will always be able to ask questions and receive answers quickly. The Pelican Parts moderator has done an excellent job to prevent useless posts, and the members are always professional with their responses.

I now visit the BBS on a daily basis to read new posts, and I try to help when I can. I can't remember a time when the Pelican Parts webpage was down, and the webpage is updated with new tech articles often. Thanks Pelican!

Dear VC's,

Just a couple of notes;

1. As seen by shear volume this is a very successful BB

2. Most of us Porsche owners have above average income levels and are willing to pay for an expensive hobby

3. The loyality to pelican is quite high. When i need parts i always chech pleican first, they do get 85% of my business.


4. I check the site daily, just after my stocks.

5 The market is littered with "dot.gones"
Pelican is here to stay.

6. On a teecnical note, there Web site is the best in their market, they were the first to understand E-commerce. They will make a valuable contribution to your porfolio

Wayne,
This site has been has completely changed the way I do business with regards to my Porsche. Before I knew about this board and Pelican Parts, I was forced to pay whatever ridiculous price unscrupulous shop owners felt like charging me for parts as well as service. This site has been instrumental in educating me on the systems and acceptable repair costs for my Porsche. I would still be in the dark ages had it not been for this wonderful sight, B.B., and of course, you..... Wayne.
Thank You,
Pete

I think all of the replies above have said what I feel. So what can I say?

I'd say that resources like those that Pelican Parts offers, like the BBS, the Classifieds, the Technical Articles, and the extensive parts catalog, are not just helpful, but a necessity. The network of enthusiasts that respond and interact with this site have created a culture of knowledgeable experts.

If I were looking to associate myself or company with a group, I would want to align myself with people who share information willingly, just like the people who visit Pelican Parts. There is no better way to promote than by word of mouth.

I would simply state that the web site and BBS have provided me with answers to questions which would have cost me big at a dealer.I buy parts from pelecan directly do to this!!

Just can't live without this web site. With this resource behind me I don't think there's anything I wouldn't undertake to repair on my 911.

As for parts, I always buy my parts from Pelican.

An interesting point is Pelican Parts probably don't mean less trade for the dealerships. Pelican's customers are Porsche enthusists that enjoy working on their own cars and knowing all about them. And keeping old cars on the road. Where as in a Porsche dealership it's just a bunch of lard-ass old men driving up to get their car serviced.

This is the best site on the web for anyone who owns and maintains a Porsche.

In particular the 911 board is simply outstanding.

Couple this to a friendly and reliable mail order business which very often undercuts its rivals by as much as 30% and you have a winner.

I would also like to register my appreciation of the site.

In my experience it represents the premier pre '89 Porsche 911 site, and from my rather more limited experience it also sets the internet standard for other Porsche models.

Thanks again,

Regards

This PP BB and internet site has made owning and maintaining a dream become reality for me. I would have exhausted financial resources long ago had it not been for the help of so many from across the World, who have given sound advice and recommendations keeping me from paying a local mechanic. The technical advice and simplicity to obtain repair parts at a great price from PP has been made foundation increased my ability to do more with my resources available.

The service from PP is second to none which is why they are my primary supplier of all parts needed.

Thanks so very much,

Wayne and Co.,
I can't really add much to everybody else's comments on both the site and BBS, but damn this BBS is so addicting! One thing I love about you guys is when I asked if you guys had something(say, a dual shock kit that resembles real 930 decklids, one on each side) and you didn't, the next thing you guys said was, "WE CAN GET IT FOR YOU!" Now that's dedication! Thanks guys!

Wayne;

Not much I can add to the previous comments. This is "the" most outstatanding Porsche forum on the internet! Does Pelican Parts have to host this site? No, but they do, and we greatly appreciate it. Thanks to Pelican Parts and Wayne.....

Wayne& Tom,
Just a short note to thank you for the BBS.I can't imagine how much money and time it has saved me. Because of this I always give Pelican Parts the first look when I order parts for my 911.
Many thanks,
