PLEASE READ - REGARDING THIS BBS AND WEBSITE
 

Hi there everyone. As you already may know, Pelican Parts has been in business and growing for the past three years. We have been self-financed up until this point.

Now we are beginning to look for outside venture capital so that we can expand our business model and this wonderful website. I'm working on a company profile right now, and I would like to solicit user 'testimonials' as to the usefulness of this BBS and this website.

If you like the website & BBS, your comments and feedback would be much appreciated by replying to this BBS topic.

Many thanks in advance!!!

This BBS has been very helpful to me. The contributors are knowledgeable and friendly as well as entertaining. I read it every day for my own general knowledge about the 944.

This website is great. It is probably the 2nd or 3rd thing that I go to after checking email or business emails. I check it several times during the day too. I re-timed my sunroof the other day from a great tech article that someone told me about, from the BBS, and it worked like a champ.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

This BBS is great, very informative, etc.

However the best part of it is the people here, they often check back, reply without taking weeks, and post in a respectful, mature manner.

I agree with everyone, keep up the good work.

This website is great! Lots of knowledge when you combine everyone on it. Also, the parts diagrams are excellent...can't forget the classifieds too! Good Luck!

This site is very helpful and user friendly.
I've owned a 944 for a bit more than 2-years and the threads here have saved me lots of time and money in repairs. Thanks and keep it going.

I check this BBS a couple of times a day. People ask questions freely and generally receive a helpful answers. Most of the members are knowledgeable, friendly, and mature. I've found a few other automotive BBS's on the web, but this one is BY FAR the best!

This is the best BBS on the net! Keep up the good work! http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif

Great site, great message boards.

The information on this BBS is just as valuable, if not more valuable... than the info in any Porsche manual I own (and i own them all)

Through their use of a community-driven discussion board and beautifully written website Pelicanparts.com has won first preference for all of my Porsche related shopping. In every instance that I have needed a part the staff at Pelicanparts.com has continually provided me with excellent responsiveness and service that is above and beyond brick and morter, let alone web, standards. I commend Pelicanparts.com on their business and will continue to be a loyal customer. Thanks again.

This website was exremely informative and a godsend...I log on everyday at least 2 times minimum....I have gotten mroe infroamtion ehre that I was confident in working on my own 91 944 S2. I have changed the belts for the first time and done so sucessfully. Thanx for the information.

The Pelican Parts BBS is outstanding. It is an invaluable resource for me and my fellow waterboys. I can get advice on a problem from people who have experienced that problem. On cars this rare, I cannot trust information from my local NAPA or Pepboys. Having this BBS allows me to fix things fast and efficiently. As a side benefit, having the ability to chat with other Porsche ethusiasts is a great asset and is very satisfying.

Thanks Pelican

The BBS is nice. But what I really love about Pelican Parts is the good prices on parts. I got a great deal on a complete clutch kit. Also, the fact that they sell parts AND have a BBS AND classifieds AND parts diagrams...

this board is very informative and helpful.

I live off this board. If it weren't for it, my 944 would have been parked long ago. I don't think that I have not ever gotten the info that I needed.

It's great!

I really enjoy the web site. The technical articles are excellent. The parts diagrams are good, showing how everything comes apart and goes together. The BBS is my favorite. There are ignorant people, as myself, and knowledgeable ones sharing answers. One of the best things about it is that you can read about something and its solution before it happens to you.

This website is excellent! The wealth of knowledge this site provides is probably the most valuable tool any of it's users could obtain. Hats off to the designers and users of this website. Keep up the great work.

This website is the first place I go for parts. And to find out what parts I need, I always access the BBS for trouble shooting and knowledge.

Keep up the great work and good luck with getting some venture capital (I know how hard that is, no matter how well the business plan looks on paper http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif )

I can't think of anything else to add, except thanks to you for hosting it, and thanks to everyone posting here for making it a sucess. You can ask the most absurd question about these cars, and someone knows the answer. If not, as a group, we'll figure it out!

I would not own my 944 if it wasn't for Pelican Parts & this Web and BBS. I have had every problem that I have had with this car solved with help from this BBS. I also Buy the majority of my parts from Pelican not only to support this board but they have great prices and they go out of their way.I ordered a bunch of clutch parts and was driving up to pick them up one of the parts had been out of stock. Darren called a local dealer and made sure that they had the part in stock and reduced my bill by the diffrence in price from Pelican and the porsche dealer. This is way over the top service. Thanks again Darren and I hope all goes well and that you guys can keep it up

Wayne, This has got to be the best BBS for information on repairing and maintaining Porsche's on the net. I've asked many of the fellow members for advise on adjusting, finding, or tuning items that I can't find information on anywhere else, and they always come up with exactly the information I need. Keep up the great work and thank you all for your support in keeping this site an active and sometimes very entertaining one as well!

This BBS has litteraly saved me hundreds of dollars. Rather than going to a mechanic to have my questions answered, I can post it here and have many answers for free. And from that I learn that much more about my car. Thanks to all of you.

Wayne...Good board; lots of (good)info &
(interesting)opinions & (entertaining)comment
and "testosterone" (need more estrogen). As a
newby 924 owner-driver I've gotten some tips
here that calmed my nerves on car issues &
a couple hints for troubleshooting. Thanks.

This BBS has been SO helpfull. The Pelican Parts website is great. The people involved with this BBS are great and I sure hope it stays for a long long time.

It's a great BBS which I checked out for two months before I bought my 944. It gave me the confidence that I could get answers to my questions that the shop manuals might not be able to provide. And, for those "bottom line" type of folks, I've purchased many parts based on the input from this board.

Yes this BBS is excellent. This BBS seems to best one where 944/924 owners get along good out of all the lists I have seen. The people here make this board, and the people are great, so the board is great as a result.

The whole website, and especially the BBS are fantastic!!! It has given me a lot of useful information, as over here in the UK there isn't a lot going on with old 944's.I am currently restoring mine from a bare shell, and this site is a must for me!!

Great site. I've used or read all of the departments within the 944 Forum. This is my main site for parts, repair questions and some laughs.

Can you get Spell Check to work?

Sorry I missed this one. Hope it's not too late to help out. Here is a previous post I submitted in another reply...

"...My radiator sprang a leak (mind you my 944 is my only car and I live 20 miles from work) and I told them my situation. (Vertex)promised it'll be shipped the next day. I called them 10 days later and (Vertex) said it'll be shipped the next day. Meanwhile, 2 weeks in a foreign country bumming rides to work. This similar situation happened to 2 co-workers of mine... By the way, PP had the radiator to me in 5 days...Los Angeles to Naples Italy. That's service...After all when was the last time you called Tom, Wayne, or any of the other Pelican Parts guys and they didn't spend an extra few minutes on the phone trouble-shooting or giving advice that saved you time and money. This world is coming too far to the Walmart/RiteAide/Radio Shack where the only goal is to either provide crappy service for the promise of a 25 cent savings or to get your money and kick you out of the door. I have officially (personally) put Vertex in the Walmart index. From now on I am going to use Pelican Parts, Ma & Pa's Pharmacy, and Joe's Hardware where I know my questions will get answered and my concerns are addressed by the owner instead of being transfered to some snot-nose at the complaints department."

Pelican Parts is by far the best Porsche supplier I have dealt with. I've used them since they opened shop and will continue to use them almost exclusively.
