Interesting about the PCA - and while our group, the GMTPCA (Green mountain, Vermont chapter) consists of a truly wonderful group of folks, and while, to the GMTPCA’s credit, the club website does admit that “we are mainly a social club,” I’d joined up with some expectation (or at least hope) that maybe a few of this club’s members might share at least some of my own passion and enthusiasm in the arena of DIY repair/rebuild and maintenance. Turns out that I am pretty much a complete anomaly in this regard, except for the club member who also happens to own a very successful Porsche-only repair shop up in Williston (Vermont).
On balance, when I’d attended a recent club driving event, my 944 at least garnered a good amount of interest…which came as an unexpected surprise. My thought here is that (the singularity of my 944 on this drive notwithstanding) when folks do get to see a well-kept 944 in the flesh, they can finally see what a truly nice car this is, and that it actually fits rather well within the broader pantheon of the Porsche marque.
At any rate…I don’t want to step on any toes here - PCA wise, but to those who’ve responded, thanks for the reaffirmation of what has become my own perspective - that by and large, the PCA caters heavily to the “concourse/Treffen crowd,” augmented by a fair amount of racing-related content.
And while it would be great to have a (real, paper) magazine “for the rest of us,” one which might include a goodly amount of DIY (rebuild/repair/maintenance) content (any deep pockets out there care to take a stab at this?) - it seems the reality here is that there do exist other resources for this, in the form of internet videos, repair manuals, and forums such as this one.
