R Gruppe Membership:

"Currently the club isn't seeking new members, but if you'd like to be considered for membership please send an email to the club founder; Cris Huergas with your name, contact information, a description of your car, and a few photos."


I don't mean to be picky but doesn't this sound a little exclusive/elitist. I'm assuming that membership is limited to only those who own a particular year of car w/ certain qualities/characteristics. So membership is very expensive if car ownership is a prerequisite.

I have always liked the early (pre 74 cars) and being curious went to the R Gruppe website to look and was somewhat surprised to see the rather negative attitude toward general membership.

I really enjoy seeing these cars and appreciate the time and money others have invested to maintain these cars but I have to say that I'm also a little disappointed that having a serious interest w/o ownership eliminates me from consideration.

I did not contact Cris, although I did exchange emails with him a number of years ago (when I owned a 74 911). Since I just have an 84 Carrera, I guess I'll just have to shut up until I can buck up. $$

Life goes on.

(This is not meant to be a rant, guess I'm just thinking out loud on this snowy Monday morning.)
