THAT is what I was looking for in both locals I have been a member of; a camaradarie. Unfortunately, that is not what I found. Wife and I went to the meetings, met a few fine people but none who worked on their own cars or who were willing to help someone else. We have out here (a woman) who, according to her, spent $64,000 on a 1984 911 to make sure it would win every concours event it entered. At meetings, she would rant on and on, Kathryn would nod and smile, and the lady's husband (who owned a Corvette) would sit beside her and simply roll his eyes. Back East if you didn't own a late model 911, you didn't own a real Porsche. At the time I had a 924 that had been completely gone over (new paint, upholstry, refreshed mechanicals) that won at local car shows but it simply was "Just an Audi".
Maybe we, here, at PPOT are just a different breed.
