Gruppe B?
 

I have seen this signature with some folks out there, and even went to the web site, but I'm not sure what Gruppe B is all about. Anyone out there know?

Dan are you there? And thanks!

Just more Porsche silliness, mostly in the mid-west with a few westerners and NoVA participants with bastardized Porsches. HeHe.

^^^^what Grady said^^^^

Make sure you visit the forums...specifically "The Courtyard". Living in Chicago, I've met a lot of these guys. A lot of good people there. Between all of us, there aren't too many problems we can figure out. A lot of emphasis is on avoiding the "Porsche tax" (overpaying because it's a Porsche).

Neal,

Gruppe B is a collection of people who tend to mod their cars without total regard to originality (factory correct). Not a lot of concourse guys here. People like me with a 71 front end and a 76 back end find comfort here...

They're a bunch of poseurs, especially that Jim Richards character. :p Word has it he drives a pink car.

Hello Neal

This may help

hope this helps :)

We also let in hosers like Pari, but usually charge them a lot of money to join. No one let's them know it's actually free. :p

Gruppe B is the antithesis of the men in plaid. Do what you like, it's your car, damnit! That's what it is.

Yeah, my car is pink. :rolleyes:

Hey, that's what color Souk told me..... :D

When you're rolling in the $$ like me, nothings free. :rolleyes:

I thought so ;)



So you see we would even let Jims pink car in :)

Duct tape, but only used as drink holders

Yep :)

What is GruppeB? Whoa boy….. If you refuse to take out the gas tank when you weld in your front pan, if you make your own steel track wheels, if you take an early car and make it into an RSR slantnose, if you own a Targa and admit it openly, If you paint your car in the garage with no fear of plastic shrink wrap implosion, if you have ever been to a Bonfire of Doom!!!, if you think flat black is a perfectly acceptable color for a Porsche, if you wake up in your car with a giant pink cat head, these are just some indicators that you may be GruppeB material…..:D

Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst Porsche Group on the internet?

Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.

Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horse****, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who parked a Black Audi at R Gruppe's wankfest? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the PCA dinner? Every DE, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, engines explode.

Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Gruppe B, sir.

Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Gruppe B, you TWERP!

"if you own a Targa and admit it openly..."

Gruppe B #615.

Gruppe B is like making nitroglycerine in your basement, it's volatile, unstable, and dangerous!
Actually it's just a bunch of guys who like to have lots of fun, drink Guinness and not take ourselves to seriously, well, except for Jim who drives the pink car, he get's kind of defensive once in a while! :)

Cgarr does have an excellent airborne delivery service as well!

Craig I have been wondering

who did you get to stand on the wing and take that pic ;)

If you have no fear of knocking down penguins in the crosswalk like you're bowling a strike, then Gruppe B's for you. :D

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our 911's- we did.

But you can't hold a whole Gruppe responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole Internet BBS system? And if the whole Internet BBS system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our car culture in general? I put it to you- isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Classic Jim!!!http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/pint1.gif

You're either with us or against us. Having a Willys is a plus!

Don’t forget about the extremely out of control GruppeB-tul!!!

I believe so far we only have one member in this Splinter Cell…..

I had the opportunity of meeting up with a master class Gruppe B representative, K9Handler on this site, at his home unit in Germany. No beer was refused which, with hindsight, was an absolute win-win.
K9 (or rather, Handler) ran a remastered 3.6 litered early year Porksche, in actual true fact, he didn't, due to his master craftsman wrench being busy elsewhere in the land of Teutons.

My observation (not sponsored by that gruppe) is that they are motivated by the statement "Ask not, Gentlemen, what your Porksche can do for you, ask what you can do to your Porksche".

I wish them fortitude and many years of 911 brotherhood!

Love the Bug!!
 

Shawn, I love the bug. Post more pics soon, looks like something I may create in my near future. How did it fair off road? Later, Rick

Think 83 cab, with a 73RS body backdate and a 93 3.6 engine and you might be close....

What is Gruppe B?
 

I have always found it easier to explain something with pictures, so I have compiled this group of what Gruppe B is.

The Baja is unstoppable!

I was thinking the same thing. Sawsall ownership is a fundamental Gruppe B requirement. How you use it is not as important. We trust you. :eek:

Gruppe B checklist:

1. Sawzall, check

2. Assorted large hammers, check

3. Air tools, check

4. 6-ton jack stands, check

5. Cutting torch, (gotta get one, not sure why)

6. Drills for polishing parts and lightening metal, check

7. Case of Guinness, chilled, check!http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/pint1.gif

Can you name the golfers in the pic?
Oh and yes I am going to the dark side as well be a memeber for about year Now I am going to start cutting(can you say turbo)

GRUPPE B HAS 733T SK1LLZ AND UBER MICRO.

NATCH

I love the fact that Pelican considers this thread about a Gruppe with the wrong letter (wink) to have no technical input and moves it to the OT section but lets thread Cayman to Gayman stay. It always good to know where you stand, right below tasteless homosexual comments...

We also have bigger than average winkies....unless yer name is Mull.

JUST FINISHED PUTTING RACING STRIPES ON THE CAR WITH A BLACK MARKER.

SMILEY FACE ON THE HOOD, LIGHTNING BOLTS DOWN THE SIDE.

LUNCH BREAK IS NEXT. 5 HARD BOILED EGGS, HANDFUL OF RAISINS, CAPRI SUN AND SWEET TARTS.

DON'T EVEN ASK TO SHARE. I WILL BITE YOU WITHOUT THINKING TWICE

...if you transport a 915 gearbox on the undercarraige of your airplane, you might be GruppeB material

...if your annual RC porsche race usually turns into a smokey pile of melted plastic, you might be GruppeB material

...if the names "Hammer", "Soukus", "Otto", or "Young Jedi" are common on your tongue, you might be GruppeB material

...if you've ever seen Josh in a superman outfit, you might be GruppeB material

...if the words "Numbers Matching" make you roll your eyes, you might be GruppeB material

You say Concour Weenie....and you emphasize weenie....

LOL. Classic. I love it.

If you've ever riveted fenders to your 911, you might be Gruppe-B material.

If you've ever transported a 911 in the bed of your pick-up, you might be Gruppe-B material

Hey, don't forget to add Channel-Locks to your list required tools!
