Boxster's only car club?

Not sure if this is the correct location to ask this but is there a Boxster's only car Club out there that is not affiliated with PCA? My search has come up with very limited results.

As Tim suggested, this is as close as you're going to find. And the folks here are pretty passionate about the Boxster.

I agree this forum is awesome but I guess what I'm was wondering if there was a actual Boxsters only club with regions where events / meets are organized that just focuses on the Boxster.

No, not that any of us know of (or we would all already belong to it!).

Cool

I think local Boxster clubs with a loose National connection would be a good idea. I have been a member of PCA for 2 years and I feel like a red heade stepchild because I dont drive a 911. The PCA monthly rag never has stories or articles on Boxsters......Are there any Boxster owners in the Metro Atlanta area that are interested in getting together for a casual meeting/ get together?

Back when I had a 914, another unloved P-car, we would have our own get togethers organized by a couple of forum members. Sometimes just do a local event like in Atlanta for a cook out and shoot the breeze. Some were long weekend events to destinations with some good driving roads like the Tail of the Dragon. It was quite a site to see 25 - 30 914s of various colors parading down the road.

I have always loved the 914! And that pic is awesome with so many. Seriously thought of trying to find a '73 2.0, but am ultimately going to end up (in 2 days!) in a 986.

Must be your local club. The San Diego club has a the full spectrum from 356 to GT4 and everything in-between. No 911 superiority

You are right, I do'nt see very many Boxster articles in Panorama

You guys must be in a different PCA than me. I see articles all the time in both regional and national mags featuring Boxsters. Our local tours, AX, and track day events are often 30% Boxsters. Note our May cover:
http://gpx.pca.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/May-2015-Circuit.pdf

In the end, all social clubs are only a good as you make them to be. There will always be folks you like, and those you don't like. Hang out with the ones you like. Want to do some Boxster only events? Put together a "Boxster's only" tour of your favorite road and run it through your PCA with the benefit of free advertising and free PCA insurance to CYA if someone gets stupid. Want to see a Boxster article in Pano? Write a cool story about your car or your road trip or whatever. Mags always want interesting content with good pics. Tom Stone's 2 year journey into Boxster Spec Racing would be a good example.

When I joined PCA 10 years ago there were some things I liked and some things I wanted to change, so I got involved in the leadership and changed it. No reason to fear those old dudes with 40 yr old cars, motors hanging aft of the rear axle and cooled by about 5 gallons of oil. We have a shared enthusiasm for Porsche and really have a lot more common interests than differences. If someone annoys me, I simply move on and hang with the folks I like.

You should call it Porsche One Club. Since the very first ever built Porsche had: two seats only, no top, boxer engine in the middle and not the rear a.k.a. the 986.
