Best group of enthusiast's on any Porsche forum!

I talk to a LOT of Porsche people through racing, air-cooled, website people, writers, photographers, etc and when I mention 986 forum they often call us a bunch of wussies (but the word they use starts with a p).

I remind them to never confuse class with a lack of passion. Most everyone here has a true passion for the marque and the model. The difference is that we don't use forum's as an outlet for our misplaced anger.

Except maybe for cats.

See very, very little BS here. Have gotten very good advice, support, and comments. I greatly appreciate the tolerance and interest in my more "off topic" threads as well.
I've run screaming from forums that were so singular focused, arrogant, and hateful, that there was almost an oppressive feeling. Not so here.

Yup, pretty much the best forum for Boxster owners or those who want one. I've learned more here than anywhere else and felt welcome from the get go. Even when not looking for specific things I am always entertained.

A couple of other forums I started in with have become occasional visits but this one I peruse just about everyday.

Here's to all the Boxster owners on this forum and to those who aspire to be an owner!
:cheers:

that's gonna cost you Tom, you know we don't speak about that furry creature LOL

All seriousness aside, this is far and away the best Porsche forum by a mile.

See ya on the Roval trying to stay dry

I love this forum, I love how great people have come together and developed real things like the HIDs or the Illuminated windscreen. It's taught me so much about my car and deepened my love for it.

I check the other forums for parts and stuff, but this is my main one that I read and post. Without this forum I probably would not have gotten a Boxster or be able to work on it.

I have been a member of the Pelican forum since 2002 and now on this forum for about two years. They are two of the finest Porsche forums out there. Generally very good advice, minimal BS and very effective for sale/wanted to buy classifieds. I have purchased quite a few items from this forum and EVERY transaction has gone well. I raise a :cheers: to both forums.

Yep, this is the only forum I go to daily. None of the others are worth my time.

The advise I have found on this forum has saved me a ton of money and the people are pretty cool too. Thanks everyone!!

Visited the German Porsche forum today for about 30 minutes. Read some threads, shaked my head all the time. Shut down the computer and went for a walk. Came back and closed my account on that German Porsche forum.

Stepping by here nearly daily by day - OK sometimes weekly if work load is too high. But always fun, always interesting. Thanks guys!

I know, my english skills are not that good and sometimes i use wrong terms. Hopefully you understand what i mean in general.

Regards from Germany
Markus

Your English is very good, Markus! And far better than my German!

wow...that is exactly why I am here and not on a German Porsche forum like PFF et al.
We do have a really, really nice spirit here, probably the best of all p-forums.
Thanks to all of you guys! :cheers:

Grüße aus Deutschland

P.S.: anyone else from Germany?
