Porsche On-Line/Internet Discussion Groups

First off I want to say a quick hello to all the folks who keep dropping by from the 911uk.com discussion board(s). I’ve only just joined up over there and everyone has been quite welcoming and friendly (kind of scary almost). I’m still waiting to get flamed, but it will probably come soon enough (as soon as I put my foot in my mouth as I usually do) :-) If you’re so inclined, please feel free to subscribe via RSS or email over there on the right ————>.

The thing that I find interesting is that I know there were 10′s of thousands of Porsche 993(s) produced from 1994 to 1998, but I simply don’t find a lot of people talking about them. What am I missing? More to the point, where are all the sites that those of us interested in the Porsche 993 and other air-cooled Porsches can interact on? Don’t get me wrong, I know that forums like Rennlist and 911uk exist and are used, but it seems to be the same people over and over.

I’ve tried various Google searches and other search engines and keep coming up with the same groups.

Here’s what I’ve found so far -

www.911uk.com
www.RennTech.org
www.roadfly.com
www.rennlist.com
www.porschegroups.com

What else is out there? Anything worth looking at? I would appreciate any comments or suggestions that anyone might have.

    [...] I’ve mentioned before, that I’m a member of most of the popular on-line Porsche forums (Rennlist, Pcars, 6speedonline, etc.) and they all have lively technical discussion forums. However, at times, due to the lack of emotion and ability to express sarcasm in a forum post the responses can seem, hmm, how do I put this? They aren’t hostile; I’m positive that’s not the intent. Let’s call the answers… short. Yeah, that works. [...]

    My thought on this ? The 993 series cars are wonderful but they are really too complex for mere mortals to work on, and I think this is why these models lack the critical mass of enthusiast discussions found for the 911 (1965->89) series cars. Not that I would pass on a backfit variocam in an earlier car!
