Thank you The Groom for the translation!
I think it what a great article, as Nick says it articulated perfectly what Rennteam is about. Thanks to Flat6 and Stéphane
As to the names of the mods in the article... are you kidding RC? Personally I don't think I deserve mentioning in such an article, not when compared to what you and CR do. I'm just grateful to be able to participate and give what I can back to Rennteam
My feelings exactly Carlos!
My contribution is pretty meager in comparison to RC and CR, or even to you Carlos.
No hurt feelings here. Instead, I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to EVERYONE that is a part of the Rennteam community!

And better beer.
All we have is the stretch of I-87 north going to Montreal (where we could easily exceed posted speed limits by a wide margin)

I have arranged to meet up with Porschejeck on Saturday 22nd April somewhere near Dusseldorf / Monchengladbach / Rheindahlen, if anyone is interested.
Re: Rennteam made it to the PRESS
Guys, there are only three locations I can think of regarding an international Rennteam.com member meeting:
1. Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen/Weissach
2. South France (Cote d'Azur)
3. Dubai
The first two locations would be perfect since a lot of members could join us with their cars.
The last location on the list would be a very special place if somebody from that region would support this meeting.
I think we have the biggest chance to meet in the Stuttgart region but it has to be well organized, incl. a factory and Weissach visit and maybe with some further goodies like meeting Walter Röhrl and/or somebody from the higher Porsche leadership.
There are lots of ideas and suggestions...

1. Sounds brilliant - count me in.
2. I'm down on Cote d'Azure in September if anyone wants to meet up.

I know but CA and FL in the U.S. seems like a cool place to meet to especially if the meeting coincides with Winter.

Re: Rennteam made it to the PRESS
I would love to meet you guys in the US but it wouldn't be practical from many points of view. The US is huge, we have members from California, New York/New Jersey, Texas, Florida, Illinois, etc., it would be almost impossible to bring them all together, especially with their cars.
The members in Europe are much closer to each other, it takes around 8-10 hours to drive from Munich to Nice (Cote d'Azur), just an example how short the distances are over here. And I think a lot of Porsche owners from the US would love to combine the meeting with a visit to Europe, especially since they get an occasion to visit the factory and Weissach. And we could even add more: renting Porsche cars from Porsche Travel for a short Germany/Austria/Switzerland tour or similar. There would be so many possibilities.
South France would be great because of the nice weather in summer and the atmosphere.
Dubai would be interesting because of the current development in tourism over there, not to speak about the many sportscars on the street and the very exclusive hotels and shops. At the same time we could combine this visit with some driving events (Cayenne desert fun or driving at high speeds on closed streets, etc.). Dubai people are also well known for their hospitality.
Again, just some ideas, we're open to everything.

How would we all get our cars over there from the US?
You wouldn't need to. Porsche Travel for example offers organized tour packages with Porsche cars, two persons per car. There are so many possibilities.
Do they rent tuned up Turbo Cabs with 1,000Nm of torque at 3,000rpm's?

First off Congradulations RC and everyone; I love this forum and find it a great source of knowledge as i soon hope to start my Porsche experience.
Secondly about the International meet I think its a great idea; I was thinking about planning a personal trip to Europe next summer (2007), spend a week in Germany (nurburgring, factory tour) then go over to Barcelona to catch the formula 1 race. Even if the international meet happens before that i'm just throwing that out in the event that anyone would want to join up.

It would make Rennteam appear even more impressive to Porsche officials if a decent number shows up at Zuffenhausen / Weissach, apart from that I see this as the most convenient and interesting option of them all (though I do like the other two option as well
)!

Re: Rennteam made it to the PRESS
First of all, many many congrats to RC and the other mods for a great job
I just returned from an extended 1,500 km factory pick up tour
(report will follow tomorrow) and I love to see this thread.
All I can say is that since my short time of membership Rennteam has become like a second home to me and that I love this site
I guess one of the most important aspects mentioned in the interview is that Rennteam is a great platform to make friendship with really nice sportscar enthusiasts around the world - that's evidence of the site's quality: it's not about flaming each other or placing childish threads, but sharing valuable information and ownership experiences, sometimes leading to personal friendships beyond the "virtual world".
I think it's a great idea to arrange an international Rennteam meeting to further strengthen this spirit
A meeting in Stuttgart with hopefully hundreds of Rennteamers with their cars would be a great opportunity to make PAG understand that there are still a lot of enthusiasts and not only "ordinary customers".

Great post. I'll endorse Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen/Weissach, my summer is crazy busy until mid-August, but after then or next summer would work for me, even if just for an extended weekend.
Now all I need is the contact number/e-mail for Porsche Travel to get my 997TT reserved for the rendezvous.
