morning, and welcome. this is a little forum for anyone with a german or british car who lives in the triangle between San Antonio, Austin and the Hill Country. Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Bentley, and the odd Jaguar or Mini if you want to argue about whether it counts.

three boards. Owners talk is drives, meets, the heat, what you daily, what you are thinking about buying next. Service, parts and warranty is the money side of keeping one of these on the road: dealer versus indy, part numbers, fluid intervals, what the warranty actually paid. Buying and auctions is how you got the car and what you paid, whether that was a dealer, a private seller, a lease return or an auction.

the rules fit on an index card. numbers, always: a repair post without the invoice total or a purchase post without the price gets a mod note asking for it. nobody sells anything here, we skipped the classifieds section for a reason. dealer, shop and lender employees say so up front. be decent to each other, the Macan is a real Porsche argument has been had and we are not having it again. mods will shift a post to a better home or lock one that has gone sideways, with a note saying why.

registration is by request while the spam is what it is. drop a line via the contact form with the car and your part of the state.

good to have a local board. i will take the workshop questions on the Porsche side where i can. one ask for the mods: if somebody posts a fault code or a noise, make them put the model year and the engine in the first line. a 2015 Macan S and a 2020 Macan S do not share a motor and half the answers on the big national forums are wrong for exactly that reason.

added it to the about page, year and engine in the first line of any shop question. we are up to forty some accounts already, which is more than the two dozen i had in mind for the first month. if you know a cars and coffee regular who would post more than they lurk, send them over.
