Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

July saw the last posts on P-1 which has now sadly closed.

Chris Kenward kindly let the club piggy back his forum for a few years to give us an online communication presence.

Quite a few of us on here first met up via P-1 and I for one have made some great friends on the back of Chris, Cindy and Dave's efforts.

Cheers guys and good luck.

Aye, this forum probably wouldn’t exist if Porsche-1 hadn’t given us somewhere to start from.

Sorry to hear it’s closed.

Good luck with whatever’s next Chris.

same here, as has been mentioned this site probably wouldn't have happened without it

hear , hear same for me , thanks Chris , and good luck for the future

Hi Folks

Many thanks for the kind words. Once the TIPEC forum opened and I saw folks starting to drift away from Porsche-1.net, it didn't take too much brain power to realise that, with the advent of the new TIPEC forum, there were just too many Porsche forums on the 'net. To have kept P-1 going would have just simply diluted the community, so time to close and let other forums take over.

I specifically made the offer to then chairman, Ian Hicks, to use P-1.net. Reasons were simple - because I loved the club and wanted no more than to help provide an Internet presence for the members. At the time I knew it would only be a matter of time before the club stood on its own - a natural progression.

I'm very happy to have been able to have done two very solid things for the club - (a) provide a forum free of charge for the members for four years and (b) to have taken over the editorship of All Torque, at a time when one more magazine would have meant the demise of the club because of its cost to produce. I had grand fun doing both!

Now I'm happy to just hang about and enjoy! Long may it last.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
i never went on the p-1 forum as i never knew it existed (possibly much like many owners don't know mine exists) but like yours its there as a purpose and maybe one day it will attract attention.

so from what i have learned from reading this thread it seems that there a lot of people that owe you a lifetime of gratitude and that includes myself, simply because without you're help this forum/club would possibly not exist.

thanks Chris

<blush> :bolt:

and Chris, a wonderful job you did of it

Thanks, mate. I thoroughly enjoyed doing it for the club. It was a great chapter in life!
