We are on our 10th & 11th , my Panamera S V8 and her Diesel Cayenne S V8. Love V8’s.
As you get older you may have more difficulty getting out but don’t give up
Cheers Godfrey & Samme

Fantastic Porsche history Godfrey! Welcome to Carpokes!!

Hi Guys,

I found this place by accident watching the YouTube video about changing chrono watch rings.
The guy had exactly like my car color and then ring from Tom matched perfectly. I am still trying to figure out how to order the Mamba Green one.
Yesterday I bought my first Porsche at 49
Its 2023 Taycan 4S in Mamba Green. Beautiful machine. Started modding already.
Looks like a great place here with lots of knowledge. Now just need to find out how to order those rings

Welcome to Carpokes!

Godfrey, Samme and Philly , welcome to you all and it is so great we are getting members from all over the globe.

Special shout out to you and Samme, Godfrey, you will find that there are quite a few of us on the site in our 60s, 70s and 80s, and Porsche may be part of what keeps us young, ha!

Philly , interesting to note you just got your Taycan and are planning on your mods already. I am sure many would be interested to hear what you plan to do and I do understand since I tend to mod everything -- some just with cosmetic accessories, but more often performance upgrades.

That's an awesome accomplishment to you and your group! That's also a huge group of Porsche GT owners - wow!

I imagine that some of your group made it to Harper Porsche's Plática at the old quarry near Chattanooga two weeks ago featuring a gathering of eighteen (18) Carrera GTs.

Thank you for the compliment and welcome. I'm happy to join this, dare I say "calmer" than another, online community

A few Smokies GT members did make it to Harper's Plática. More would have done so but it was only a week after our main 10th anniversary spring event.
