“The [356 Registry] Travel Assistance Network”

While I was on vacation this past week I had the opportunity to peruse one of my friend’s 356 Registry magazine. Past the great articles, trips and so forth I found a page towards the rear of the magazine that was tailored to a club service database called “The Travel Assistance Network”. It is a compiled database that is published in a small glove box sized booklet and is handed out only to members that join the database.

The major fields that I can remember were: Name, Phone, Area(region), Latest time to call for assistance. This really seemed to ring a bell with a lot of the threads that I have seen in the past few months concerning lengthy travel. There is a contact on the 356 Registry site specifically for this database. Any interest; Members helping members….just a thought.

Good idea ,The BMW Motorcycle Owners of America have a publication called Anonymous.:rolleyes:

The BMW Club has a similar directory.

Best,
Grady

Wow that's nice! I'm up for that. I might not be able to fix every mechanical issue but can certainly offer a garage and tools and a contact for the local import wrench.

Hello all. I'm a founding father of the Early S registry, member #2. Currently have 9113300310. I'm also along time 356 owner and member of the TAN. I live in Jackson, WY. and can offer travel assistance to any early porsche driver touring Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks. I have a barn, tools and a bed in the hayloft. Don't be afraid to venture out and visit the Wyoming boondocks to experince some of the best S driving and mountain scenery on the planet. Long distance travel in early cars is the best and if the TAN makes it a little less daunting, it's even better. If we start an Early S TAN I'm in.

we should have a toll free hot line number that can be called 24/7 where someone would offer advice and be able to send out loaner parts via overnight mail so we are never more than a day away from rescue :)

We have one............it's called AAA Plus :p

Great idea, by the way. A list on the site or yearly insert in the Early Esses that could be put in the glovebox for long trips would be great.

It would be my pleasure to help anyone coming to the Gettysburg area.

Oh, and that would include just meeting you for a beer to look over your trusty steed :)

If there is enough interest; maybe we can insert a ½ page in the Esses asking for contacts in the database. I think this would serve more as a resource/contact for traveling members if need be. I have a small list of resources within my town that I use; but I would just list myself as a contact and then if need be provide additional information when contacted (just as berettafan said). Personally, I would be glad to help other members [or even enthusiasts] in order to help them proceed on with their vacation/travel. Maybe we should call ourselves the Coil Assistance Network; “I’ll let you borrow it for the trip but please ship it back to me…:D ”.


I would not mind compiling this database/ network for S members. I do not know how we should start such a network. Should I write a letter to one of the board members or just wait for more responses? It seems that we have a membership database administrator. Any other [executive] input?:confused:

It seems that we have a membership database administrator.

Good luck with that :(

I don't get it? In the contacts section on the main page there is listed "database administrator" did I interperate that wrong?:confused:
