“The [356 Registry] Travel Assistance Network”

[MoparBoy72]

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.

The BMW Club has a similar directory.

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
