OK, this isn't actually a poll but a request for one and to capture whether anyone else thinks its worth doing. With enough interest, the poll might be granted, or it might not.
I don't own a 981 but as it is the present and the future of the Boxster & Cayman, as a Porsche fan I do have a lot of interest in the car. A few of us were just commenting on the fact that until the car has been around a bit longer, the number of PCGB members on the forum owning a 981 is relatively low. That community is then diluted in half by being spread across the Boxster and Cayman registers. Makes good sense that the 986/987 has separate registers for Boxster and Cayman as the cars came about at much different times and then there's no 986 Cayman etc. etc.
However the 981 Boxster/Cayman have been pretty much launched together and aside from discussions about open air driving, much of the discussion topics will be common. So is there a benefit in helping the relatively small 981 community get together by having a joint 981 Boxster/Cayman register? E.g. a discussion on 20" tyre availability hardly needs segregation into whether you have a roadster or coupe. The suggestion would be for a 981 Boxster/Cayman Register whilst the current separate Boxster and Cayman registers continue to exist for 986/987 Boxster and 987 Cayman.
Also, with the older cars there's a range of discussions from DIY maintenance to problem solving to upgrades to used car buying tips etc. Whereas, much newer cars bring about discussions around new car experiences, new design quirks, understanding new features etc. (as well as common discussion topics that occur with both older and newer models of course).
What say you? Is it worth having a poll to see if club members would see value in a joint 981 Boxster/Cayman register?
