Cayman Register Members on this Forum?

Just joined the club and put a post in the new members sub section. I added the details of my car to my profile just after joining up and paying the membership, does this mean that my car will be automatically put on the register or do I need to PM someone specific?

 
Hi All,

Just joined the Club Last May 2019, with my first Porsche ever a Cayman S 987; therefore never been on a meeting, but it is my intent to be an active participant...

Cheers!

Cayman S 987 IGen.

R10-Northamptonshire-Milton Keynes

 
Hi,

The mystery email above is dead! The whole register thing isn’t particularly clear at all, any pointers?

Andrew

 
Hi Andrew,

Kevan's Club email address definitely is that given above. You could try PM-ing him on buddy or phoning him on his contact number given in Porsche Post 07733 318671.

Kevan’s address is kaput :)

I received an email from Kevan ( cayman@porscheclubgb.com ) a few days ago to which I was able to send a reply with no problems.

I’m not 100% sure whether Kevan needs to add you to the Cayman Register himself but I do know that if you edit your Forum Preferences you can select Cayman as your chosen register.

 
Hi,

New member locating in R27, Northern Ireland, Warrenpoint.

Plan to attend meetings every few months time permitting.

I'm 49 but have noticed on the various Cayman FB groups, etc. that Cayman prices are now bringing Porsche ownership within reach or younger car enthusiasts (say under 30yo) who traditionally didn't consider Porsche as being accessible. That must be changing the Porsche demographics - is it also being noticed within this Porsche Club?

 
Welcome Andy,

As you say, Caymans have become more affordable and that makes them more attractive to younger buyers. One problem is that compared with say a hot hatch, on-going maintenance and repairs can be rather expensive and you have to question whether some buyers take this into account when making the purchase and subsequently skimp on tyres, maintenance and repairs. Thankfully Porsche Independents can help to keep costs down but parts are always going to be an expense.

Enjoy your Cayman and the benefits of Club Membership.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, personally I waited until I was in a place where I could take the hit on any big maintenance costs and still enjoy the car. They are certainly worth it!

I had planned to get a 987 gen 2 but it's hard to view alot of examples from here in N. Ireland so when my mint Gen 1 appeared I couldn't resist. It's an 06 and engine number falls within the range of ones with stronger IMS bearing.

Hi Chaps, you may not know as yet that I have tended my resignation of the register and they should be selecting a volunteer to take over but as I haven't been informed and now cannot get into the club email.....

It may just be that things have moved on while I was on holiday ( a month riding a Royal Enfield Bullet around the South Island of NZ ) or that there has been an upgrade and I need to reset my password so I have emailed club office from my personal email address to get confirmation which I haven't been able to do while on holiday.

Anyone joining the register and updating their profile by using "My Profile" is automatically assigned to the register so should be on th emailing list, if they are moving from another register then the club doesn't know until they update their own profile and the register secretaries cannot do it for them.

 
Good to have you on board Mark, and look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Now that at last we have a new RS let's hope things get going in Caymanland once the restrictions are removed and we can enjoy driving our cars once again instead of just watching them collect dust.!

Hi all

I have started a separate thread just for name, model and general location, a look up table. It still leaves this thread for member / membership discussion.
