Better Late Than Never
All of our lives are busy. And among our busy lives we prioritise the things that matter the most to us, and all of priorities are different. Throughout 2023, I came to the realisation that time is finite, and that my priorities were changing. I don’t love using the pandemic as a mark point for my life, but thinking about it, I can definitely say there’s a distinct difference…

Another Cold Start
On one of the coldest Sydney days I’ve felt in a long time, came the largest turnout of Porsches I’ve witnessed at a local event. Almost 150 in fact, and almost all of them the 911 silhouette. Turns out bone-chilling temperatures (for Sydney, anyway) slow no diehard enthusiast. I normally favour a mixed bag of P-cars to focus on on a Sunday morning, but this time I was preoccupied…

One and the Same
I think only Porsche 911 owners and enthusiasts can edge out those of Mazda MX-5 disposition in outright commitment to the platform and to the culture that surrounds it. Some might crucify me for making that comparison, but hear me out. They both share an obsession with the simple pleasures of driving, they both share similar philosophies in tuning their platforms, and I don’t know who else would collectively get…

Rainy Day, Let’s Play
After what seems like the last 3 months that the east coast of Australia has been hit with un-ending rainfall, and a few events cancelled because of it, it was relieving to be able to look forward to another Porsche-specific gathering at Waterview Bicentennial Park courtesy of Autohaus Hamilton. It was mostly 911s spread across the small parking area with a sprinkling of 968 and 718 (and a sneaky coupe…

Breakfast at Ferdinand’s
Remember when I mentioned that you never know what you’re going to see at a Porsche meet? Well colour me awestruck because that’s exactly how I (and most likely eveyone else) felt at the last Cars & Coffee at Waterview by Autohaus Hamilton. I’m sure the header photo of this blog post gives it all away, but I’ll leave you to scroll through to the photos of the majestic…

A Cold Start but a Smooth Idle
I think I’ve been to more Porsche meets and events over the last few years than any other kind; so much so that it now feels like very familiar territory. Before that I didn’t care for the brand much more than I do, really, any other sports car brand. Granted, I’m still learning about the cars, the company and their history so there are always new things to see, but…

Early Morning Porsche
Early mornings are great, especially for us car people: it’s quiet, relaxed, there’s seldom another soul on the road. And because most would rather be tucked tightly in bed at 6:30am on Sunday, it also means only the most dedicated are out to enjoy it. It hasn’t been that long since my last Porsche foray, but once again I headed out at sunrise with the expectation that it would be…

Dem Trinker kommt der Durst
I like to believe I’m on the minimalist side of life moreso than the opposite. Social media has been a great tool for the last decade or so, but I’m hearing of more people who have ditched them all and haven’t looked back. While I’ve thought about doing the same, there is one thing preventing me from going cold turkey: social media continues to allow me to discover good information…
