Let’s #SportscarTogether
If you have even only one eye on the international Porsche scene, it shouldn’t be news to you that a few short weeks ago Luftgekühlt 6 was held at the Universal Studios backlot in California. A wealth of air-cooled Porsches have bombarded my social media feed over the past few weeks since and, as I didn’t have the luxury of attending, I’ve been at a loss. Not all was lost…

TCR: A New Horizon
I don’t think I can remember the last time a new motor racing category has stirred up so much commotion in the industry or the public eye before the cars had even hit the track for a race. But for many, myself included, there was a new glimmer in the eye as the new TCR Australia Series got under way for Round 1 at the Shannons Nationals at Sydney Motorsport…

On Any Given Sunday
It’s been a long time since I last headed out to a Cars And Coffee event in Sydney. Almost two years, in fact, so it was only natural for me to be a little excited to see some cars that would normally be hidden away in garages for most of the year. I mentioned to a friend in the days leading up to Cars And Coffee at The Newport that…

PCNSW Concours d’Elegance 2018
I’m slowly becoming a Porsche guy. I don’t even know why. Maybe it’s their motorsport heritage. Maybe it’s the timeless design. Maybe it’s the sound of those aircooled boxer engines. Whatever it is, I’ve been drawn more and more to the brand over the past few years. So much so that when I saw the details of the Porsche Club of NSW’s annual concours d’elegance pop up on my social…

Sydney SuperNight 300 2018
It’s been a long while since there’s been a night race on the Supercars calendar – I don’t remember one in the 18 years since I’ve been following the sport. I guess it’s a last-ditch effort to appeal to a new audience and increase viewership – and patronage – for Sydney races given the move of the finale up to Newcastle and the waning crowds at Sydney Motorsport Park. It…

An Afternoon at Mt Tomah
We’re pretty lucky here in Sydney. Sure, the condition of our roads are horrendous and the traffic situation doesn’t look like it’ll improve any time soon, but on the outskirts of the city lies some truly picturesque scenery and awesome roads that lead up to them. A little while ago I headed out to Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens along with some friends and the University of Sydney Car Club. It…

Cars and Caffeine at Meguiar’s HQ
“Another cars and coffee event?” I say as I pack my camera bag in preparation for what seems like the fifth car meet featuring coffee this year. I mean, at the end of the day it doesn’t change the heart of the show – save a gang of Porsches or fixed-gear cyclists appearing – though I wonder if there really is any allure to the coffee at all at these…

Supercars Test Day 2018
I love test days. Especially when I can take a few hours away from my 9-to-5 to drive 15 minutes down the road and check it out. I’ve been to all of the Supercars Test Days in Sydney since the inaugural event in 2011, but this one was a little more special than before: it was the first time the public could get a glimpse of the ZB Commodore (really…

Muscle Car Masters 2017
Given my blog has featured little to no muscle car coverage thus far, one would be hard pressed to believe that – much like most kids growing up who know what “Mustang” is not long after “Ferrari” – this slice of car culture once had my undivided attention. Though my interests have largely moved on since then, I couldn’t say no to a relaxed October weekend reliving my childhood by…

JDMYARD x CHRONICLES Mega Meet 2017
After a late night post World Time Attack Challenge, I had another drive out to Western Sydney in the afternoon for Part 2 of a Japanese car-filled weekend. I’ve only been to JDMYard once before; located at the edge of a quiet industrial park, it was the perfect location for what seemed like a ‘secret’ FF-style car meet (not that I’ve experienced anything like that before).
