On the road again with Jake Parsons

On the road again

Enjoying your Porsche Cayenne or Macan is now more than a daily drive with the Cayenne/Macan Register of the Porsche Club of Victoria (PCV) restarting their popular weekend drives that leave the oft-used suburban roads and head onto more exciting byways on the fringes of regional Victoria.

Jack Parsons, Porsche Centre Brighton Sales Executive and member of PCV, is the Co-Captain of this register and has organised two runs already this year, with another three or four events planned. After a caffeine hit in Bundoora, the first run in March travelled north towards Arthur’s Creek, the rolling hills of Yan Yean and on to Humevale with a rest at Kinglake. From there, the hills became steeper and the corners sharper as the group headed into the Yarra Valley to lunch at the Yering Meadows Golf Club. Porsche Australia CEO Daniel Schmollinger attended this inaugural event enjoying the scenery and roads, which presented a wonderful opportunity to 'stretch the legs' of any Porsche vehicle.

In July, the register held its second event which ran from Mulgrave via the green hills of Emerald, to Gembrook and Pakenham reaching the Caldermeade Farm & Café for a coffee break before heading though Poowong, Loch, and Dalyston to lunch at the Old Dalyston Church. While these events are run by the Cayenne/Macan Register, any Porsche is welcome to attend the family-friendly run. The absolute goal is to extract the maximum smiles per mile from your Porsche on sensational roads with exquisite scenery.

Each run is organised to last a half day starting at around 9am on a Sunday, leaving plenty of time for other activities or to take advantage of an equally scenic route back home. Bookings are essential, so to book or for more information contact Jack Parsons at jake.parsons@porschebrighton.com.au •
