Cayenne & Macan Register Run to Alexandra

Sunday 26th March 2023 Story

The Porsche Club of Victoria’s Cayenne/ Macan run to Alexandra was an event to remember. The run was organized by Jake Parsons, who did an excellent job of putting together a fun-filled day for Porsche enthusiasts. Along with Cayennes and Macans, there were a few Caymans and Carreras that joined in on the run, making it a diverse and exciting group of cars.

The run started from McDonald’s in Tecoma, with Bob Morgan leading the group in his Transsyberian Cayenne. Despite some lastminute changes, including a cancellation and some late arrivals, the group set off towards Warburton for a well-deserved coffee break.

After a short delay, the group resumed the run towards Alexandra, but Bob had made headway and was halfway to the final destination before the rest of the group decided to get back to the run. Helen and Rohan took the lead in their 718 Cayman. The Reefton spur was a challenging piece of track that kept all the drivers’ concentration at its peak. It was a glorious, windy stretch of road that tested the ability of the drivers and the vehicles.

The drive was excellent, with good roads and little traffic to slow us down. The sheer drops and breathtaking views kept some co-pilots distracted, but the drivers maintained their focus, enjoying the thrill of driving their Porsches on some of Victoria’s most beautiful roads.

Sadly, David and Kasia had to say goodbye to the group, as they were time-poor and needed to pick up their family by 4 pm. The rest of the group continued on to the Corner Hotel at Alexandra.

Lunch at the Corner Hotel was simple, wellprepared, and fresh, with a few bevvies and tall stories shared among the members.

Jake had arranged some fantastic prizes for the raffle draw, and everybody was a winner, thanks to the small group and an overflowing boot full of goodies from Jake.

Reza was kind enough to donate a handcarved wooden Porsche emblem, and the lucky winner was Giovanni, who was pleasantly surprised and chuffed with his score. We are all expecting this piece to see some love and care, and Giovanni has promised to share some pictures when he is finished with it.

The staff at the venue were more than happy to accommodate the members’ wishes with food and drinks, and the run concluded with some beautiful group photos outside the Corner Hotel.

Thanks to Jake for organising and being an evergracious host, and Reza and Bob for helping with lead and tail-end support throughout the run. It was yet another successful event by PCV, and everyone had a great time. Cheers!
