The Final Brew of the Year: Wrapping Up with the Legends Drivers Club

30th December 2024

As 2024 sped toward its finish line, there was still time for one final Legends Drivers Club event. Following the success of the Christmas Brew just a week earlier, I wasn’t expecting much of a turnout on this damp, misty morning. Yet, by now, I should know better than to underestimate the draw of Andre’s events. Over 80 Porsches, spanning all types and eras, created a visual and aural treat for everyone who braved the weather.

Porsches and Puddles: Legends Drivers Club toast 30 Brews at Goodwood

6th May 2024

Organising a bank holiday Monday event in the UK always carries a risk, weather-wise. While sunshine might be what we hoped for, that’s not what we got. The traditional bank holiday downpour, which at times felt biblical, didn’t put off the hardy souls who ventured out for a rather wet drive to Goodwood Motor Circuit to join André and the Legends Drivers Club.

From Classics to Customs, the Unmissable Charm of Bicester Heritages’ Spring Sunday Scramble

21st April 2024

After a long hiatus, my return to the Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage was nothing short of spectacular. Thanks to a reasonably early start, the journey around the M25 was smooth, and the sun cast a golden glow over this vibrant spring gathering. From the moment we arrived, we were presented with an eclectic variety of vehicles and the buzz of excitement, promising a morning full of automotive marvels.

356 Spring Drive: A Nostalgic Country Jaunt with Porsche’s legendary icons

27th March 2024

Forget daffodils, the scent of fresh tarmac and the rumble of a classic engine are the true harbingers of spring. The annual 356 Spring Drive route and date are locked in, and the prospect of a day spent carving through Kent and East Sussex B-roads in a pack of iconic Porsche 356s has my camera bag prepped, batteries charged, and navigation skills primed for an adventure.

10th September 2023

Goodwood Revival rekindles the circuit’s heyday from 1948 to 1966 through the sights and sounds of cars and motorcycles racing around the hallowed tarmac. Period decoration and entertainment bring the whole venue to life, and guests dress to the nines in the fashions of the day.

Brands Hatch Festival of Porsche

3rd September 2023

Early September saw the return of the popular Festival of Porsche at Brands Hatch. The festival provided another chance to celebrate all things Porsche during this 75th anniversary year of Porsche Cars and the 60th anniversary of the 911. In the true spirit of the marque, there was plenty of on-track action alongside all the static displays around the historic race circuit.

Beautiful Breakfast Brew with the Legends Drivers Club

28th August 2023

This year’s final bank holiday Monday saw the Legends Drivers Club running another of their Breakfast Brew meet-ups at the Westerham Brewery. The thought of a lovely sunny morning drive, a chance to hang out, drink coffee and talk Porsche for a few hours, was too good to pass by.

A Damp, Monochrome 2023 Festival of Speed

14th July 2023

Returning to the Festival of Speed this year was a damp disappointment. Not just because of the weather but because something didn’t sit right with me. My last visit was in 2019, which I thoroughly enjoyed, like all my previous visits. After such a break, did I expect too much from the 30th edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed?

Unleashing Porsche Passion – a Quick Road Trip to the FlatSix Show at Goodwood Motor Circuit

8th July 2023

Last year’s inaugural FlatSix Show displayed a high standard through the images and reports which surfaced after the event, making it a definite on my calendar for this year. With all good intentions, the day was blocked out in my calendar, but for some reason, I hadn’t purchased a ticket. Two weeks before, I was still sat on the fence. It took a message from a good friend about an early morning B-road jaunt down to Goodwood before I committed and bought my ticket. With the meeting place agreed upon and time set for ‘oh-my-it’s-early’, another Porsche adventure was ahead of us.

Sartorial Elegance from the Concours on Savile Row

It’s hard to believe that this spectacular display of bespoke tailoring and sensational cars is only in its second year. Run by the wonderful Magneto magazine and its partners, this two-day event oozes elegance and sophistication. There’s plenty of glitz and glamour to get rolled up in. Sited in the middle of Mayfair, during the week, the Concours on Saville Row offers a visual feast of automotive and tailored elegance.
