On November 30th – as a chill filled the air – 94 UCR enthusiasts plus the new president of Porsche Canada Ltd, Trevor Arthur, gathered at Markland Wood Golf Club for our year-end banquet – aka the UCR Awards Gala. This marked the largest banquet we have had since the pandemic, with everyone enjoying a glass of bubbly and hors d’oeuvres served by wait staff wondering amongst the guests, who were busy renewing friendships, rehashing the year and… Read more: UCR Annual Gala

The year is 2015. Chris Harris drops a bombshell via YouTube in the form of the Porsche 981 Cayman GT4. The internet forums go wild; Porsche has finally given the Cayman the GT treatment.  I’ve just taken delivery of my new VW Golf “R”, and am suddenly smitten with the aforementioned unobtanium. Of course, at that time, I didn’t fully understand the ‘Porsche game’ and naively went to three different Porsche dealers only to be less… Read more: A Celebration of Colour

THE 2024 CAN-AM CHALLENGE CLUB RACE took place at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (aka “CTMP” / aka Mosport) during the Civic Holiday weekend on August 2-4. The weather was picture perfect, with the hot and humid temperature feeling 38C (100F). It was a great time to race.

Fall is generally a great time to host a driving tour – the weather is often brisk but sunny and the leaves are changing which adds to the views and natural beauty we get here in Southern Ontario. Rain is a risk but that comes with the territory. The fourth edition of the Grand River North Tour took place on a Sunday morning in early October, and participants gathered at RIM Park in Waterloo for… Read more: Enjoying Grand River North

As the sun rose on Friday August 30, 23 Porsches arrived at the Tiffin Boat Launch Park in Barrie for the starting point of our Simcoe County & OPP Museum driving tour. After the safety briefing, we set off along the shores of Lake Simcoe and up into more rural roads north of Hwy 11. Our goal and first stop was the Simcoe County Regional Airport, where we enjoyed a few snacks from my frunk,… Read more: Gateway to Simcoe County

We had a great day today at the PCA UCR Cars & Coffee hosted by our friends at Keltech Performance. 50+ Porsches and their enthusiastic owners enjoyed coffee and treats while geeking out on all things that make these automobiles so special. Liam and Hilda were wonderful hosts and continue to support our club and members, many thanks. Story and Photography By David Adams

The Porsche Centre Downtown (PCDT) driving tour kicked off with an enthusiastic group of UCR members ready to embark on a unique adventure. This year’s tour started at the PCDT site right on Lakeshore, where all were treated to their fill of coffee and trays of decadent baked goods – the time lending itself raucous exchanges with familiar faces. The driving segment commenced a bit later than usual, at 10 am, due to parking logistics… Read more: PCDT Driving Tour

On a cool, crisp fall day, I set out that afternoon to pick up the freshly baked pretzels from everyone’s favourite German bakery, Dimpfelmeyer, and I brought them to PCYC for our Oktoberfest social. Our amazing Social Chairs – Sylvie Neill and Andrea Heitz – had already decorated the room while Dagmar eagerly awaited the early-bird guests at the check-in table. With German Oktoberfest music playing in the background, a pretzel in one hand and… Read more: Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi
