Porsches by the Bay is a feast for the eyes

Porsches by the Bay is an ever growing event for Porsche fans in Melbourne.

Held often early on a Sunday morning in Melbourne's Bayside area, the Stuttgart-sourced smorgasbord is hosted by Rob Raymer from RSR garage. The event rotates through a couple of different locations, but is always at one of the many beachfront sites in the area.

Cars begun to arrive from 7am just as the sun was beginning to rise, the sound of air cooled German engineering filling the car park with wonderful sounds. Owners parked up and then began to mingle and chat about recent modifications or changes that had been made.

Most headed to the local café to fill up on caffeine and to warm up as the temperature was barely in the single figures.

Once coffee had been issued & consumed, most wondered around the car park checking out the constant flow of cars. Cameras and phones were pulled out, and many photos were taken of not only owner's own cars but of their favorites, too.

The crowd was mixed from the young car spotting enthusiasts to the mature owners who had owned their pride and joy from new.

 

Some of the highlights on the day were a stunning 914, a couple of clean 930’s including Rob’s own yellow 930 with original Fuch wheels, current 911 GT3RS’s and some of their older Carerra RS siblings from the 90s.

Of particular note was one of only 1963 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Editions in graphite grey.

After a couple of hours the owners began to head off in different directions to continue on with their Sundays.

To find out when the next event is make sure you keep an eye on the RSR Facebook page.
