Lonely Porsche only works if there are events to attend! If you know of any, we’d love for you to share them so everyone in the community can join in.

All we need to add your event is a short bio, dates and location and a logo of your club. If you have a link to your original advert then add that also.

We do reserve the right to withhold events that don’t reflect the spirit and values of our Porsche community—otherwise, everything is welcome!

Porsches need driving, and drivers need friends to drive with.

Lonely Porsche was created to help everyone discover events to enjoy with their Porsche.

It’s completely free—a gift from me to you—because I’ve often been disappointed when I missed out on great events.

And yes, so has my Porsche.
