Scandinavian drive celebrates passion for Porsche cars

Every year, Porsche Servicecenter Vejle, Denmark, celebrates another twelve months in business by inviting customers old and new to bring their cars from all over the country in order to participate in the largest Porsche drive in Scandinavia. From the very oldest models to the newest, Porsches gather at Vejle for a celebration of the marque like no other.

This year marked the fourth such outing and welcomed many early air-cooled cars, including a 356 Speedster, right up to the latest Porsche products. Taycans and 992-generation 911s represented the most recent of Stuttgart’s famed sports cars, but there were also plenty of Boxsters and Caymans in attendance, as well as cars from the manufacturer’s transaxle family of vehicles. Additionally, 914s, 912s and plenty of air-cooled 911s contributed to a tally of 222 cars descending upon the town, located in the southeast of the Jutland Peninsula at the head of Vejle Fjord, where the Vejle River and Grejs River valleys converge.

“Tickets for this event sell out every year,” says Sanne Saaby, Marketing Manager for MyGarage, the huge automotive business park housing Porsche Servicecenter Vejle, as well as Rolls- Royce, Tesla, Formula Automobile and other specialist workshops. “We’ve already sold a third of the available tickets for next year’s event, which will take place on Sunday September 4th, 2022,” she adds, acknowledging the success of the annual get-together of like-minded Porsche fans. “We recognise the growing popularity of what we consider will become Europe’s largest Porsche gathering, which is why we’re installing more parking space in advance of the 2022 event, which we expect to be frequented by Porsche enthusiasts from all over the EU.”

MyGarage plays host to many different car shows throughout each year and is the brainchild of Anders Kirk Johansen, whose country house in Rohden has regularly served as a venue for the region’s car shows. The idea for a dedicated complex of buildings offering dedicated show space, modern workshop facilities, meeting rooms, storage for classic cars and outdoor areas for social gatherings stemmed from increased demand from clubs for use of his home’s grounds.

“Our vision is to be the mecca of the Danish motoring world,” Saaby continues. “Nowhere else in the country will you find such a wide range of skills and unique events in one place. At its heart, MyGarage is presented by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, maintaining a sense of community. These qualities have contributed to the popularity of our Porsche events.” For further information, hop online and visit mygarage.dk.
