WHAT ARE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS AT PCW? I feel very privileged to work as part of such a close-knit team – we have very low attrition with next to no staff leaving. This means that you feel like you are working more as part of a family than just ‘coming to work’. In 2013 we maintained a Customer Service Index rating of 85% where the Porsche Australia average was 82% (This is significant in the sense that customer surveys are done externally and therefore no one feels ‘obliged’ to give us a good rating). The Service Team consistently wins or places second in the PCA annual competitions run throughout the Dealership network. This means Chris and Albert have both won a trip to attend the Formula 1 Grand Prix in the corporate box for two days for winning again in 2013. I have offered to carry their luggage or be their chaperone to acquaint them with the Melbourne nightlife! So in essence these are not just my achievements but that of the team.

The flat-six engine at full noise – you just can’t beat it!” I have been racing for 10 years, starting at the age of 20. I have been lucky enough to race internationally, competing in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, finishing in the top 10 at Porsche Rennsport and recently placing 2nd at the Inaugural Highlands GT race in New Zealand at the end of 2013. My love for Porsche started at an early age with a 993 S. My first road car and a movie dream machine, it fuelled my ever growing passion for competitive racing. Everyone races for different personal reasons, mine being the thrill and drive to win - I would race a Billy cart! I made up my mind that if I were to race, it would be with a brand I associated with quality engineering and one that I already had a strong relationship with – Porsche. TO My first step to racing was purchasing a Porsche Cayman S and joining the Porsche Club of The Porsche Path NSW. I started competing in Super Sprints and

CLUB DRIVER was crowned “Rookie of the Year”. The best of Aaron Zerefos. thing I ever did was join the Porsche Club. Their encouragement and support really started me on the right track. CUP I got my National CAMS Licence which was a big step for me and I had my first race in a Lotus Elise at Wakefield Park placing 2nd. From there I got a chance to race a Turbo at the Eastern Creek 6 Hour with (now) V8 Racer and Ex Carrera Cup driver, David Reynolds. Together we won the race. The next step in my career was getting KMS in a Porsche Cup Car. I was 22 by this stage and still competing with my Cayman S in Super Sprints through the Porsche Club NSW. It was a really important stage as I was getting the feel for the cars and the track. After that, things took off. I bought a 996 Cup Car and took to racing like a duck to water. I progressed to 997 Cup Cars and GT3 Cup Challenge and have since been offered to drive at the Bathurst 12 Hour for the last 2 years and again in 2014 racing my 997 Cup Car. More recently I have been spending a lot of time in the USA promoting and distributing Fiji Water . Having the opportunity to race over there enables me to build my racing brand Aaron Zerefos Enterprises. They have such a strong racing culture with names like James Dean and Steve McQueen still inspiring excitement. I can’t wait for the new 991 911 Cup Cars to arrive. 2014 is going to be a thrilling year for Porsche and I am grateful to be associated with the brand and enjoy being an ambassador on and off the track. You can follow my progress www.gt3cupchallenge.com.au, Twitter @AZ _FijiWater or Facebook @ Aaron Zerefos.

SOUTH PARK Eventually the road starts to drop from the ridge line and seems to fall out of the sky. As the road twists back and forth, gum trees give way to rainforest and we stop for photographs near the start of McKell Ave. The Panamera’s telepathic PDK programming lives up to its reputation and never leaves us wanting a gear change as we dart and flow through the remaining corners of Lady Wakehurst Drive. We burst out of the trees at Bald Hill overlooking Stanwell Park Beach and pass the monument honouring Lawrence Hargrave. Recognised as the father of modern aviation and the Australian inventor of the box kite; Hargrave, on November 12, 1894, linked four of his kites together at this spot, added a sling and rose 16 feet in the air to prove that man could fly. This ultimately led to the development of flying machines. Following Grand Pacific Drive right we turn left on to Stonehaven Road and are almost at our destination. As we guide Porsche’s “flying machine” through the regal gates of the Tumbling Waters Retreat we are greeted by the sublime view. The ambience of the magnificent sandstone main building combined with the high quality cuisine found at Tumbling Waters make this venue perfect for premium occasions. With canapés and champagne cocktails followed by a degustation menu, you can watch nature at play as the evening unfolds

“Thierry Molimard will ensure your private dining experience is filled with exquisite taste sensations”

The award-winning French executive chef Thierry Molimard will ensure your private dining experience is filled with exquisite taste sensations at the “Dining on the Edge” restaurant. As luxury Ocean Suite accommodation is also offered here, it is easy to relax, indulge and experience this scenically breathtaking getaway. From here your return journey can be an easy 2km drive west and a right turn onto the Princes Motorway, setting you on course for the big smoke. Alternatively a continued journey south on Grand Pacific Drive will lead you to the Sea Cliff Bridge: one of only seven off-shore parallel to coast, balanced cantilever bridges in the world. The Sea Cliff Bridge was named by 11 year old schoolgirl Makenzie Russell following a naming competition opened to local primary school students. Boasting spectacular views, it is a feature of the scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive. As the sun sets on another Porsche Centre Willoughby drive, we’ll leave it up to you to begin your own south coast adventure; remembering that all it takes is a simple turn of the key… For reservations and all other enquiries contact Tumbling Waters Retreat on 02 4294 1888 or email [email protected].
