Farewelling Chasing Cars

1,188 days. 1,333 news articles written. Many Youtube videos presented.

It’s sad that I’m saying goodbye to my dream job and heading off on the next adventure.

I started at www.chasingcars.com.au in September 2021 when New South Wales was still in a strict COVID-19 lockdown. I began my full-time career as a journalist from the comfort of Toowoong in Brisbane.

Eventually, I had to move all my stuff south to Sydney where the rest of the CC team worked. It was so hard moving to a new city without my family or friends around, but I somehow made it work.

I now call Sydney home and have done so for the last three years, but Queensland will always be my special place.

Here’s some highlights from my time at Chasing Cars. A huge thanks goes to the whole team for their support and guidance over the last three years. It’s been an amazing ride!

First press car: Subaru Outback

First car launch: Mini Cooper Electric, Sydney

First overseas trip: Mini/BMW trip to Munich, Germany

First long-term car loan: Kia Picanto GT

Best car launch: Hard to say, but probably BYD Shark 6

First video presented: Volkswagen Caddy California

Last video presented: Toyota LandCruiser Prado old versus new

Favourite newswriting day: Probably the new Toyota Prado launch

Most fun day at the office: Either driving the Audi RS3/Mercedes-AMG A45 S (pictured below), or driving the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Enjoy the highlight photos below!

You’ll hear more about what I’m up to in the very near future.

Thanks for tuning in,

Zak
