  • Like no other…

    The quality of content, linked to the network of past/present marque experts, makes for an interesting listen every time.

    From Max’s encyclopaedic knowledge of models, articles and specifications, Andy’s technical empathy and love of an air-cooled - all tied to Lee’s clear passion for the brand and access to the ‘stars’ - a great blend.

    Keep it up guys.

  • Weak

    Interesting and diverse Porsche-related episodes. But too much faffing. Too slow and too much talking about nonsense. Tried to play at x1.5 but didn’t help. Had to unsubscribe.

Why the 997 is My Best Car Ever (and How To Build A Parts Empire)
Q: What is the best car you've owned?
The 997 is described as the best car, delivering a perfect blend of modern usability and raw, analog driving feel; Barney recalls buying it as a 40th birthday gift and the thrill of driving it on open roads, underscoring its balance of performance, handling, and emotional satisfaction.
Why the 997 is My Best Car Ever (and How To Build A Parts Empire)
Q: Worst car then, Barney.
Barney discusses a 1995 Mark III Golf Cabriolet, which was his least reliable purchase, explaining it had a very heavy clutch, no power steering, frequent breakdowns, and a water-filled, poorly maintained interior that led to it being parked and eventually written off—highlighting the contrast with his passion for VW/Audi/Porsche lineage.

Q: What was the last Porsche you drove that wasn't yours?

I Bought James May’s Porsche 997.2… By Mistake!
Q: So Max, why a 997?
I reconciled with myself that the 997 was the right choice after considering various options, and the James May 997 sort of chose me through the bidding process.
