  • 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.

Q: Worst car then, Barney.
