Well after a short recess, Mick and I are back to talk about all things 992.2. But, before we do it wouldn't be a Waffle (trademark never going to be applied for) without a catch up. With Mick recovering from some kind of lurgy, I take a little pressure of him and chat through how I feel about the interior work on the Outlaw Cayman now I've had it …

He's back. You didn't ask for him and you got him anyway! Mick returns to the podcast to prop me up and review everything that's going on in the world of Porsche. We had intended on talking about the 992.2 launch, but in true Waffle (R) style, we failed miserably and ended up bantering with each other. We did, however, work through Kalmar Porsche a…

This week I'm joined by Duck & Whale Magazine, founder, editor and Porsche brand low key icon - Lee Dean. Lee is a bit of an enigma. You can tell from watching the content on YouTube, that he's a deep thinker and the passion for cars, but particularly the Porsche brand, runs through him. I had been wanting to chat to him for some time. In fact, his…

This week covers a jam packed U,K. bank holiday weekend. The bulk of the episode looks at a review of the Legends Drivers Club event at the iconic Goodwood circuit. Considering how poor the weather was, some absolutely amazing cars came out, both classic and modern. That sums up the LDC events... inclusive. Inclusive in terms of people, and in term…

What a fun thing to do... To sit down and replay a road trip. Reflect on the high's and low's (there were both). To talk about what I learned from the Monaco/Route Napoleon/Col de Turini/Col de la Bonette and apply some of that to this year. You'll have to listen to find out if I managed to do it "better". A big big shoutout to Nathan, to Joe and B…

It's hard shooting a road trip, being in the moment and then getting a podcast episode recorded, edited and out. So it's a couple of days later than planned but it's here! After five days on the road, I sat down with a good mate of mine and we talked about the trip so far, his Porsche experience and being mates for 25 years. It's been a fascinating…

This week's episode comes a day late! The unintended consequence of locking your Mac, mic, storage devices etc in the trunk/boot of your car and then BRICK the car!! Just days before the start of a massive road trip. I believe the phrase is "sub-optimal". So this episode picks up that story and talks about the prep ahead of that trip. I'll be docum…

I personally enjoy shooting Tech Talk episodes the most! They're all special but as an engineer, the opportunity to be inquisitive, ask seemingly dumb questions and have an expert teach me (and you) about what it takes to be an expert, and get a proper behind the scenes... It's a real privilege to do that. This weeks Tech Talk follows on from the p…

Last week the trailer for the RENN550 was made public. Today, I break down the design details and share some of the partners involved in creating what will be one of the few truly remarkable sports cars. It's a big statement, but in a world of huge horsepower, huge tyres and excess, the RENN550 stands alone. Lightweight, appropriate power and torqu…

After what feels like years, Caffeine and Machine open their new venue in the south of England, in the rolling Hampshire countryside, to a sell-out crowd. I got there for opening day to see it for myself and get a few minutes with the previous manager and their feelings on seeing it transition for a fairly stale pub, to heaven for petrolheads. It r…

This week I pick up the buzz around the Taycan Turbo GT, along with a hybrid 911 and what that means. Gunther Werks, still finding a way to develop the 993 platform which blows my mind after all this time. There's also waffle around racing a Porsche Spyder RS against an AMG SL63 and how weird that match up is! I also talk about the exciting possibi…

James Lee from Outlaw Gear smiles, a lot! It's infectious and I realised why when I met him in person at Boxengasse 2023. Surrounded by Porsche fans, in a stunning location just outside of the Cotswolds, and with a kaleidoscope of colour parked all around. When I stopped to check myself, I realised I had the same goofy smile. That's what this cultu…

Sometimes a car gains its own following. No one really knows how it happens, but the internet lights up with chatter. This 997.1 GT3 picked up its own fan club, not because of the spec or having some fancy PTS colour, but because of the miles the car has on it (currently 188000 miles). I originally met Henry, the owner, at Goodwood during the Flat6…

In this Renngineering Heritage episode, I pick up a conversation I initially had with PJ Gibbons after seeing his stunning war horse of a 356a, at a small car meet. PJ had picked a parking spot in front of some skips. When everyone else was focused on putting their car pride of place outside the front of Podium Place in Newbury, PJ knew the aesthet…

🧇 Mick is back! We managed to grab a proper chunk of time to sit and record a whole waffle! Thankfully Mick also came armed to the gills with ideas for content to talk about. I never sell myself as a Formula 1 expert but it was fun to reflect on Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari. What that means, and whether he's going to eclipse Michael Schumacher …

I'm back with another Your Porsche Stories episode this week. This time I grab some time with the ever so sociable Dan from Dan's Timeless Classics. We cover his history with engine conversions, the VW scene but really start to deep dive 996 aero kitted cars. The first water-cooled 911's and why they're so special. Dan isn't afraid of a punchy engi…

WHAT AN EPIC! Michael Lenzi. What a legend. I pride myself on being able to bring a story to life. At least I try... Michael, this weeks Your Porsche Stories guest really can sell a story arc! Michael reached out late last year and after some back and forth we managed to sit down. Now, what I hadn't told Michael is that with the time zone differenc…

This week I'm back with a new Your Porsche Stories episode with an older guy, still loving life and loving the Porsche brand. I met the chap, whose name I never managed to get, and the passion he had then and still has really came over. I also take a bit of time to update on some exciting news at Porsche in the Park where I'll be doing a LIVE Tech …

This week I'm back with a new Your Porsche Stories episode with Ross and his 1972 911T that is anything but stock. Ross emailed in to Renngineering info@renngineering.com late last year and after a little shifting around to accommodate the time difference, we managed to catch up. What's beautiful about these sessions is that they're all very differ…

As Renn Builds kicks off again on the YouTube channel, there's an opportunity to pick back up on another Your Porsche Stories episode. This time with good friend of Renngineering, Andre, of Legends Drivers Club fame. I also am able to start talking about the 2024 show season and my appearance and a LIVE Tech Talk episode in the morning and a Herita…

In this roundup of the year, I talk about how much the latest YouTube video figures have blown my mind. Doubling subscriber figures in 24 hours is humbling! It isn't without its awkwardness though. Being so transparent about mental heath in a public setting obviously brings its own anxiety. Clearly I'm not about to become Andrew Tate's best mate (n…

Welcome to a pre-Christmas Waffle episode! This weeks YouTube video was on a short episode on me building up my little VW Up! to be a little (very slow) road racer using a few choice Porsche parts! That video wasn't going to work on podcast platforms with its Timelapse's so I asked Mick who's appeared on the podcast a few times, and Nathan who kind…

In this episode, I catch up with Lydia from RPM Technik. Lydia and I got to know each other in the early days of Renngineering, and after sharing my dream, invited me to spend time with her for the day. One of the things we share a passion for is customer relationships. How to build them, how to maintain them and how they can help grow your busines…

In this Your Porsche Stories episode, after a couple of years of drooling over this fashion grey 356a, I manage to convince the owner, Alex Nash to shoot an episode so we can learn about this magnificent car. Not one to be outdone, this isn't a car that's treated like priceless art, which you'll learn as you watch the video. The episode was shot ea…

In this episode, I sit down with Mikey Wastie, Managing Director of Autofarm. If you weren't aware already, Autofarm are located on the same site as Frank Cassidy in Bicester, at Boxengasse. A huge thanks to both Jon and Mikey for shuffling people out of the way and being the most accommodating team so far for a Renngineering shoot. In the episode …

There's a gap between homebrew builds, small bespoke pro builders, the bigger outfits with full teams and one tracked minded race teams. In this episode I talk to both Mike Champion from Mike Champion Engineering who mixes it up between the bespoke pro builds and race cars with someone of a similar mindset but a bigger outfit, Richard Tuthill. Rich…

What. A. Week... At this point, I've really no idea what "going viral" means and it would definitely be a stretch to say the channel went viral, but it definitely jumped to a level I never expected. At the point of recording this episode it hit about 4000 but at the time of writing this, just a few days later, it's about 5600 views. I talk a bit ab…

Last week, on YouTube, I fumbled my words and was in utter disbelief over purchasing my first Porsche 911! What I didn't say at the time though, is that the love affair was short-lived. Let's just say "it's complicated" and needs a proper explanation. So that's what this episode is all about. Oh and by the way, it gets better. This series was shot …

This week it's a bumper content drop with the 2nd Renn Builds episode going live at 6pm GMT on the 29th October. Alongside that, and because on collecting my first Porsche 911, I was barely able to form words (head over to YouTube to laugh) I figured I'd release a Your Porsche Stories episode. This weeks episode is with someone I managed to have bu…

Episode 18 | Renn Builds | 3 years with a Porsche Cayman 981 I’m back! It’s been a few weeks and they have been hectic with shoots, so getting editing time has been tough (enough with the excuses I know). But, this week is the first Renn Builds episode which features either any personal project car of mine, and the RENN550. This episode is the orig…

Episode 17 | Your Porsche Story | The Zombieland Cayenne In this episode I have a random encounter with the owner of a Zombieland/apocolypse Gen 1 Cayenne, complete with roof test, lift kit and A/T tyres. Driving through France in July on my epic solo road trip (content coming as a Christmas Special) I barely saw any P-Cars. Then pulling in to Reim…

Episode 16 | Your Porsche Story | Home Built by Jeff In this episode I sit down and talk to Jeff of Home Built by Jeff fame. Jeff's channel has grown dramatically over the last few years and whilst he is incredibly humble, it's down to his energetic style and raw enthusiasm for trying something; anything! I'm a big fan of Jeff's which immediately c…

Episode 15! Heritage - Frank Cassidy It's fair to say that Frank Cassidy is well known in the U.K. Porsche scene. Whether it's from the outstanding annual event at Boxengasse HQ, Megaphonics, or from his own personal collection of P-Cars, whatever he does, it's carried out with the precision of a heart surgeon. Prior to my Niners Unplugged episode …

Waffle 14! Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.Arriving on Thursday seemed like a sensible thing to do after three years of being there on the main days and this year was a stroke of luck after the downpour of Friday and cancellation of Saturday. For many this will be one to forget, very sadly. That stroke of luck however, led to some really interestin…

Waffle 13! The second of the two episodes for Flat 6 at Goodwood. Barry... What can you say about him? He's a lovely guy and I really enjoy his company. It's very funny hearing him talk about cars he's never seen and has no Porsche community connection to. Everything is taken on face value with impressions. Maybe there's something in that? It's not…

Waffle 12! Finally, Flat 6 rolled around again. The wonderful Porsche event held a Goodwood race circuit, in West Sussex, not Hampshire as I incorrectly said! :D Another busy day with loads of amazing show cars, mixed with enthusiast builds, topped off with a track day. It's a hard one to beat. This is part 1 of 2 on Flat 6. This episode catches up…

Waffle 11! We're closing in on this years Flat 6 show at Goodwood circuit and it felt like time to unearth the waffle from our previous visit. There are a few Flat 6 tickets left so don't miss out. It's really a great show. A surprise guest is Henry AKA Moonmiles, and he regales us with his almost VMAX attempt on a rainy autobahn. We also talk abou…

It's also Episode 1 of Your Porsche Stories and I talk to Nic about his fully loaded Boxster S 718. f you'd like to follow Nic, you can do that over on his instagr…

In this Waffle episode, Paul considers whether the Volkswagen Beetle chassis is the right direction and whether it's just too flawed for the RENN550, 550 Spyder Evocation build on the main Renngineering YouTube channel. Also in the episode is a great case of stumbling on a beauty of a story with Alex Nash's 356A and a 550 Spyder mid restoration. Th…

In the second part of this three part series, we catch back up with Nathan now he's moved from Radical to Alpine F1. We're incredibly lucky to have someone on the "inside" giving an insight in to what it takes, what the life is like and his golden hot tip for what to do... You absolutely don't want to miss this one. f you'd like to follow Nathan, y…

In this full length waffle episode, I join Mick in his 2020 Porsche 718 GT4. The first time I've ever been in a 718 GT4, and we chew the fat as we head up to Northampton, home of the world famous Silverstone circuit. We talk about everything from saving orangoutangs to the future of battery tech and what we think will win, EV's or synthetic fuels. …

In this weeks waffle I pick up the conversation where we left off and talk more about how Chris Harris could have actually been really savvy and it might cost next to nothing to swap his GT3 for a GT4RS. I also give my thoughts on Sam Fane from Seen Through Glass's GT3 collection. I also share my thoughts on Matt Farah's "Strawberry Shortcake" Boxs…

In this episode I say "slide over to my DMs" far too often, give you all an update on my personal car, my 981 Cayman. I also talk about Chris Harris of Top Gear, EVO magazine, his YouTube channel Chris Harris on Cars. You know who Chris Harris is... What does it mean when someone in his position gets a no from a Porsche dealer? What does it mean wh…

In this, the first of the waffle episodes, I talk about mental health and how important just getting out and driving is for a petrolhead. These 10-15 minute episodes will come out fairly frequently. As part of Waffle, I'll be doing chats with other Porsche owners, and getting to hear about your Porsche Story. If you're interested in taking part, sh…

Scott from Bahnsport shares his personal story of how he came …
