Each episode will feature one of the following: Tech Talk, our conversations with the experts in automotive engineering.

Mike Brewer! There are some people that when you meet them, you either are impressed at their authenticity and how closely the on-screen persona matches the person you meet, or you feel a bit let down that it's an act. Well that's my take anyway. Of course there's a little turning it up to 11, but the man I've gotten to know over the past couple of…

Frank is back! It's been a while since Frank Cassidy has been on the pod. As I've said to him, our episode together is one of the ones that people mention to me most. Likewise, it's been an admission of Frank's that he enjoyed our chat more than any other "interview". Quotes because I try hard to avoid being an interviewer. Last time we caught up, …

Renngineering LIVE! This latest episode was shot at Porsche Club Great Britain where in front a studio audience, myself and two other fairly knowledgeable owners break down our approach to our cars. We start off with Kai who owns a 2.0 base model 718 Cayman and went for a big power approach. For the 987 we've got Simon who competes in sprint events…

What was it like to install the Gold Leaf Performance 4RS intake on a 981? I didn't have a great deal of choice last week. I wore the same scruffy garage clothes for days on end, bounced from day job to the Renngineering Cayman build, and back again. I set myself the target of collecting and fitting the beautifully designed and made GT4 RS style in…

Your Porsche Stories is BACK! I love these episodes. They don't happen as frequently as I would like (massive hint there) so if you have a really cool Porsche or there's a great family story behind it, or perhaps the car itself has a really great backstory - I want to hear from you. Drop me a DM or email and we'll find some time. Every now and agai…

Finally... FINALLY... The Tuthill Episode! We're back with a new season, and I wanted to kick this one off with a big bang. What's a bigger bang than a rally driving legend that is just crazy enough to build an 11000rpm aircooled 911, run an ice driving event and has time left over to build a modern take on the Porsche GT1, the Tuthill GT ONE. More…

Mick jumps back on the good ship Renngineering. It's always fun us two getting together to rattle through what's going on in our lives but when Porsche release a do not drive statement just in time for a Waffle, it was always going to be good. We also gave our thoughts on the GT3 992.2 and the 911 Carrera T. A cabrio... really?! I hope you're all d…

Picture this... you've found a car that sounds like a scam, but it's a Singer style shell, sat at Tuthill Porsche. It's reasonable money but you're taking it on, basically on trust. You then don't want to build a Singer tribute and go about building something yourself. That's what Paul Leyton did with this 911! Some people have a natural way about …

A big personality from a big man! Some episodes you listen back to and find yourself smiling a big dumb smile. That's what this episode did. Partly because it was so useful for me to learn about air-cooled Porsche engines, or at least start that journey but also because he's such a good laugh to be around. You'll hear us talk about Chris and his da…

The comeback kid What a strange couple of weeks! With an episode that was difficult to record, difficult to edit, and difficult to put out, you couldn't make up the u-turn that came after. With that pause and reflection in the bank, and the need to buy a new daily runabout, particularly for the winter, it was looking more and more like buying a VX2…

The honest episode. I remember listening to Porsche Cooled with Michael Bath just before Renngineering started and hearing him talk about being tired and it being a pretty labour intensive thing to do, putting out a podcast weekly. Blindly positive, I thought how hard can it be!? Turns out there are two answers to that. If you have a team around yo…

This week is a break in the big episodes and I grab Mick for some good old fashioned Waffle. With absolutely no planned conversation, we surprised ourselves and found that there was quite a bit to talk through. We start by trying to figure out what Porsche is trying to achieve by forcing brands that are woven in to the brand to no longer market the…

I agonised over who to use for interior trimming. With any company I choose to use for my Outlaw Cayman, the hope is that I'll have a great experience so that when it comes to building the RENN550, I've got the relationships and trust in place to know the product at the end is what I'm looking for. I'm frustratingly difficult as a customer. I have …

Flipping heck. Sometimes you get to speak to someone and wonder what living their life must have been like. Chatting to Graeme and his wife Kerry, at Porsche in the Park 2024, allowed me (and you) to get an insight in to that. At least a little bit... From crashing his first car and putting himself firmly in hospital after passing his driving test …

Barry Hart. A name you may have heard but possibly not. Hartech... if you've owned a Porsche, or even thinking about an early model water-cooled P-car, it's highly likely you've heard the name. If you've listened for a while, you'll know that Renngineering isn't only about the tech side of Porsche ownership. It's about the people and culture that g…

We're back! Season 3 couldn't kick off without some good, old fashioned Waffle. We kick off with a general catch up and talk through the car park, given we've gatecrashed at Porsche Portsmouth, whilst Mick drops his car in for its THIRD PADM module since birth. After moaning about the one British part on the car, we get in to the chance to get back…

Well we're back! It's been a few months with essential taken out to shoot episodes and finish(ish) the Renngineering Outlaw Cayman! I hope what's in store is exciting. I can't wait to get episodes edited and out for you all to see. Don't forget to head over to YouTube and subscribe there for the full episodes with drive outs in some very very speci…

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 …
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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 [email protected] 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 …
