Episode #30 Your Porsche Stories | From a 964 to a 997.1, being older and still a petrolhead!

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 Talk with Hartech, that if you have tickets, you can come and watch it all happen. If you have questions you want me to ask, send those over and I'll do my best to make sure we get through some of them! I also talk about some of the feathers being ruffled in the U.K. Porsche scene and wonder whether that's a global thing or just part of growth of the brand over here on our little island. Finally, I share a few more details about my April road trip to the Nurburgring. That's going to be this years feature so stay tuned for more of that. In the meantime, you've got 29 previous episodes of the podcast to binge on, and plenty over on YouTube. Just don't forget to like, subscribe and comment. I answer every single one.

Episode #29 Your Porsche Stories | Ross from New Zealand and his 1972 911T Restomod

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 different. The experiences in building a car. Whether it's a group project or something of a solo effort. Whether it's all out nut and bolt or like my good friend Ajmal, a rolling restoration. The introduction also picks up on Goldleaf Performance and their GT4RS side intake kit that's just been launched, I need. Body parts are now for sale. 50p and a spleen is yours. I digress. Ross was a great chap to talk to. His car amazing and it was a total pleasure. If you are reading this and would like to be on the podcast/channel, you absolutely can. It doesn't matter what Porsche you own. If you're excited about, I will be too. The details to get hold of me are below. I'll be back next week with another episode. Until then... thank you. Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. You can find Renngineering at @renngineeringuk on insta and @renngineering everywhere else. The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me. The quicker the channel gets monetised, the quicker the RENN550 gets built. The what??? You'll see...

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 Heritage episode in the afternoon. I say it in the podcast episode but this is uncharted territory. From here on in it's a case of excitedly trying stuff out to see what you as an audience like and want more of. Let me know. Finally stay tuned to the end for a heads up on the first Renngineering giveaway! I'll be back next week with another episode. Until then... thank you.

Episode #27 Waffle | An overwhelming response to my latest YouTube video & and rounding off 2023

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 (nor would I want to) but I'm committed to being a normal, open and honest person. If that means doing an Eminem and getting in there before anyone else can, then so be it. The reality is I've had a lot of messages of support and people saying that it's helped them. In less than a day!? Other than that I pick up on some of the news out there. A Taycan (Tai-can/Tay-can?) smashing a Tesla Plaid around the ring and coming within 2 seconds of a Rimac around the Nordschliefe. Very impressive.... for a washing machine. Lastly, I talk about all the amazing people I've met and shot with during 2023. Some of that content is out. Some is coming out soon. I'll be back next week with another episode. Until then... thank you. Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. You can find Renngineering at @renngineeringuk on insta and @renngineering everywhere else.

Episode #26 Waffle | Mick @GT4_Winchester and Nathan from Alpine F1 join for a good old pre-Christmas Waffle

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 kindly joined to talk about his motorsport career, all the way through to Formula 1. We headed down to the local pub for a properly overdue Waffle. If you enjoy that sort of content then this is a proper Christmas treat! If you want to hear more then you'll just have to listen to the episode. If you're a video person, a TOTALLY different episode is available on YouTube right now! Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. You can find Renngineering at @renngineeringuk on insta and @renngineering everywhere else. The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me. The quicker the channel gets monetised, the quicker the RENN550 gets built. The what??? You'll see...

Episode #25 Tech Talk | RPM Technik on Manthey Racing, 959 restoration and customer relationships

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 business. Not only that but more often than not, those business relationships translate in to friendships. RPM Technik are class leading with this. Many of the P-Cars being sold, have been through their hands two, three or even four times. What I didn't grasp before I arrived at RPM is the scale of the operation. I knew about the Manthey Racing dealer element and the track prep, but it took until I edited this video to recall how broad they go. You want to build a cup car race engine? Sure. You have a dry stored 959 that needs recommissioning? Of course. You want to purchase an 18 month GT2 RS? No problem. If you want to hear more then you'll just have to listen to the episode. If you're a video person, a slightly different episode is available on YouTube right now! Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. Would you go for a Manthey upgrade? What would you ask RPM Technik to restore for you? What do you want to see next when I go back? A test drive with Tim Harvey? You can find RPM Technik at: www.rpmtechnik.co.uk +44 (0)1296 663 824 info@rpmtechnik.co.uk @rpmtechnik on instagram, all podcast streaming service and on YouTube. The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me. The quicker the channel gets monetised, the quicker the RENN550 gets built. The what??? You'll see...

Episode #24 Your Porsche Stories | Alex Nash's Porsche 356a restoration is a MASTERPIECE!!!

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 earlier in the year, during the first ever Renngineering Cars & Coffee event at Winchester Coffee Roasters. If you're a YouTube person, a video episode is available on YouTube right now with the audio on all streaming services. Still with the main content but with added Waffle. Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. Would you restore a 356? What colour and trim would you go for? All that work and tour it? You can find Alex at: @alexjnash @pas_177 The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me. The quicker the channel gets monetised, the quicker the RENN550 gets built.

Episode #23 Heritage | A drug baron's Porsche and the history of Autofarm

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 we look back at Autofarm's brand, the values they hold dear to them and how the company's founder taught Mikey everything he knows; and some things he shouldn't! A project car of theirs came to my attention some time ago as I'd heard this crazy story of a company restoring a Columbian drug lords p-car. It's hard to believe but it's true. If you want to hear more then you'll just have to listen to the episode. If you're a video person, a slightly longer episode is available on all the channel. Let me know what you think about this episode and the series so far. Would you buy a drug baron's car? What would you expect to find? What car of Autofarm's have you seen and loved? Did you see them at one of the Boxengasse events? You can find Autofarm at: www.autofarm.co.uk 01865 331234 @autofarm The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me.

Episode #22 Waffle | Mike Champion Engineering blows my ears & Richard Tuthill blows my mind

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. Richard Tuthill is a rally driver. He's a car builder. Mate of Chris Harris's and produces some of the worlds best modified Porsche cars. There's a healthy middle slice of the Venn diagram with these two people though. I'm not talking about the fact they both are incredibly knowledgeable about the cars. It's the passion that exists still, despite being involved in the industry for decades. That comes across with both of the conversations you're about to hear. You can find Mike Champion on Insta @mceporsche and Tuthill @tuthillporsche If you’re a podcast kind of person, a slightly different episode is on all good podcast streaming services and on YouTube as a podcast, still with the main content but with some added Waffle 🧇 Let me know what you think of the episode and those likes, follows, tags and shares make a massive difference both in terms of motivation for me, but to the algorithms as well.

Episode #21 Renn Builds | Magnus Walker's STR2, vintage Porsche pics on eBay and buying back my old Cayman

Esplicito

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 about the Magnus Walker STR2 that made its way across the pond a few years ago and is now going up for sale here in Blighty! Fingers crossed it stays around down south. Finally I managed to stumble on a photographers dump of relic originals on eBay. Dozens of them, with some of the best and most iconic P-cars you'll ever see. If you’re a podcast kind of person, a slightly different episode is on all good podcast streaming services and on YouTube as a podcast, still with the main content but with some added Waffle 🧇 Let me know what you think of the episode and those likes, follows, tags and shares make a massive difference both in terms of motivation for me, but to the algorithms as well.
