    Episode #45 Heritage | Duck & Whale Magazine founder - Lee Dean, and his journey to a fully immersed Porsche life

    Explicit

    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 own 911 had been a source of inspiration for my own Porsche Cayman, particularly running the Group 4 wheels. Thankfully we both managed to carve out some time, and only a few days ago grabbed a seat and toured through his life, from childhood 4 pot shitboxes with a single Recaro seat, to scaring the boss in a 997 GT2 near Bondi beach, all the way through to why owning a P-car is ESSENTIAL for any father. I hope you enjoy the episode. Your encouragement, comments and feedback really keeps me going.

  • Episode #44 Waffle | Legends Drivers Club @ Goodwood walk around, Dave the Trimmer and shooting with Wrightune

    Episode #44 Waffle | Legends Drivers Club @ Goodwood walk around, Dave the Trimmer and shooting with Wrightune

    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 terms of P-Cars. Also I cover plans for my Outlaw Cayman, and give a run down of the immediate plans, which included dropping the car to Dave the Trimmer in Bedford, for the most nerve wracking part of this build so far. You can try things out with relatively low risk, knowing you can remove something and go, either back to standard or try again. When it's a complicated, expert needed thing like interior trimming, that's not really possible. The nerves people. The nerves are rife! You'll be able to see for yourself at Flat 6 show later in the year, whether I nailed it or not. I also talk about the shoot that took place on Saturday, with aircooled engine building legends, Wrightune. Chris Wright gave me a massive man-hug at the end of the shoot, so it's fair to see we got on like.a house on fire. Problem is it looked like Rocky fighting Hulk Hogan (Thunderlips) in Rocky 3. Chris is 6'5" and I... well, I'm not. Finally, it's a good chance to introduce next weeks' special guest. Lee Dean, from the beautifully designed Duck and Whale magazine. I've wanted to speak to Lee for as long as I've owned a Porsche, so it'll be brilliant to hear his passion brought to life. I hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Episode #43 Waffle | FULL road trip review | Belgium / Nurburgring / Porsche Museum / Reims / Rouen F1 Circuit

    Episode #43 Waffle | FULL road trip review | Belgium / Nurburgring / Porsche Museum / Reims / Rouen F1 Circuit

    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-roll Roger, and to the guys, David and Martin from Goldleaf Performance. Last year and doing it completely solo was fun but it was a really fantastic experience having great people to enjoy it with. So the road trip covers: Bastogne and the fox holes of the Battle of the Bulge Four days at the Nurburgring The Porsche Museum at Stuttgart Reims Gueux Rouen F1 circuit and hunting for the last remaining pieces of Porsche's only Formula 1 win. I hope you enjoy the episode. Your encouragement, comments and feedback really keeps me going.

  • Episode #42 Waffle | Live from the European road trip!

    Episode #42 Waffle | Live from the European road trip!

    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 road trip, and I give a sneaky peak in to one of the odd things that happened just that day. I'm definitely flagging though and ten points if you noticed the continuity error of saying episode 44 when it is actually 42. I'm sure no one will notice though :) The full trip breakdown is coming next week but don't forget to head to insta for all the update posts along the way. I hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Episode #41 Waffle | When modifying goes wrong! a Pre-Nurburgring trip special!

    Episode #41 Waffle | When modifying goes wrong! a Pre-Nurburgring trip special!

    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 documenting the whole trip as you can imagine but it makes sense to walk you through what the trip has shaped up to be. A mix of Band of Brothers tour and petrolhead heaven. I'm actually writing this whilst episode 3 is on... I can't wait to get on the road now. I've got the nervous jitters. That feeling in your stomach that is a mix of excitement and nerves, that only comes when an adventure is about to start. I really hope you'll join me on the trip. I hope you enjoy the episode.
