There was a Porsche Club of America meeting this morning in lovely, leafy Boca Raton, Florida. I would send you guys photos if I could only figure out how……🤔

2023-10-09 18:53:00 +0000 UTCNo podcast this week, I'm concerned that the Boots people abducted them when they tried to get their photos. Probably because of dodgy pictures.

2023-10-08 17:27:47 +0000 UTCWe need more Getto Boxster details..... we have heard about it for so long as finally here

2023-10-06 13:06:38 +0000 UTCNot the best sorry guys, not interested in other podcasters, this really would have suited video better

2023-10-04 23:34:06 +0000 UTCI can’t be the only one who went into this looking forward to a conversation with world renowned fashion designer and director Tom Ford……

2023-10-04 20:52:57 +0000 UTCI didn't care that much for the guest element. I prefer listening to you two than others whom I do not know.
Darren B McLellan
2023-10-04 10:19:32 +0000 UTCI liked the guest element of this, especially Andrew Frankel. Sounds like a brilliant event!
Dean Hempshall
2023-10-04 06:30:38 +0000 UTCGreat episode apologise if its been said. But was Jonny's new car briefly seen in his conversion with Tavarish. I like the rule on no guests but Andrew Frankel was great. Also despite being told never be envious of anyone by my mum. Andrews car driving experience is simply great.
Paul Smith
2023-10-03 17:38:04 +0000 UTCNot much to say other than what a cracking episode, especially towards the end chatting to Frankel three sheets to the wind 😂

2023-10-02 18:51:19 +0000 UTCLieberman has a whole Facebook page about him called " Jonny Lieberman Ruins Everything" so now he's ruined the podcast.. George Follmer was the "Featured, ie paid " driver at the local vintage races a while back. He managed to get himself banned for being a bit too "argy bargy" in the showcase Trans Am run group. The sanctioning body then had to give him a 13 race, 13 month suspension.

Ben Hanford
2023-10-02 17:01:07 +0000 UTCHaving watched Johnnys Boxster vid I can’t help thinking he’s trying to outdo Frankle in the ‘Jean Reno stunt doubles’ contest, I’ll try to screenshot two pics of them sleeping in or hear cars for a ‘separated at birth?’ Meme
Ben Hanford
2023-10-02 15:08:54 +0000 UTCI’ll be honest I gave up after about 15 minutes as the car engine sounds were drowning out Jonny and Richard.
Gordon Segar
2023-10-02 14:29:35 +0000 UTCToo much cars. Not enough toilet cubicles. Should all Rover 75 owners sign the sex offenders register? And it's a Tatra - not a Beetle or a Porsche
Anthony Daniels
2023-10-02 11:42:50 +0000 UTCThe number of times Jonny said “it hasn’t been crashed” after a few beers about his cheap boxster was excellent
Tom Green
2023-10-02 11:34:41 +0000 UTCI can’t comprehend that both of you have a 924/944 Safari blind spot.

2023-10-02 10:42:43 +0000 UTCOn the tractor side of things, Australia used a Porsche snow tractor in Antarctica, it used to be featured in the Australian Antarctic museum, but that went bust so not sure where it is now. Did some googling and found that the VW Beetle is potentially the first production car to have been used in Antarctica. http://australianalpinoversnow.blogspot.com/2014/10/anare-aad-australian-antarctic-division.html https://www.antarctica.gov.au/magazine/issue-28-june-2015/history/antarctica-1-volkswagens-in-antarctica/
Stephen Voss
2023-10-02 10:41:21 +0000 UTCThere is a Porsche tractor in Robert Lewis' car collection / private museum and it too has a massive collecting tray underneath for leakage, Next to it is a Lamborghini tractor which is equally afflicted.
Dave Smith
2023-10-02 07:03:25 +0000 UTCBest background noise for a car podcast ever.
Karl Moltrecht
2023-10-02 02:02:38 +0000 UTCThe fellow with Old Yeller that Elana mentions is Dr. Ernie Nagamatsu, and there's a connection here to that aerospace engineer 356. When fresh out of dentistry school, Ernie bought a 300SL Gullwing for five grand - at a time when he was renting an apartment and owned nothing else but one chair. He used to wander down to Balchowsky's shop at midnight and hang out, hence how he ended up with OYII. Really great dude, custodian, and makes sure the thing gets raced. If you want to cry a bunch, find a copy of Road & Track from the 1980s/90s, and look at the classifieds. 2.7RS for like $12K. Not 959s though, and like Richard, that is a childhood itch that demands to be scratched.

2023-10-02 01:41:13 +0000 UTCI thought it really added to the atmosphere. Great episode!

2023-10-01 23:05:19 +0000 UTCSlight cold plus shouting to be heard over the sound of racing cars equals croaky. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2023-10-01 23:03:07 +0000 UTCWe’d have loved a lot more time with Elana. She’s great.
Smith and Sniff
2023-10-01 23:01:44 +0000 UTCThe FOMO is strong right now! Was due to head over there from Florida and you're only making me wish I booked the time off. Interestingly, you were stood next to a couple of friends as the Patrick Dempsey car was unveiled in the Heuer booth. I would have lost my shit at seeing you too far more than I would have by seeing McDreamy 😂.

2023-10-01 22:30:06 +0000 UTCHa - it really is ENORMOUS NOISE!
Alex Packer
2023-10-01 22:20:25 +0000 UTCToo bad you didn’t have more time with Elana, she’s great, a proper car nerd.
Ed Nicholson
2023-10-01 22:17:40 +0000 UTCGreat episode, despite the enormous noise!
Lisa Monsterken
2023-10-01 21:30:06 +0000 UTCGreat to hear from Wookie Ford and the guests worked well on this one, despite the background noise! I barely recognised Richard's voice at the start though.
Matt Tester
2023-10-01 21:12:07 +0000 UTCLol ! Great episode. Love the stuff about Andy Green talking loudly to himself about the flying conditions. Reminds me of the joke about how you spot a pilot at a dinner party ? You don’t need to. They’ll tell you.

2023-10-01 18:50:59 +0000 UTCThe No Guest policy out the window as soon as they get Stateside…. Honestly I don’t know why I bother.
David Phillips
2023-10-01 18:49:26 +0000 UTCGreat to hear a Big O allusion! Bit shocked you didn't follow through the Jagger/Bowie 'AMERICA! ... UK!' reference though.
Peter Heamon
2023-10-01 18:33:29 +0000 UTCWow you’re spoiling us with a 100min episode!
