Porsche Talk X Curb & Canyon
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Well, it’s finally happened, the crossing of the streams (no, not those streams Marc!). Marc and Ajmal are joined by the Curb and Canyon crew of Andy and James.
Even though it all starts with a Whole Lotta Lovin' it’s a proper grump fest! Jeeps, Porsches, Lotus Carltons, bum coolers…nothing is off the agenda (although Ajmal wishes Cayennes were off the agenda, forever!)
Andy misses his GT4 and James says he once fitted in a small hatchback, the revelations just keep coming!
James and Marc are going to meet up at Rennsport Reunion and probably be grumpy together there as well!
Reach out to the boys, they'd love to hear from you.

FULL EPISODE THIS TIME.
Sorry for previously publishing only the first 4 minutes of the podcast. Tech glitch from me. Thanks for your tolerance, and back to the show.
It’s the summer and Porsche Talk is back after yet another mini break from podcasting! Ajmal has huge news about his garage build and his 996, Marc is pondering controversial changes in his garage and there’s a discussion about the Porsche parts salad called the ST.
Ajmal has been on holiday to Italy and Marc is preparing for his US road trip.
There’s also the usual arguing, ranting and outrage.

Porsche talk with Giles from Bremont Watches
Thursday Jul 20, 2023
Thursday Jul 20, 2023
The guys are mega excited to welcome Giles English onto the podcast, the founder (with his brother Nick) of Bremont Watches! What a story he has to tell of daring and adventure involving classic cars, road trips, airplanes and, of course, watches. This episode deserves a second part as there just wasn’t enough time to fit everything in!

Porsche Talk Podcast News.
What’s happening with Porsche values? A short review of auction results, along with my 2 cents on Goodwood FOS. Sorry I couldn’t make it there personally, but the news about a day off due to weather sounded like a typical British Summer!
Ajmal will give us his opinion at our next full episode.
Let us know what you think.

Porsche Talk Start Me Back Up!
Saturday Jul 15, 2023
Saturday Jul 15, 2023
The Porsche Talk podcast returns after a short hiatus and its car troubles galore! Marc’s brand new family wagon has given up the ghost, Ajmal’s 996 still has bits falling off it (but that’s not going to stop it being used!).
The topics range from the Singer DLS Turbo to the 357 Speedster via the return of the Honey Badger. There’s real danger of this episode actually being about Porsches…and music, so much talk about music!

Porsche Talk and the Power of Love
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Marc is finally able to process his amazing weekend at Le Mans and take in what happened…and he’s already planning how he can go back! The guys discuss why Endurance racing isn’t as popular as Formula 1 and what a WEC Drive To Survive would look like. Ajmal has a catalogue of disasters with his 996 but is planning on doing some parts shopping for his 912. He is also excited about the first phase of his garage build (assuming there are no last minute catastrophes!). In other news, Marc considers a surprising addition to his garage.

Porsche’s First Le Mans Winner - 356SL
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
With Marc recently returned from Le Mans, this show stays on theme. The boys meet Cameron Healy, the owner of the Number 46 356SL that won its class at Le Mans in 1951.
Cameron shares the amazing story of this car, how it entered his life, and the journey of one of Porsche's most important factory race cars, from discovery through restoration, and returning to Circuit de la Sarthe.
This is a great story, and please share it with your friends and family.
This journey has been well documented, and published in an amazing coffee table book, which you can check out here: https://www.daltonwatson.com/46-The-Birth-of-Porsche-Motorsport-p/forty-six-publishers-ed.htm
Dwight Knowlton from Carpe Viam also put together a graphic novel on number 46, which can be purchased here: https://carpegear.com/products/destined-for-victory-hardcover?variant=42125464010974
A short film on YouTube about the car: https://youtu.be/NQCu7Ee8k6M

This is a good one, Marc is a part of the journalist posse at Le Mans 24 and loving it! That’s a long way to go for 24 hours of cars just going round and round and round and round…except…the heavens have opened and it’s pandemonium! In the mean time, Ajmal tells us about a time he went to a public toilet…

Porsche Talk - Are any late 90’s cars actually Classics yet?
Wednesday May 31, 2023
Wednesday May 31, 2023
Talk about going down the proverbial rabbit hole! This episode starts with a casual question “is Ajmal’s 996 a proper classic yet? Actually, which other cars from that year (1998) can be considered proper classics now?”. I don’t think they got anywhere near the conclusion of that conversation.
In other news, Marc is making serious progress towards being at Le Mans this year with a, listener suggested, crowd funding page:
He also tells us about using his 356 as a daily and it catching the eye of the ladies!
