Renngineering - a Porsche podcast

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 all the way through last year so you're getting the FULL story.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.Enjoy!#renngineering #podcast #youtube #porsche981 #boxster #cayman #718 #987 #porschemoment #911carrerat #porsche911 #myfirst911 #speedyellow Enjoy!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and now @renngineering on TikTok.

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 bumped in to at nearly every P-car event I've been to. Whether that's by chance, or we have the same taste in events, who knows. What I do know is that Simon Jessop is one of the nicest guys out there.His passion for photography and being able to nail the shot is just off the scale. This episode isn't about his photography though, it's about his Porsche journey and more specifically his love of 964's.Simon now has two 911's in the stable! I mean come on, who needs two 911's and still hunting for more!!? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out why and what the differences are between this car and the 911 he sold to buy it.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.Enjoy!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and @renngineering on TikTok.If you want to be on a Your Porsche Story ep, drop an email over to [email protected] or DM me on Insta.

Episode 18 | Renn Builds | 3 years with a Porsche Cayman 981I’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 origins story of how my 981 Cayman left the stable, came back and began to be modified. We pick up with it leaving and a three year look back on the Porsche 981 ownership experience. The highs and lows, costs, what I’d do differently and wrapping up on what I thought was to come.So if you head to YouTube you can watch that episode now. If you’re a podcast kind of person, a slightly different episode is right here, 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.Enjoy!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and @renngineering on TikTok.If you want to be on a Your Porsche Story ep, drop an email over to [email protected] or DM me on Insta.

Episode 17 | Your Porsche Story | The Zombieland CayenneIn 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 Reims Gueux circuit, I see this crazy Cayenne and had to chat to the guy. Turns out he was a properly nice bloke with an eclectic and large collection of cars!Not historically a Cayenne fan, you have to love the adventure spirit (jeez, I sound like Bear Grylls...) that owner Martin Kennedy has. Having never owned a Porsche before, Martin put his big boy pants on and bought one and immediately went on a road trip around Europe with his partner and son! Even after a technical hiccup just before departure!It's a shorter episode this one so enough time to grab a coffee and settle in.If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and now @renngineering on TikTok.If you want to be on a Your Porsche Story ep, drop an email over to [email protected] or DM me on Insta.

Episode 16 | Your Porsche Story | Home Built by JeffIn 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 comes across as I lose any sense of process and get straight in to the Porsche talk. On reflection that mimics Jeff's style. Do it and rework it later but learn along the way.Learning along the way is a big part of Renngineering. It's how this channels builds will progress. The main difference being that we'll contract in services where necessary as the product, the RENN550 is going to be sold after completion. Jeff builds his cars for himself though so we talk about the iterative process of trial and error. I've always been up front about the fact that whilst I love Porsche, I'm no expert.What better way to learn than to meet and chat to people that are, but bring you on the journey with me. It's a full episode and we spend around 60 minutes talking so I'd get a big mug off coffee...Jeff and I really hit it off and I think that comes over in the episode as well. When he eventually does return to the U.K. I'm hoping to catch him.Cautionary note - there are a couple of F-bombs dropped so if you're sensitive to such language I'd either give this one a miss, or brace yourself!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.Jeff is @HomeBuiltByJeff on YouTube and Instagram. Jeff also has a parts company called Porsche Part by Jeff so check that out as well.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and now @renngineering on TikTok.If you want to be on a Your Porsche Story ep, drop an email over to [email protected] or DM me on Insta.

Episode 15! Heritage - Frank CassidyIt'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 (available on the Boxengasse Niners Unplugged YouTube channel, I reached out to Frank to come to Bicester and meet with him.If you're new to Renngineering, you might have missed that there's a number of different playlists. This is the first "Heritage" episode, where you and I will learn together about what makes the brand, it's history and how it all came about.I've always been up front about the fact that whilst I love Porsche, I'm no expert. What better way to learn than to meet and chat to people that are, but bring you on the journey with me.It's a full episode and we spend around 45 minutes talking about Frank's backstory, why he loves Porsche and some myths around him.On a personal note, it felt like two old mates sat at the pub chewing the fat and that's exactly what I want from these episodes.I'm really very proud of how it's all shaping up and can't wait to share more of these with you. There are more already shot and in the bank. If there's anyone you think I should speak to, drop me a DM and I'll try to set it up.Cautionary note - there are some F-bombs dropped so if you're sensitive to such language I'd either give this one a miss, or brace yourself!Enjoy!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and now @renngineering on TikTok.Thank you so much for listening.

Waffle 14!Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.Arriving on Thursday seemed like a sensible thing to do after three years of being there on the main days and this year was a stroke of luck after the downpour of Friday and cancellation of Saturday.For many this will be one to forget, very sadly.That stroke of luck however, led to some really interesting conversations.Nic joins me again on this one and you'll hear our take on lots of the P-Car elements of the show before I get in to conversations with the following. I put my big boy pants on for this.Manthey Racing. Manthey were showing the GT4 RS and Spyder RS and it was the first opportunity for me to see Spyder in person. It didn't disappoint.Singer. Whilst it's great to hear a press release, it's also great to hear from people working at the company whose day jobs are working on the cars themselves.Porsche GB. We walked the stand and were talked through some of the finer points of the stand, plus the future of the brand.Gunther Werks. The most in-depth conversation and I came away with genuine excitement over the brand and can't wait to see the facility for myself.

Waffle 13!The second of the two episodes for Flat 6 at Goodwood.Barry... What can you say about him? He's a lovely guy and I really enjoy his company. It's very funny hearing him talk about cars he's never seen and has no Porsche community connection to. Everything is taken on face value with impressions.Maybe there's something in that?It's not all roasting cars though. We do get in to some of the real hits for both of us, including an absolutely stunning 1973 911 RS with some serious provenance.Enjoy!If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube and now @renngineering on TikTok.Thank you so much for listening.

In this Waffle episode, Paul considers whether the Volkswagen Beetle chassis is the right direction and whether it's just too flawed for the RENN550, 550 Spyder Evocation build on the main Renngineering YouTube channel.Also in the episode is a great case of stumbling on a beauty of a story with Alex Nash's 356A and a 550 Spyder mid restoration.There's a bit of what's coming up event wise, and getting a buzz over the Boxengasse shoot!

In the second part of this three part series, we catch back up with Nathan now he's moved from Radical to Alpine F1. We're incredibly lucky to have someone on the "inside" giving an insight in to what it takes, what the life is like and his golden hot tip for what to do...You absolutely don't want to miss this one.f you'd like to follow Nathan, you can do that over on his instagram @nathanjones19961911If you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available, Base, S, GTS or GT.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube.Thank you so much for listening.

In this full length waffle episode, I join Mick in his 2020 Porsche 718 GT4. The first time I've ever been in a 718 GT4, and we chew the fat as we head up to Northampton, home of the world famous Silverstone circuit.We talk about everything from saving orangoutangs to the future of battery tech and what we think will win, EV's or synthetic fuels. We also reminisce over our first proper car as Mick's son, Connor, who's soon to join the channel himself, picks up his 2018 VW Golf GTi Mk7.5 (it's a peach...).Join us as we go over all of that, then give our thoughts on our favourite cars of the event.If you'd like to support Mick and Connor and found the episode helpful, you can find them at @GT4_Winchester and @cpc_gtiIf you'd like to support the podcast, you can by heading to patreon.com/renngineering and choosing to support one of the four tiers available.We're @renngineeringuk on Instagram and @renngineering on Facebook and of course, @renngineering on YouTube.Thank you so much for listening.

In this weeks waffle I pick up the conversation where we left off and talk more about how Chris Harris could have actually been really savvy and it might cost next to nothing to swap his GT3 for a GT4RS.I also give my thoughts on Sam Fane from Seen Through Glass's GT3 collection. I also share my thoughts on Matt Farah's "Strawberry Shortcake" Boxster Spyder.Finally I wrap up on the 992.2 spy shots floating about.

In this episode I say "slide over to my DMs" far too often, give you all an update on my personal car, my 981 Cayman. I also talk about Chris Harris of Top Gear, EVO magazine, his YouTube channel Chris Harris on Cars. You know who Chris Harris is...What does it mean when someone in his position gets a no from a Porsche dealer? What does it mean when typically he hangs on to cars for the long haul and packed it off to Collecting Cars pretty quickly?I'd say slide over to my DM's and let me know but I say that about 47 times in the episode.For any adults supervising children, I use a mild swear word once. I'll try to avoid it but I'm a potty mouth in real life and sometimes the odd one sneaks in...

In this, the first of the waffle episodes, I talk about mental health and how important just getting out and driving is for a petrolhead.These 10-15 minute episodes will come out fairly frequently.As part of Waffle, I'll be doing chats with other Porsche owners, and getting to hear about your Porsche Story. If you're interested in taking part, shoot me a DM over @renngineeringuk on Insta or email [email protected] and we can put a bit of time aside. If you're in the UK that might be in person at Podium Place in Newbury. If you're elsewhere in the world, let's do a Zoom chat.I do hope you're doing well and looking forward to smashing 2023!

This episode we begin to dive in to what it takes to work in top tier motorsport. This is a three part series, beginning with Nathan and his journey from motorsport enthusiast to Formula 1 engineer.At the time of recording, you'll hear Nathan talk about how he's happy with his career at Radical. In part 2 of this series we learn how an opportunity presented itself that he just couldn't say no to. Finally, in part 3 we talk to Darren, who's working in formula motorsport for many years.Because both are incredibly busy, parts 2 and 3 are slated for shooting around Christmas when motorsport shuts down.
