The last episode of series 4 is dedicated to Porsche’s off-road SUV. Lee’s bought a Gen1 Cayenne, so the boys speak to fellow Cayenne owners and podcast patreons Iain and Darek on what it’s like to own and run one. Scott Gardner from Porsche specialists Bahnsport then gives the inside line on any mechanical gremlins to watch out for across all three Cayenne generations, before Andy takes Lee’s Cayenne out for a first drive. It's a cracking episode full of useful info on Porsche’s Cayenne SUV.

Andy & Lee are joined by PJ Gibbons, the brains behind an awesome show that was held a few weeks ago on a golf course in Hampshire. It’s an unlikely place to allow a load of oil dropping air-cooled cars to park up for the day, so PJ lets us know what it was like to host the event. He also tells us all about his 356 fascination and how he got round to owning one, plus there’s an amazing story of how his family started Autotrader in the 1970s from the office of their orange Morris Marina!

Richie Payne joins the boys to talk about his amazing behind-the-scenes role at Porsche GB, which sees him work with some of the very finest Porsche machinery and has culminated in a Guinness world record involving a Cayenne Turbo S and a 285-tonne Airbus A380!

Away from his day job, Richie is responsible for one of the UK’s coolest 964 restomod projects, having reinvented his 1991 C2 with exquisite stance and an eye-catching colour change. Expect a fascinating chat encompassing everything from OEM excellence to 911 ‘outlaw’ counter-culture, via the inner sanctum of Porsche PR and Richie’s Milestone71 family business.

The boys debrief from the glory of a road trip to attend a double header of Porsche events – their first of the year – where a game was concocted to decide the best and worst of what they saw. Andy has revealed a striking new look to his 993, and there’s special praise for the Lamborghini Urus and people called Nigel. 

Warning: this admittedly hilarious episode (we enjoyed it anyway!) is slightly more blue than usual, so listener discretion is advised.
