Goodbye 2021, hello 2022. In this final episode of the year, I'm joined by my good friend and fellow Porsche YouTuber, Jay Read. Today we're talking about how our Porsche journeys have taken a few surprising turns this year and what next year has in store for our channels and the content we're planning... from Jay's newly acquired 986 Boxster, the goodbye to my 991 and renewed focus on my 996 Carrera project car, to Rocky Mountain road trips and returning to Tail of the Dragon... we have a lot of fun in this one. 

As ever, thanks so much for supporting AutoAmateur with your downloads, likes, comments and follows. Everything, and everyone, is wholeheartedly appreciated. Wishing you all a very merry time over the holiday season and all the very best for the New Year. Cheers! 

FINALLY someone managed to get Nick Murray on a podcast and I'm happy to announce that it was Jay Read and I. In this episode I take an unbelievable amount of sh*t from my friends Murray and Read, two self-confessed "Porsche a**holes" (their words, not mine... but yeah, accurate). In this episode we're slamming my mods, slamming my taste in colors, talking about the 2025 electric 718 Cayman / Boxster and a load of other stuff that only fellow Porsche a-holes really care about. So what are you waiting for?! Join us!! ;-)

In this episode I'm joined by not just one but two special guests - Andy of Last Rasp and Danial of Jet Fuel Only. Three Porsche nuts having some end of the week banter before the weekend arrives. In this episode we're catching up on the experiences at had in Indianapolis Indiana recently at both the 7th occurrence of the Lüft Porsche event and the #PorscheTogetherFest the very next day at the world famous Indianapolis Motorsport Speedway. We're also talking about the very exciting announcement that just recently came out from Porsche, the concept 'Mission R' car - a crazy powerful, crazy fast fully electric racing car that will give the likes of the GT3 RS and GT3 RS a good run for their money. Well, let me tell you, we're triple trouble ya'll. We're gonna bring you up to speed, so check it out!!

Should I be putting more emphasis on my 10-year wedding anniversary that my wife and I actually celebrating today (Aug 27th 2011-21!!!) or 5-years of making AutoAmateur videos? Hmm... wife or Porsches... tough choice. Haha. In this episode we absolutely do start off with a HUGE shoutout to my lovely wife Ruthie before getting into Porsches and AutoAmateur. Keep your eyes open for a celebratory YouTube video in the works too... Tune in, kick back and enjoy!! 

I'm little late publishing this week's podcast, but at least here in the US mid-west I can still claim that it's Friday, just! In this episode I'm back with Atlanta based Andrew Gladden of 'Nine Eleven South' from Instagram and YouTube. We're talking about 911 mods, specifically a run down of the cracking number that Andrew has finished on his 991 this year. We're talking TechArt aerokits, lowering springs, DSC controllers, painted brake calipers, rear bumper upgrades and MORE. Andrew has also recently been putting out a great video series called 'OG Spec' Garage Build where he has been transforming his aging detached garage into the dream spot for his 911. We also talk about the upcoming Luft 7 event in Indianapolis that we're both attending in September. Tune in, kick back and check it out! 

James and Andy back with some Porsche banter on a Friday afternoon. What better way to head into the weekend?! In this episode we're talking about what we're seeing going on in the Porsche market and talking about what the future might hold for those looking to get into their first P-car. We also talk about a 911-R that's currently on offer for a cool $500k and other unicorns available on the market at the moment such as some of the 991.2 GT3 Touring models. Finally updates about several car events in the US that James will be attending such as Lüft 7 and a fall tour of the Tail of the Dragon. Tune in, kick back and enjoy! 

Another episode and I'm joined with Andy from Last Rasp for some good old Porsche banter! In this episode (after some random celebrity stories) we get into Andy's recent jobs on his 964, plans for his 991 (and its wonky deck lid emblem) and we talk about my latest series of 991 mods. Tune in, kick back and enjoy! 

In this episode, and new podcast season season opener,  I'm back with Jay Read for some Porsche banter. We're about 11 weeks away from our return trip to the Smoky Mountains and the world famous 'Tail of the Dragon' driver's road of roads. We get into what people can expect from this next trip to the Tail as well as talking about some exciting mods and videos that are in the pipeline from Jay's channel. Tune in, kick back and enjoy!

In this last episode of season 5 of this podcast, we're talking about driving. Did you know that people driving their cars around traffic cones in over-sized carparks is a national sport? A worldwide phenomena? It's called Autocross. It's pervasive in the car community, it's organized, it's competitive and it has a huge following around the world.  In this podcast I'm joined by my friend Danial at Jet Fuel Only (the Instagram and YouTube channel by the same name). Danial is an Autocross enthusiast, I'm not only an Autocross newbie I'm very skeptical of the entire concept. Is it fast enough to be fun? Is it challenging enough to warrant a full day of my time and the price of admission?  Let's listen to both perspectives. Tune in, kick back and let me know what YOU think!
