On this episode we cover our experiences at this year’s Luft 11.  PCAers Bob Miller and Richard Bauer come on the podcast as our special guest.  Bob, Richard, and Manny all entered their Porsches and were accepted into the show.  Vu came down as well to attend his first Luft.  Between the four of us, we’ll give you our thoughts on the show, what it was like getting set up before the show as well as the pre-show activities.  Because there was so much to cover, this is an extended episode.

On this episode, Bob Rassa, PCA member since 1967, talks about what PCA was like in the 60’s, how he joined the club and why he decided to start attending Parades. He also tells us about buying his first Porsche, meeting club founder Bill Sholar and what it was like having Ferry Porsche at the Porsche Parade. This one is a little longer than usual but it’s chock full of interesting stories. We also cover the latest Porsche news to include IMSA results for the 963 and Porsche stock slowdown.

On this episode, which was recorded prior to the announcement that Porsche was repositioning its model lineup, we discuss whether or not Porsche needs to continue to build sportscars or will the cross overs and SUV’s suffice?  We chat about the challenges Porsche leadership will be facing in the coming years and what can be done to keep the company heading in the right direction.  Plus, we review the recent PCA Open House that celebrated 70 years of PCA.  There’s also some Porsche news we cover as well as the upcoming  unStock event and a PCA video update.

On this episode, we report back on the annual PCA Treffen at Sea cruise.  This year, over 900 PCA members spent a week on the Enchanted Princess and visited four ports.  Each one had a PCA region with their Porsches, ready to welcome members as they disembarked.  Plus, we talk about how we prepare the PCA office for its annual open house that attracts over 300 members.  We also discuss the new 911 Turbo S, whether manual transmissions will continue, will the 963 continue to be a factory effort in 2026 and much more.  It’s a jam packed episode, don’t miss it.

Alwin Springer, one of the co-founder of Andial as well as the former President of Porsche Motorsports North America, joins us on the podcast again.  He regales us with stories of some of his favorite people who he worked with during his long career in racing.  We learn how he got hired at the famous Vasek Polak dealership and became head of the racing program, to how he formed Andial alongside Arnold Wagner and Dieter Inzenhofer.  He also tells us about his time as head of Porsche Motorsport in North America and how he continued to help Porsche after he retired.  75 minutes never went by so fast!

On this episode, Harley Magden joins us in studio to discuss a variety of topics around his obsession for cars. He’s primarily a Porsche guy but his collection varies widely and changes often. He and his brother started a successful window business that enabled them to purchase a car dealer that feeds their car collecting habit. It’s a fun hour of getting an inside view of someone who turned his hobby into a business.

We got to spend an hour, talking racing and history, with Gunnar Jeanette from AO Racing during Monterey Car Week. Gunnar was one of the youngest drivers to finish the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was born into a Porsche family since his dad was a mechanic and crew chief for many Porsche teams during the 935 and 962 glory years. After racing, he partnered with a friend to start AO Racing which is more famously known for the team cars, Rexy, Roxy and Spike. Gunnar’s story telling is on point and he’ll keep you glued to hear the end of each one.

We talk about what we saw and did during this year’s Monterey Car Week. Of course, it was with a focus on our favorite brand, Porsche. We cover the major auction houses and the Porsches we saw. Plus, we chat a bit about this year’s Werks Reunion, some other shows we visited and spending a day with the folks from Gunther Werks at Laguna Seca. So much happened, we hope you enjoy us sharing it with you on this week’s episode.

Peter Simpson joins us again to reveal the 996 that Porsche Owings Mills prepared for the Porsche Restoration Challenge this year. The twist with this car was that they had to make it a wide body to accommodate the Gemballa wheels that had purchased. They didn’t use C4S fender flares. Instead, they widened it themselves along with many other mods. It’s a enlightening podcast that sheds light on this popular competition among Porsche dealerships.

Most everyone dreams of owning a Porsche 904, but it’s current value makes that dream nearly impossible.  For guest Chip Reichhart, the solution was to purchase a recreation at a much lower price. Chip joins us in studio to discuss his Beck 904. He goes over why he decided to buy it, what the differences are between the replica and real one, as well as what it’s like to drive it. He also goes over the buying experience and why he decided to spec his the way he did. As an owner of several vintage Porsches, he is well versed in their driving characteristics and it’s interesting to hear his take on his Beck 904.
