KAMM Manufaktur!

Sometimes episodes take months, even years to organise and shoot. Others - like this episode with KAMM founder Miklós (Miki) Kázmér, came together during a spontaneous moment where I'd finished a magazine shoot for the Renngineering Cayman S/E and knew that Miki was setting up at Boxengasse's annual Megaphonics event.

With a couple of hours gap between the end of the mag shoot for 911 and Porsche World and needing to be back at Boxengasse HQ for a Michelin pre-show meal I figured I'd try to lock in an episode recording, even if it meant using mismatched audio equipment and sitting next to a group of drunk and happy tourists.

What all that did though, was remove any sense of it being formal out of the equation and created a friendly atmosphere that I think we both enjoyed.

You let me know whether the episode is as good as I think it is....

So everything you wanted to know about the company building carbon fibre 912's - here it is... and as I normally say at the end of each intro "I'll catch you back up,,, at the end"

KAMM Manufaktur!

Some episodes are planned months, even years in advance. Others, like my conversation with KAMM founder, Miklós (Miki) Kázmér came together in a spur of the moment check in, knowing that he was setting up for @Boxengasse Megaphonics 2025 and, well I'd just finished a magazine shoot for the Renngineering Cayman!

That meant that rather than have any pro gear, it was using mismatched audio recorders and in a public place with no ability to say shhhhh!

What could have been a bit of a disaster, turned out to be one of my favourite conversations. The relaxed atmosphere and lack of planning removed the barriers that sometimes come with set up time and planning.

Miki's enthusiasm for his own cars is palpable but also his appreciation for some weird little motorcars like the ones we had around us at a hotel across from Boxengasse HQ. Hillman Imps, mk2 Golf GTi's and even a Lotus - which inevitably got my juices flowing (ewww),

It's a long one, so grab a coffee and lock in on that long drive and as I usually say "I'll catch you back up....at the end...".

The BIG catch up!

It's been a while... I know I know... the introduction says your weekly dose of Porsche culture and it's been anything other than weekly this year.

There is a reason for all that though and this episode does a round up but also gives a proper explanation as to why that is.

Despite being quiet on socials and almost as quiet on here and YouTube, it's been for a reason... Renngineering wasn't designed to just be a podcast or YouTube channel. It's always been about building the RENN550. At some point I had to sit down and figure out how to make that happen. Putting my heart and soul in to episodes was working to an extent but from a business perspective, unless you're Mat Armstrong, you're not getting paid a lot.

I'm a great designer though and it's important to keep pushing on with that. So that's what I did... focused on building the business side up, that funds everything else.

So here you go... the answer to all the questions and lots of exciting news!

Mike Brewer!

There are some people that when you meet them, you either are impressed at their authenticity and how closely the on-screen persona matches the person you meet, or you feel a bit let down that it's an act. Well that's my take anyway.

Of course there's a little turning it up to 11, but the man I've gotten to know over the past couple of years is pretty much the same guy you see on TV.

Now on that... in the YouTube video episode coming out Saturday 3rd April 2025, I put a two second clip in the intro of the first Porsche I remember Edd and Mike working on. An Irish green targa.

I must have been in my early 20's when I first saw that episode and I've seen it a few times. Never once did I think I'd be trading messages and chatting away like old friends in person. The thing I'm doing never ceases to amaze me.

So grab a megapint (thanks Johnny Depp that still cracks me up), settle in and 'old aat yer 'and!

You can find Mike at @mikebrewer One Automotive is at @oneautomotiveuk and @mikebrewermotors

Frank is back!

It's been a while since Frank Cassidy has been on the pod. As I've said to him, our episode together is one of the ones that people mention to me most. Likewise, it's been an admission of Frank's that he enjoyed our chat more than any other "interview". Quotes because I try hard to avoid being an interviewer.

Last time we caught up, Frank and I chatted about doing some episodes where it wasn't about him as a person, as we've done that, but actually our shared experiences. I suggested, based on the Niners Unplugged episode I appeared on, way back, that we do something on road trips.

If you haven't watched the Niners Unplugged episode then go do that. It's pinned to my IG grid but can be found on the Boxengasse Niners Unplugged YouTube channel.

In that episode, which generally goes well, Frank asks one of his standard questions "So tell me where you've been in the car..." insert pregnant pause as I scramble to remember even something basic. Not great.

But I did respond by immediately planning a trip. That trip was recorded and at this point has had about 20000 views on YouTube.

It didn't stop there and in the bank right now, is last year road trip. That episode will be out soon enough.

We also catch up on Megaphonics and the plans both short and long-term.

So here it is, Frank and I talking all things road trips.

Renngineering LIVE!

This latest episode was shot at Porsche Club Great Britain where in front a studio audience, myself and two other fairly knowledgeable owners break down our approach to our cars.

We start off with Kai who owns a 2.0 base model 718 Cayman and went for a big power approach. For the 987 we've got Simon who competes in sprint events and hillclimbs so more of a focus on lightweight. I cover my car to an extent and talk about the specialness I've been trying to create with that car.

We wrap up with a Q&A where the audience got the opportunity to dig a little deeper in to our insights and experiences.

You can find Porsche Club Great Britain at porscheclubgb.com or @porscheclubgb on Instagram.

It's very much in the spirit of old Top Gear this episode so if you get chance, head over to YouTube and watch the episode to get the full experience and see the cars we're talking about.

What was it like to install the Gold Leaf Performance 4RS intake on a 981?

I didn't have a great deal of choice last week. I wore the same scruffy garage clothes for days on end, bounced from day job to the Renngineering Cayman build, and back again.

I set myself the target of collecting and fitting the beautifully designed and made GT4 RS style intake system on my car within a week. A lofty goal, particularly because I'm absolutely anal about getting things right. Close just ain't good enough.

I didn't quite hit my one week goal but only by a day.

Putting it simply - I couldn't be happier.

I learned something in the process. All you need to do to have a successful reel is post up a short clip of a car revving to the redline. OK, I'm reasonably sure a Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 from 1994 wouldn't quite have got people excited but this certainly did.

I've since put 250 miles on the car and it's perfect. Everything works just as it should. Sounds immense. Looks even better. I'm a particular fan of the spec I chose as well,

• Agate grey side window pods
• Matte carbon throughout
• Gold pinstripe on the engine cover

In this episode I also pick up on the next few episodes being shot and some potentially game-changing news for Renngineering, that could... be the start of the shift towards it being a full time job.

Your Porsche Stories is BACK!

I love these episodes. They don't happen as frequently as I would like (massive hint there) so if you have a really cool Porsche or there's a great family story behind it, or perhaps the car itself has a really great backstory - I want to hear from you. Drop me a DM or email and we'll find some time.

Every now and again, I'll take the lead and when I see something cool, will reach out to the owner and invite them on. That's what happened with Bruce.

I genuinely didn't know about his Brumos and Hurley Haywood connections when I messaged him, nor did I realise how nice a guy he was. All just lucky surprises.

So, if you want to hear about a 250'000 mile '87 911 then grab that coffee and have a listen on any podcast streaming service.

Finally... FINALLY... The Tuthill Episode!

We're back with a new season, and I wanted to kick this one off with a big bang. What's a bigger bang than a rally driving legend that is just crazy enough to build an 11000rpm aircooled 911, run an ice driving event and has time left over to build a modern take on the Porsche GT1, the Tuthill GT ONE.

More than that though, the company itself carry out restoration builds, the SC RS, the 2.0 cup, and are again, just about mad enough to say yes to (almost) anything!

We get in to Richard's early memories of rolling a VW Beetle in the fields behind where we were sat as we recorded the episode. We talked about him getting politely kicked out of school, all the way through to scaling up from a well respected brand within a small community to a globally renowned business with clients all around the world.

It also, at times, felt and seemed like a job interview.

I genuinely feel like it's one of the best podcast episodes that I've recorded to date. I hugely proud of the progress I've made as a podcaster over the past few years and I truly hope you enjoy listening as much as I have making it.

Mick jumps back on the good ship Renngineering.

It's always fun us two getting together to rattle through what's going on in our lives but when Porsche release a do not drive statement just in time for a Waffle, it was always going to be good.

We also gave our thoughts on the GT3 992.2 and the 911 Carrera T. A cabrio... really?!

I hope you're all doing well. If you are get out and drive and if you can't do that, get planning a trip for when you can.

Thanks for listening.

The likes, shares, comments and subscribers really do make a difference to me. The quicker the channel gets monetised, the quicker the RENN550 gets built. The what??? You’ll see... Enjoy!
