​It’s a crew show this week, and the boys have plenty to talk about. Singer has released its new DLS Turbo restoration, Lee’s been out driving a new 992 Carrera T, plus Andy has a challenge for the team to honour the wishes of late Uncle Reg, who would (probably) like us to invest his inheritance in a suitable car from the 9WERKS Marketplace…

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!! ;-)

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.

Road to Redline is presented by Porsche Journalist Lee Sibley (@9werks_lee), engineer Andy Brookes (@993andy) and consumer guru Joe Williams (@joewilliamsuk), three enthusiasts on a mission to open doors and bring you the best stories, secrets and exclusives from the world of Porsche. Road to Redline ran from April 2020 to July 2021.

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!

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.

David and Betim reveal just what it’s like competing in the famous 14,115ft-elevated hillclimb, and why they’re determined to outmuscle the big guys at the 99th meeting come June 27th 2021. Prepare for an epic discussion!
