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! 

In this episode we unpack Andy's recent decision to SELL HIS 991! Yup, it's gone. What was he thinking?! Let's talk about that... as well as a bunch of other fun stuff that's been going on recently... from 991.1 to 991.2 facelifts, new emblems, driving and more. Tune in, kick back and let's chat!

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!
