Curb and Canyon: A Porsche Podcast

Two pods in two weeks?! You can't get rid of us. In this episode we're going somewhat unscripted because Andy's dog ate the show notes but don't let that put you off, this one's another cracker. We're talking about Andy's recent 'Mega-Loop' Rally and his upcoming 'Alpine Ridge Rally 10' while James is getting ready for his annual pilgrimage to the Smoky Mountains for some dragon slaying at Tail of the Dragon. Will he finally tune his 991 before he leaves?? We've also got some shocking news to report from Connecticut USA about Jay Read's beloved 928 and much more. Tune in, kick back and welcome to Curb and Canyon.

Andy and James share their reactions to the 992.2. Porsche just recently announced the second generation 992 and besides adding a T-Hybrid engine that comes with the GTS variant, they're throwing everything else away - no rear seats, no manual transmission, no more key-start ignition, no more analog instrument cluster gauges. The cheek! In this episode we're also talking about the recent lawsuit Porsche brought against million-dollar modifiers 'Singer', we recap Porsche's recent adventures at Le Mans and Andy has a new daily driver! (To be honest, it's not a Beige Volvo, but it might as well be...).

Andy and James are back! We've missed you, but after some hilariously over-the-top scheduling snafus, we're back and broadcasting from Minnesota to Melbourne for the start of our FOURTH season of this podcast for Porsche enthusiasts by Porsche enthusiasts.

Feel the pride as we showcase our latest projects, including those slick custom automotive tach faces that are sure to add a personal stamp to any Porsche interior. But it's not all smooth sailing—there's the tale of Andy's missed rally due to a surprise injury, a testament to life's unexpected twists, and the unyielding spirit of the rally community. Lastly, we get real about our undying love for the 964 models, painting vivid pictures of Tasmanian drives and the pulse-quickening excitement of dodging disaster at car events. We swap stories with fellow Porsche fanatics and look ahead to the legendary Tail of the Dragon. So, start your engines and join us for stories that fuel our shared passion of Porsche.
