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.

Modifying a 996 For The Porsche Restoration Challenge
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.

What’s It Like Owning A Beck 904?
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.

Buying A 168,000-mile Cayenne for $3500 - What Did I Learn?

Damon has racked a good amount of miles on the car and has a list of things that need to be fixed. Vu also shares his ownership experiences he’s had with his 2006 Cayenne he’s owned for almost 20 years.
