Porsche Talk - Events and New Cars!
About this episode
Mark and Ajmal swap stories after a few weeks apart, then dive into back-to-back car events in Australia. Porsche’s “Sports Car Together Day” brought a mix of pristine classics and modern highlights, including a lineup of multiple 964 variants and a surprisingly taste-debatable Carrera GT with an aftermarket body kit. The next day’s Classic Cars and Coffee drew huge crowds—especially under-30 enthusiasts—plus rare oddballs like a Capri 3000 GT, E-types, and quirky French classics. They also chat about the weather and why comfortable “t-shirt” temps matter for getting out and enjoying shows.
While Marc has been attending Porsche and other Car events, Ajmal has been busy buying a new daily.
Is Marc ever capable of buying a 911, when he doesn't know which series he wants, let alone what model, spec or year? Air Cooled? Water Cooled?
Will Ajmal ever sell his 912, or get his 996 back on the road? Updates on both incoming.
All this and the usual nonsense these two bring to the show.
If you have comments, questions or suggestions, please reach out to the boys.
Ajmal is @flatcapdriver
Marc is @marcandcars
