Porsche Reviews

In 2006 & 2007 Maxi Jazz raced this 997 GT3 Cup car in the Porsche Carrera Cup championship. It was run by Redline Racing at the time. We bought the car in 2008. It did a couple of track days but was never raced. We've had the car in storage taking it to the occasional show and exhibition, it's wearing CCTV42 livery from a security show in Birmingham several years ago.

The 997 GT3 Cup car was factory built to go racing. Porsche are one of the few manufacturers who sell bespoke race cars alongside road cars. This model featured a sequential gearbox, blade torsion bars and a host of race features such as built in air jacks and centre lock wheels.

As a piece of Porsche history it makes a loud and assertive statement but it can also be used in anger, either on track days where you don't suffer the compromise of using a road car but instead enjoy the full potential of the 997 model Porsche. It can also still be raced in a number of series.

As the Porsche GT3 Cup car starts to enter the realms of historic racing it offers a competitive but also most importantly safe platform in which to compete. The car was designed from the outset to go racing, just take a look at the roll cages in these cars, they are a work of engineering supremacy. Not just roll protection but also side impact protection as well.

A true petrol head Maxi Jazz is of course best remembered as a legendary artist in the world of electronic / dance music. He was the very definition of cool. The quietest voice making the most noise.

A quick snapshot of the £200m Uxbridge Moor substation / Iver Substation extension project currently under construction. Filmed February 2026. When completed this will help support power requirements in the area including several data centers both planned and already operational.

Rusty brake lines are a common problem on the 997 model Porsche 911. We take a look at the most difficult brake line to change which goes over the engine and gearbox. How do you replace it? Do you have to remove the engine? What other jobs are worth doing at the same time?

A quick promo video of our lovely price range Porsche 997.2 coupe. The direct fuel injection model. Superb history, a credit to the previous owner. Cosmetically beautiful. If only we could find 10 more like this one.

One of only 14 UK right hand drive examples sold and arguably one of the best looking Porsches ever produced. A modern classic with great handling and creature comforts like power steering and ABS brakes.

A worthy addition to any Porsche collection

Finally we get the engine in our Porsche 964 RS. What started out as a bit of a refresh has taken us from engine shop to body shop and its now back in the workshop.

It's been 19 years since the car had its engine in, we lent it to a fellow competitor in the 2007 Silverstone 24 hour race on the promise it would be rebuilt. Never totally satisfied we didn't re fit it with the intention of getting the job done properly ourselves. Today we turned the key, would it start?

I came across Classic Remise whilst visiting Boot Dusseldorf, a huge boat show that takes place every January. Being a fan of all things automotive this was an absolute gem of a find. Entry is free, you can look at old cars, buy cars, get cars serviced and restored, enjoy a drink or some food in the restaurant, buy lifestyle products, they even have motor bikes as well. Loads of different marques are represented, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Morgan, Bentley, Ford, American cars and even motorbikes.

A video made at the 911uk.com Porsche meeting September 2024. Held every 3rd Wednesday of the month in the Summer this was the last event for 2024. We look at some of the cars there including our own Cayenne GTS truck. We also had a chat with the Sundeep, the show's organiser and the man behind 911uk.com
