Tuning And Selling Porsches w. Ollie Preston | RPM Technik

OIllie Preston, Technical Director of RPM Technik joins me to talk about his journey and all things Porsche. We have a dig into what it was like building a business from a single ramp all the way through to the multi building setup it is today. We don't just cover what RPM do (although they do ALOT, they will even put back seats in your GT3) but we also cover aftermarket tuning and restomods such as Singer and RUF. There is so much 911 chat in here it's possibly too much (is that possible tho...).

Car Chat Podcast #017 - REVIEW : 997.2 GT3 RS vs 991.2 Manual GT3

Bringing another dimension to the podcast, I got the chance to drive a Porsche 911 991.2 Manual GT3 back to back with my GT3 RS and here are my thoughts. I did a video over on youtube on the day but I've had a chance to really sit down and have a think about the 2 cars.
