Goodbye 2021, hello 2022. In this final episode of the year, I'm joined by my good friend and fellow Porsche YouTuber, Jay Read. Today we're talking about how our Porsche journeys have taken a few surprising turns this year and what next year has in store for our channels and the content we're planning... from Jay's newly acquired 986 Boxster, the goodbye to my 991 and renewed focus on my 996 Carrera project car...
FINALLY someone managed to get Nick Murray on a podcast and I'm happy to announce that it was Jay Read and I. In this episode I take an unbelievable amount of sh*t from my friends Murray and Read, two self-confessed "Porsche a**holes" (their words, not mine... but yeah, accurate). In this episode we're slamming my mods, slamming my taste in colors, talking about the 2025 electric 718 Cayman / Boxster and a load ...
In this episode I'm joined by not just one but two special guests - Andy of Last Rasp and Danial of Jet Fuel Only. Three Porsche nuts having some end of the week banter before the weekend arrives. In this episode we're catching up on the experiences at had in Indianapolis Indiana recently at both the 7th occurrence of the Lüft Porsche event and the #PorscheTogetherFest the very next day at the world famous Indianapolis Mo...
Should I be putting more emphasis on my 10-year wedding anniversary that my wife and I actually celebrating today (Aug 27th 2011-21!!!) or 5-years of making AutoAmateur videos? Hmm... wife or Porsches... tough choice. Haha. In this episode we absolutely do start off with a HUGE shoutout to my lovely wife Ruthie before getting into Porsches and AutoAmateur. Keep your eyes open for a celebratory YouTube video in the works too... Tune...
I'm little late publishing this week's podcast, but at least here in the US mid-west I can still claim that it's Friday, just! In this episode I'm back with Atlanta based Andrew Gladden of 'Nine Eleven South' from Instagram and YouTube. We're talking about 911 mods, specifically a run down of the cracking number that Andrew has finished on his 991 this year. We're talking TechArt aerokits, lo...
James and Andy back with some Porsche banter on a Friday afternoon. What better way to head into the weekend?! In this episode we're talking about what we're seeing going on in the Porsche market and talking about what the future might hold for those looking to get into their first P-car. We also talk about a 911-R that's currently on offer for a cool $500k and other unicorns available on the market at the moment suc...
Another episode and I'm joined with Andy from Last Rasp for some good old Porsche banter! In this episode (after some random celebrity stories) we get into Andy's recent jobs on his 964, plans for his 991 (and its wonky deck lid emblem) and we talk about my latest series of 991 mods. Tune in, kick back and enjoy!
In this episode, and new podcast season season opener, I'm back with Jay Read for some Porsche banter. We're about 11 weeks away from our return trip to the Smoky Mountains and the world famous 'Tail of the Dragon' driver's road of roads. We get into what people can expect from this next trip to the Tail as well as talking about some exciting mods and videos that are in the pipeline from Jay's channel...
In this last episode of season 5 of this podcast, we're talking about driving. Did you know that people driving their cars around traffic cones in over-sized carparks is a national sport? A worldwide phenomena? It's called Autocross. It's pervasive in the car community, it's organized, it's competitive and it has a huge following around the world. In this podcast I'm joined by my friend Danial at Jet ...
In this episode I'm joined by Alan who started the Instagram @Flat Six Affair which is laced with gorgeous, epic and blisteringly good Porsche images. Alan has a visual style that is quite unique and his content is always of the highest quality. He is part of the Porsche culture and car community in Melbourne Australia, having moved down under from his native Scotland over 20 years ago. We talk our joint love of Porsche cars, ...
Is this episode I talk about the new series of mods I have in store for my Porsche 911... and yes of course, one of them involves carbon fiber. Those who know me, you know. Tune in, kick back and let's have some Porsche chat!
Another thoroughly enjoyable and completely hilarious conversation with Andy Gaunt at Last Rasp. I'm not sure if it was because it was early morning for Andy, or late in the day for me, but whatever was going down made for a brilliant load of Porsche banter. We talk about tracking our cars, auto cross, mods for Andy's 964 and my 991... and lots, lots more. Tune in, kick back and enjoy!
We're shaking things up a little this week with a special guest Inga Umblija from Riga, Latvia.

In this episode of the AutoAmateur podcast I'm joined by Rene, the 997 owner behind the relatively new Instagram @DutchNineEleven. Rene has accumulated more followers on his Instagram in 6 months than I have in the last 3 years of having my own to complement my AutoAmateur YouTube Channel. What makes Dutch Nine Eleven special? Rene for sure, he's an extremely nice guy with a passion for his Porsche and posting gorgeous sh...
In this episode I'm joined by Beth from the YouTube channel 'The ABC's of Beth', a fellow content creator, Porsche owner and car enthusiast extraordinaire. During her driving career, Beth has owned over 90 (NINETY!) cars, many of them Porsches. Today she still maintains a collection that includes a unique 914, Boxster, Cayman and as of a few days ago, a gorgeous example of a 997. Tune in, kick back and enjoy!
Welcome back to the AutoAmateur podcast! In this episode I talk about the new mods and jobs I have coming up to do on my 991, we talk upcoming Project 996 content and what's new... rumors are (confirmed by photos from the Ring!) that the 992 GT3 Touring is going to be here soon. Tune in, kick back, let's talk!
In this podcast I have Jay Read back for more Porsche banter!

Andy from Last Rasp is BACK for more Porsche banter with James at AutoAmateur. In this episode we talk about a range of P-car related topics from ridiculous named (and looking?) factory Taycan color choices, how Andy scratched is 964 and whole load of other fun and games. Tune in, kick back and enjoy. Cheers!
Welcome back to the AutoAmateur podcast! Let's get straight down to it - CARBON FIBER - loved and loathed by many. What is it? Why do we lovers find it so appealing to add to the interiors and exteriors of our cars? Why do the haters think it makes cars look cheap and nasty? It's a bit of a polarizing topic, but chatting about it with Danial was always going to fun (and not just because I get throw in endless Top Gun refe...
