COVID brought about many crazy ideas. For Johan, he decided to ordain the Porsche 996-generation 911 the “next classic 911” and make road-going, all-purpose safari Porsche’s out of them. Pretty wild! Besides his endeavours with Safariprojek, he’s also had an itch for racing his whole life. Currently, he’s satisfying the desire by racing Dakar trucks. He is doing it all!
Here are some highlights of the podcast:

A name that doesn’t need introducing in the South African racing scene, and a name you would have heard a lot about over the past weekend at Simola Hillclimb, racing with his B19 Chevron and heavily-modified GTR called “Sheriff”. His family is well-known in the mining industry, but also for their racing, with Franco being part of a family of racers. He has stories upon stories to tell, including racing F40’s around on Italy’s mountain roads, and how he is rebuilding the very Mustang that almost caused his death.
Here are some of the highlights of the podcast:

“Ferrarista” is probably one of the words best describing Carlo Viglietti. A man that has been in and around Ferrari’s his whole life - working on them, selling them and driving them.

We speak about carburetors, going around corners without traction control, and also what is wrong with Lamborghinis (obviously).

Every success story starts with a vision, just like every great car story starts with a written-off Porsche… right? Andre Bezuidenhout has experienced a lot of the world behind the wheel of a classic 911 and has raced Polo’s to F1 cars. His story about a tin of coffee is so interesting that even Petrolicious wrote about it.

For some reason, Land Rovers are known for their issues and hiccups, but let's just say this one turned out a bit different to what was expected. From buying the car to almost writing-off the car, all in a few days time.

Neither could I. Have a listen to this story of how a Nissan NP200 treaded through the most treacherous grounds.

I first have to apologise for the extreme bias towards Porsche in this episode, but since I am shooting with Lourens Bester, the Porsche club Cape Town President, I feel it is fitting. We have a conversation regarding his career, but the majority of the podcast is about the inner workings of an official car club, the type of petrol heads within them, and the various legendary Porsche's of the past years.
Here is what we spoke about:
00:00 Introduction
01:00 Lourens' history with cars
10:39 Porsche club - then and now
23:17 How the Cayenne and Macan saved Porsche
29:06 Popular vs non-popular Porsches
