    We’re taking three cheap Porsches on a 1000 mile trip from the UK, through France, Belgium and Germany, battling through horrendous weather and stopping for some track laps too. Joining us is AutoAlex in his 200,000 mile Porsche 911 993, Jack and Ethan from All the Gear in their £1500 supercharged Porsche 924, and we’re in our £5000 Porsche 911 that we pulled out of a scrapyard and rebuilt for as cheap as possible just a few months ago.

    As other Porschephiles have commented, the R clip was missing from the caliper pin, allowing it to rattle out. The appropriate roadside fix would be to substitute a paper clip, or a small key ring, or anything else you can find of that ilk to prevent losing the caliper pin completely, which would be a much bigger headache to solve.

      Yeah, the engine has a lot of surface area on the inside which generates lots of condensation overnight. This makes mayonnaise when the car is driven. To get rid, just wipe it out with a cloth and run the car regularly and store in a heated garage. Or just ignore it.

    The Stag in the background during the sponsor segment was really nice to see! Dad used to have one that was engine swapped with a V8 from a Leyland P76, always thought I was the coolest getting dropped at school in it (When or if we eventually got to School 😅)
