I was (really) worrying about you…
Great to see you back! Keep putting out these quality, informative videos.
I haven’t bought the Porsche that brought me to your channel but I still enjoy your content.

[@shaazy]

Glad you held back! Aged pzeros in the cold are quite skiddish indeed and a bit wild with aids off. Keep em coming, especially after you do a tyre change!

[@mattpolinski4464]

love the audio quality man, exhaust sounds phenomenal

[@charlesnew1289]

Great to see you back at it.

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Good to be back!!! Thanks for your support.

[@bdoggery]

There he is! Good to see you making content again!

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Thank you so much! Good to be back!

[@mathisve]

Was wondering where you were! It's surprising how the 991.1 has barely aged considering it's 8 years old now, still looks modern when parked next to a 992! Would even say that I prefer the rear of the 991.1 / 991.2 over the 992's rear.

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

It's good to be back. My real job is all-consuming regarding my time but I missed driving and making videos. So this year, I promised myself to get back in to it! Thank you for your support. I still love my 991.1. I do think that the 992 looks great, a good evolution of the design, but I remain happy with my gem.

Nicely done as always. Short and sweet. Glad to see Boxster owners out there dispelling their poser image. 🤣

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Thank you! Yes, those Boxsters were very smooth and quick around the course.

[@wendycity99]

Great video glad to see you back

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Thank you so much!

[@mrmj4952]

Nice video Joe. I like the camera coverage.. it made me feel i was there. Where is the other half of the caped duo? Milton?

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Thanks and stay tuned. Videos with Milton coming soon.

[@felo001]

Long time without posting, glad you are back!

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Thank you so much for welcoming me back! More to come.

[@dlg5485]

Good times!

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Yes!

I just bought a 991.2 GTS and really want to try autoX, I am a little intimidated and not a great driver (yet) but I guess this is the best way to improve!

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

I understand it can seem intimidating but it really is fun and people who attend are nice and supportive. We are all there to have fun. You can have an experienced driver ride in the passenger seat with you and give you tips. That can be helpful. I had an experienced driver check my seating position (you need to sit close to the steering wheel for better leverage) and even that helped me. At the beginning of the autocross day, our Porsche club has a meeting specifically for beginners to help them feel at home and get the information they need. Try it! These cars are so much fun when pushed this way.

[@codymac181]

@@Joe_Hutchinson Thank Joe, I am going to do it and will make a video of my experience! Apprciate the advice and your last point on pushing these cars is something I am really looking forward to.

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Great! Let me know when the video is published! I look forward to it!

[@slytherben]

35, maybe 34 psi on tires will definitely help

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Yes, indeed! I'll try that next time.

[@ivaylooo]

How's the B6 doing? :)

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

We invested in a number of replacement parts. I will do a video on it soon. It's still rolling fine!

[@senorduc5944]

I miss my 991.1 GTS

[@Joe_Hutchinson]

Oh yeah, that car is a good one!
