Welcome to Curb and Canyon – a podcast for Porsche enthusiasts BY Porsche enthusiasts. A collaboration between Porsche tragics, Andy Gaunt of ‘Last Rasp’ and James McGrath of ‘Auto Amateur’, Curb and Canyon is all about the lifestyle choice that is Porsche ownership. We’re not experts, we’re mates having a laugh about owning and driving these great cars, the roads we’ve driven, the upgrades we’ve made, the mods we’ve messed up and the great people we’ve met along the way. We want the world to know how awesome it is to own a car with the Porsche crest on the hood! New episodes dropping weekly with regular guests and panelists from across the Porsche world.

  1. Porsche Financials, the 911 GT3 Cabrio-Debate Redo and Porsche 'Sonderwunsch' lets you build your own 'Homer'

    Porsche Financials, the 911 GT3 Cabrio-Debate Redo and Porsche 'Sonderwunsch' lets you build your own 'Homer'

    Let us know what you think! Porsche has released a new update on its finances and business strategy and, somehow, managed to talk about Porsche without really talking about cars. Bold move. So naturally, James and Andy are here to overreact responsibly. This month on Curb and Canyon, we dig into Porsche’s latest corporate brain dump: what it says, what it doesn’t say, and whether anyone in Stuttgart remembered that the whole point of Porsche is usually the cars. Then we climb back into the GT3 convertible / “SC” debate, because apparently James’ opinions escaped into the Porsche community and caused a few people to spill their espresso. Were his takes fair? Was the reaction fair? Is a roofless GT3 genius, madness, marketing sorcery, or all of the above? We also get dangerously carried away with Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program, which sounds like a fantasy factory for people with unlimited money and very specific childhood dreams. So of course we ask the important question: if Porsche handed us the design team, the paint booth, the parts bin, and a completely irresponsible budget… what would we build? And finally, we have another Video of the Week. Andy picked it. So yes, obviously, it features an air-cooled Porsche. Try to look surprised. Fast takes, strong opinions, questionable financial analysis, and just enough Porsche nerdery to get us in trouble again. Tune in, kick back, welcome to Curb and Canyon.

  2. The Angry Episode - GT3 SC (Shameful Convertible), the next Porsche Hyper-Car and an Overused Porsche Term

    The Angry Episode - GT3 SC (Shameful Convertible), the next Porsche Hyper-Car and an Overused Porsche Term

    Let us know what you think! Ear Muffs. You've been warned! We're often a little swear'y here at Curb and Canyon but in this episode we're not holding back. James gives us his views on the recent launch of the convertible GT3 (it's hard to type that let alone talk about it), Andy launches into a segment on a term that gets thrown around inappropriately and inaccurately by many Porsche owners and both get rather vocal about the rumored Hyper-Car which is expected to top the 918 Spyder. As if that isn't enough to fill the agenda, Andy's 964 - Little Green - ran into some mechanical trouble recently, we have a different kind of 'Video of the Week' for you and all the usual Porsche banter. Tune in, kick back and welcome to Curb and Canyon.

  6. Pickleball, Porsches, and People Who Actually Drive Their 911 STs

    03/22/2025

    Pickleball, Porsches, and People Who Actually Drive Their 911 STs

    Let us know what you think! The perfect sports car should look incredible, handle with precision, and sound like it means business—but do modern Porsches deliver on that final criterion? In this episode, Andy questions why a Cayenne GTS sounds more aggressive and exciting than the flagship 911, sparking a debate about whether sound is even essential to the sports car experience. James shares his recent journey to Amelia Island for the annual Werks Reunion event, including an impromptu meeting with Porsche icon Magnus Walker and a hilarious story about a friend who arrived at the gathering an entire week early. Meanwhile, Andy describes his DIY adventures fixing a deteriorated shift boot on his 964 and troubleshooting a mysterious steering noise before his upcoming Alpine Range Rally. Between pickleball victories, car show encounters, and debates about whether they'd choose a GT4 RS or Spyder RS given the opportunity, James and Andy celebrate what makes the Porsche community special: its ability to embrace diverse approaches to enjoying these iconic machines, from purists to modifiers and daily drivers to weekend warriors. Tune in, kick back and welcome to Curb and Canyon.
