2024/11/12

We are joined by Sam White, co-Founder of Apiar Watches, and Porsche 911 owner. In fact this episode is pretty 911 centric, as his father bought the yellow 1971 Targa model the week Sam was born, and always promised the car to him when he was old enough. True to his word, the classic coupe is now in his ownership, complete with its uber-rare 6 pipe exhaust system, which is somewhat of an internet sensation!! There is also passing mention of a Vauxhall Astra and some newer generation Volk...
