9Werks at the Warehouse 2025: Photo Gallery

Our show season began in style on Sunday with our 3rd annual Warehouse meet hosting our friends from 9Werks. It was freezing outside, but that didn't stop almost 40 Porsches descending on Heritage HQ; some from hundreds of miles away, for a morning of cars, chat, coffee and racing, plus a live recording of the excellent 9Werks radio podcast. 

If you have watched our Heretics events videos you'll know we love to throw open the doors of our warehouse and let owners in, and at this exclusive event, we also bring the cars inside with them! We managed to park 18 Porsches indoors, with vehicles in attendance ranging from a beautiful 1965 Porsche 911, and a stunning 911 SC to modern 991 Targas, GTS and GT3 examples, a 944, a 928 and a 968 Clubsport joined in the fun, along with Boxsters, Caymans and a beautiful Guards Red 964. 

9Werks is a Porsche community created by Lee Sibley, Andy Brookes and Max Newman. Lee was formally the editor of Total 911 magazine and is the main presenter of the 9Werks TV YouTube channel. Alongside him, Andy Brookes and Max Newman co-host the excellent 9Werks Radio podcast, sell merchandise, manage memberships, capture photos and pen words. You'll find online articles, cars for sale from vetted and well-respected retailers plus plenty of Porsche-flavoured events and trips all around the UK, and Europe to boot.

The 9Werks Driven Not Hidden Collective (DNHC) membership is through Paetron and events like this can be enjoyed for just a few pounds a month. 

You'll also find some very informative articles written by Lee Sibley on the Heritage blog.

It was arguably warmer outside than it was indoors, and we had a similar number of cars gracing the yard with their presence. 

It might have been cold outside, but Nic and Ben's did us proud with some glorious breakfast rolls, hot coffee and plenty of smiles. Certainly the fuel we needed to make it through the morning.

We tried to compliment colours and shapes allowing the artists amongst us to get creative when pointing their cameras.  This beautiful blue Porsche 968 Clubsport complements Andy's 944 nicely. 

Following the hilarity and fierce competition of the Hot Wheels racing at the last 9 Werks warehouse event, we upped the ante and introduced Wiggle-Car racing for 2025. Sold as a child's ride-on toy, they are propelled by steering the wheels left and right in a similar fashion to the Snake Board of the nineties. 

It turns out this was even more competitive, and full contact in some cases! A series of heats were held, with the winners then facing each other, and working through to a Grand Final which was won by Matt Pickering (who owns the Porsche 914 art car we featured at the 2023 9Werks event).

The icing on the cake for such a splendid morning of Stuttgart-based fun was the live recording of a 9Werks Radio Podcast, with 40 or so owners congregating in a 'help group'- type circle to discuss how much they spent on their cars last year! 

With the yearly tally ranging from £1500 to £20,000 over the last 12 months (taking in tax, insurance and maintenance) most importantly though, these cars delivered happiness behind the wheel, and because of that still represented good value for money.
