Porsche Winter Road Trip Guide

Is there really an "off-season" for Porsche owners? We don’t think so.

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee and Andy are joined by a powerhouse panel from the Driven Not Hidden Collective (DNHC) —Ben, Paul, Saquib, and Mark — to recount their recent winter adventure. We dive into the grit, the salt, and the pure joy of tackling a winter road trip when most Porsches are tucked away under covers.

We also bring you the highlights from our first event of 2026: 9WERKS at the Warehouse. Despite freezing temperatures, the DNHC descended on Heritage Parts Centre for a morning of coffee, Porsche chat, and indoor Wiggle Car racing.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Winter Road Trip: Why an "off-season" tour offers a unique (and quieter) driving experience.
• Winter Prep: How the panel readies their air-cooled and water-cooled 911s for the cold.
• Heritage HQ Highlights: A look back at our first major DNHC gathering of the year.
• Porsche Factory Trivia: We reveal exactly how many Porsche 911s are produced at Zuffenhausen in a single day (Hint: It’s more than you think!).

Whether you’re planning your own winter escape or just want to hear about the reality of year-round 911 ownership, this episode is for you.
