It's my video diary of our 2023 9WERKS Road Trip Spectacular from the UK to beautiful Norway! This eight-day adventure saw seven cars from 9WERKS members take in 3,500 miles through seven countries to join our friends from Porsche Club Norway's Sunnmore region at the stunning Geirangerfjord.
I was chuffed to have my dad join me for this trip in Little Irish, my Porsche 996. This video brings highlights from an epic 9WERKS road trip, with memorable stop-offs at some of Norway's best driving roads including the majestic 'Trollstigen', as well as notable visits to Porsche Centre Gelderland, Heritage Parts Centre in Bremen, 911 Motorsport in Belgium, as well as an impromptu tug from German police!
I hope you enjoy the video, thanks to the 9WERKS legends who came along on the trip and joined in the fun of making great memories with these awesome cars. Thanks also to Porsche Club Norway for the continued friendship!

This video just proves that all you need are your favorite people and the right car to have an epic road trip.
Yep, great to share a road trip father with son. Something I have experienced with great satisfaction many a time. Your excursion to Norway with friends / 6 other Porsches and a Yaris (if I got this right) seems to have been an epic moment. And to top this unforgettable journey, the snoring sessions, without which surely this whole adventure wouldn’t have been half of what is was 😅👍
Lee, this would have to be one of your best videos. I loved hearing some of your Dad's stories. You are very lucky that you still have him in your life...I wish my Father was still here 🙏. Keep up the great work. Life is beautiful, especially in a Porsche 😉. Take care, Paul from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

What a fantastic trip. Something to look back on when that sad day comes and Dad departs to that great Porsche Factory in the sky. Great to see someone actually using their Porsche for its intended purpose too. I'm sure Ferry Porsche is looking down and smiling on you both. Cheers

This is fabulous! Back in 2001 my Dad bought his dream car an 88 911 Carerra he shared that with me for 16 years before getting a Golf R DSG as it was easier in his advancing years! We loved that car and so many happy memories. Fathers and sons, share those car experiences. Lee I share your pain as he snored like a chainsaw through 3 days at Goodwood Revival and 1 night at Castle Coombe! I'm now working hard to get a 997 to share with my son!
Something really charming about this. The car is brilliant of course (Always loved the 996) but going away with your dad - Precious!

What an absolutely super video 💥 Well done guys! 🤓
What great memories you will have of this trip. What is evident is that these 'old' 996's are more than capable of what they were built for, twisty roads requiring agile handling. The newer 911's, while undoubtedly more refined, can't possibly be as engaging.
17:45. Brilliant emote I can relate to
Honor thy Father well done

I have been savoring this episode and what a magnificent episode it was. Would very much like to do such a trip with my dad one day. Fathers are awesome❤ Hope to be able to meet up one day on a future trip of yours to Norway. Next time, maybe come up north of the Arctic Circle and join us at the Arctic Circle Raceway and then traveling to the magnificent Lofoten archipelago🤩

Cracking trip and Video with your Dad.... I laughed so hard at the snoring... my Dad used to snore like that... the two of them would put an old Grizzly to shame! I'm popping over for a cheeky visit to Norway this summer ( you and Harry are great inspiration!).... the first three days will mirror your journey up... thanks for the idea of stopping off at the Porsche Garage...

Lee, this took me right back to my 996 Norway trip! And you doing it as a father and son trip made me think I've got to do the the same, but the other way round - a bit of father and son time on a similar trip with my son Tom. A great video as usual - well done Lee.

Great trip buddy! Just watched your video and became even more desparate for an upcoming trip to Nurburgring with my dad in my base 987 boxster. Very interested to talk about anything that porsche is producing and has produced in general, they are truly special cars that hold time of their own. My journey has bagan from a 986 S and I am privileged to have a porsche specialist who is also my friend who looked after my cars.
Brilliant content as always, along with an amazing Dad 👍👍👍
