Gears And Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

We're back for episode 61, and we have a full house as this week we're joined by Rent-A-Crowd and Mr. Trewsy. It's a slow news week, but we start off with GM using Holden to focus on new automotive technologies (presumably to be used in other brand's cars). We talk about a beer supplied by Rent-A-Crowd, a beer called 'Blue Moon', and we agree that it is indeed terrible... But Mitch drinks them anyway. We then have an argument about the AMG GT and the Aston Marton DB11. Matt starts a topic discussion, "What have you done to your car this week?", in which Joseph talks about his 86, then Matt talks about his Forester... And what's wrong with it. Matt then goes on to talk about the bar-work he's ordered for his 105 Series. If you made it to the end of this episode, well done, this episode was off the bloody rails... Even for us!

In spite of technical difficulties, we've powered through and we're back with episode 60. First up, we talk about the Camaro arriving in dealerships within a few weeks. Then we talk about an Aussie icon, the Ford Territory, making a return but not where you might expect it. Mitch then proves he is utterly incapable of doing accents. Joseph then talks about the highest sold vehicles for 2018, Ford's F-Truck being Number 1. We then talk about the youthification of Mercedes, specifically the A-Class, which is basically an iPad on wheels. Mitch then admits he was a scumbag, and Matt talks about his new Toy...ota. You can find Mitch's article on Liberty Walk ruining the new Suzuki Jimny on our site www.gearsandbeersmedia.com We had some silly technical issues with this week's episode (thanks Garageband!), but we still hope you enjoyed it.

We're back for episode 59 this week, and our first topic this week is talking about Holden's worst sales month since 1948. We then talk about Hairgel's hair for some reason. Our next topic is about a British tourist racking up $47,000 worth of speeding fines in Dubai, which turns into a general discussion of fines and tickets. Then we talk about Seat wanting to compete with Alfa-Romeo and be known as the sportscar company of Volkswagen Automotive Group. We then have an argument about driving etiquette and whether you should or shouldn't cut corners when driving in the twisties. Then Hairgel talks about the new Toyota Corolla's pricing and specifications. Matt then talks about his plans for the Forester, before bringing back his game 'Show Me What You Got' - Pictures of the cars Joseph and Mitch picked will be posted to our Facebook page, so be sure to head there and tell us who you think won!

It's just the original trio this week, which was a nice change of pace. We start off, after giving Hairgel some shade, with some conversation from Mitch, asking what's the point of non-RS and S Audi's. Joseph then talks about the X-Class Diesel pricing and specs being confirmed. We then play Matt's new game, 'Show Me What You Got', during which Matt talks about his Forester's bash-plate saving his bacon over the weekend. Then we briefly talk about our WTAC trip this year, before ending with a final game of 'Show Me What You Got'.

This week, we're joined by the now regular guest Michael Trew, as well as Ben Sewell of the 'Pencil's Ballercast' podcast. This week we talk about the i30N Fastback Sedan, Lamborghini breaking Porsche's Nurburgring record by more than 2 seconds, the Ranger Raptor's anaemic engine, and comfortable daily hatchbacks, among our trademark banter and bollocks.

Where to start with this week's episode, it's a glorious blend of beer-induced insanity and brilliance, topped with a healthy serving of bollocks and a side of ridiculous. Sit down, strap in, 'cause It's a hell of a ride.

Thanks to Mr. Michael Trew who returns again this week, we actually have some beer to talk about as he kindly supplied some beers. One of which was bad, the other was decent. The first topic this week is Trewsy talking about his MX5, which once again, is broken. Matt then gives a brief update on the Project Prado, which is coming along nicely. Mitch then talks about the Ariel Atom 4 to be certified for sale in Australia from 2019, and then we agree that driving a car and driving a car are completely different things. Mitch then talks about Suzuki Australia confirming the confirmation of the new Suzuki Jimny coming to Australia, also from 2019. We then talk about old cars that smell of fuel, and old Toyota Camry's. Matt the asks a question. What JDM classic would you pick; FD RX7, R32 GTR, Mk4 Supra, or a (stock) S13 Silvia. Joseph then talks about Kia's recall of yellow Stinger's, whose paint is prone to cracking. We then take a question from Grant, one of our listeners, about tyres.

We start off by talking about the new 2019 Subaru Forester which Matt and Mitch both think is ugly, and is not a Forester. Then Mitch talks about the new Suzuki Jimny, which gets us off onto talking about 4x4's, and later we talk about it being confirmed for Australia in Q1 2019. We then talk about E10 vs E85, and fuels in general. We then talk about Matt breaking the lower timing belt cover off the Project Prado. Matt then asks if you'd spend the extra $4000 for a brand new Mazda CX3, vs a used CX3 with a few thousand kilometres on the clock. We then talk about the i30N's current wait, and other hot hatches. Joseph then talks about the soon-to-be Mercedes Autohaus in Newstead Brisbane. Joseph then talks about brakes and brake cooling. www.gearsandbeersmedia.com For business and advertising enquiries, please email contact@gearsandbeersmedia.com #cars #news #suzuki #mazda #subaru #carnews #carpodcast #australian

We're a day late due to State of Origin was on Sunday night delaying the upload (we weren't going to skip on Origin, don't be ridiculous!).This week is the return of Mr. Michael Trewsy Trew, who hasn't been a guest on the show for almost a year.There's not much news this week, so we talk about our eBay Spec Project Prado, dubbed 'Toohey Ringpull', and what we've done to it.Matt then talks about selling his first car, a Subaru GC8 Impreza over the weekend.We then talk about Joseph's day on the track, and his future Jeep Wrangler.Matt then talks about his issues with engineering companies and their disinterest in working on his Forester.We then answer a question from Grant, one of our l

Matt managed to recover episode 49 after GarageBand's complete and utter failure, which is why this week's episode is late.We start off with Matt talking about his knee surgery, otherwise his weak excuse to not drink for the next few months.To change things up, we actually talk about beer this week, and this week the beer is Kirin Megumi.Joseph then brings up the first news topic of the week, which is Dodge Ram's 1500 Rebel TRX, and somehow this transitions into a discussion between Joseph and Matt about RM William's boots...Then Mitch talks about going to see the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS at Porsche Centre Brisbane.Then Joseph talks about California trialling digital number plates, and

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming this week with episode 48!After the usual bantz, we start off with Matt giving Mitch the budget for this week's episode of 'Finder's Fee' - $7,500, but with a twist.

What the deuce? Two episodes in two days? Craziness!This episode is a continuation from the last episode, somewhat, and after a bit of nonsense, we start off with 'Finder's Fee'... After Matt incorrectly calls it 'What About This Car' a few times.The budget Joseph gave Matt for this week's episode of 'Finder's Fee' is $200,000.The 3, well 4 (kinda), cars this week are; 2017 Dodge Challenger HellcatMack Trident (truck)2017 Audi RS6 Advant2017 Range Rover SportMatt then goes on to talk about Ford Mustangs, and Joseph impresses all with his knowledge on Mustangs and muscle cars.We then get onto an argument about manufacturers and dealerships pre-modifying vehicles, which Matt finds particularly triggering with regards to cafe racer motorcycles.Like us on 

We're late again this week, sorry about that, but to make up for it, there'll be a special bonus episode later this week as well.We start this week in the usual fashion, with an argument, and a discussion about 'The Bold and the Beautiful', for some reason.Then we break trend and talk about beer, and this week, it's a rather beer that raised mixed emotions. This week we're talking (arguing and yelling) about Holgate's Norton Lager.If you want to skip ahead past our bollocks, skip to the 10:00 minute mark.Joseph gives Matt his budget for the game 'Finder's Fee', with which he is to find 3 cars. The budget this week is $200,000.00The first news topic we actually discuss this week is Hot Wheels' 50th Anniversary

A few days late, but better late than never!This was take-two of episode 45 as Matt accidentally killed the first recording 30 minutes in.We start off with the news, or rather, what news there has been in the last few weeks since we last recorded.

We then talk about car shows in general, particularly Top Gear.We then attempt to play our favourite game, 'What About This Car'. Matt completely failed to say what the budget for this week's segment, and we only talked about one car because we got distracted talking about fuel and fuel pricing. Whoops! Like us on Facebook! / Follow us on 

This week is part two of the 3 episodes in one night marathon we did to cover Joseph's absence while he's in Japan.Matt finally gives up blue-ballsing everyone and reveals the car he bought months ago... We talk about this for a while, among semi-relevant tangents.We then move onto 'Finder's Fee'. Mitch was given $25,000 with which to find 3 cars to 'sell' to Matt. The 3 cars on offer box Matt in, which causes Matt a bit of grief.The three cars this week are;1979 Toyota Landcruiser FJ402001 Honda S20002013 Subaru WRXAnd that's it this week, we didn't cover much, but it was a full episode. Next week is the final episode for the 3-parter marathon, in which the beers start taking hold. Like us on Facebook! / Follow us on 

Joseph is going to Japan for a few weeks, so we had to record 3 episodes to cover his time away. Episode 42 is part one of our 3 episode marathon we recorded in one sitting, needless to say, by the end of episode 44 we were pretty delerious...
