Gears and Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

We're back for episode 91! This week we start off with a bit a throwback to our older episodes, before we break into a bit of news and conversations.

We start off with Matt telling us that he's finally sold his Subaru Forester to a dealership that buy people's cars off CarSales.

 Then Joseph talks to us about how we can get ourselves a free 911 GT2RS.... That has some water damage. Then Joseph shares that Audi engineers are pushing to keep the TT and R8 in production.

Then matt asks for a wildcard entry for 'How Bout Dat' before Mitch asks whether the panel would prefer a "perfect" car or a car that has "faults".

The last piece of news from Joseph is about the new Corvette being delayed due to chassis flex.

We then get onto the last few rounds of our game 'How Bout Dat'?

We start off this week with Matthew and Joseph talking about rum, specifically Bundaberg Rum's Banana and Toffee flavoured rum, and Mitch continues to drink Great Northern.

We then start off the news with the new Ferrari F8 Tributo, which Matt doesn't care about, and Mitch and Joseph agree that Ferrari's phoned this one in. Mitch then briefly talks about Subaru's recall on the brake light sensor/port for the WRX, XV, and Forester.

Then we talk about pro-drifter Daigo Saito already having swapped a 2JZ into his new A90 Toyota Supra drift car, and CXRacing in the States already working on a 2JZ swap kit for the new A90 Supra.

Mitch then brings up the new Koenigsegg Jesko, a car claimed to be the first production car to reach 300MPH/482KPH, Joseph talks about the new Leaf from Nissan, and Mitch talks about RM Sotheby's auction of a record auction price of a A80/Mk4 Toyota Supra at $173,000 USD.

Then Matt brings back one of our classic games, 'Show Me What You Got' and this week the requirements this week are $10,000, manual, and turbo, and somehow Matt got it wildly wrong (and it's his own game!).

We then end this week with the 'Play-offs' of our other favourite game, 'How Bout Dat'

We are back with episode 89! And this week, if we're honest, is a bit of a clusterfuck of bollocks, but that's okay because we're unashamedly unprofessional! This week, we're joined once again by Benjamin of Pencil's Ballercast, and after a bit of banter and beer talk, we finally start on some news from Geneva.

Mitch then starts off the news about Pininfarina's new Battista, a 1,415kw (1,900hp) hypercar, and the 11,000RPM Aston Martin's Valkyrie which causes a panel divide.

Then Joseph brings up news about the Toyota Hilux single-handedly outselling all of Holden for the month of February, and our favourite little Chinese manufacturer, MG, killing it last month, then we talk about - of all things - the Australian economy.

Joseph then brings up Volvo limiting all cars, from 2020 onwards, limiting their cars to 180KPH, and then we talk about Adam LZ catching the ire of old-mate Tracey Grimshaw / A Current Affair after his recent trip to Brisbane. Joseph has even more news, this time about the new convertible version of the Mercedes AMG GT-R.

Then Matthew has a story about his recent trip to Melbourne where he visited a Tesla dealership that had Tesla 3's on show, then Mitch briefly talks about the brilliant little Honda EV Concept being officially put into production, however it's NOT coming to Australia, sadly, and Joseph talks about the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster.

Then Ben Ben asks Mitch why he has stickers on his 86; Cars for Hope, QLD 86/BRZ Owners Club, Mishimoto, and Boosted Autos. Ben then asks whether his Mazda SP25 would lose to a Hyundai Ioniq.

We're back with episode 88, and after our useful bollocks, we start off the news from the world of Toyota and their plan to compete against the GTI, RS, and Type R in the Hot Hatch market with a go-fast 1.6L Turbo'd Corolla.

Then Joseph brings up more news from the world of Toyota, with them announcing the new HiAce, a vehicle that hasn't had an update since 2004.

Matt then brings up some news (for a change), about Volkswagen Australia dropping $3,000 from 2018-plate Golf R's and GTI's, then we argue about hot hatches for a bit. Matt actually brings up some more news (clearly on a roll) about the next Ford Ranger that's been leaked, and Jetta being a Volkswagen sub-brand in China.

We then talk a bit more about the 1.6L turbo Corolla, then Mitch gets roasted by Joseph over his shirt, before Mitch talks about how when astronauts spend 6 months or more in space, their driving ability is impaired back on Earth for up to a week when they return.

The last piece of news, once again from Matt, is about Holden editing or removing comments on their social media, then Joseph tells us a story about his family's car buying habits.

We then talk a bit about Subaru WRX's and Mitsubishi Evolution's, then we talk about track-slut 86's and BRZ's, and Matt and Mitch bitch about our shared hatred of our head units.

We then play 'How Bout Dat', starting off with Nissan.

We're back for episode 87 this week, and this we start off by actually introducing ourselves for a change!

We then move straight onto a question from a listener, and this week's question comes from a Mr. Michael Jones, and Michael's question is asking us what car he should buy to replace his Holden Commodore SSV Redline. The criteria is that the replacement car needs to be newer than 2010, preferably a wagon, and less than 100,000km's and a max of $70,000.

We then answer a second question from a Mr. Taylor, who asked why clutches smell when you burn them.

We then talk a fair bit about Mercedes and BMW, and how Mitch found sitting in a 2014 525d rather disappointing, and Matt talks about him finally putting the Forester XT up for sale on CarSales.

We then talk about Gosford Classic Car Museum, and how it has officially closed its doors due to the owner and the Australian Taxation Office having a bit of a dispute.

Matt then talks about his and Mitch's highly eventful day out at Bribie Island and what happened to his Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser.

We then play this weeks' game of "How Bout Dat", and this week we start off my Lamborghini.

Episode Hachi-Roku, and we spend the first 10 minutes talking absolute rubbish, and Matt doing some weird ASMR stuff... Odd chap.

Finally, we start talking about actual topics, starting with Joel leaving his fuel filler cap behind at the servo, and he talks about a little bit of news. The news he brings to the table is Toyota releasing a British Racing Green limited edition GT86 in Japan.

Matt then asks us 2 listener questions, from listeners. The first question from Bob is asking why the Ecoboost base Mustang looks "so terrible" compared to the fully-loaded 5.0 Mustang GT. We then have a debate about Australian car buying habits, and Matt and Mitch get annoyed with Joel and Joseph having a second conversation.

The second question is about whether or not each of us like car vinyl wraps or not, and we talk about painting cars and parts.

Joseph then talks about some news about Subaru's hybrid E-Boxer coming in 2020, while Mitch fetches some more beer.

Mitch then talks about General Motors considering leaving Australia, and handing Holden over to Inchcape; a large multinational automotive distribution company. Then we talk a bit about Toyota Celica facts.

We're back for episode 85! And once again, we're joined by the Short One (two weeks in a row!).

Joseph takes point this week, and talks about the new Mustang V8 Supercar and why it looks so bloody weird, and not at all like a Mustang. We then talk a bit about V8 Supercars, and motorsport, as a whole.

Matt then brings up some news regarding January 2019 being the worst month for car sales since 2012, however MG's sales for January is up 400% on 2018's sales numbers. Then we talk about the new Mazda 3, and autonomous driving tech.

We then talk about Ford and Volkswagen getting together to make a smaller truck under the Ford Ranger for emerging markets, specifically South America. Then we talk about platform sharing tactics between car brands.

Mitch then talks about Porsche coming forward to say their last 911's fuel efficiency being miscalculated due to using a wrong calculation of drag its co-efficient.

Joseph then brings up the new Rav4, and for the most part (except for Matt) we like it, despite it getting larger... Again. We then argue over what Matt means by calling the CH-R "Quirky and fun.", and then Joseph talks about Mountune's new gear and tune for the Focus RS.

We then have an argument about luxury cars, specifically Audi and how only the RS need to exist.

We then get straight into our favourite and newest game; 'How Bout Dat', where we each name our favourite cars from brands and vote on which car wins.

Gears and Beers is hosted by Mitchell Denham, Joseph Riga, Matt Morwood, and Joel McD.

We're back for episode 84! And this week, we are once again joined by Joel, AKA Rent-A-Crowd. We start off this week with Joel talking about his Nissan Z32 finally being on the road, and we talk about other coupes too.

Mitch then talks about some news, and the first piece of news (which later turned out to not be true), is that Subaru and Toyota at the time of recording having no plans to update the BRZ or GT86, then Mitch goes on to rant about the insane prices of small, old, Suzuki 4x4's on CarSales.com.au, and Joseph talks a bit about the 'new' Series 1 Holden Monaro.

Then Joel asks a question about who he should insure his Nissan Z32 through.

Then Mitch talks about the Takata airbag recall, and how the last 8% of owners with affected vehicles flatly refusing in many cases of getting it fixed, and Joseph talks about his old man's Hilux and a Toyota service centre refusing to install the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) cleaning button.

We have a new game! Matt has come up with a new game for us to play, which should be a regular segment for quite some time. The new game is called 'How Bout Dat'.

This first round of 'How Bout Dat' has us discussing Alfa-Romeo, Audi, BMW, and Chevrolet.
