- Plug With A Thumb; The Toyota Supra Episode
SUPRA! SUPRA! SUPRA!
This is our first podcast episode of 2019 that we actually recorded in 2019, and there’s a bit of news this week, and it’s GOOD news ladies and gentlemen! The new Toyota Supra has been OFFICIALLY launched at the Detroit Auto Show.
We bang on about the new Supra, and the BMW Z4, for a fair bit this episode, and it was a lot of fun (there may have been multiple Great Northern’s had #SponsorUsToo).We then move onto a few other cars, the Subaru WRX STI S209 (US only), Cadillac’s new electric SUV (again, US only), autonomous cars at CES 2019, the Ford GT500 being imported into Australia by Mustang Motorsports, and then we argue about ADR laws.Then Joseph talks about the woes of his AP Racing Big Brake Kit’s wheel fitment with his RPF1’s.Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, rate us on iTunes and Spotify!http://www.gearsandbeersmedia.com

We're back with episode 78, once again joined by Ben of the Pencil's Ballercast podcast, the Christmas Eve episode. We start off thanking everyone for listening to our bollocks before starting off with the news.
Ben starts off the discussions with talking about a Subaru concept before we let him know our thoughts on concept cars (we don't like them).
Then he goes through Motoring.com.au's top 5 most popular reviews on their website, and we talk about the cars listed, with our usual tangents.
Mitch then talks about Hyundai introducing fingerprint recognition in their vehicles.
Joseph then talks about Carwow's Mat Watson's comparison between the Lexus LFA and the LC 500.

Then Matt challenges the panel that Volkswagen Automotive Group is the greatest manufacturer.
Then Ben talks about Toyota potentially bringing back the MR2 in partnership with Subaru, then going back on the previous topic, we think that it could be a WW2 Axis/Allies thing when it comes to quality of cars.
We then end on Matt talking about his new-to-him offroad trailer, which will get a good workout for our New Years break.
