Gears and Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast episodes

  • We're Sorry
    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!

  • Celine Dion - The One From Titanic
    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.

  • General Hoonery
    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!

  • The Original OG Trio
    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.

  • The Automotive Equivalent of Flat Earthing
    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.

  • Fisting Hard and Pulling
    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 [email protected] #cars #news #suzuki #mazda #subaru #carnews #carpodcast #australian
