Gears and Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

Somehow, we're made it to one year of episodes! We'd like to give all listeners a huge thank you, whether you've been here from the start, or only yesterday. Thank you for joining us on our bollocks and shenanigans.

We start off by giving an update on each of our respective vehicles from when we started the podcast, Mitch and Matt have named the Project Prado, and Joel has turned into a bogan with his acquisition of a VT Commodore.

Joseph talks about the aero updates to Formula 1 for the 2019 season.

We then reflect on the two big stories from when we recorded our first episode, the announcement of the Porsche GT2 RS, and the Kia Stinger.

Mitch talks about the Australian Mazda MX5 ND getting the updates that the Japanese version is getting.

Then Matt talks about maps...

Joseph briefly talks about the new 8 Series, before moving on to him a

We made it to episode 50, it's hard to believe we've come this far, and still no end in sight.

The first thing we talk about is Mitch's mistake from Tuesday night. While it wasn't fatal, it wasn't fun for Mitch.

We then talk about video games, specifically Forza Horizon 4 following the E3 2018 announcement.

Mitch then talks about the 70 Years of Porsche event at Porsche Centre Brisbane on Saturday.

Then Joseph talks about the Porsche 911 Speedster Concept, which is absolutely stunning.

Mitch then changes gear, and talks about Porsche, just for something different. Porsche has named their Mission E, the Taycan.

Then Joseph talks about the engine update

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. The cars must be front wheel drive.

While Mitch searches for cars, Joseph talks about a bit news.

The first piece of news this week is that Dodge will be brining back the Viper in 2021.

NSW gets new Highway Patrol cars

The last piece of news is the new F150 Raptor being updated for 2019.

Then Mitch breifly talks about the pricing for the new 2018 Renault Megane RS

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;

1.  2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat
2. Mack Trident (truck)
3. 2017 Audi RS6 Advant
4. 2017 Range Rover Sport

Matt 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.

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 $200,000.00

The 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. Joseph brings up HSV importing the Chevy Camaro, and how disappointing it is that we Australians will only get it with the 10 speed automatic.

Mitch then rants about WhichCar.com.au's bastardisation of Wheels, Motor, Street Machine, 4x4 Australia, and Unique Cars.

We then talk a bit about 86 meets, Subaru gold wheels, and Simpsons memes, and talking about ugly cars; particularly SsangYong, and Joseph impresses all with his Stutututu.

We then do Joel's 'Motorcycle Minute' in which he talks about Erik Buell, some motorcycle guy.

We finally get onto 'Finder's Fee', Mitch gave Joseph a budget of $35,0

A day late, but for good reason you'll hear about next episode.

This is the third, and last, episode in the three-in-one-night episode marathon to cover us while Joseph is in Japan.

First topic, Joseph finally gets a chance to talk about the Netflix show 'Fastest Car', and on the whole he was positive about it. 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!

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;

1. 1979 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40
2. 2001 Honda S2000
3. 2013 Subaru WRX

And 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.

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... But you'll find out for yourself in a couple weeks' time.

This week, we start off talking about what Joseph plans to while in Japan, and transition into talking about Honda S660's.

Then Mitch wants to talk about birds, and specifically their bathroom habbits.

We then discuss what the madman John Hennessey and his team have done to Jeep's Cherokee Trackhawk.

We then tangent off of the Trackhawk to talk about the Corvette and whether or not it's a track car or a muscle car or a super car.

Then we briefly talk about Porsche's sub
