Gears and Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

We are back for episode 150! You guys asked for it, so it's a drunken episode.

Not sure what else to say, it's a hell of a ride though.

We talked about some news, I think, we talked about cars, I think, all I know for sure is that we argued and that there was beer and we all had our fair share.

Thanks for all the support, it means the world to us.

Cheers to the next 150!

We are back for episode 149! Mitch got his PC going again, so we were able to record and get this episode out!

We start off this week with Mitch explaining what went wrong with his PC before we break into the news.

This week, we talk about Supercars going to Bathurst twice in the new revised 2020/21 series.

We then talk about Adelaide-based Hypercar manufacturer Brabham delivering their first BT62 to a UK buyer, before we talk about the absolute abortion that is the Ford Bronco Sport.

Then we talk about a Queensland Senator tongue-in-cheek offering to buy Holden off of General Motors for $1 Dollarydoo, and the Alpina XB7.

Joseph then talks about the game of musical chairs being played at Formula 1.

We then discuss the gen-3 Toyota MR2 Spider, and how they're actually aging rather well and they're going through their own Porsche 996 revival.

We then end on a new game dreamt up by Matthew, where Matt gives us a car to defend, and the other has to explain why that car is garbage.

Next week we're doing the drunken 150th episode! Get KEEN!

We're sorry that this episode's a smidge late, however, better late than never!

This week we kick off with news about rumoured engine updates for the next Toyota GT86 / Subaru BRZ, that they will get the FA24 2.4L Subaru Boxer engine, however, that they won't get a turbocharger.

Matt then gets us talking about the renders that have been released for the Toyota Hilux facelift, and a bit about the hybridisation of the to-be 300 Series Landcruiser.

We then talk about product placement in movies and television shows.

Ford has officially killed off the next-gen Focus RS due to the difficulties making it emissions legal for the European market, which gets us talking about how idiots shouldn't be allowed to drive proper cars, and Mitch solves international conflict.

Mitch then talks about the new Mercedes AMG A45 S, which causes a wee bit of an argument.

Joseph then talks about Porsche offering Apple Car Play compatible infotainment units for 'classic' Porsche 911's.

Matt then talks about Lexus killing off the Lexus GS, and we talk about why you would want to upgrade to a Lexus from a well-specced Camry.

We then actually talk about what beverages we're enjoying this week, just to mix things up.

We then talk about the current-gen Mustang winning sportscar of the year.

Then we talk about Nissan officially pulling out of Supercars, and General Motors pulling out, only leaving Ford in the game, so we'll see how this turns out, but it doesn't look good for Supercars, and Mclaren shareholders propping up the mark.

We then end on a quick game of The Cool Wall.

We are back with another episode to keep you somewhat entertained during this Coronavirus nonsense.

This week, we kick off with a bit of nonsense before cracking on and talking about Sir Stirling Moss passing away at the age of 90yrs last week. Something we learned about 10 minutes after we uploaded last weeks episode. So, we dedicate a fair bit to talk about his extensive motor racing career.

We then talk a bit about the next Nissan Zed-car, rumoured to be a 400Z which would imply it will have a 4.0L engine.

Then Matt talks about the new Ford Focus RS more than likely not coming to Australia; though Ford Australia is determined for it to come here.

Matt then talks about Mazda probably borrowing BMW's inline 6 and drivetrain for the new Mazda 6, and probably partnering up with Toyota to develop Mazda's next sports car.

Matt then brings up CarSales' article on the top 10 Drift cars for under $10k.

Joseph then goes through the list of the top10 cars sold in Australia in the year 2000, and there's one car, in particular, that was an absolute blast from the past.

Mitch then talks about what's been happening to his Hilux lately.

Then we answer a question from James and talk about mad imported cars for sale.

Then we end with 'The Cool Wall.'

Joseph then asks us what new car we'd buy for $250,000 dollarydoos, which devolves into us talking about what used cars we'd buy within that budget too. Joseph then brings up a Frankenstein Mini Moke.... with the Ferrari F136 V8 engine out of a Maserati for $250,000 AUD.

We are back for episode 143! We hope you're all staying safe and well during this Corona stuff.

We start off this by arguing about food, weirdly enough, before Joseph and Mitch rag on Matt for not being able to speak English correctly.

We kick off the news this week with a bit of automotive news from America, and Mitch forgets about Ford's V6 Twin Turbo existing.

Matt then rants about Subaru and then rants about people's claiming their cat-back exhaust adds power to turbo cars (without doing the dump).

Matt and Joseph then talk absolute trash about how they're 'over beer' before Matt talks about Tesla's new ute, and how he's wanting a Honda S660.

Mitch then talks about what he's done to his Integra (Shitegra).

We then revive an old favourite game that we used to play a minute ago; The Cool Wall.

Toyota has announced pricing for the Toyota Gazoo Racing Yaris for England, from which we can try and extrapolate a guestimation of price for Australian pricing.

Then Matt talks about what he's done to his Subaru this week, and Michael gives his thoughts on driving his folk's 2012 BMW X5.

We then question why Americans love their "trucks" being so goddamn large.

We then play a game, another nameless game, where Matt asked Ben to find 3 cars above $60,000 and the rest of us have to guess what they are.

Then we throw it out to you, where you guys have to send us in 3 cars, ad we have to guess what they are [Mitch's note: Not sure how this will actually work, now that I think about it].
