Kickin' Tyres

"It’s a sore subject—I don’t want to talk about it." Welcome to the official teaser for Kickin’ Tyres, the brand-new motoring podcast hosted by veteran journalists Adam Gray and Tim Barnes-Clay.

In this teaser, we dive into the irony of our name—starting with Adam’s encounter with a pothole the size of a "trench" and Tim’s harrowing story of hitting a diesel spill on a 995cc motorbike. We discuss why the sun-drenched roads of the Algarve are surprisingly similar to the pothole-ridden lanes of Britain, and why, despite the bent alloys, we wouldn’t change this job for the world.

• The Algarve vs. The UK: Comparing road quality (and the lack thereof).
• The Irony of "Kickin' Tyres": Adam’s recent battle with a "trench-sized" pothole.
• A Close Call: Tim shares a frightening experience on a roundabout.
• The Hosts: Meet the duo bringing decades of automotive journalism to your ears.

The full podcast launches in the next couple of weeks! Make sure to subscribe and follow us so you don't miss the first official episode. We’ll be available on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
