It’s the original trio this week for episode 63. First this week, we talk about Ford and the 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500 dropping the manual from the options list.

Read More E60: Celine DionSuzuki Jimny Ruined by Liberty Walk
The Japanese tuning house Liberty Walk has turned their attention from supercars to the new Suzuki Jimny… And I hate it. I’m not sure who asked for it, but I am certain that a few too many Sapporo’s were involved. Liberty Walk is best known for making widebody kits for Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s and Nissan GTR’s, so […]

Where to start with this week’s episode, it’s a glorious blend of beer-induced insanity and brilliance, topped with a healthy serving of bollocks and a side of ridiculous.

Read More E53: The Problem with Aston MartinE52: Paint It Black
We’re a day late due to State of Origin was on Sunday night delaying the upload (we weren’t going to skip on Origin, don’t be ridiculous!). This week is the return of Mr. Michael Trewsy Trew, who hasn’t been a guest on the show for almost a year. There’s not much news this week, so we talk about our eBay […]

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 […]
Read More E51: Screwed The PoochE50: Lively Young Horse
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 […]
Read More E50: Lively Young HorseE49: Cars, Beer, and RM’s – The Lost Episode
Matt managed to recover episode 49 after GarageBand’s complete and utter failure, which is why this week’s episode is late.

Read More E49: Cars, Beer, and RM’s – The Lost EpisodeE48: Going The Full Rolf Harris
We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming this week with episode 48!

While Mitch searches for cars, Joseph talks about a bit […]
Read More E48: Going The Full Rolf HarrisE47: B-B-B-B-B-Bonus Round!
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. […]
Read More E47: B-B-B-B-B-Bonus Round!E46: The Bold and the Beautiful
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 […]
Read More E46: The Bold and the BeautifulE45: Matt Fiddled With It
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.

Read More E45: Matt Fiddled With ItE44: Don’t Smoke Winnies, Kids!
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 […]

Mitch was given $25,000 with […]
Read More E43: His ‘n’ HersE42: Crack A Tinnie And Neck It
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 […]
Read More E42: Crack A Tinnie And Neck ItE41: The Dog’s Breakfast
After a technical hitch with the upload, and better late than never, episode 41 is here! This week we discuss Pagani claiming they’re ending Huayra production with the L’Ultimo.

We’ve made it to the big 4-0! This week, we discuss the news, we play ‘Finders Fee‘, and Joel (rent-a-crowd) has his motorcycle minute (which turns into more than a minute), a new challenge has been put forward by Matt, and of course our usual banter. Firstly, Mitch gives Joseph his budget for the 3 […]

We are back for episode 39 of Gears and Beers. This week, we talk our usual shit, children’s movies, cars, and beer.

Matt then gives […]
Read More E39: Milton Mangoes Down SouthE38: Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am
This is an exciting episode for Gears and Beers, as we have upgraded our audio quality considerably. We have gone from a single Rode NT-USB with us 4 huddled around it, to a Rode Procaster each, connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface, recorded with Garageband. We’re still tweaking the setup, but we think […]

On this week’s episode of Gears and Beers, we play Matt’s ‘What about this Car?’, Joel’s ‘Motorcycle Minute‘ returns, Joseph’s brings back his ‘Automotive Word Association‘, and of course our usual eloquent bullshittery and tangents. This week’s ‘What about this Car‘ is the Toyota MR2 Spyder, which while we all agree it is not the MR2 you […]
Read More E37: Junk In The FrunkE36: Whippin’ Round in a Pink Corvette
We’re back for episode 36! It was Geneva International Motor Show this week, so we had much news to talk about, plus many arguments and tangents are to be found in this episode. Mitch has finally found an electric car that he likes, and the other guys hate it; the Honda Urban EV. We then talk […]
Read More E36: Whippin’ Round in a Pink CorvetteE35: I’ve got the PHEV…
After week off, we are back and with a fancy new intro and outro thanks to Robert Lee, a voice many of you I’m sure will instantly recognise.

Read More E34: Death By Snu SnuE33: Tingle in the Pringle
Better late than never, here’s episode 33. It’s been a bit of a crazy week for the Gears and Beers crew… And not in the best way. I’m sure we’ll discuss the events in episode 34. This week is tangent city, more so than usual, believe it or not. First topic of the blocks is Nissan’s facelift […]
