    £50 - To Look At That Junk?

    Max wants to charge £50 to enter his fantasy car museum. Matt thinks it sounds terrible. A random collection of wedgy classics, chips and Max's holiday snaps. Matt reckons his prima collection of Italian headturners (half the entry price at £25) will be miles better. Cue - a row about who's right and who's wrong. Also, this episode, hear more about the big Stag saga and why Matt's now a bit nervous about driving it. And the boys get accused of being materialistic about owning classics, rather than loving them. The cheek of it! Hear about this and much more in this latest episode. Hit play and lose yourself in 40 mins of great classic car chat.

    He's Had A Breakdown!

    It's a Stag, it was always going to happen, says Max. But Matt's been in recovery after a suspected head gasket failure. Listen to the what, why and HOW MUCH?! as the car goes on the low loader. Also this episode, from lust to loathing, what are the emotional stages of owning a classic car? The boys talk it through with their usual dollop of healthy disrespect for each other.

    Bored of the Rings?

    Question - where have all the Audis gone? In this latest Tyre Kickers episode, Max and Matt ask where are all the classic Audis? Show us your C3 Audi 100, because we can't find any. Plus Matt's found a museum in Spain where the owners must have been drunk when choosing their exhibits, Max thinks he's broken a World Record and they look at the results of the latest classic car auction at Carfest.

    Rock & Ruin

    Don't listen to this episode if you have a modern stereo in your classic car! There is a small risk of being offended as Max and Matt finally agree on something...modern radios are rubbish. Plus Max admits he might be slightly less correct about four cylinder Mercs, Matt goes sniffing around some Alfas and they have a major difference of opinion on the Rover SD1. Warning: This latest edition of the Tyrekickers may offend if you've spent £14 on your in car entertainment.   Send us Fan Mail Follow us on Instagram: @thetyrekickersuk Facebook: The Tyre Kickers Finalist - Independent Podcast Awards 2024 & 2025

    Super Cool Mercedes Pillarless Coupes

    You're Full Of Hot Air!

    Is a 20-year old classic better than a dull new car? Is a cheap Jag Mk2 a smarter buy than an expensive E-Type? Is it currently too warm in the UK to drive a classic convertible? And why is Max spouting more hot air than normal? Plus you tell us if classics make you look cool. It's all in Episode 60 of the Tyre Kickers, with extra bonus bickering!
