We're back! Max has had a breakdown - in something even more unreliable than his old Porsche 912. Also on the show - let's make brown great again! What's happened to all the brown cars? Plus - it's a hard knock life. We look at the sub-povvo spec of old car-based vans. No heated seats and CarPlay for the tradies of old. They were lucky to have wind-up windows and a steering wheel. All that, plus your thoughts, comments and corrections. Hit play and enjoy the chat! Send a text Follow us on Ins...
In Episode 48, Max and Matt discuss the best car for looking ten years younger. So what are the perfect wheels for that mid fifties midlife crisis? Also, we look at the 70s super sports car that blew the Brits out of the rusty water, the Datsun 240Z. Plus should you have a set of cars? Max tries to persuade Matt to complement his Stag with the Triumph 2000 saloon and estate - three Michelotti designs in one. Max thinks they're cool. Matt isn't so sure. Hit play and hear the debate!

The boys are back for Season 3! Max and Matt discuss the snobbery of British car buyers opting for coach built specials made from run of the mill models.

How come we’re not fussed by fast Fords? Should we save or crush that dumpy Mini rival, the Hillman Imp? And is it weird to get hung up about classic car interiors?

Lots of people look like they can fix their classic cars. But we don't look like two of them. So we grabbed the editor of Practical Classics magazine to ask him for help and advice. Can we - and should we - fix our own cars? Or are we beyond hope? Send a text Follow us on Instagram: @thetyrekickersuk Facebook: The Tyre Kickers Finalist - Independent Podcast Awards 2024 & 2025
A Tyre Kickers podcast auction special at the NEC Classic Motor Show. Max and Matt pick some lots, argue, then guess the price the cars will fetch. A few days later, they meet up to see what the cars sold for and who was closest to the hammer price. Answer? Neither of them, really. Listen to some live tyre kicking and bickering as we plumb the depths of our classic car knowledge.

It's a flippin' new bonus episode of the Tyrekickers...this time a Trade Talks special with Sam Grange Bailey from Southern Cars.

We've only gone and made the finals again for the Independent Podcast Awards! So bouyed up, we've made an extended - hour long - version of the show. We'll ask - is there anything wrong with driving a fake Cobra? Why are old car ads cool and modern ones so awful?

Plus we'll talk 70s wedges, auctions and ask - have we got a hope in hell at the awards show? H...
The boys are back and Max is flippin' furious at dealers who try and flip classics for a big profit. We do a serious piece of consumer journalism by trying to spot the differences between a Stag and an SL. We ask if automobilia is cool or just retro clutter?

Bonus Episode! Max and Matt go head to head with their own cars as Max's Mercedes SL takes on Matt's Triumph Stag.

The SL and Stag will be put through their paces in a full magazine style 70s showdown. Send a text Follow us on Instagram: @thetyrekickersuk Facebook: The Tyre Kickers Finalist - Independent Pod...
Why are some classics so ugly? How long should you warm up your car for? Can you feel the difference after a service? And as they’re so cheap, should we start giving an F about the MGF?

Matt's bought a Stag. So we'll be asking - what has he done and will he regret it? Also on the show - which classics have outlasted the rest and dodged the rust? We’ll be in the mailbag to hear your views on the people in classic car clubs and we’ll be knee-deep in the classifieds, saying - See It, Want It. So while Matt watches his temperature gauge like a hawk, press play to turn up the heat and get the wheels turning on Episode 37 of The Tyre Kickers. Send a text Follow us on Instagram...
Are classic car clubs cool or just full of passive aggressive nerds? What can you do to polish in some profit when you come to sell and what are your worst classic breakdowns?
