Episode 201 - Ford? Holden? Forget them! Australia will make cars, utes, pickups, vans and SUVs again soon!

In this episode, Matt Campbell, Malcolm Flynn and Andrew Chesterton, talk all things motoring, including:

Australian motor vehicle manufacturing, and how it will be returning to the country sooner than you might think.
Due to a lockdown-induced lack of fresh metal we revisit memorable driving experiences, featuring: a massive list of the Australian made cars the guys have owned and loved.

You can get in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter (#CGPodcast) and Instagram, and tell us if you have a special, locally made car in your automotive history by emailing us at comments@carsguide.com.au

You can subscribe to the CarsGuide podcast on iTunes, find us on TuneIn, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Whooshkaa, and, naturally, the CarsGuide website.
