Hosted by Matt Riddel and David Hirji, these two best friends of over a decade share their thoughts focusing on Cars and Watches…and some other things will come up, but don’t judge. We all digress once in a while! The point is that this is a podcast about cars and watches but who knows with these guys. Intro….Matt, who’s passion for all things Automotive, particularly #Porsche, is matched by David’s enthusiasm for watches…and Porsches. They compare timepieces to cars, feature #watchoftheweek and #caroftheweek , and try to learn something along the way.

Episode 44 drops, and the boys get into it...and some light tech difficulties, but you wouldn't know if we didn't tell you!
David gives a 1-week review of his new Tudor Pelagos, which sparks some discussion about a Black Bay Chrono Panda Dial and what the Tudor market is looking like today.
This leads Matt and David to talk about potential negotiation tactics with new watches and cars. Likely wishful thinking, or maybe not as the world's supplies no longer seem as abysmal and consumers may have some bartering power again.
They discover that David's previously unrevealed tastes are so bad when it comes to some car characteristics, that he could metaphorically bite into a raw white onion and eat it like a damn apple!
Finally, the Depreciator segment returns with a look at grossly depreciated luxury SUVs.  Will Matt win again or can Hirji even the playing field?
Enjoy!

Episode 43 kicks off with the boys talking about "the Un-publishables"....a proposed segment where they release their previously recorded stuff in an effort to completely abandon their audience.  Fortunately, this is a short-lived thought.
Wanting to celebrate Women more on the show, Matt and David each provide a profile of women pioneers in both Motorsports and Watchmaking. First up, Matt takes you through an understanding of Susie Wolff's career - from growing up in a Motorcycle dealership in Oban, to spearheading the biggest shift in Formula 1 when it comes to breaking gender-stereotypes.  Then, David walks through the impact that Women have had in watchmaking for decades - primarily behind the scenes - and now in the spotlight.  From the young women whom hand assembled timepieces, to those who are now thought leaders in horology and watch design.
A new segment, The Depreciator starts with the boys each picking a Luxury 4 door sedan with the greatest depreciation in less than 12 years.
Enjoy!

Well....get a load of this!  In this week's episode, Matt takes a swing and provides a brief understanding of the 911 Turbo's inception and a look at the variations before they became liquid-cooled.  The guys recap a visit to the Tudor boutique in Vancouver and David's latest acquisition...including its current status.
Matt starts a new segment, The Depreciator, where the boys look for the greatest depreciation in cars and watches over a loosely suggested time...or something like that. Starting with a 2017 Rolls Royce Wraith Black Badge that recently sold on BaT.
Enjoy!

In episode 41, the boys are live in Vancouver and have a lot to talk about!
First up, David profiles a new Bvlgari Octo Finnissimo - now available as a Skeleton case in Titanium.  Could this be a contender against a AP Royal Oak? Cars, Cars, and more cars....eventually.  Matt and David talk about profiling more brands and price points for cars in the future.  Then, Matt gets into the weeds on his new business venture and some thoughts on how the Automobile can be a means to give back to the community. Finally, a look at the 996/997 listings on FB Marketplace to see what "driver grade" cars are available as well as a look at a 2-owner 1997 Bentley Turbo R listed for just $25K CAD.
Enjoy!
 

Tuesday Feb 20, 2024

Back for episode 40, the boys reconvene over a couple of beers and get right into a quietly reported story about VW group cars being held in North American ports.  Using embargoed parts to make up other parts is frowned upon....allegedly.  This was like winding up the organ to get them talking about Dealership woes and what sets good dealers apart from bad ones.
Then, Matt brings up a recent patent filed by Rolex for a new ceramic Black/Red bezel, hinting at a new "Coke" GMT.  Furthermore, they discuss the findings that making a Blue bezel with the newer ceramic seems impossible at the moment, thus rendering a "Batman" or "Pepsi" GMT even more sought after.
A modern classic BMW 1M gets showcased, currently listed on Bring-a-Trailer.  And the boys check out a new Sheffield watch/watch bundle available in 4 classic Porsche colours, before taking a solid look at the new Rolls Royce Spectre. A MASSIVE lux coupe fitting of its silk-like EV drivetrain.
Enjoy!
 

Tuesday Feb 13, 2024

Crew show!! Back at it, Matt and David dive immediately into the flurry of F1-related news and memes in the last week - Hamilton to Ferrari, Haas ousts Gunther, Horner investigation, etc.  This leads to discussing a new Tudor BB Ceramic shown off by Daniel Riccardo this week and reaffirms the boy's Tudor love.
Matt asks: what could Rolex release that would be reflective of heritage and hype to make an impact in 2024?  Catipolting the conversation to Zenith and the ties between these two brands with the always coveted Daytona.
Then, Matt drops that he quit his job this week to pursue a new venture in the auto industry before the boys revisit the discussion of the new Macan EV and clarify a couple of items from their previous episode.
Enjoy!

Tuesday Jan 30, 2024

Bryan, aka @manuell_996 on Instagram, returns to catch up and boy is there a lot to talk about.
Starting with our collective disdain for the Cybertruck and the marketing gimmicks that leave us rolling our eyes, it leads us to talk about the new Macan EV launch and what we think.  In which, Matt drops a bomb that he'd rather have a particular EV from Korea instead of a Macan....wait, what?!?!
The MoonSwatch comes up again as the three discuss this week's Snoopy teaser from Swatch and what it could (obviously will) mean for a future release. Don't worry, they all have MoonSwatches so they've earned the right to an opinion.  But they draw some interesting parallels between the MoonSwatch and 996 gen 911s or 986 Boxters.
The Air-Water road trip planning starts with some thoughts on staying a day in the bay area and paying a visit to FD Motorsports (www.fdmotorsports.net) to Matt's exhaust upgrade; then finally touch on some listener questions and address Gunther Steiner's exit as Team Principle from Haas GP.
Enjoy!

Tuesday Jan 23, 2024

We're shifting gears (see what we did there), as we agree too damn much!  So we'll lean in on our tastes and find the beauty in contrast. 
But first we announce Air-Water ( www.air-water.com ) for those that aren't already aware, and our plans for attending the event in Costa Mesa this spring.  That chews up a chunk of the episode before we digress into profiling a very high-spec Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera 4 S (C4S) currently for sale in Calgary.
Enjoy!

Tuesday Jan 09, 2024

Ahhhh....first pod of 2024!  Like a breath of fresh air to bring on the new year, we're back to provide you with another dose of ear candy!
We riff on a new, off-roader from Audi - the Q8 e-tron Dakar Edition.  Who is this car for and, more importantly, would you buy one?
The Porsche 911R Market gets a much-needed correction after the sale of a high-spec, low milage variation from the White Collection, as we found a proper example on BaT reflecting reality.
Finally, the discussion of Hype Watches and what drives enthusiasm, design and creativity in the watch culture over the past year; what does this lead to in 2024 and beyond?
Enjoy!! 

Best of 2023! Bring on 2024!!!

Tuesday Jan 02, 2024

The boys wrap up 2023, recapping their favourite watches and cars that dropped last year. 
Spoiler: the 911 S/T - S/Till S/Tealing our hears and minds, even if it's unobtainium....for now ;) 
The Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto gets additional praise, along with some new variations of vintage watches from Tag Heuer; the Lotus Emira will remain the best alternative to Porsches's 718 GTS 4.0.
The (un)Official 0to60Radio Grand Tour is announced - It's just Matt and David travelling to Air/Water in SoCal in late April.  But if you'd like to convoy, let the boys know!!
Thanks for listening and we look forward to bringing ample ear candy for you in 2024!!
