Cars, wine and Roscoe Podcast artwork

Two best friends, who happen to be motoring journalists, chat about cars while drinking wine. Roscoe is the Boston Terrier who keeps interrupting so he had to be included in the title of the podcast. My name is Juliet Mc Guire and my co-host is Terence Steenkamp. Together we have over 20 years’ experience in the motoring industry. Basically, we know our shit. Not so much about wine on the other hand, we just really love to drink it. Note: Do not drink and drive! Ever!

Is this our last episode ever? Time will tell. But we got to drink Rising Rivers Sauv Blanc and talk about the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. We also delve in to whether you should replace your good car or not, eight years on. It's an emotional time for Juliet.

Jules is back from nappy duties! To celebrate, we take generous gulps of Neil Ellis Sauvignon Blanc and Zorgvliet's Silver Myn Rosé while waywardly discussing the new Suzuki Vitara Brezza. This week's listener question has us somewhat stumped: which used car would you buy for R70k? Our tips are helpful ... sort of. Happy listening!

With Juliet knee-deep in nappies, this week our mutual friend and all-round excellent American, Matty Carty, joins Terence in the pod booth.

Mahindra Pik Up Karoo

We might not be able to buy wine, but that doesn't mean we aren't drinking lots of it. Just old stock, is all. We chat about the Mahindra Pik Up Karoo and Terence tries to throw us off with his advice question. Spoiler alert: we nail the tips this week.

Cars, wine and Roscoe episode 26

Dec 10 2020 33 mins

We are full-blown celeb status now with wine being delivered to us, thank you Rascallion! We squeezed the Toyota Agya and Kia Rio in to this episode and discussed whether it's worth waiting for a facelifted car or buying now. Jam-packed is an understatement.

Cars, wine and Roscoe episode 23

Oct 26 2020 35 mins

It's cause for celebration when we discover a lovely wine at a great price! This week, we indulge in Boschheuvel's 2019 rosé, an easy-drinking delight at a cost that won't raise an eyebrow. Talking about value for money, our car of the week is the new Seltos Diesel from one of our favourites, Kia, and we chat about what to consider when entering the classic car market.
