Redline Republic | Automotive and Car Culture Talk

This week on the Redline Republic Podcast, we're talking about the cars that deserve to make a comeback, from DC2 Integras and Mk4 Golfs to classic Volkswagens and everything in between.
We also react to a €20,000 automatic Lexus IS200 that's listed for sale and ask the question... has the used car market completely lost the plot?
On top of that, we dive into Marketplace madness, modified car prices, the struggle of finding a good exhaust fabricator, insurance, Garda stories, and plenty of listener comments.
Let us know in the comments:
What car deserves to be brought back, and what's the most overpriced car you've seen for sale?

If you could only own ONE car brand for the rest of your life... what would you choose?
In Episode 23 of the Redline Republic Podcast, we put Toyota and BMW head-to-head to build the ultimate dream garage. From JZX100s and Land Cruisers to E36s, M3s and M5s, we debate which manufacturer we'd choose if we could only drive one forever.
We also chat about the cars that first got us hooked on the automotive world, why older cars are often the most fun to drive, motorcycles, and share a few more "allegedly" stories...

This week on the Redline Republic Podcast we're back after a packed weekend of motorsport, road trips and questionable decisions.
We kick things off with a recap of the Donegal Rally weekend before moving on to one of the biggest Driftmasters events we've seen in a long time. We discuss Connor Falvey's incredible run, Dave Egan's breakthrough performance, and why Mondello was absolutely buzzing from start to finish.
We also dive into K11 Micras, Starlets, MX-5s, modern performance cars, hybrid technology, why so many new cars seem to be losing their identity, and whether manufacturers have completely forgotten how to design a good-looking car.
As always, we work our way through your comments, answer your questions, and somehow end up discussing insurance, conspiracy theories, and the future of the Irish car scene.
Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast.

In Episode 21 of the Redline Republic Podcast, we get into the state of modern cars and ask the question: what happened to car design?
We discuss whether new cars are actually getting uglier, the rise of slab days, the future of the Irish drift scene, and whether there will ever be a true replacement for the Lexus IS200. We also talk about buying your first car, building vs buying modified cars, Snap-On tool debt, CB radios, and plenty more along the way.
As always, expect plenty of opinions, questionable takes, and the usual automotive tangents.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments:
Are modern cars getting worse?

What car could replace the IS200?

Are slab days worth it?

Would you build your first car or buy one already modified?
