Author: ROADSTERSHOP April 13, 2026 Duration: 2:03:35

Adam Rogash of MPW Performance joins the guys all the way from Australia to talk horsepower, car culture, and what makes the Aussie scene so different from the US.

From growing up influenced by American car culture to building one of Australia’s top performance shops, Adam breaks down where the obsession with big power comes from and why the rules (or lack of them) shape how cars get built across the world.

We get into MPW’s growth, building high-level cars in a smaller market, and what it takes to put together a solid team in today’s industry. Plus, everything he’s been up to while in the US, from tuning sessions to collabs with some of the biggest names in the performance world.


There’s a certain alchemy that happens when raw mechanical passion meets the kind of relaxed, behind-the-scenes conversation usually reserved for a garage late at night. That’s the atmosphere you’ll find on Oil and Whiskey with Roadster Shop. Hosted by Jeremy Gerber, Phil Gerber, and Josh Henning, this podcast pulls back the curtain on the world of high-end custom muscle cars and chassis building straight from the experts who do it every day. You’re not just getting a polished show; you’re getting a seat at the bench in their shop. Episodes dive into the nitty-gritty details of current builds, break down emerging technology and techniques, and swap stories from the road and major events. It’s a mix of practical tips, industry news, and the unfiltered insights that come from a team with decades of collective experience. Whether you’re deep into a project of your own or just appreciate the craft, this podcast connects the dots between hard work and the camaraderie that fuels it. Tune in for genuine shop talk that feels like hanging out with the crew.
