Pint of Petrol

This week's episode is a special edition of A Pint of Petrol... to celebrate the day of love (pass the bucket), Tim's wife has been given several automotive questions about him... but Tim has no idea what she has answered or said about him.
Much to Ian's delight. 
Sit back as this is a good one... back at the pub, talking Harlequin VWs, end parking spaces, Radio 4, Land Rover Monthly and many other automotive things, all with a beer in hand. 
Marvellous.

This week, the boys aren't at the pub (again)... instead, they are visiting one of the largest indoor RC car racing events in the UK... the 2026 MKGP.
This isn't a bunch of blokes playing with toys, either. Oh no, the British Off Road Grand Prix brings 430 competitors from all over the world for three days of high speed, highly competitive racing right in the centre of the MK:Centre. 
So, what do the boys make of these 1/10 scale electric off-road RC buggies, truggies and trucks? Well both have raced in their youth, so enjoy this special trip down memory lane.

This week, the boys aren't drinking beer... they're not even in the pub! But, don't worry, they are still talking cars. In fact, this week, they are talking about one very important car... the iconic Land Rover Defender. 
It's now been an entire decade since the very last Defender - classic style anyway - rolled off the production line. Today, it remains as popular as ever and is still a recognisable icon to this very day. So, what stories do the boys have on this global legend? 
Grab your coffee, as we are about to find out.

This week, the boys are in a different pub but don't worry, thats the only change...
In this episode, Tim has gone all giddy for the World Rally Championship with WRC Monte Carlo. Ian's Land Rover is back on the road (at last).
There is also worrying - or annoying - news that some Tesla drivers are NOT being fined for speeding AND a host of cars have pick up awards at the annual WhatCar? awards. Oh and there is a new Bugatti, too, the one-off FKP. 
All this and more - including a rather naughty confession from Ian - is in this episode of A Pint of Petrol.

After eight weeks, the boys are back! And Ian is going to explain why there hasn't been an episode of A Pint of Petrol since November last year...
In this episode, Ian explains how he managed to crashed Hank, his beloved Land Rover 110, Tim reveals he has acquired yet another car and Willow fails to get comfy. 
Yep, we're all back at the pub so sit back, pour a cold one and enjoy your latest episode of A Pint of Petrol!

Welcome to this special episode of A Pint of Petrol, where Tim catches up with Paul Oxborough, founder of Mental Health Motorbike, the charity that aims to put a Mental Health First Aider in every town and city across the UK.
Tim has supported this charity since 2024, proudly wearing their brand on his shirts at every show and event he presents. As of 23 November 2025, the charity has trained more than 1,100 Mental Health First Aiders.
This is a very special episode that talks openly about Mental Health and the issues surrounding it. 
Recorded at Motorcycle Live in November 2025.

This week, the boys are talking about car films and films about cars. There have been plenty over the years, but which really stand out and why? Well, Tim and Ian discuss all in this week's episode HOWEVER... there is a bit of a problem...
Despite owning several vehicles, Ian doesn't have a single one he can use to get to the pub... so the boys have turned back the close to 2020 and are recording this episode remotely. 
Will they get the whole episode done in time... or will the video call end too soon... time to find out...
ACTION!

This week, the boys are looking through the Iconic Auctioneers catalogue ahead of the NEC Classic Motor Show and there is one car that Tim might be bidding on... genuinely.
Join the boys in the pub garden for one last time before British Summer Time ends for the year... they've got hundreds of lots to look through but will there be a bidding war? Tim has set an imaginary budget of £250,000, what will the boys buy? One mega car or lots of lesser ones?
Well, there is one car that's got Tim talking to finance companies...

2025 has been one of the busiest years for car shows, bike meets and military festivals with the boys attending more than 50 events between them. Was it the best year ever for events? 
Well, there has been plenty of highs and very few lows so the boys are taking a look back over the season. 
This week's episode is a bit different, too... Ian doesn't have a working car so the boys are in Ian's kitchen drinking tinnies, with his dog Clover.

It's a sign of the times when Volvo, the daddy of the estate car, stops production of one of it's most iconic models and Ferrari, arguably the chapel of Internal Combustion, is going all electric... 
This week, the boys take a trip down memory lane and look at the heritage of the Volvo estate, looking back at where it all started right to present day. And Tim is way too excited about the technical details of the new Ferrari Elettrica, the brands first all-electric car. 
Plus Ian's Monza is back from the paint shop. Is he happy with it? Have a listen to find out.
