Pint of Petrol

This week, the boys are ranting about the sheer amount of entitlement that is in the modern world. 
You see, Tim published a review of the new Mini John Cooper Works and, as you can expect from him, it was balanced, well produced and looked at both the good and the bad. 
However, it seems this video has upset the internet with many people taking to the comments. One of which thought it was appropriate to post "You are too fat and too short to be on YouTube". Wow. 
Meanwhile, Ian has had a similar experience with some smart nobody telling him that his Range Rover - which was bought new by his grandfather - was not an original colour and that "it's a shame it's not original". Riiiiiight...
Why can't people just be nice?

In this week's episode of A Pint of Petrol, the boys are in Tim's garage fixing another one of his Calibras. This time, it's "Charlie-Four" which is leaking fuel. Will it be a simple fix or a total nightmare?
Meanwhile, the boys debug the wealth of mis-information about the National Motor Museum and Beaulieu - and how every Tom, Dick and Harry has been jumping on the story and spreading mis-information to for clickbait. 
Time to sort both out.

In this week’s episode of A Pint of Petrol, Tim is joined by 15-year-old racing driver Oscar Stockley-King at the Beaulieu Supercar Weekend.
With the public gone home, the pair have the venue almost entirely to themselves - giving Tim and Oscar the chance to talk openly and honestly about what it’s really like to race at such a young age, and the pressure that comes with competing in your mid-teens.
But first, Oscar has nabbed the keys to his dad’s Porsche 911 and is taking Tim on a private tour of the Beaulieu Supercar Weekend. With an incredible collection of supercars and hypercars on display, what will catch the eye of a 15-year-old racing driver?
Well… you might be surprised.
There’s one particular car that leaves both Oscar and Tim completely lost for words.

In this week's epsiode of A Pint of Petrol, the boys have got lots of news to cover, including the demise of one of the most popular cars in the world, the Volkswagen Golf Diesel. 
Not only that, but VW-Audi have announced they are culling half of the models from the portfolio - despite launching the new Audi A9 Flagship. 
Meanwhile, Land Rover has bought out the new GT and there is a new £1m Range Rover. Oh, and China is bringing a small "mid-engined" EV sportscar to the UK for sub £50k, claiming it is the car Lotus should have made. Fighting talk, so lets get stuck in.

This week, the boys are out at the Vauxhall Bedford Open Association National Rally and for the first time ever, a Pint of Petrol was recorded LIVE! Recorded earlier today with a pint in hand AND a special guest!
Joining Tim and Ian this week is Shaun Broadbent, Chairman of the VBOA, and he'll be sharing the story of the Association and the journey its been on over the last 10 years. 
The boys also talk about old and new cars, plus the return of the fast Vauxhall. 
Oh, and the WORST EVER outro is sung by Ian and Shaun... close your ears for that bit!

This week, the boys are fixing Tim's beloved Calibra Turbo. It's failed it's MOT on three things... two lower arms and a main beam tell tale bulb. So, can they fix it before the England World Cup Semi Final...?
To give them the best possible chance, they are starting a full 24hrs before kick off. Two arms and bulb, surely it can't be that hard... can it? 
Get ready for many thumps, lumps and the odd swear word. Mainly from Ian. 
 

This week, the boys are off to the Banbury Classic Car meet in Ian's V8 Range Rover - cue many V8 sounds and very little speed. 
As well as drinking beer and muttering about classics, Tim has news from Ferrari and Dacia and Ian has a rant about eScooters. 
Oh, and Ian has roped Tim into a new show, the Big Land Rover Fest.

In the midst of the June 2026 heatwave, Tim's has donned in motorbike gear and headed to Ian's garden for this week's episode of A Pint of Petrol.
Last week, Ian went to Doncaster to collect his new-to-him Vauxhall Insignia and, just seven days in, it's not going well... it's already broken and costing him money, which is his least favourite this in the world. 
Meanwhile, Tim is trying to desperately keep this week's episode on track whilst Ian is drink gin and crashing RC cars. 
The usual then...

In this episode, the boys have said Goodbye to one car and hello to another. 
After Tim got totally messed around by a pair of time wasters last week, the nicest, kindest, most genuine young man has bought the timewarp Twingo. After six months, Tim wave bye-bye to the 14,000 mile survivor. 
Ian on the other hand has acquired yet another car... after he bought a competition ticket for just £20, he ended up winning a 90,000mile diesel Vauxhall Insignia. And if that wasn't bad enough, he's had to go all the way from Milton Keyne to Doncaster to get it!
And that's not even the worst bit... wait till you hear how much it's cost to insure...

This week, time wasters have been testing Tim's patience. He is trying (and failing) to sell the timewarp Twingo and - despite it being in superb condition with a good advert and a keen price - people are wasting his time, much to Tim's annoyance. 
The boys also discuss the latest news from the week, include the new BMW M3, Ian buy's Tim a present AND Ian has WON a car... because he need another one!
Enjoy!
