Pint of Petrol

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! Recorded June 2026.

Tim's BMW is broken... much to Ian's delight. And what should have been a simple fix turned into an unbelievable saga, and as expected, Ian isn't about to let him of lightly. In this episode, the boys dive into the latest news, discuss the week's happenings from across the automotive world, and enjoy a good old-fashioned catch-up. Expect plenty of banter, many laughs at Tim's expense, and the usual mix of cars, opinions, and nonsense. Recorded June 2026

This week, Tim takes Ian out in the new Vauxhall Mokka GSE, Vauxhall's latest 281hp hot hatch. But is it a proper fast Vauxhall or just a Mokka with big wheels?  Spoiler alert - it's the former - but you won't believe the impact it has on Ian. That's right, the old dinosaur actually has A LOT OF FUN in the new Mokka GSE... so much so, he behaves like a 17 year old.  Enjoy this trip down memory lane as Vauxhall have genuinely made something rather brilliant.

This week, the boys are back at the pub talking about the greatness that is the Hot Hatch. It's a simple recipe of practicality and performance in a every day package. And the latest kid on the block, the new Corsa GSE has got the boys talking... Both are fans of Vauxhalls, both are fans of a pocket rocket and both like the look of the new Corsa GSE. But, there is one problem. The price. It is... expensive.  Is it enough to put the boys off? Is it going to impact sales? Pour a pint and sit back for the latest episode of a Pint of Petrol.

This week, the boys are in Tim's garage fixing one of his old Calibra. In this hour long special, Tim and Ian work on "Charlie Four", a red Calibra Tim has has owned for more than 16 years. It developed a random fault where the voltage would drop off anything over 3,000 RPM. There is just one problem (or at least that what the boys thought...) - they took the alternator off two weeks ago and now they can't remember how it all goes back together.  So, will they fix it? Will "Charlie Four" run? And will there be any other problems? The answer to all three is... Recorded April 2026     yLUXMJ1uoycOBnsjXe7b
