Why Don't Kids Like Classics? - Bonus
It seems young people aren't really into classic cars. But is that because they don't like them - or they just don't see them enough? People under 30 don't read magazines or watch TV, so how can the scene cut through? For this bonus episode, Matt's been to Birmingham to talk to young drivers at a special Classic Car Weekly meet-up. See photos of the drivers and their cars on our socials and read the full write-up in Classic Car Weekly in their 8th July issue. Thanks to Jesse Billington @ CCW.

Get Your Top Off!
We're back and this time around we've gone topless! Yes, the sun has been out for more than two days in a row, so we're doing a convertible special. Every car we talk about this time is a drophead, cabriolet or rag top. We’ll search out the top convertibles for summertime sunshine action and ask - what’s the fastest and most stylish way to get a burnt forehead? But be warned - not all open air motors are magnificent. So we’re giving the Vauxhall Cavalier cab, the crush or caress treatment. So, drop your top and breathe in those exhaust fumes, as we go convertible crazy in Episode 29 of The Tyre Kickers.Send us Fan MailFollow us on Instagram: @thetyrekickersukFacebook: The Tyre KickersFinalist - Independent Podcast Awards 2024 & 2025
