Episode 67: The new Jaaaaag Type 01

2026/10/11

This week, all the news has been about the new Jaguar Type 01 and Ian has told Tim not to watch or read anything about it... until now. So what do the boys make of the new Jaaaaag? Time to find out...

Episode 66: Could this be the only car you’ll ever need? 🚗

2026/09/26

In this week's episode, Tim has got his hands on the brand, spanking new Vauxhall Astra Tourer, a car Ian has previously said he really likes the look of. So, will it live up to the hype or... not? Well, Tim seems to think it's all the car you could ever need, Ian on the other hand is less convinced. Let the bickering begin! Oh, and quick not... when the boys recorded this, they didn't have all of the information about the car and thought it was a top of the range "Ultimate" version... it wasn't, it was the base model "Griffin", which is £5,000 less than what they say it is in the episode. Also, the broken bit did fix itself... straight after they stopped recording. Typical!

Episode 65: It's leaking petrol and the jump pack is on fire...

2026/09/20

In this episode of A Pint of Petrol, the boys are back in Tim's garage fixing the Calibra Turbo... again. This time, it's sprung a fuel leak... but neither car find out where from! To add to their woes, the battery has gone flat and jump pack decides to combust. Whilst on Tim's beloved Turbo. The boys also bicker over the latest news, including a new law which means you can't stand and drink in London, and the our least favourite orange man, who seems determined to implode the world, could have ruined classic cars forever. All positive then.

Episode 64: The Fast, The Furious and The broken Discovery.

2026/09/14

This week, Tim has gone to Ian's to fix - yep you guess it - another Land Rover. This one is Ian's mum's Disco and it's been in family since it was new. Many, many years have passed and now Ian is desperately trying to get it back on the road. In other news, Tim has been to the cinema to see one of his all time favourite films - the original Fast and the Furious - and he is going to (try to) convince Ian that is a great car film. Before it all went very, very silly, that is. Enjoy!

Episode 63: You're Too Fat and Too Short to be on YouTube.

2026/08/29

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?

Episode 62: Beaulieu, The National Motor Museum and Fixing a Fuel Leak.

2026/08/23

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.

Episode 61: The Pressure of Racing at 15 with Oscar Stockley-King -- PLUS BTS Beaulieu Supercar Weekend Adventure

2026/08/09

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. Recorded in August 2026 at the Beaulieu Supercar Weekend. All driving was completed on private land.

Episode 60: The VW Golf Diesel is DEAD! And more VAG models are going... Plus China claims to have "made the car Lotus should of..." Crikey.

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. Recorded in Ian's garden in July 2026.

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!

EPISODE 58: The boys have 24hrs to fix Tim's Calibra Turbo... can they do it before the England game kicks off?

2026/07/19

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.

EPISODE 57: Classic Car Show mutterings in the V8 Range Rover

2026/07/12

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... Recorded on the surface of the Sun, June 2026.

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...

Episode 54: Time wasters test Tim's patience and Ian has WON a car...

2026/06/14

This week, time wasters have been testing Tim's patience.

Expect plenty of banter, many laughs at Tim's expense, and the usual mix of cars, opinions, and nonsense. Recorded June 2026
