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!

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.

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...

In this episode, Tim is behind the wheel talking about a brand he is passionate about - Vauxhall. 

He is joined by three clubs, the VXR Owners Club, Vectra B Enthusiasts and East Side Vauxhall Owners. In this special episode, Tim and his guests share their passion for the griffin, what got them into Vauxhalls and talk about one of the best Vauxhall shows going... VauxALL!

This week, Ian is joined by his wife, Rachel, and as Ian recently turned 40, the pair take a long drive down memory lane, looking back at the cars they've owned and the journeys they have shared.

Sit back as Rachel shares the BRUTAL TRUTH of Ian's car collecting and what it is really like to live with him.

Get that girl a medal.

This week, the boys travel to Banbury Classic Car & Bike Meet in Ian's beloved Range Rover Classic. Ian's grandfather bought it new, way back when, and it's been a good few years since Ian has driven it. 

After a short drive, the boys wonder the joys of a weekday classic car meet, sun in sky, cider in hand.

And rejoice! Gone is the pain of AI, here to stay is the sweet sound of the old Rover V8!
