Welcome back to The Gassing Station! This week, John's been driving a new pick-up with a silly name and there's a fresh batch of auction cars to pore over.

Then, it's onto the first topic: Porsche's exit of the World Endurance Championship. It does mean it can technically still race at Le Mans, but Porsche's WEC exit does indicate far bigger problems than some sub-par results.

After that, Cam and John take on a buying challenge, with one PHer looking to find a new weekend toy between £70k to £90k. They're looking for either a Porsche 911 or Aston Martin DB11, but Cam decides to offer up some alternatives - even if they don't quite meet the criteria.

Finally, the two end on trying their very best to offer some advice on going 200mph on the German autobahn - despite being too scared to try it themselves.

Welcome back to The Gassing Station. This week's episode opens with John being surprisingly upbeat about the Volvo XC90 and Cam thinks the new BMW iX3 Neue Klasse isn't quite as hideous as the car it replaces.

On the subject of funny looking cars, the Yangwang U9X and its shiny new production speed record, which it's nabbed from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. But what's really caught Cam and John's eye is the massive moment test driver Marc Basseng had at 293mph while setting the proction EV record.

For topic two, Cam and John help a PistonHeads user find a new toy for £22k, one that not only has to be practical but must also feel more special than their 400hp Mk3 Ford Focus RS. Tricky, that.

To finish things off, the two disclose their guilty pleasure cars, partly inspired by John's love of the XC90, and partly so they can talk about their first cars. All that and more on this week's episode of The Gassing Station.

Welcome back to The Gassing Station! In this week's episode, John compares the Porsche Panamera to a Pendolino train and Cam finds yet more excuses as to why he's yet to buy that 335i he keeps banging on about.

As for the actual topics, it all kicks off with (supposedly) the one and only UK-registered Polestar 1, which is for sale on PistonHeads.com at the time of recording. Cam remembers the 1 quite fondly, which John immediately takes issue with.

Then it's on to some buying advice, this week taking the form of a £15k dog carrier challenge.

And finally, it's on to our favourite engines (we've all got them, admit it) and some of the engineering behind what makes them good. All that and more on this week's episode of The Gassing Station!

Welcome back to The Gassing Station! This week, Cam finally gets round to talking about the new Porsche 911 Turbo S and that incredible Nurburgring lap set by Jörg Bergmeister. John, meanwhile, has been driving the new Ford Ranger MS-RT and, impressively, can't remember a single thing about it.

Then, it's on to a buying challenge, this week focusing on an affordable, £5k car that's modern, safe and (presumably) isn't woefully dull.

Finally, Cam's found an excuse to talk about an unusual pair of funeral cars he spotted on holiday. All that and more on this week's episode of The Gassing Station.

Welcome back to another episode of The Gassing Station! This week, Cam's back fresh from seeing the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa and, no, the name isn't the most controversial thing about it.

Then it's on to a buying challenge, this week provided by user deeen who's looking for something special for £25k. Question is: do you use the full budget up on one car, or go low and spend the rest on parts?

Finally, Cam and John talk about all the cars they dream of owning, but would never actually want to own. All that and more on The Gassing Station.

Welcome back to another episode of The Gassing Station! This week, Cam and John use Koenigsegg reclaiming the 0-249mph-0 record from Rimac as an excuse to find out which motoring feats get your adrenaline pumping and the ones that leave you underwhelmed. Then it's onto some car buying advice, which this week comes courtesy of PH user bennno, who's on the hunt for a classic car for £50,000. The catch? It can't be too expensive to run. Yeesh. Finally, after a spikey encounter on social media, Cam and John decide it's time to sort out how we pronounce car names (hint: we've been saying Mazda wrong this whole time). All that and more on The Gassing Station!

Welcome back to The Gassing Station powered by Michelin. On this week's episode, John somehow manages to find the only Citroen in existence developed for the Nurburging, but it's not the only hybrid he's driven recently...

To kick things off, John takes us through what it's like to drive the Aston Martin Valhalla prototype around Silverstone ('s Stowe circuit), which reminds Cam of the time he tiptoed around a sodden Millbrook (not Mira, you idiot) in a £2.5m Lamborghini Sian mid-storm.

Then, it's on to some buying advice, with one PHer looking for a performance car for £14k with some rather strict criteria. And finally, Cam finds a threat about unusual things that have happened in/around cars.

Welcome back to The Gassing Station and to part 2 of our live stage special from the 2025 PistonHeads Annual Service.In this episode, we dive into the world of car builders: from people who’ve honed the design of existing cars to those who’ve created something new altogether. We begin with Douglas Larkin, a former Aston Martin and Jaguar engineer who’s been documenting the build of his very own, V8 Vantage-based Feroxa speedster on the PistonHeads forums. We’re then joined by Fergus Walkinshaw and Khyzyl Saleem from TWR to go over the bonkers, 5.6-litre V12-powered Supercat. Then it’s over to Steffen Dobke, founder of Analogue Automotive and the man whose goal in life is to create the perfect Series 1 Lotus Elise.

We're doing things a little different for this week's episode of The Gassing Station, as we've cobbled together three talks from the 2025 PistonHeads Annual Service for you to sink your teeth into.

This first of two specials brings together all the motorsport chats from the live stage at Bicester Motion. Cam's first joined by 1992 BTCC champion, Tim Harvey, and 2025 rookie, Charles Rainford, to talk all things touring cars and what's in store for the 2027 regs change. Then, it's on to the record-devouring McMurtry Speirling, wowing crowds with a rev up of its humungously powerful fans, before rounding off with Formula 1 commentator Harry Benjamin as the sport celebrates its 75th anniversary.

On this week's episode, Cam drives Thruxton race circuit backwards while trying out the new BMW M3 CS Touring, while John tries desperately to hide his jealousy.

Then, the two sink their teeth into a trio of subjects, kicking off with John's recent drive of the Lamborghini Temerario and (surprise surprise) a small rant about why we should give Lambo more credit for creating a 10k rpm V8. After that, it's time for a car buying challenge, which comes in the form of a recently-converted car enthusiast looking for a £100k weekend toy. Finally, the two share their thoughts on Honda's rocket launch with such professionalism you'd think they were on BBC Radio 4. Or not.
