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.

The weather's nice, so like a school lesson outside, we've taken the show on the road - to a pub! Max and Matt drive their shiny cars to Berkshire to get their get their faces into the sunshine. They chat favourite classic cars, underrated and overrated classics and fess up about the best and worst things about their own cars. And - they pick a classic they think sums up the other one. Uh oh! Warning: this podcast may contain two car nuts.

Would you add air suspension, massive alloys and a 25 speaker sound system to a Triumph Stag? In this bonus episode, we meet members of a London car club not afraid to bend the rules (and spend the money) to create the Stags they really want. They're not British Leyland purists but the passion they have for the 70s cruiser is infectious. Come with us as we meet the drivers and their cars at Stag Empire's biggest meet-up yet. 

See photos of the cars, the mods and the people behind them on our Instagram and Facebook profiles.

Please hope he does to stop him wittering on about it...
