  • Episode 56: RC Cars, Gin and Ian's new car is broken already.
    Jun 28 2026

    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...

  • Episode 55: Tim waves Goodbye to the Twingo & Ian goes to Doncaster to collect his Rental Car Prize
    Jun 21 2026

    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...

    Jun 14 2026

    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.

    Enjoy!

    Jun 7 2026

    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.

  • Episode 52: BIG NEWS! Tim has found a EV Ian would actually buy... and it's AWESOME!
    May 24 2026

    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.

  • Episode 51: THE HOT HATCH IS BACK! But who is going to buy them?
    May 10 2026

    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.

  • Episode 50: Tim & Ian fix Tim's beloved old Calibra
    May 2 2026

    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...
