    Episode 45: NEC Restoration Show, a DEAD Discovery 2 and a U-Turn...
    Mar 29 2026

    This week, the boys aren't "pubcasting", they're down the coffee shop catching up after an eventful NEC Restoration Show. Ian spent most of it in the pub, but Tim made a few videos that went viral... sort of.

    Ian has also rescued a Land Rover Discovery 2 from a field, and promptly set to ruining what was left of the paint at the local jet wash.

    And BIG NEWS! The company that wouldn't hire you if your car was over 10 years old? Well, after the story made headlines, they've back tracked!

    Put the kettle on, this one's a good 'un...

    Episode 44: This company WON'T EMPLOY YOU if your car IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD! 😡
    Mar 22 2026

    This week, news has emerged of a company refusing to even shortlist a candidate because her car was more than 10 years old... and ask you can imagine, the boys have quite a lot to say about this. It even made Tim get his bleep button out! Oh-er!

    The boys also discuss Ian's latest four wheel (drive) acquisition... a mouldy old Disco 2. AND Tim's epic Vauxhall celebration, VauxALL, is coming back to the museum.

    All this and more in one of the best episodes of a Pint of Petrol ever. The banter is good in this one!

    Episode 43: The way we buy cars is changing... Is this the death of the car configurator?
    Mar 15 2026

    This week, the boys are discussing something of a sismic shift in the way we buy cars... and not how we finance them, no, how we actually choose and spec them.

    Go to any legacy brand and you get the same experience... several models with several engines, several trims with several colours and then countless options on top of that.

    New challenger brands have made it simpler, much simpler. One or two engine choices, two trim levels, six colours and no options.

    So what does that mean for new buyers now and the second hand market in years to come... time for a coffee.
