In Ep 23 of a Pint of Petrol, Tim and Ian are having an argument... which is better: The traditional car show OR the new trend of pop-up car and coffee meets?

Tim is representing the old school event, where you pay an entry fee for a full day out of family entertainment, whereas Ian is flying the flag for the new tradition of localised car and coffee meets, which usually take place once a month at a local venue.

The boys are at Banbury Car and Bike Meet, one of the best C&C meet ups, to discuss the pros and cons of each. And there is one fundamental thing that the boys agree will ruin the new generation of events.

In Ep 23 of a Pint of Petrol, Tim and Ian reminisce about the good old days of car shows - and how the 2025 VBOA National Rally brought that back.

Earlier this year, the Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association (VBOA) had a big problem - they had no venue for their National Rally. The existing venue had hiked the prices to the point it was unviable and the team did find an alternative... however, just two hours after it was announced, the online backlash put the entire event at risk.

What followed was one of the greatest returns seen in many years, with the 2025 Rally finding a new home and taking everyone who went a trip down memory lane.

Have a listen and find out why it was so good...
