The Tyre Kickers - Classic Cars

Max has had so many classic car breakdowns, he now carries half of Halfords in his boot. But some of the stuff is a bit suss. Is he prepping for a breakdown or trying to dispose of a dead body? The boys compare emergency kits and ask - what do you really need to carry while you wait for the RAC? Also this episode, why Matt really shouldn't take the Stag for an MOT and why Max is stressing about his wet Rolls. Plus there's a look at how few Fuegos and Alfa Arnas there are left on the roads. Although with the Arna, that's probably not a bad thing. Don’t delay, hit play and listen now!

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?

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. Thanks to Jesse Billington @ CCW.
