Episode Description from the Publisher

In this week's epsiode of A Pint of Petrol, the boys have got lots of news to cover, including the demise of one of the most popular cars in the world, the Volkswagen Golf Diesel.  Not only that, but VW-Audi have announced they are culling half of the models from the portfolio - despite launching the new Audi A9 Flagship.  Meanwhile, Land Rover has bought out the new GT and there is a new £1m Range Rover. Oh, and China is bringing a small "mid-engined" EV sportscar to the UK for sub £50k, claiming it is the car Lotus should have made. Fighting talk, so lets get stuck in. Recorded in Ian's garden in July 2026.
