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.
