  • Behind the Scenes with the Next Generation - 8 July 2026
    Jul 11 2026

    The team are back at CCW HQ and they’ve sat down for a chat about this week’s bumper issue.

    There’s a lot of chat about the next generation, the hurdles faced getting into the hobby young, which clubs are working well to bring in the next wave of owners and a threat of going topless if this heatwave continues. It’s a mixed bag.

  • Fantasy Gauges, Boiling Petrol and Banning Social Media - 26 June 2026
    Jun 25 2026

    Jesse, James and Chris are back, battling the summer heat to bring you another round of mildly classic-related chatter.

    Jesse has run out of petrol (again), somehow boiled a tank of petrol, been to Brands Hatch and taken the Jimny apart. Everyone else has been smart enough to avoid the heat.

    There’s also chat about the social media ban, fake heritage certificates and an encore about children’s television and how epic Tugs was.

    Jesse is joined by Chris and James this week for a chat about noise cameras, pre-selector gearboxes, Retro Rides Weekender, Stanford VW meet, and we’ve finally got another instalment of the terrible tapes and crap cassettes series (apologies for the sound in that section, someone else in Bedfordshire logged onto the web at the same time as Jesse and the bandwidth got a bit busy).
