In this episode, we talk coupés, convertibles and the cheapest 12 cylinders money can buy. Plus hear how one of the guys bought a V12 on eBay after a few too many G&Ts! So fill up your petrol tank again (it is an XJS) and enjoy the knockabout chat with Ian, Richard and Simon.

We're back and asking questions like: Which is better - a shiny classic or a dirty rat rod? Which BMW Z-car is currently a best buy? Why are modern cars so dangerous?

Plus we kick the tyres in person at the recent Iconics auction and also find out why Max is still getting grief from a 911, despite having sold one. Plus you put us right about the Rover P6 as well as the thorny topic of engine swaps. There's also the usual argy bargy between the hosts and a few laughs in between. So clutch in, into first and enjoy another episode of The Tyre Kickers.

Grab the Babycham - we've made it to Episode 10! This time around, we get the hots for the car that get hotter than most - the Triumph Stag.

All that, plus some fantastic comments and interactions from you. Including - how we made one listener late for the school run. Oops, sorry! It's all in Episode 10 of The Tyre Kickers. Hit play, sit back, laugh and enjoy. It may just be our best one yet!
