Max wants to charge £50 to enter his fantasy car museum. Matt thinks it sounds terrible. A random collection of wedgy classics, chips and Max's holiday snaps. Matt reckons his prima collection of Italian headturners (half the entry price at £25) will be miles better. Cue - a row about who's right and who's wrong. Also, this episode, hear more about the big Stag saga and why Matt's now a bit nervous about driving it. And the boys get accused of being materialistic about owning classics, rather than loving them. The cheek of it! Hear about this and much more in this latest episode.
