Club Petrolblog is back (and yes, it still smells of old french plastic)
Right then. After a bit of a lie-down and some time away from overthinking everything, Club Petrolblog is back.
This is a proper soft relaunch – no tiers, no apps, no crowdfunding dashboards. Just a nice way for you to support Petrolblog if you like what it does (and maybe want a free keyring).
Since that relaunch, Club Petrolblog has picked up a few new perks, because if there’s one thing more exciting than a free keyring, it’s a daft list of other goodies. Think extra shop discounts, shiny new stickers and the odd surprise for members who like their motoring served with crumbs of nonsense.
Updated 15 September 2025: new perks added, including screenwash and car mats discounts.
What is Club Petrolblog?
It’s a club, of sorts. A bit like the ones you used to join via a form in the back of a car magazine. You send off some money, and in return you get a sticker, a keyring, some perks and the quiet satisfaction of knowing you’re helping something small and weird stay on the road.
This time round, it’s £13.60 for the year – in honour of the Citroën AX GT’s 1360cc engine. Because of course it is.
What do you get for your £13.60?
- A ‘tax disc’ style window sticker – complete with old-school expiry date
- A free keyring – because a pocket feels empty without one
- 25% off Classic.Retro.Modern. subscription – because one daft magazine deserves another
- 20% off top-tier rust-proofing at Rustec – plus a free cleaning kit
- 15% off at Screen Wash King – because clear vision is vital when you’re spotting tat.
- Exclusive 10% discount at Carmats4U.com – because even a Tatty Camry deserves great mats
- Access to regular giveaways and prize draws – the kind that involve biscuits, Hot Wheels and other essential items
- A warm fuzzy feeling – hard to quantify, easy to enjoy
- Possibly a few crumbs
Why does Club Petrolblog exist?
Because the blog doesn’t run on influencer deals or glossy press trips. It runs on:
- Rusty French tat
- The occasional useful sponsored post
- Readers who enjoy something a bit different
- And one man’s inability to resist a cheap Renault with a broken heater
Petrolblog is proudly independent. That means it needs real support to keep going – and Club Petrolblog is a small, crumbly way of making that happen.
You’re not just buying a sticker. You’re helping keep weird cars, rubbish YouTube content, and proper automotive writing alive.
Events? Maybe
If you join, you’ll be the first to hear about any future Petrolblog meets or gatherings. No guarantees. No megaphone announcements. Just parked-up cars, terrible coffee and a strong showing of rear wipers.
How to join
Click below, hand over £13.60, choose your keyring at checkout, and you’re in.
We’ll post out your stuff, assign you a member number, and probably raise a mug of tea in your general direction.
Membership lasts until the end of July, in true tax disc tradition. After that, you’ll need to renew – but don’t worry, we’ll give you a nudge. Probably via email. Possibly with biscuits.
