On today's US GP preview, we ask Roo if he can resight the 6 remaining grand prix in the correct order!  And what he thinks of them.  We get into the possibilities and championship outcomes if McLaren or Red Bull are competitive.  Or will Piastri spoil the party?

Drive Fast & But Drive Your Bus Faster!

On today's show we have James Ruppert.  A former writer for Autocar and many of the major car magazines along with his own online magazine, freecarmag.com.  James is extremely knowledgeable in bangernomics.  That's keeping an old car running on a tight budget and helps us with buying advice for your next used car.  He's also extremely anti-EV.  We get into the topic of evs really being pushed to get us out of our cars because our politicians can only see zero emmissions and not the harm to the motor industry and to people's freedom to drive to get to work and places where public transport simply can't cover.

Here's James's YouTube channel and links for his excellent books and more.
