Starting off with our rememberance of Mr. Paddy Hopkirk. He was a great human that we were all lucky enough to meet and interview.

Breaking our silence! There is a very good reason for that as Todd has added a Chili Red JCW F56 to his stable. And I added another bicycle. The bulk of the show is, of course, talking about Todd’s new MINI (also has the JCW Exhaust) and how much Todd is in love with it. […]

Now that we have all, mostly, returned to the land of the living, we thought it would be a good idea to do a show. Todd, Chad and I doing what we do. Talking about MINIs and other cars. How about the way manufacturers pad the books to boost their sales numbers? And some talk […]
