Joined tonight by Mr. [MotoringFile](http://www.motoringfile.com), Gabe Bridger, we spend more than a fair amount of time talking about MINIs, like we like to do. There was the Car & Driver [long-term review](http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2014-mini-cooper-s-hardtop-long-term-test-wrap-up) of the F56 that Gabe took issue with, and that started quite the conversation. Talked about sales, and the ongoing trend of sales decreasing for MINIUSA and we finish with some Top Gear talk. What did you think? Let us know below!
Seriously, have you guys been to Outmotoring.com to [check out their wheel selection](https://www.outmotoring.com/mini-cooper-accessories/wheels_studs_locks_valve_caps_mud_flaps/)? Most of the factory wheels and only the cool wheels that actually fit the MINI. That’s where Gabe got the wheels that are on the current company car. You should check them out!
Finally, I expect [RideBikesRadio](http://www.ridebikesradio.com) to launch next week! Talking about bicycles with our man Brian Dallas. Stay tuned for that!
Todd as Devil’s Advocate makes every Patreon penny worth it. Great show.
Thanks Gary!
Here is how you can keep the JCW exhaust baffle in open mode.

Thanks Henry! Todd is doing that now!
Sorry but Gabe was so annoying (and wrong) on this show. I felt like shouting “Oh STFU” Sheeze.
Thanks for the feedback RBO!
db, sorry about the ST*U part. It’s just Gabe’s no stop ramblings and insistence on items tweeked me. Otherwise good episode.
No worries. We appreciate All feedback, good and bad!
Totally agree with RBO. Chalk it up to hipster malarkey, but it felt like Gabe was on the clock for MINI. Just saying it’s premium doesn’t make it so at that price point.
Thanks Dan!
