Todd’s MINI in the shop and his default snow car is a convertible. I’m getting ready to do brakes on my car and deem the R56 to be fairly fall-aparty. The new Detroit Tuned shop is **almost** ready! And Alex is getting a [CravenSpeed Platypus Mount](http://www.cravenspeed.com/the-platypus-license-plate-mount-1/) so he stops getting tickets from the Communist Socialist state of California.

Plus a ton of news from [MotoringFile](http://www.motoringfile.com), including everyone _mostly_ agree that I am finally right! As well as a shout-out to the boys at [Motor Trend Audio](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/motor-trend-audio/id858864150?mt=2) for getting to show 100! Congrats fellas!

Finishing up with some talk about The Grand Tour, Fords and JCW Clubman. We think you guys are going to enjoy this one!
