UPDATE – Corrected links. Apologies for this showing in your feed twice.
I still don’t think the diesel is coming and other news from MotoringFile.com start us out this week. All of the news that is fit for us to talk about it. A little Ask Chad/Todd about graphics you will find useful. Alex recaps his trip to California and I talk a little more about the R56 heretofore known as Bruce.
Don’t forget any of the fine sponsors for your Valentine. Might I recommend a smart phone holder from Craven Speed (aka the ‘Squeezy Thing’) or perhaps some fine motoring gear from Outmotoring.com? Trust me, this stuff is Valentines Day gold friends.
Finally, we are getting closer to our goal of $100 per episode at Patreon. We really appreciate the support! I’m going to have rewards for those that have already contributed very soon along with rewards for future Paton’s. Remember, when we hit $100, Todd is going to make it rain! Rain butter, baby!

Whole heartedly agree on the wheels discussion.
I traded up from the 16″ bridge spokes to the Web Spokes on my Cooper D. Then opted for bullets as my second set, both looked amazing! I did get the web spokes powder coated black with a silver lip though!
Sweet! Love the web spokes!
Very nice Phil. I’m totally rethinking my wheel choices and the use of eBay to find something I can work with in my budget. Really like the idea of stick with an OE wheel. #becauseTodd
Yes! — you guys named all my favorite MINI OEM wheels, and I have 3 of them! Web spoke in silver (R56S), bullet spoke in silver, and black star bullet for the R52S (winter/summer wheels).
+1 on going with eBay, db. I got the black star bullets for $500 for a set last summer from Factory Wheel Warehouse on eBay. Extremely happy with the wheels, packaging, and shipping — and the price!
And I agree with Todd’s opinion about going with OEM wheels. Aftermarket wheels don’t look right to me on a MINI. Can’t say why.
Hi Todd, I’d love the Gen1 aero kit part number you mentioned. I tried you via the toddsmods.com contact form, but the submit error-ed out. Thanks!
