Happy birthday shout-outs, Mars in retrograde and we provide some history behind The Shuttle Cast. We also run through news of the week from Motoringfile and a few Ask Chad questions.
<p>Nathaniel think most of us are not wanting a 500 HP MINI per as such, rather think most of the people crying foul over JCW are looking something more akin to a ///M product. Imagine if you can picking up a M3 with a tiny increase in power and slightly better handling that only visual difference is badges and a red roof. IF so ///M would be a laughable pseudo car rather than the near mythic sub brand it is today. They are not perfect buy honestly do produce performance cars unlike the slightly hotter Cooper S of today with the JCW badges.</p>
