Upgrade complete
A quick upgrade to WRR. Things might look a bit funny for a day or two.
As a bonus, I was able to activate Markdown for the comments. I’ll put some notes below the main comment box.
The way I see it…
I’ve been keeping a really close eye on iTunes lately, watching our rank go up and down, but staying in the top 20 (!) in the transportation category for the entire month! What is even better than that, for the last week we have been the #1 Automotive podcast* in iTunes!
Thanks for listening and helping to spread the word! If you keep it up, there is a good chance we might even break into the top 100 on iTunes!
Thanks gang!
*The Car and Driver radio show does not count. It was previously broadcast over the airwaves and internet and repurposed as a podcast after the fact. All of the other listings in the transportation directory are video casts or not automotive.

MF Audio Review – MCS Automatic
Gabe gives his take on the automatic version of the MINI Cooper S.
“As a follow-up to the recent MotoringFile VW GTI review (and previous MCSa review) I thought I’d offer up my thoughts on the automatic Cooper S while behind the wheel. In some ways demonstrating why the GTI’s DSG is so superior as well as showing why the automatic may not be the best choice for the MINI owning control freaks out there.”
