This week after a long absence Jonny Lieberman rejoins us at the podcasting table alongside his Source Interlink compatriot Carlos Lago. Frankly this episode is really really long coming in at nearly two and a half hours. We cover beards, the Bieber arrest, E46 vs Fiesta outrage, the new Subaru WRX, the AMG G63 6x6, rather explicit fan letters, the Venom GT, AMS Alpha 12 GT-R and the Pagani Huayra.  Strap in, this one just goes and goes.

This week Steve Dinan purveyor of all things BMW joins us to talk about how he got into the business and the current state of BMW tech.  Of course we touch upon the history of BMW but we spend a long time discussing how factory turbocharging has unleashed new potential and where things may be going in the future.  We discuss the realities of research and development, Steve defines "Turbo Lag" for us and using vacuum in the crankcase for power increases.

So... this week as we wrapped up recording and I attempted to save the recording (like the reckless asshole I am) GarageBand promptly started throwing a fit and ultimately destroyed the second half of the recording.Since we got a solid hour of podcasting in before the recording was trashed I decided an hour of a quality podcasting was better than none.Those problems aside, this week we welcome Travis Langness of Edmunds to the podcast table.  We review the Range Rover LWB, Travis talks about Edmund's long term 2005 CLS65 AMG and we discuss the controversy surrounding the Fiesta ST vs BMW E46 M3 video.
