Another week; another three-member episode. We’ve even found a new studio in amongst some very old cars and a lot of car parts. If that does not get with the spirit of the show then we don’t know what more to do.  The only flaw is Trevor Tuck and Patrick Gearing are so distracted by the parts and machinery they are in their own version of an Alfa red-light district.

This week the team of the Trevors and Patrick discuss (apart from the hotness of the chilli on the pizza) a number of interesting automotive news stories and even deliver a car review on the FIAT 500 MTA with a gearbox Tuck loves to hate.

In this week’s  show the news is abuzz with info on the a design award for the BMW 5-Series. What the press fail to mention is that the 5er won the silver with the top honours going to Mercedes Benz for its SLS. All credit to BMW for dominating the news though – that’s good PR.

Also, SAGMJ announces its finalist list for the South African Car of the Year 2011 which is a little ho-hum at best – click the link to see all the cars considered for this year and the finalists that actually made it through. Lastly, the team wraps up with a review of the FIAT 500 MTA. A Selespeed that Tuck feels has not really got any better than the first versions and leaves the model a little deflated. Listen to the full review to make up your mind.
