RoAb #63 - The 'Holiday Wishlist 2010' Episode

Like a mall Santa whispering in your ear, RoundAbout is asking the tough questions this holiday season.  Join your favorite automotive characters – including broadcaster extraordinaire Jeffery Gilbert of WWJ Newsradio 950 – for another amusing and mildly informative installment of RoAb, #63, the “Holiday Wishlist 2010” episode.  This week the cast highlights some of the things on their Christmas lists.  Find out which one of us wants a five-ton military truck painted like the Duke boys’ General Lee.  Who’s been dreaming about a membership to the exclusive Monticello Motor Club?  Which one of us is pining for a racecar bed?  Listen to find out.  Also up for discussion are the Tata Nano’s disappointing sales figures, some of the exciting vehicles we’ve been driving lately – including a certain high-performance AMG-ified SUV – plus another random installment of Meet Your Roadmates.  You DO NOT want to miss this riveting and oddly poetic installment of RoundAbout, #63, the “Holiday Wish List 2010” episode.

RoAb #49 - The 'If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em' Episode

So we're back again--and apologies for any audio weirdness; our new studio set up still needs some work--and we're closing in on landmark episode 50. So, of course, loyal host that he is, Craig Cole has up and left us for some driving fun down South. No worries though, for Miss MotorMouth herself steps up to take a swing at the host's chair.

Our tenuous theme this week is 'If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em' and so we have stories of people and companies making their way in an adverse world. RIM patents billboards that change their content to meet the speed of traffic, meanwhile Switzerland realizes it can't stop public fornication, but they can hide it. Also, some big rigs decide they're going to join the world of jetplanes and spew copious amounts of brightly-colored gas into the air. Plus we've got editions of BLIND SPOT, AUTOGADGET, PSY-CAR-LOGY and way, way more, so stay tuned for this rip-roaring edition of RoundAbout.

RoAb #39 - The 'Grab Bag' Episode - Mk II

Just like a RoundAbout intro crafted by Craig Cole, sometimes you never know what you’re going to get. Due to unprecedented popularity (Read: No theme ideas) we offer up our second-ever “Grab-Bag” episode. That's right, second! A Chinese intersection where no one follows traffic laws is a bundle of slow-motion hilarity.  A Jeep CJ and a Miata get together to produce an unspeakable monstrosity. Porsche sees MINI's Road Atlanta challenge and raises it an FU. There's a lot to enjoy in this week’s supersized, especially random installment of RoundAbout, The 'Grab Bag' Episode - Mk II.  Enjoy!

RoAb #38 - The 'Scraping By' Episode

Whether you’ve washed your hair with soap because you ran out of shampoo, built a canoe out of drywall or even resorted to eating haggis, we’ve all had to make do at one point or another.  Join the RoundAbout gang this week as they barely scrape by in the 38^th installment of the show.  If you’ve ever wanted to own a thoroughbred sports car but just don’t have the means, listen in to learn about a pedal-powered Porsche replica that’s built out of crap you’re guaranteed to have lying around the house.  Talk about making do with what you’ve got!  In similar fashion, a group of Chinese students built a replica Bugatti Veyron out of … wait for it … cigarette packs!  Learn about the hilarious vanity license plate that one tree-loving arborist wanted to snag for his ride.  Too bad the Michigan Secretary of State said “no plate for you!”  Now he has to make do with something else.  Enjoy all that and a whole lot … well, some more on this week’s awe-inspiring episode of RoundAbout, #38, the “Scraping By” episode.
