On the way to a recent round of the Australian Rally Championship, Rusty caught up with Hall of Famer Ed Ordynski. The result is nearly three hours of epic conversation that you're going to love. Ed's story isn't just for rally enthusiasts. In this episode, you'll hear captivating tales about Supercars, the gruelling Round Australia trial with the legendary Peter Brock, and what it takes to be a complete champion. Ed shares sage advice that he hasn't widely disclosed until now! This is a Motorsport life well lived. From the magazine coverage of the Monte Carlo Rally that captivated him as a kid to scraping together enough money for an underpowered Corolla to rally in as a long-haired, flair-wearing student, to taming the wild Mazda RX2, and participating in a course with star drivers like Colin Bond that helped turn his career around—there was no looking back from that point on.

Hancock's Half Hour was a BBC radio comedy, and later television comedy series, broadcast from 1954 to 1961 and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The series starred Tony Hancock, with Sidney James; the radio version also co-starred, at various times, Moira Lister, Andrée Melly, Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams. The final television series, renamed simply Hancock, starred Hancock alone. The series was influential in the development of the situation comedy, with its move away from radio variety towards a focus on character development.

00:00 - Show Intro - Should You Buy A Used R56 Mini Cooper S?00:55 - The Short Answer: Yes, but... Great question. I would say the short answer is yes, but with some caveats. The R56 Mini Cooper S is a great option because this model is typically not too old, and not too new, with not too many miles and it's also not too expensive, but these cars do have their issues, some of which I will discuss later in the podcast. 01:55 - A Brief History of the Mini CooperSir Alec Issigonis designed the Mini in the late 50s for Austin motor company in response to the fuel shortage from the Suez Crisis. Austin wanted a small, fuel efficient car that could comfortably carry four adults, while also being affordable to just about anyone. To meet this vehicle requirement, Issigonis did something no one had done before. He pushed the wheels out to the edge of each corner of the car, then turned the engine sideways and used front wheel drive to free up considerable space inside the car. Introduced in 1959, the Austin Mini easily sat four, got excellent fuel mileage and sold for a low cost. It was also an instant hit. 03:20 - Racing Legend John Cooper Gets His Hands On The MiniIn 1961 British racing legend, John Cooper began modifying Mini's for racing by increasing horsepower and improving braking and handling, and the Mini Cooper was born. These modifications turned this boxy little car into a giant killer, so much so that Mini Coopers won the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally three times in the mid to late 1960s. Over time the popularity of the Mini continued to grow and it went on to become the best selling British car of all time with 5.3 million sold. 04:10 - BMW buys Rover Group And The First Gen New Mini Is BornAfter purchasing the Rover Group (which included the Mini name brand) in the mid-nineties, BMW set about designing a New Mini. Their design directive was to produce a car that, when seen from any angle, could not be mistaken for anything other than a Mini. They nailed it and the first generation of the new Mini was introduced in 2001 as a 2002 model and it was sold in the US through 2006. The base R50 Mini Cooper had a normally aspirated 1.6-liter engine that made 115-horsepower and 110-lb.ft. of torque. The Mini Cooper S, also known as the R53 made 163-horsepower and 155-lb.ft. of torque from a 1.6-liter supercharged version of the same motor. Zero to sixty acceleration times were a little over seven seconds for the Mini Cooper S and both engines were built as part of a joint-venture between BMW and Chrysler. 05:38 - The Second Gen New Mini Hits The StreetsAvailable in the US starting in model year 2007, the second gen Mini was a little larger, and the new 4-cylinder 1600cc engine in the Cooper S was now fitted with a turbocharger, rather than the supercharger found on the first gen Cooper S. The 2007-2010 R56 Mini Cooper S came with the N14 engine that made 172-horsepower at 5500 RPM and 177-lb.ft. of torque at 1600 RPM. The N14 engines featured BMW's variable valve timing (or VANOS) only on the intake cams. The R56 Mini Cooper S from 2011 to 2013 was fitted with the slightly more powerful N18 engine. This engine featured variable valve timing (VANOS) on both the intake and exhaust cams and horsepower output increased to 182 at 5500 RPM with a torque rating of 177-lb.ft. at 1600 RPM. However this engine's DME or engine computer allows the turbo to overboost for several seconds at wide open throttle for a temporary increase in torque to 192-lb.ft. The N18 engine is also reported to have less issues compared to the N14 engine. 08:00 - Reasons Why You Might Want An R56 Mini Cooper SFun to drive (this is definitely the top reason to own a Mini Cooper).

Welcome to episode 4 of season 2 of the Lovecars On The Grid motorsport podcast! Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman are back with another roundup of motorsport events from the past week! This week, we have a huge amount to cover. From the Monte Carlo Rally, to news from Formula 1 and the FIA, plus some pre season testing in Abu Dhabi and in the USA with Daytona! Kicking off with news from the FIA. We've been chasing an update since the Formula 1 finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2021. The whole Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton fiasco, where both drivers have been remarkably quiet about the whole situation. Elsewhere though, fans are threatening to boycott the FIA! Will Hamilton be at the first race of the season? The first change from the FIA is that race fans won't know who the race director is, plus there will be no communication broadcasted between race director and team principals. The Monte Carlo Rally was surprisingly dry this year, with some snow and ice for some added excitement! The rally in the French Riviera gave us a battle between the two retired drivers, Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier. The Win went to Sébastien Loeb and his co-driver, Isabelle Galmiche in their Ford Puma Hybrid for the Ford M Sport team, with team cars also finishing in 3rd and 5th place. Welsh driver, Elfyn Evans was able to win a stage, but a crash prevented him to continuing. Galmiche is the first female in 25 years to Win the Monte Carlo Rally! Back at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, we had the Formula 4 UAE, where the younger drivers are getting experience for their cars in the other series. Drivers are able to test for four weekends in the UAE for the Winter Season. Should Winter testing be banned? We have three British drivers out of the 27 drivers in total. The other season at Yas Marina was Formula Regional Asian, that has a similar format, allowing testing. Amongst drivers are Charles Leclerc's brother and Juan Pablo Montoya's son! There was some questionable, track limits driving, with driver's receiving 10 second penalties for exceeding track limits. We like Tiff's idea of reducing the car's power automatically for exceeding track limits though! What would your solution be? Over the pond in the USA, we had the road before the 24 race at Daytona, as we build up to the Daytona 24H this weekend. Ricky Taylor took pole, with Will Stevens as his co-driver. Kamui Kobayashi took second place, ahead of next weekend. Next weekend, Formula E returns, with a very snazzy advertisement. Make sure you check it out! This season is the last one with the Gen 2 car. There's a new qualifying format, with a knockout system. Audi have now taken their team out of Formula E, but Maserati are joining Formula E from the 2022/2023 season.

There's also been Zoom meetings taking place at the FIA to discuss Michael Masi's place in the sport. Mistakes took place in other races too, at Brazil and at Silverstone, not just in Abu Dhabi! Should Masi be outed from the FIA? Is there someone who can replace him? The final decision following the enquiry into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be announced on 18th March, four months after the race took place! Elsewhere, Aston Martin have appointed Mike Crack as the Team Principal for the 2022 season. The Dakar Rally ended last week, after a spectacular few days in the desert in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Nasser Al-Attiyah won the race for the cars in his Toyota, having competed 18 times in the Dakar. On the motorbikes, Sam Sunderland won it for the British! In the trucks, the Kamaz team were leading all the way through! We of course had the Dubai 24 hour race at the Dubai Autodrome this weekend. With Audi taking the 1st and 2nd place spots. Out of the 320 drivers, there were only 7 British drivers! Coming up, we have the 90th Monte Carlo rally taking place next week, with drivers such as Sebastien Loeb, Oliver Solberg and Toyota driver, Elfyn Evans all taking part. We of course have the hybrid cars in this season, offering an extra 100HP.

“Endurance races are my profession; hill climbs and rallies are my hobbies. All of it combined is my passion.” No matter what racetrack, no matter what surface, Romain Dumas just wants to drive. He doesn't just longingly chase his dreams, he goes all-out to fulfil them. In 2017, Dumas won his class at the Monte Carlo Rally. During his summer break the Frenchman often heads to the USA to tackle the spectacular hill-climb race up Pikes Peak. With honours: In 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018, he conquered the 4,301-metre-high summit in the Rocky Mountains to clinch overall victory, after having already secured a class win in 2012 and the title “Rookie of the Year”. And he's also successful in his fulltime job: Eight overall wins at the 24-hour races of Le Mans, Nürburgring and Spa. He crowned his Le Mans triumph of 2016 at the wheel of a Porsche 919 Hybrid by winning the Sports Car World Endurance Championship WEC.

History of Mustang (via Wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_numberSince it was introduced four months before the normal start of the 1965 production year and manufactured alongside 1964 Ford Falcons and 1964 Mercury Comets, the earliest Mustangs are widely referred to as the 1964½ model by enthusiasts.Nevertheless, all "1964½" cars were given 1965 U.S. standard VINs at the time of production, and - with limited exception to the earliest of promotional materials - were marketed by Ford as 1965 models. The low-end model hardtop used a "U-code" 170 cu in (2.8 L) straight-6 engine borrowed from the Falcon, as well as a three-speed manual transmission and retailed for US$2,368. Standard equipment for the early 1965 Mustangs included black front seat belts, a glove box light, and a padded dash board.Production began in March 1964 and official introduction following on April 17 at the 1964 World's Fair. V8 models got a badge on the front fender that spelled out the engine's cubic inch displacement ("260" or "289") over a wide "V." This emblem was identical to the one on the 1964 Fairlane.Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the "normal" 1965 model year in August 1964, about four months after its introduction. These cars are known as "late 65's". The engine lineup was changed, with a 200 cu in (3.3 L) "T-code" engine that produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). Production of the Fairlane's "F-code" 260 cu in (4.3 L) engine ceased when the 1964 model year ended. It was replaced with a new 200 hp (150 kW) "C-code" 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine with a two-barrel carburetor as the base V8. An "A-code" 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) four-barrel carbureted version was next in line, followed by the unchanged 289 HiPo "K-code" equipped with a 4-barrel Autolite 4100 carburetor rated at 271 hp (202 kW; 275 PS) at 6000 rpm and 312 lb⋅ft (423 N⋅m) at 3400 rpm.The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (a way to distinguish a 1964 from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says "GEN" or "ALT"). The Mustang GT version was introduced as the "GT Equipment Package" and included a V8 engine (most often the 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) 289), grille-mounted fog lamps, rocker panel stripes, and disc brakes. In the interior the GT option added a different instrument panel that included a speedometer, fuel gauge, temp. gauge, oil pressure gauge and ammeter in five round dials (the gauges were not marked with numbers, however.)A four-barrel carbureted engine was now available with any body style. Additionally, reverse lights were an option added to the car from August 1964 production. The Mustang was originally available as either a hardtop or convertible, but during the car's early design phases a fastback model was strongly considered. In 1965, the Shelby Mustang was born, it was available only in newly introduced fastback body version with its swept-back rear glass and distinctive ventilation louvers.The standard interior features of the 1965 Mustang included adjustable driver and passenger bucket seats, an AM radio, and a floor mounted shifter in a variety of color options. Ford added additional interior options during the 1965 model year. The Interior Decor Group was popularly known as "Pony Interior" due to the addition of embossed running ponies on the seat fronts, and also included integral armrests, woodgrain appliqué accents, and a round gauge cluster that would replace the standard Falcon instrumentation. Also available were sun visors, a (mechanical) remote-operated mirror, a floor console, and a bench seat. Ford later offered an under-dash air-conditioning unit, and discontinued the vinyl with cloth insert seat option, offered only in early 1965 models. One option designed strictly for fun was the Rally-Pac. Introduced in 1963 after Ford's success at that year's Monte Carlo Rally and available on other Ford and Mercury compacts and intermediates, the Rally-Pac was a combination clock and tachometer mounted to the steering column. It was available as a factory ordered item for US$69.30. Installed by a dealer, the Rally-Pac cost US$75.95.A 14" rim option was available for Rally-pac and GT350R vehicles widening front and rear track to 57.5". Reproductions are presently available from any number of Mustang restoration parts sources. A compass, rear seat belts, A/C, and back-up lights were also optional.Nationwide survey of owners by Popular Mechanics included many complaints about leg room. Fuel economy was very good for the period, with a published test by Popular Mechanics rating the small 260 cubic inch V8 with automatic transmission at 20.93 mpg at 60 mph.The 1966 Mustang debuted with moderate trim changes including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers and gas cap. Ford's new C-4 "cruise-o-matic" three-speed auto transmission became available for the 225 hp V8. The 289 "HiPo" K-code engine was also offered with a c4 transmission, but it had stronger internals and can be identified by the outer casing of the servo which is marked with a 'C'. The long duration solid-lifter camshaft that allowed the high revving 289 to make the horsepower it was known for, was not friendly for a low stall speed automatic torque converter. The "HiPo" could be spotted very easily by the 1-inch-thick (25 mm) vibration damper, (as compared to 1/2 inch on the 225-hp version) and the absence of a vacuum advance unit on the dual point distributor. With the valve covers off, there is a large letter "K" stamped between the valve springs, along with screw in studs (vs. a pressed in stud for other 289s) for the adjustable rocker arms. A large number of new paint and interior color options, an AM/eight-track sound system, and one of the first AM/FM mono automobile radios were also offered. It also removed the Falcon instrument cluster; the previously optional features, including the round gauges and padded sun visors, became standard equipment. The Mustang would be the best-selling convertible in 1966, with 72,119 sold, beating the number two Impala by almost 2:1.The 1965 and 1966 Mustangs are differentiated by variations in the exterior, despite similar design. These variations include the emblem on the quarter-panels behind the doors. From August 1964 production, the emblem was a single vertical piece of chrome, while for 1966 models the emblem was smaller in height and had three horizontal bars extending from the design, resembling an "E". The front intake grilles and ornaments were also different. The 1965 front grille used a "honeycomb" pattern, while the 1966 version was a "slotted" style. While both model years used the "Horse and Corral" emblem on the grille, the 1965 had four bars extending from each side of the corral, while on the 1966, these bars were removed. The 1966 model year saw introduction of 'High Country Special' limited edition, 333 of them were sold in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska.When Ford wanted to introduce the Mustang in Germany they discovered that Kruppcompany had already registered the name for a truck.The German company offered to sell the rights for US$10,000. Ford refused and removed Mustang badges from exported units, instead naming the cars as T-5 (a pre-production Mustang project name) for the German market until 1979 when Krupp copyrights expired.Have an idea for the show or think you'd make a great guest, send an email to the host:doug@turnkeypodcast.com Thanks for listening, keep it safe, keep in rollin' and keep it on the road!

History of Mustang (via Wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_numberSince it was introduced four months before the normal start of the 1965 production year and manufactured alongside 1964 Ford Falcons and 1964 Mercury Comets, the earliest Mustangs are widely referred to as the 1964½ model by enthusiasts.Nevertheless, all "1964½" cars were given 1965 U.S. standard VINs at the time of production, and - with limited exception to the earliest of promotional materials - were marketed by Ford as 1965 models. The low-end model hardtop used a "U-code" 170 cu in (2.8 L) straight-6 engine borrowed from the Falcon, as well as a three-speed manual transmission and retailed for US$2,368. Standard equipment for the early 1965 Mustangs included black front seat belts, a glove box light, and a padded dash board.Production began in March 1964 and official introduction following on April 17 at the 1964 World's Fair. V8 models got a badge on the front fender that spelled out the engine's cubic inch displacement ("260" or "289") over a wide "V." This emblem was identical to the one on the 1964 Fairlane.Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the "normal" 1965 model year in August 1964, about four months after its introduction. These cars are known as "late 65's". The engine lineup was changed, with a 200 cu in (3.3 L) "T-code" engine that produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). Production of the Fairlane's "F-code" 260 cu in (4.3 L) engine ceased when the 1964 model year ended. It was replaced with a new 200 hp (150 kW) "C-code" 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine with a two-barrel carburetor as the base V8. An "A-code" 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) four-barrel carbureted version was next in line, followed by the unchanged 289 HiPo "K-code" equipped with a 4-barrel Autolite 4100 carburetor rated at 271 hp (202 kW; 275 PS) at 6000 rpm and 312 lb⋅ft (423 N⋅m) at 3400 rpm.The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (a way to distinguish a 1964 from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says "GEN" or "ALT"). The Mustang GT version was introduced as the "GT Equipment Package" and included a V8 engine (most often the 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) 289), grille-mounted fog lamps, rocker panel stripes, and disc brakes. In the interior the GT option added a different instrument panel that included a speedometer, fuel gauge, temp. gauge, oil pressure gauge and ammeter in five round dials (the gauges were not marked with numbers, however.)A four-barrel carbureted engine was now available with any body style. Additionally, reverse lights were an option added to the car from August 1964 production. The Mustang was originally available as either a hardtop or convertible, but during the car's early design phases a fastback model was strongly considered. In 1965, the Shelby Mustang was born, it was available only in newly introduced fastback body version with its swept-back rear glass and distinctive ventilation louvers.The standard interior features of the 1965 Mustang included adjustable driver and passenger bucket seats, an AM radio, and a floor mounted shifter in a variety of color options.
