Last week CNN 650 AM asked us to to an interview with their morning show about our involvement with the Fiesta Movement. So of course I recorded the whole thing to bring to our listeners complete with all the technical issues you’ve grown to love!

It’s time for a bonus round! So after yesterday’s podcast I went back out to visit with Adam Barrera after a fun filled night at the final Scion Drag-n-Brag hosted at Texas MotorSpeedway where we exposed the scandal at Mayor’s Cup Challenge Media Race. Then we speculate on the “What is 230?” debate. (now we know it’s the proposed gas mileage for the Chevy Volt) and after all that we wrap up the cast with a round table discussion of the new 2010 Taurus SHO! Be on the look out for our video review which should be posted in the next few days. After we wrapped up the show we headed out to the Yellow Rose Classic which is an all Ford car show put on at the Amon Carter Museam over in Fort Worth by the North Texas Mustang Club. Its too bad Nick couldn’t make it for this cast. He had some excuse about having to work a real job or something like that.

This week we’re hearing rumors about something called the Smart For3, and Adam Barrera from HighMileage.org joins us with James Redman to discuss what the U.S auto industry can do to shake that bad image they seem to be draging around.

This week BMW is leaving F1, just in time for Shumacher to come back (at the time this show was recorded Shumacher had yet to renounce his come back). In the super car world Porche’s dream job just got a bit better, Ferrari anounces the 458 Italia. Aston Martin and Elite team up on the LMV/R , Jalopnik says we might have a new Bugatti, and Audi is tinkering with an all electric R8. On the American side of the pond, Ford plans for Mustang to join NASCAR, and Cash for Clunkers is already out of cash (and has since received $2 Billion in additional funding). Then across the Pacific Toyota and Subaru have united to build the Toyobaru, but now it’s leaner and not any meaner.

This week the Fiesta climbs Pikes Peak, Valentino Rossi may make the jump to F1, Nick finds proof that Germans can’t drive, and the Wienermobile just won’t fit in your garage no matter how hard you try. Then some nut job finally went and did it, they’ve gone and built a car for the blind! Ford puts the 1.6L ecoboost in to the 2011 Focus. Aston Martin finally comes to their senses about the Lagonda. And then it’s time to Get Thee to a Nunnery. Oh and I almost forgot, the French are angry agian.

Note: I am aware this is really late and that we are 5 podcasts behind, but rest assured they have all been uploaded and will be releasing one per day all week long. Thanks for hanging in there while we were away.

Watch this! Watch it now! You will be awed as the 800 hp Ford Fiesta flys up Pikes Peak during the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

We’ve got a special show for you guys this week. About a week back I got to spend the day with Adam Barrera at the Ford Transit Connect Media Event. Yes, yes I know this episode is really late in getting aired but I’ve been side tracked with the new toy Adam dropped off for us. What toy? Well you’ll just have to listen to the show and find out. Now incase you guys don’t know who Adam Barrera is then you need to head on over to www.highmileage.org and check out his work. He’s one of the best freelance automotive journalists in Texas if not the country and he agreed to hang out with us on our podcast too.

We didn’t cover just a whole lot of material in this episode but we did discuss our thoughts on Ford’s new Transit Connect, and then we got side tracked with some discussion about “our fellow sideways hat enthusistis” as Adam would put it which led to topics like the new Ford Mustang vs. the new Hyundai Genisis Coupe, and the we geeked out for a while talking about modern classics like the Corvette and Viper.

How cool is that? Terry Box did an awesome write up on us and the Fiesta Movement in Today’s Dallas Morning News. You guys can check it out here. (link works after the jump)  There’s also a really good video, although we sound like goobers in it.

For some reason this week we couldn’t stay on track. However we did manage to put together a new record for our 50th episode and at nigh on two hours long we have a new longest podcast ever! Anyway we took a look at what Business Week calls The 25 Most Iconic Cars of the Past 20 years. And then after some news we launched in to our epic compairson of the Ford Fiesta vs. everything else in the sub compact class. It was a close race but to find out who came out on top you’ll just have to listen to the podcast.

Can you believe this is going up two weeks after we recorded it? Anyway, we sat down with the guys from Gear Head Haven and put together almost 2 hours of gear head goodness. This week we’ve got loads of good stuff out of F1:  Jensen Button gets win number 6, Lotus may come back to F1, and FIA and FOTA go head to head. And when the powers of Chrysler and  Fiat unite it’s enough to make bond holders cry themselves to sleep at night . Then we’ve got a few tasty tidbits about an all wheel drive Ferrari, and a possible BMW Y series. The car god himself has spoken on Saturn’s new focus on electric cars. And from our friends from across the pond, we’ve got a Bugatti Veryon for only $25K,  the world famous Top Gear Test Track is now on the endangered species, and the Aston Martin Rapied has been spied. And in the realm of new and uber cool we’ve got the one the only Ferrari Enzo II and the return of the CobraJet! And ofcourse we’ve got our weekly Fiesta Update.

This week on Burnout Radio, we start with a new format which hopefully over the next few weeks will be hammered into something glorious, but knowing us, probably not. Obama states that he wants nothing to do with GM. GM files bankruptcy, and they managed to sell both Hummer and Saturn. We found some nifty spy photos of the new Ford Fiesta sedan. Devon motors releases a trickle of info about the new GTX super car and let’s not forget the Scorpion and the Bewerp. We also found out that the U.S. Airforce tried to top the National Guard for the “who has the cooler car award” with the Mustang X1 and the Challenger Vapor. Speaking of custom cars, we also try and figure out if American Muscle can be green. Then we ask the question, “What have we come to as a society when thieves don’t have the common curtosy to at least put your car on blocks when they steal your wheels?”

Holy Jesus I have to have this.

And for those of you who want to see it in action.

What happens when two Fiesta Movement teams unite? Shenanigans ensue of course! We got to geek out with a couple fellow gear heads, Bryan and Brandon, from Racetech Performance about the new 2010 Ford Fiesta and hopefully we’ll have them back on the show after they get a chance to run it around a track or two. We also found out that your new Viper just may come the show room smelling like garlic bread. Chevy hints at a drop top Camaro, and the new BMW GT Hatch is butt ass ugly. Bring back the Bengal Butt!

Be Our Guest! Be Our Guest! Be Our Guest! OK enough with the Beauty and the Beast references. This week we have a truly awesome podcast lined up for you guys. We add a third member to our podcasting posse for this episode. We’ve got some awesome Fiesta news from the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb. In the weekly Obama update, the Government buys GM, and GM’s bondholders become stock holders all in a doomed attempt to save GM from bankruptcy. JP Morgan’s Auto Analyst thinks one fifth of all cars on the road will be hybrids by the year 2020.

And then, you guys have been asking for it and we’ve finally delivered. We have our FIRST GUEST EVER on the show! Steven Kursar, Ford’s Communications Manager for the South Central Region, was kind enough to agree to be on our show today. He gave us an awesome interview and has set the bar high for all of our future guests. Many many thanks to Jason Woods for inviting us out last week to show off The Beast, and also to Alvaro Cabal for putting this interview together.

We got a call from Mission Control telling us to “Grab a friend, blindfold them, drive them to a place they know and see if they can guess where they are.” Which we intepreted as “Grab a friend, take them to the middle of nowhere, dump them off with the Fiesta, and tell them to find their own way back to civilization.”

So, of course we chose Jini. She’s the voice you hear at the beginning of all our podcasts, and we wanted to say thank you for all the hard work she does for us. And as we all know there is no better way to say thank you to a friend then dumping them off all by themselves in a strange place with no directions home.

So, needless to say we failed gloriously. Not only did we get the mission instructions wrong, as it turns out, the middle of nowhere we picked out for the mission happened to be right down the street from Jini’s friend’s house.

This week the Italians Invade the U.S, China plots to take over Sweden and the Japanese manage to beat their own record, which still leaves them slacking behind the U.S. We expound on the rumored 370z Hybrid, discuss the Scirocco R20T, then we pine after the Bentley Continental Super Sports. And last but ceartinly not least the good folks at Ford invited us to bring the Fiesta out for a visit with them at their Dallas office where they hooked us up with some cool Mustang swag and we got to get behind the wheel of the new 2010 Ford Fusion Sport for a quick trip around the block, which we will defiantly have to take for an extended test drive later. And as always we’ve got your weekly Obama update.

The Beast a 2009 Euro Spec Ford Fiesta

Have you driven the Fiesta? Then tell us about it! We want everyone who has driven The Beast, that’s what we named our Fiesta, or if you’ve drive another agents Fiesta we want to here about that too! And if you’re an agent then we defiantly want to hear from you too! Basically, we want to hear from any and every one who has driven the Fiesta. Tell us what you think about it. What did Ford get right? What do you think needs to be changed for the Fiesta to be better suited to the U.S. market?

Thats right we’re on the news! Miss Vanessa Brown did an awesome piece on us and the Fiesta Movement for KDAF.

Tell us what you think! We’ll also be on her show, DFW Close Up, Sunday at 7am.

Sorry about the audio quality on this one guys, we were out of the studio again since we were busy recording our Fiesta Movement Mission for this month. You can check that out over at www.youtube.com/burnoutradio . But this week we’re bringing you our review of the Fiesta after two weeks of driving it around town. Next week we’re back in the studio and attempting a live broadcast for the first time. So join us Friday afternoon on Ustream.

This week Audi turns 100, Toyota drops the price on the Prius to compete with the insight, Chrysler is going to provide some electric mini vans to the Post Office. We found a 550 hp Fiesta Rally Car, Gm is selling Pontiac which makes me want to fire bomb China, and then we take a look at the Lexus LF-A. We also found an entry level Rolls Royce for all you failed hedge fund managers in the new Ghost. Novitec Released a new Super car called the TuLesto, and then Nick gets his jollies off on the Mantide.

More super lateness. Guess what! Saturn’s for sale, the Fiesta outsells the Golf, Oboma’s Building a highspeed rail, and Big cars are safer! No crap. And as for stuff you might actually care about Top Gear gets a museum. the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is announced, and we look at the BMW 760Li and the Cadillac Converj. And let’s not forgets that Bill Gates is plotting to take over your soul, er… I mean car.
