White Roof Radio - The Mini Cooper Podcast

Recorded as the rest of you were headed to #mtts2016. We talk sales, or lack there of and other news from MotoringFile.com and a few others that we found over the week, including our take on Top Gear. Also, please, for the love of Alex, please do not use expanding foam or caulk to silence the rattles in your MINI. MTTSers, don't forget about as you pass through Michigan this week! Stop by and say hi to Chad and hang out at the shop on your way to St. Ignace! If you are looking for something else to listen, we'd appreciate it if you could check out the latest show under the White Roof; . Talking about bicycles once per week. And beer. Lots of beer. | |

In this episode, we find Todd and Alex talking about what you would expect; their JCWs. Alex gives us more information about his new car that I know many of you will enjoy. Then we talk tech and the JD Power survey. For those of you heading out to MTTS, find our girl AJ starting in Atlanta if you are looking for MTTS badges, decals or magnets. Then watch for Todd starting in Minnesota.   

With Todd busy getting ready for MTTS and Chad super busy at , it's just Alex and I this week, which is awesome since Alex just bought a 2016 JCW! Besides hearing all about (and me being disappointed that it doesn't have a white roof), we talk about some of the news from . I also doubt that the US is getting a diesel. Again. If you are going on MTTS, make sure to find our man Todd. He'll have a selection of badges, stickers and magnets for the event in case you did not get yours in time from .

The boys soldier on in my absence. Joined by Gabe to cover news from MotoringFile.com. Not only that, but an epic Ask Chad talking about tires and wheels. A note to the affliates, we do go long this week. It's MTTS season! We will be trying to cover the event as best as we can, so stay tuned!    

Full notes to follow, but these are the changes that are coming for the 2017 MINI Model year including price and options. 

Joined tonight by Mr. MotoringFile, Gabe Bridger, we spend more than a fair amount of time talking about MINIs, like we like to do. There was the Car & Driver long-term review of the F56 that Gabe took issue with, and that started quite the conversation. Talked about sales, and the ongoing trend of sales […]

Just in time for you holiday! Should the JCW run closer to 300HP? Is MINI Getting Car Play? Is Alex having problems with cats? All of these questions, plus listener feedback, in this weeks show! Have a great Memorial Day weekend guys! Download |WRR @ iTunes | Show Notes

All over the automotive landscape tonight. MINI News, as usual, plus a few other things. Like how this featuring the ridiculous BMW commercial (below). And more about how the car show is dying. And a little about the upcoming All4 Clubman. That and we finally let Alex make a Star Wars reference! Download |WRR @ […]

Todd, Alex and I talking more about what is wrong with MINI these days. There is a prerequisite for this show. Go over and read the Hipster Malarky about the new MINI Seven first. It is truly some of the most ridiculous marketing materials we have ever read. When you are done, take a minute […]

Talking about MINI Cooper stuff with Chad, Alex and Todd, like we like to do. News from Motoringfile as well as this story from the WSJ and this about pending lawsuits against MINI, plus a few other things. A great show if you ask me that you guys will really like! Download |WRR @ iTunes […]

Actually a bit more than a day late, but by show time, it’s a day late. It’s the new math. News from Motoringfile, shout-outs to you guys (thanks for all the feedback on the last show) and talking to Todd about buying a new car every week. Plus, would you rent your MINI, AirBNB style, […]

Alex is back! Since illness and other things kept us from making a show last week, you might think that we had a few things to say, and you’d be right. The boys were pretty revved up tonight, and I think it makes for a pretty great show! Don’t forget, event season is just around […]

With Chad out sick, Alex still adjusting to the cost of living in CA (and waiting for his show gear to arrive via donkey train, I think) and Gabe’s flight running late, Todd and I soldiered on. Talking about some good MINI stuff, like we like to do. We discussed sales, including this about the […]

Joined by (Mr. MotoringFile)[http://www.motoringfile.com] tonight, we discuss all things F56, including some new revalations Todd shares about his new JCW. That, plus safety results (awesome!) and Gabe compares the new Clubman to the JCW Roadster. You are going to like this one! Download |WRR @ iTunes | Show Notes

Breaking our silence! There is a very good reason for that as Todd has added a Chili Red JCW F56 to his stable. And I added another bicycle. The bulk of the show is, of course, talking about Todd’s new MINI (also has the JCW Exhaust) and how much Todd is in love with it. […]

Now that we have all, mostly, returned to the land of the living, we thought it would be a good idea to do a show. Todd, Chad and I doing what we do. Talking about MINIs and other cars. How about the way manufacturers pad the books to boost their sales numbers? And some talk […]

Just getting it into the feed gang. Notes to follow. Special thanks to our man Brian Dallas for covering for db (who was sick) and Alex (who was something else). Download |WRR @ iTunes | Show Notes

News from MotoringFile, including a visit by Gabe as we drove around Vegas in a Dodge Dart, Ask Chad and some programing updates.

News from MotoringFile.com, including some talk about the new convertible, new transmissions and the new Clubman with All4. Not to mention some shocking numbers about the resale value of the F56.
