Well at the last minute right before the live 100th episode of WhiteRoofRado.com was about to be recorded, I got an idea to put up a quick chat room on MotoringFun.com. Found Parachat and it worked like a dream! Thanks to all who participated and to DB, Todd, Gabe and the rest of the WRR cast of characters for letting us be a part of this historic event! We MUST do this again soon!
This is the fourth in a 4-part series of Steve (2phun) driving the Dragon a few weeks ago. In this camera angle, Steve follows a WRX and shows us how to stay in your lane! Thanks to Steve for shooting some AWESOME footage and letting me post this up.

For those who don’t know, WhiteRoofRadio.com hosts a weekly podcast (actually they have 2 podcasts a week) with hosts db, Todd, and Gabe where they sit around and discuss MINI stuff. It really is quite informative and fun to listen too. Well anyways… they are going to tape their 100th show tonight LIVE via Skype. The first 100 people who go to the link below at 6pm PST tonight will get a chance to enter the virtual studio and participate in MINI history! Congratulations to the WhiteRoofRadio.com crew and keep up the (Gabe – this is for you) “fan-tas-tic” work!

Now here is some exciting track video of the new MINI Traveller / Clubman! That’s what I am talking about! Further makes me want to replace my mini-van with one of these! Thanks for gobsmacked for this great find!
Let’s give props to MSN Autos for covering MINIs twice in the past week or so. This article gives us their take on the new design with some familiar photos that I am sure you have already seen ;). Props also go out to Minvader for finding this first (I think he uses the force to locate MINI-related content!).

This is the third in a 4-part series of Steve (2phun) driving the Dragon a few weeks ago. In this rear-facing camera angle, a trailing motorcycle rider makes for a very entertaining video shoot. Stay tuned for Part 4!

For those that missed MINI Takes the States or for those that want more MINI “motoring fun”, North East MINI (NEMI.org) is putting together an East Coast MINI event that starts in Florida and ends in Maine (or even New Hampshire for those true MINIacs!)
“A MINI event dedicated to MINI owners who just can’t get enough… you guessed it… ice cream! How much is not enough? How about a seven day trip from Florida up to Maine including stops at some of the best ice cream shops you’ll ever visit? We’re not talking Carvel or Dairy Queen here. We’re talking homemade ice cream!
And for the real enthusiast, how about topping off the whole trip with MINIs on Top 2007?” That’s right! This trip is timed so that those interested can wander over to New Hampshire the day before MOT begins OR stay in Bar Harbor overnight and do the full sunrise to sunset MOT experience. The choice is yours!

Looks like the new MINI configurator is ready to roll and was shown off at the Paris Auto Show:
I finally got around to watching the Premiere of that new show “Heroes” tonight after it has been sitting in my DVR all week. Great show by the way! Kind of like “Smallville meets Lost meets The Matrix”. Very interesting story lines of how superheroes get their start by discovering their powers. But this isn’t a TV show blog so why am I bringing this up? Well, about 43 minutes into the episode, there is a scene where the Japanese teleporter Trekkie gets thrown out of a bar and into an alley. Well wouldn’t you know – a classic Mini happens to be parked there. Cool huh?
