Last Friday, Todd and I were invited to check out one of the latest MINI Cooper dealers on the East Coast; Otto’s MINI of Exton. They used to be up the road in Westchester, but had the chance to take over this fantastic space and make the home for MINIs in their area.
11+ service bays, one of the largest showrooms I have even seen at a MINI dealer and a lot so big, I thought the VDC was contracting with them to store MINIs fresh from Oxford!
Everyone we met was great! Very excited about the new store and very excited about continuing to work with Philly MINI and their local community. And, they are also excited to be able to start selling this in the very near future.
We had a great time if you couldn’t tell! If you get the chance, definitely go over to Otto’s MINI to check out the new space. And, of course, don’t forget to let them know that White Roof Radio sent you!

Todd got a great interview with Dr. Kay Segler, MINI Brand Manager Worldwide, at the Detroit Auto Show this past week. Dr. Kay was in a great mood talking with Todd about all great things MINI, including hints of a possible reboot of the JCW MINI GP.

db’s thoughts about those not racing MINIs at Dakar, Todd goes on about windscreen wipers and Chad answers your questions, just your normal run of the mill Woofcast.
There is a lot going on around here. Todd was at the NAIAS this week and got some great interviews that we will be sharing a little later this week. Later this week, you will find both Todd and I at Otto’s MINI of Exton helping them celebrate their grand opening! It’s definitely a big week, stick around!
For those of you that missed it, we also broke the start date and ending city for MTTS. We will have more details about this in the very near future. Make sure you are playing the home game over at Facebook or Twitter to find out sooner than later.

Todd just found some details about the upcoming MINI Takes the States event. The dates are July 4-15 and it will be a cross country trip from east to west. Route details, events and other information is not yet available.
MINI Takes the States is a giant, bi-annual, road trip put on by MINIUSA. It started in 2006 as a way to celebrate the MINI Cooper JCW GP. It was such a huge hit that it has been repeated in 2008 and 2010, both of which were great events!
Stay tuned. Todd is in Detroit at the NAIAS and is getting some great interviews. Expect more exclusives very very soon!

Gabe, Todd, Chad and db doing what they do best; Talking about Cadillacs. And MINIs, especially our favorite The Clubman. We all really like it quite a bit, especially in Hampton trim as Gabe caught view of last week.
Also welcome Otto’s MINI of Exton to the sponsor roster. Thank them further by making plans to visit on Friday, January 13th 2012 as they celebrate their grand opening in this new location! If you are looking for even more of a reason to hang out a brand new MINI dealership, Todd and I will be there all day! Doing what we do and sharing with the rest of the MINI Community. Hope to see as many of you as possible, especially between 6:00p and 8:00p. We’re told that’s when the party will be happening!
One more show before the new year and we are going to try to do it live. Follow along on the Twitter for more details.

(4) commentsFor those of you that missed it over at MotoringFile, it’s official! MINI United is on for May 11-13, 2012! Click over for the full press release and details that we have right now.
We’ve mentioned this on the show already, but 2012 is shaping up to be a pretty busy year in the MINI Community, and White Roof Radio is going to be there every step of the way! You will be seeing us at Dealer Grand Openings, The Dragon, AMVIV 9 and, with any luck, MINI United. Finally, MTTS has been confirmed for next summer and you know we’ll be all over that, right?
Who’s excited?

News from Motoringfile.com and Ask Chad, just the way you like it. We do spend a fair amount of time talking about MINI Connected this week and have all come to the conclusion that it’s a pretty good deal and the potential is there for some very cool stuff. A couple of Ask Chad questions have the queue almost empty, so you should get those questions in!
A little event news. For those that missed it, the dates for AMVIV 9 have been announced. You know where to find the WRR/MF crew June 14 – June 17, 2012, right? That’s right, Vegas baby! Expect a lot more event news in the very near feature!
