Todd and I spent the weekend in Pennslyvania, helping to celebrate the grand opening of the newest MINI dealer in the US, MINI of Allentown. While we were there, we took a bunch of photos that you can see above, and we interviewed more than a few people, including Bill Stoeckel, General Manager, and our good friend Jim McDowell. We even have video to follow!
If you are in that area, you should stop by to check them out for services, parts, MINI accessories or even a new MINI. Don’t forget the rule if you do. Make sure to tell them White Roof Radio sent you! Especially if you might be looking for a WC-50. They have one of the last 20 or so for sale in the States if you are still looking for one.
Finally, huge thanks to Joe and the rest of the Philly MINI club for hosting us, keeping us out of trouble and overall showing us a great time. We think they run one of the better MINI clubs and always show everyone a great time! And also a HUGE thanks to the Marzo’s from Lions Collision Center for giving Todd a place to install graphics.

A quick wrap-up of MTTS, some audio from the east coast rally, and I hit a cat. We aren’t quite done with MTTS either. I’ve got my write-up going up in multiple parts this week, plus there is still some video coming to the WRR YouTube Channel.
Don’t forget, Todd and I will be at MINI of Allentown this coming Saturday from 9AM until we’re done and think it would be keen to see as many of you as possible!

This is to bring the iTunes page back to life.
A quick note to the affliates. This is not Woofcast 348 for August 1st. That was last year. Let it go.
And, HOLY CRAP! 5 years of White Roof Radio? Are you kidding? We are just as amazed as you, trust me. And, along with the intro flub, Woofcast 1 went up on the 4th of August, not the 2nd.
As a nice gift to us, we will be on the air on radio very very soon. You are going to have to wait to get more details about that after MTTS, but don’t worry, you’ll find out about it. Or, catch any of us at MTTS and we might fill you in.
As mentioned, this will be the last episode before MTTS. Check back tomorrow for a complete update for what WRR will be bringing you next week.
Otherwise, news like we like to do from Motoringfile. Plus a complete recap of what WRR has done since we started this little dog and pony show 5 years ago. Thanks for sticking with us, thanks for sharing us with your friends and thanks for being the best fans ever invented! You guys and gals seriously rule!

All of the White Roof Radio crew made it back to their respective start places from MTTS this week. No missing fingers, no missing toes and only 1 ‘driving award’. It was an epic trip that we will be recapping for you on next weeks show.
We’re also still working on closing out MTTS. More photos and audio interviews will follow soon.
Some of you (ok, almost all of you) noticed that, during our absence from the ‘internet airwaves’ during MTTS, something weird happened with the WRR iTunes page. Like, all of the shows magically disappeared. That was an oversight by me for not fixing that before hitting the road earlier this month. I can tell you that it has been corrected for now and iTunes should be updating shortly.
The fix is temporary and might make the feed look odd if you view it in a reader. Don’t worry, the keyword here is temporary and I will be resetting things to normal service as soon as possible.
Today is Thursday, August 12th. I’m in Grand Junction, Colorado and have spent the last 5 days motoring from Los Angeles to get this far and we arrive in Denver tomorrow.
So far the trip has been fantastic! From the pool party at the Valley Ho, the Ice Lounge at -5 in Las Vegas and Quincy’s in Grand Junction, it’s been non-stop awesome. Sure it’s been a ton of miles, but it’s been a ton of miles in MINIs with some of the greatest folks you’ll ever meet; the MINI Cooper Enthusiast!
The MINI I am driving is a 2010 MINI Cooper, Chili Red/Black Top and JCW Aero Kit. I must say that when I first saw this car I was scratching my head. I mean, who would think to put an aero kit on a car without the Sport Package bits, right? The more I live with it the more the look with 15″ wheels really grows on me. I’m even starting to not mind the automatic transmission, kinda.
So far this has been an epic journey through the deserts of the Western United States. Everyone coming from this end is excited about MINIs in the Mountains and MTTS. Personally, I can’t wait!
