Today in fact I posted my very first podcast. Of course I never thought that that I would be here telling you we are getting ready to put up our 101st show at WhiteRoofRadio (show #74/#75 actually, but with the club and event shows, audio reviews and other misc. whatnot, it’s 100) and planning what to do for woofcast 100 and beyond!
This was only something to do to kill a few hours a week when I started it. Then Todd came on board and it rocked. Then we brought in Gabe (and the latest news from Motoringfile) and it rocked even more. Slowly but surely we have developed it into what it is now.
But, there is no way it would have gotten as far as it has without you, the listener, and all of your feedback, participation and help in promoting WRR to everyone that would listen. THANK YOU!
Is there more stuff coming in the future? Oh yea, you bet! Robert will continue to send in those soundseeing tours (I think they are just an excuse to have a young pretty girl ride shotgun, but I could be wrong), Michael Babishkin and I will be revisiting the event cast in July, covering all of the club stuff for MTTS. Plus the woofcasts will continue with more product reviews, more interviews and, of course, more yellow/automatic bashing!
Thanks for listening!
Amidst all the WRR server issues, and db’s dedication to getting us back to normal(!), I thought you might enjoy a little MINIart.
This weekend is the Canada Day long weekend (our national 2/4 Beerfest). Enjoy these typical Canadian winter scenes!
And Happy Birthday, Canada. (Oh, Stanley, what are you doing in Carolina??).

The rebuild continues!
As I mentioned earlier this week, all of the shows will be restored by Friday, if not sooner. All of the images will not be restored since many were and backups weren’t made. I am in the process of rebuidling the gallery right now and it too should be ready by Friday. Keep checking back!
If you sent in a picture for the gallery and it’s not there when the gallery again goes live, please let us know! Or, you can always resend the image.
Finally, if you find anything weird (other than missing shows or images for the rest of the week) please feel free to let us know! You can email us (feedback@whiteroofradio.com) or use the voicemail line (206) 33-WHITE or leave a comment below.
Thanks again for the patience gang!
You know your MINI needs a bath if you can do this:
From Statesman.com. There are about 9 more of these very clever ways to deal with a dusty boot window.
Thanks Jason for the tip!
You know we made you wait through all the server issues, so at least we made it a long one.
Update to the server issues. They should all be resolved. There was a final DNS hiccup that was causing many of you grief pretty much all day Monday, especially those of you west of California or Canada. I am happy to report that according to support, everything should be good to go.
Images and gallery rebuild should be completed by the end of the week. Todd should have the remaining missing episodes uploaded by the end of the week as well. If anything else comes missing, please let us know!

Trying again for Woof 72. Including the zipped version as I think it was short too.
Oh yea, click here to help support Way from Way Motor Works. Do it quick, the race is this Thursday!
Also, if you wanted to help Randy and the WMS Race Team, go over to the sponsorship page. Get those in by Tuesday the 27th and Todd will be able to get the cash to Randy before the next race!
For those of you that didn’t notice, Whiteroofradio.com suffered a severe crash last night.
I’m in the process of rebuilding everything now and am almost finished. Somethings you might notice…
- Not all of the shows are back yet. We are working on getting them all uploaded.
- Woof72 only plays for about 27 minutes. The upload last night got corrupted. I’m uploading a new copy and repost once it’s up. Watch for woof72 - 2
- Some of the pages are missing. Most noteably the gallery. I will be working to restore those images this week.
- Your comment has gone into moderation. This one shouldn’t happen, but if it does, it’s nothing to worry about
- The entire site looks ‘different’. I didn’t have a current back-up of the WRR WordPress theme, so things will be changing throughout the week.
Again, thanks for you patience! Woof 72 will be ready shortly.

Another racing show? C’mon now gang, you know how we get. If we do 1, we are going to do 2.
Todd’s brings a bit more info about the GP. We review the class specifics for the North American MINI Cooper Challenge again. Plus, Gabe and Todd can’t stop watching that VW Micro Bus getting airborne then splashing through a puddle.

The big seven-oh! That’s 490 in dog years! Bonus is we do go long, getting caught up.
Everyone back where they belong and recounting the weeks activities. db complains about mid-west weather and troubles at the airport while Gabe can’t believe the number of car washes in SoCal. Oh yea, the cool thing about United Airlines? Listen in on channel 9. Well, we do, but we’re geeks like that.
Besides Gabe’s first trip to LA, we count last weekend at St. Louis for the Phil Wicks Driving Academy/North American MINI Cooper Challenge. Oh yea, we also cover news of the week and this video that Gabe and Todd couldn’t stop watching.

You heard it on Woof 69. Go here for information about sponosoring WMS for the rest of the season!
You just never know what great MINI stuff you’ll see in-and-around the streets of Toronto.
How about this? I’d like to see this Mini under Randy’s control! Todd, should we loan it to him?
(And I don’t know what that weird tornado-like cloud is above the Mini!).

St. Louis Race Weekend recap. Just listen…
Todd did everything
Let’s see…in French ‘you’ singular is vous (voo) and ‘you’ plural is vous vous. We singular is nous ‘noo’ and we plural is nous nous. English doesn’t have a difference between singular and plural you or we…hmmm
So they might not be ‘yer ‘cuzzins from the ’saouth, they might be cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Voila (vwa - la)
Todd did everything
Hey gang!
Todd and I just got back from St. Louis where we had a pretty full weekend. You can get an idea of what happened over at Motoringfile, plus I’ll be doing a full write up over at dbmini tomorrow.
In the meantime, check back tomorrow for a full recap and Woof #69.
Sorry for the delay gang. Trust me when I say the story we have to tell will be worth it!
Now appearing in bus shelters around Toronto, it’s MINI Canada’s latest poster. I thought you’d get a kick out of the message.
Makes you kind of hungry, doesn’t it?
This donut is a little different than the one I showed you here: click it
