Coffee gets us started and somehow we end up talking about Monkeys. Especially the drunk ones.
It’s Todd’s GP update (his boat isn’t the one that sunk) and more ‘07 discussion, including talk about the questionable weight difference of the ‘07MCS.
Don’t forget the MPG contest. Motoringbadges.com is now open for business. I hear that there are going to be some new designs coming soon (shhhhh).

At least I think it’s number 6.
Robert takes another MINI newbie out for a terror inducing, tire squealing ride through the streets of Ontario, Canada. Sure the newbie is a girl (and quite a bit younger this time too!), but you should know that’s his M.O. by now gang! From WRR listener jSchwa:
weekdaypirate: dude… i’m pretty sure i can hear the braces and pigtails in that girls voice
Just make sure you get her driving the MINI when she gets her license!

Well, they’re actually not here. They’re there (in magazines, in the U.S.). The super secret kit is not available in Canada, but the first ad is now appearing in the August issue of Business 2.0.
Check it out:
If you have a spy kit, can you translate for your WRR friends around the world? We hate being left out of anything MINI!

Wow! A whole lotta show for all y’all tonight!
You have to excuse the late hour. Both Todd and I were plagued with technical issues for most of the day.
But I do have pictures from WRR listener Nozz. Check these out while you download:
Don’t forget about the MPG contest that started yesterday.

Back from our break finally and spend most of the time catching up with news plus we have a new contest!
Outmotoring enjoyed the last contest so much, they have offered prizes for yet another. Here’s the prizes:
- Outmotoring Arm rest
- OM T-shirt, hat and a $25 gift certificate
- OM Hat and MINI Valve stem caps
- 3 Motoringfile Grille badges…your choice
Here’s the skinny. Gas prices are going crazy again so it’s time for a MPG contest! Looking for:
- Highest MPG from an MC or MC One
- Hightest MPG from an MCS
- Highest MPG from a non-MINI
- Highest MPG from a MINI One -D
Besides tracking your mpg (odometer start-odometer end/total gallons purchased…no OBC!) we gotta have some trash talk to the voicemail line at (206) 33-WHITE or send in an audio comment to feedback@whiteroofradio.com. Contest runs until August 31st. You can also see the rules here
Be sure to check back tomorrow for some cool pics plus an interview with WRR listener Nozz.
For those of you having a hard time getting zipped version of shows older than 59, they don’t exist any longer. If you ask really nice, I could totally hook you up

I was back in Ottawa, Canada this past weekend. Check the license plate I spotted on a Cooper. (Note: the pic was taken with the lousy camera on my MOTO SLVR. For such a great phone, you’d think they’d toss in a halfway decent camera. But, no!).
But it’s a terrific license plate for a Cooper. Guess what it wants to be when it grows up?

The Canadian ‘Special Edition’ MINIs are arriving. The ‘Rallye’ version is an S with Sport and Premium packages. The ‘Competition’ version is an S with those packages, factory JCW and Aero Kit. And we were told there would be no more factory JCWs in Canada. Surprise, surprise, eh?
Oh, the wheels on the Rallye are, as Gabe told us, FLAME SPOKES (sometimes affectionately called The Horeshoe Wheels).
Nice badge on the door pillar. And nice shot of me in the reflection. And nice shot of Howard and Bart, the sales guy, waving to all the nice WRR listeners

Some things that you may notice…
I have implemented a new comment spam catcher. Actually using Akismet instead of closing comments. You will start seeing comments re-open on older shows over the rest of the month. and current show comments will be staying open.
Also I have moved the searches off to their own page here. You will find the site and Podzinger search there. You can also get to it from the top of the page and I will be working on getting the site search bar back on all of the pages soon.
Gallery, in it’s somewhat still limited form, will be returning this week. Check it out when it does come back and feel free to resend those pictures if you aren’t seeing them!
Thanks!
Yet more goodness from the WRR Way Back Machine for you!
This time it’s Todd’s turn and he has a little more fun than I did making the show. It’s a shorty, but it’s all good!
We will be back next week with some way cool stuff! Just gotta trust me on that one gang.
Todd did everything (well, ok, except post the show if you have to pick nits)

Just because we are on break doesn’t mean you don’t get a woofcast!
db fires up the way back machine to bring you some nuggets from Woofcast #1 (why it’s called a woofcast), Woofcast #21 (the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald…good times), Woofcast #2 (service and automatic bashing, kinda) and Woofcast #19 (listener emails).
Check back tomorrow for more wayback machine goodness! And yes, we will all be back for #80.

Now this is cool:
A video blog by MINI in Denmark. Well worth checking out. Scroll down to see some pretty good stuff, MINI and otherwise.
Gabe, you know all. What’s the story behind this? It’s worth yakking about on the podcast, methinks.

Holy crap! Robert truly taking one for the team here as he drives Howard’s Lincoln somethinghuge. Everything is HUGE in this vehicle and turns take 9 points!
Was that a little jab at the automatic I heard there Robert?

We spend some time talking about the last shuttle launch and got a little sidetracked. It didn’t help that db was distracted watching crash videos.
Plus Todd’s GP update and Gabe talks about the JCW car that he just spent a week driving.
I’m sure you might have noticed that we aren’t quite as, um, sharp, as we could be. This wasn’t mentioned in the show, but we will be taking this week off. Don’t worry, we are going to put up some best of shows for you instead and will be back for Woofcast #80!
Todd did the hard part…(no, really. You can trust me this time)
