As many of you know, we are rapidly coming up on show #100! In fact, we will be recording it next Thursday, October 5th.
For the occasion, the entire WRR team will be on that night. Myself, Todd and Gabe as usual, plus Michael and Robert! It should be a lot of fun!
I will be setting up a live audio chat room that will hold up to 100 listeners for this event! It’s going to be first come, first served.
If you are interested in listening in as we do this, you will need a program called Skype (www.skype.com) and a way to listen. The download is free and it is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
You don’t even need a microphone for this. Just a set of headphones or speakers to listen in. This will primarily be listen only (since it’s our first time) but if you have a microphone, I have a few ideas for some fun stuff.
If you are interested in listening in, download and install Skype by following the link above. Then, check back next Thursday at 6:00PM PST (02:00 GMT I believe) for details on how to get connected so you can join us.
It should be a lot of fun! If this is something that works well, we might use it more in the future.
Robert’s back!. He took a break during MTTS to catch up on his NASCAR races and he returns with a MINI full of his cousins on a rainy night in the ‘hood.
They attack a 40kmp/h onramp at close to 100kmp/h! TWICE! And the lads proceede to take us to task over the Horseshoe wheels and Liquid Yellow, plus take some shots at the GP. Me, I think it’s jealousy. I think they actually get Robert’s MINI airborne too!
If you haven’t listened to any of these yet, this would be a great one to start with!

We go in depth about Automatics.
Torque converter vs. DSG vs. SMG. I think we were pretty thorough and left nary a stone unturned. Of course, you are more than welcome to contribute in the comments below!
Cool stuff for #100/#101 coming up later this week. No trust me. A hint? Well, you might want to have a copy of this handy, you know, just in case. Full details will be posted at the end of the week.
Be sure to check back on Wednesday for Robert’s latest Soundseeing tour! I have a feeling this one is going to be good.

Earlier this morning we were at #4.
Now we are at #3! That is much better! Thanks everyone!!!
That’s more like it! Thanks everyone for listening and subscribing! We do appreciate it.
Updates and changes. Gabe explains the changes at Motoringfile and does a mini-review of a BMW he test drove. Todd does go on and on AND on about the JCW and his GP (again), then tells me not only that I can’t handle a JCW, but then caps on the Cooper a bit (again). Let him have it gang! He was warned.
Don’t worry, MINI stuff coming next week!

Yet another news show for your listening pleasure. There were lots of big stories this week, and we hit ‘em all! Did I mention that we talked about AWD? I tried to get them to stop, but just couldn’t do it. It’s ok because I made up for it by talking about a news story 2 days early. Oops.

- 1st Place – MINI Cooper – The Wingnut household* wins an Outmotoring Arm Rest!

We do a bit of reminiscing over MTTS, starting with the pictures. There is the MTTS Flickr Group, Gabe’s Flickr and Ian’s Gallery with over 250 pictures!
Full shout-outs to everyone too, especially MINI and RA Events for really putting on this unforgettable event!
Some how we got talking about lug nut torque again. Don’t worry about letting us know, Todd beat you to it:
- 88.5 ft. lbs of torque for non-GPs
- 103 ft lb for the GP per the manual

Be sure to check out this MINI rolling at the ‘Ring and the 2007 in motion video over at Motoringfile. More from the week, we discussed competition to the MINI.
If you haven’t already, you should also go back through the MTTS archives, especially the Stracco interview and Fireball Tim in Dallas. Good stuff all around.

How about a little bit of reporting from those of you that have actually participated in MTTS this time around? Plus, Todd did a great Interview with Ian Cull and Gabe where he got their take, after 2,000 miles, on the GP.
Coming down the home stretch gang and we are almost done! Make sure if you are out for these last few days that you go out and thank any of the MINIUSA folks you can for putting on such a great event! Oh yea, thank Fireball Tim and his crew too for helping out with our MTTS Coverage!

Fireball Tim and Andrew Cutler ride the Italian Job rollercoaster at Kings Dominion. Someone better keep an eye on Hubie before he mods those cars!

Todd revisited MTTS with Gabe and managed to get a little bit more recording done. They spoke with Jim McDowell from MINIUSA and the owner of this car that was in the first accident of the event. No body was hurt, and if you can find them, there are pictures of the interior and you can’t even tell there is any damage.
Did I mention they got to turn a lap at The Brickyard?
We’re almost done gang! Only a few more days to go. I will be posting voicemail updates tomorrow so there is still time to call in your report to the WRR voicemail line at (206) 33-WHITE.
