Wow, what a great weekend! HUGE congrats to The Sin City MINI Club and the AMVIV commitee for putting on yet another fantastic event!
We’ve been working hard to get everything up and posted for you! All of the video (so far) is up at WhiteRoof.tv. Here is a sample.
You can check out the photos here. Be sure to do a search at Flickr for AMVIV as there are a TON of great photos from some of the best MINI photographers in the country!
We still have audio and a little more video that you aren’t going to want to miss. We did a live show from AMVIV that some of you caught online plus camera were rolling for the banquet! All of that will be coming up later in the week.

MINI United is coming up in less than 60 days, which is a perfect time for us to get together with Gina Kutros, Shows and Events Manager from MINIUSA. She answers questions about extra costs involved and gives us the low down on what MINIUSA has planned for those going to MINI United from the US.
If you are in the US and planning on going, be sure to register through MINIUSA here. You can get all of the information from the invitation and be sure to keep an eye on miniunited.com for updates. You can set up a free account there as well so you can connect with others that are going.
Not able to make it? Not to worry! White Roof Radio will be, bringing you interviews, photos and video as it happens from Silverstone!

A MINI Vacation in Vegas is 1 week from today friends! Are you ready? If you have already registered, great job! If not, there is still time, but not much. Registration will close tomorrow at noon! After that, banquet tickets will no longer be available and no guarantee of a shirt or a hat and you won’t be able to get one of the snazzy, pre-printed name badges.
The tentative schedule has gone up if you are wondering what it is you want to do. Of course Todd and I will be there, recording Woofcast 291 LIVE from the upper deck of the Palace Station before taking off to the Show and Shine. Expect things to get started right around noon. For those of you not able to make it, keep an eye on the sites for the live feed.
We hinted at this during Woof 290, but there will not be a regular show tonight. With today being the start of Todd’s birthday extravaganza and Michael or Gabe not being available, it would only be me, and that would be fairly boring. I will put up a Best of WRR in the feed on Monday for you to tide you over.
I’m going to posting quite a bit to Twitter, including the occasional photo from my phone. You can also follow along on Facebook. There will be photos and video too! Keep an eye out for those.
Don’t forget the new White Roof Radio page at Facebook either!. It’s set up so that you can share photos and videos with other WRR Fans, plus I’ll be putting a few things there as well.
1 week. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I can’t wait!

Apologies for posting late. A live show tonight! Thanks to everyone that made it, apologies to those of you that missed it. And yes, for the record, Todd was wearing pants.
AMVIV is just about a week away! Listen in for Todd’s tip for getting a room in Vegas if you missed out on the great rate Palace Station was offering. There is still time to register for the event if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t register, you should still think about going, but remember, if you don’t register, you won’t be able to attend the banquet. Tickets for that are presale only.
If you do decided to go, be sure to be around the upper deck of Palace Station on Saturday because we will be doing an honest to goodness live show. Woofcast #291 or #292, depending on what happens this week.
Of course, we cover news of the week from Motoringfile.com. If you were wondering what a Space Box is, here you go. Of course, if you are looking for something more practical, check out the image above, sent in by our good friend Jim Peterson, The “Kernel” of C.O.R.N.
More on AMVIV to follow early next week. Stay tuned!
If you missed it, I’ve set up a few White Roof Radio page at Facebook, with links to other cool places on Facebook, including the AMVIV group. Come join us!

You’ve heard this excuse a few times over the last few weeks, right? It’s our number 1 excuse for doing a live show. This time, it caused us to not do any show. Normally we know in advance when we aren’t going to get a show out for you, but this time it was unavoidable.
But, not to worry! While not terribly MINI related, I did get together with Michael and Patricia to do a gadget review of not 1 but 2 eBook readers! The Kindle 2 and the Sony PRS 505 head to head. That will be going up later today or early tomorrow.
(0) CommentsHey gang! If you are one of the people that are having a hard time downloading Event Cast #4 (you have a pdf in iTunes instead of the show), all apologies.
To fix that, you will have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to WRR within iTunes. Or, download it directly from the show notes.
Sorry for the trouble.

Quite a bit of chatter about my new camera, affair-proofing a MINI, Molly Wood, the weather in Kansas City, Todd sells 2 MINIs and Fireball Tim is selling his.
Then, on to news of the week from Motoringfile, including more making fun of the Clubman Spoiler.
Before we get into the content portion of the show, Robert in Toronto checks in. You can search for his AMVIV videos over at YouTube or check him out at his other podcast at MobileMovie.ca. It’s great fun!
Gabe checks in via satellite phone from an undisclosed location and he talks a little about the 135i he drove last week then Todd and Gabe spend pretty much the rest of the show waxing poetic about all things JCW and then on to talking about cars built in America. No, really.
Don’t forget, AMVIV is coming up at the end of the month and we have some cool stuff planned for those of you that aren’t going to make it. I’ve WhiteRoof.tv updated and warmed up and will be partnering with WRR listener and show producer Sherwin Smith from BehindTheVroom for any video we do. So, get over there and get subscribed!
Finally, if you are going to AMVIV and want Todd to install graphics on your MINI, you should contact him very soon.

Tonight’s post brought to you by midwestern cable network hackers keeping Todd from uploading the show. The authorities have been contacted and proper service shall resume shortly, which I’m told should be sometime early Tuesday morning.
Our thoughts are with Todd and his family during this trying time. A whole day without internet. The horror!
Check back in the morning.
