There is still more to come gang! We’ve got interviews with owners, Dr. Armbrecht and others that will be coming later in the week.

Rauno

We get the chance to talk to the man, the myth, the legend, Rauno Aaltonen. Always a great guy to talk to and always full of great information. What you didn’t hear is the conversation Todd and Rauno had talking about all things Apple.

MINI United: Paddy Hopkirk Interview

50year3

We had the opportunity to chat with Paddy Hopkirk during MINI United 2009. The man is a racing legend and needs no introduction but for those who may not know, Hopkirk won the Rally Monte Carlo in 1964 in a Mini. Hopkirk’s car number was 37 which is the reason that number remains special to Mini/MINI enthusiasts to this day.

Enjoy the interview.

MINI United: We’re Here!

50year3We are in England! MINI United starts in just a few hours, but Todd ran into good friend of the show Bruce Nelson (aka professorzoom) in Chicago and he took a few minutes to talk to them.

There are already a few photos on my flickr and even more coming tomorrow!

Woofcast #296

A short run through the top stories from MotoringFile.com with Mr. Gabe Bridger in attendance before getting into what we will be doing at MINI United. Not before I realize that Todd and I totally need spy gear.

Do you suffer from the dreaded Death Rattle? Check that post at MF and definitely bring it up with your dealer! And, if you are looking for some great MINI E links, check out this post at Jasonsmini.com.

Finally, we talk a bit about what’s going on during MINI United and how we are planning our attack. First of all, we also can’t believe that they invited us along for a Pub Crawl. We also know that a Pub Crawl usually requires more than 2 pubs. Something, I can only imagine, we’ll be making at attempt to fix.

Don’t forget, if you want to follow along with our upcoming MINI United coverage, you can. All the details can be found here. Of course, if you are going to be at MINI United (or are already there), keep an eye out for Todd and myself and be sure to stop by and say hi!
