Todd and I spent the weekend in Pennslyvania, helping to celebrate the grand opening of the newest MINI dealer in the US, MINI of Allentown. While we were there, we took a bunch of photos that you can see above, and we interviewed more than a few people, including Bill Stoeckel, General Manager, and our good friend Jim McDowell. We even have video to follow!
If you are in that area, you should stop by to check them out for services, parts, MINI accessories or even a new MINI. Don’t forget the rule if you do. Make sure to tell them White Roof Radio sent you! Especially if you might be looking for a WC-50. They have one of the last 20 or so for sale in the States if you are still looking for one.
Finally, huge thanks to Joe and the rest of the Philly MINI club for hosting us, keeping us out of trouble and overall showing us a great time. We think they run one of the better MINI clubs and always show everyone a great time! And also a HUGE thanks to the Marzo’s from Lions Collision Center for giving Todd a place to install graphics.

A quick wrap-up of MTTS, some audio from the east coast rally, and I hit a cat. We aren’t quite done with MTTS either. I’ve got my write-up going up in multiple parts this week, plus there is still some video coming to the WRR YouTube Channel.
Don’t forget, Todd and I will be at MINI of Allentown this coming Saturday from 9AM until we’re done and think it would be keen to see as many of you as possible!

A quick note to the affliates. This is not Woofcast 348 for August 1st. That was last year. Let it go.
And, HOLY CRAP! 5 years of White Roof Radio? Are you kidding? We are just as amazed as you, trust me. And, along with the intro flub, Woofcast 1 went up on the 4th of August, not the 2nd.
As a nice gift to us, we will be on the air on radio very very soon. You are going to have to wait to get more details about that after MTTS, but don’t worry, you’ll find out about it. Or, catch any of us at MTTS and we might fill you in.
As mentioned, this will be the last episode before MTTS. Check back tomorrow for a complete update for what WRR will be bringing you next week.
Otherwise, news like we like to do from Motoringfile. Plus a complete recap of what WRR has done since we started this little dog and pony show 5 years ago. Thanks for sticking with us, thanks for sharing us with your friends and thanks for being the best fans ever invented! You guys and gals seriously rule!

A little bit of news from Motoringfile.com like we like to do and a fresh batch of Ask Chad. Some how we also ended up talking about NASCAR for a minute or two. Plus, like you will hear, a brand new sponsor under the White Roof.
Speaking of which, MINI of Allentown is open now and will be having their grand opening celebration on August 28th. The invited Todd and I for the party and we hope to see as many of you as we possibly can! Not only that, but Todd is going to be striping MINIs on the 29th (don’t ask, he filled all the slots) and Prime MINIster Joe twisted my arm enough to stay an extra day!
Before all of that is MTTS. Not sure about the rest of you, but we here at White Roof Radio are very excited! I’ll be posting more details about our upcoming coverage of the event soon, so stay tuned!

Part 2 from Woofcast 344. We were live for this one, and this is the Ask Chad portion of the show.
Woofcast 346 is in the can and will be posted tomorrow night as usual. So, you folks get bonus goodness from WRR this week.
A quick note to our affliates; White Roof Radio will be running on a different schedule starting August 9th and continuing through until August 15th. Full details to follow this week.

This week on an all new White Roof Radio, db wears both hats, Chad answers some questions and Michael drives a VW! Like we mention, Todd and Gabe weren’t available, so we soldiered on without them. Also helps to explain why my sound level is quite right. Not that big of a deal since all y’all tune in for the other guys instead.
Looking for part 2 of Woofcast 344? Check back Wednesday. No, really. Todd just got back from Vegas and needs a few days in an ice house to correct his body temperature.
Great Ask Chad questions this week too! If you have a question you would like our good man Chad to answer, shoot it over via email to askchad@whiteroofradio.com and we’ll get it answered.
Quick note to our affliates; White Roof Radio will be running on a modified schedule during MTTS. If you aren’t going, stay tuned in because we are planning some great coverage for you daily. Again, this will be happening during MTTS which is, oddly enough, starting a week after White Roof Radio turns 5! More on that later.

With less than a month to go, our friend Gina Koutros from MINIUSA took some time from her hectic schedule to give us some updates about MINI Takes the States, which is shaping up to be the largest MTTS to date!
If you haven’t decided if you are going yet, don’t forget there will be a Countryman (R60) at each of the kick-off cities driving to Denver. If you wanted to see this MINI in person, now is the time to do it!
Once in Denver, besides all of the regular festival fun and games, there will be the MTTS Music Stage featuring local talent during the day, headlined by Blues Traveller! For those of you that caught them in ’08 during the Chicago leg of MTTS you remember what a great show they put on.
Finally, do not forget that MINIs in the Mountains has some cool stuff planned for us as well! And to make sure that you get all of the cool stuff available, you do want to register! It’s for a great cause and ensures that your goodie bag is waiting for you when you arrive. If you are planning on attending both events, make sure to get over to the MitM website and get registered.
If you aren’t able to attend any of the legs or the festivals in Denver and Winterpark, don’t sweat. White Roof Radio has your covered! We will be updating Twitter as we go, plus posting to the White Roof Radio Facebook page. If you want to make sure you are getting the good information, then you should also follow @MTTS2010 on Twitter too!

We missed a week and came back with a live show! If you missed it, you really should follow any of us on Twitter or like the WRR Facebook Fan page. If you would rather find out in other ways, sound off in the comments below and I will see about hookin’ you guys and gals up!
Ok, once the cake and drink segment of the show was out of the way, we got into news from Motoringfile.com like we like today. Big news from last week was the ’11 refresh and it capitalized the conversation.
We went long this week. You know we must have since the, part 1, is almost an hour long. Part 2 will be available later in the week (like Wednesday or Thursday).
Are you a Flickr user? The Official MTTS 2010 Group has been started. Go on a join up and get it out of the way!

With the holiday and all, we decided to take the week off. We are proud to present to you, the fine White Roof Radio audience, a little something from the archives in the shape of Woofcast 255. Regular service shall resume next week.
A bit of random chat before we get started, talking about tires and brakes. We are looking for those among us that have experienced tire pressure loss in run flats after sitting for a week or more. Todd’s MINI had 4 flat tires after MTTS and it just sat. Since he boosted them, he hasn’t experienced any loss at all.
Watch for us to get guys from Continental on the show soon. We had some great discussions with them at MTTS.
But not this week. For this week, it’s news of the week from Motoringfile.com.
Don’t forget to register for MTTS if you are going. At the very least, you check out the updates that were posted during the first 2.
If you are looking for the brake tool at Harbor Freight, you can find it here. I don’t know if it works, but for $4.00, it might be worth trying. They also have an air-powered unit that you can find here, if that’s how you roll.
Check back tomorrow when we talk about the cool fuel-saving features that we don’t get in the US.
