Live from MINI of Ontario for their huge grand opening party. We talk news from Motoringfile and R60 with Jim McDowell.
Thanks to everyone that came by to join us. For those of you that missed it, next time you are nearby definitely make sure to stop by and check out the largest MINI Cooper Dealership in California. And, be sure to tell them that White Roof Radio sent you!
I even uploaded a couple of videos to the WRR YouTube Channel that you can go over and check out. And, no. We did not write the Mayor of Ontario’s jokes. Really!

AMVIV is shaping up to be a huge event again this year. Make sure to get over and get registered as soon as possible.

It capitalized Motoringfile.com last week. It was the target of hate and anger for the better part of 2 years. It is, the MINI Cooper Countryman!
We couldn’t get Gabe on this week to actually give us his thoughts about this MINI, but Todd, Chad and I do our best to give you ours. I think the consensus is that we all like this car and would love to have one in our driveway, but with a few caveats that you will have to listen for in the show.
Did you hear? AMVIV is just around the corner and registration is open! Go get yourself on the list for what is shaping up to be the best AMVIV yet. We will be talking to WRR Listener Andrew ‘Agro’ Ross and Mr. Finn soon with all the details about this event that you are not going to want to miss, quite possibly because of something very cool that we might or might not be planning, maybe.
Finally, if you are in Southern California, mark February 27th down on your calendar to head over to MINI of Ontario for a blood drive between 10a – 3p. BBQ lunch for all that donate, live music, Wii games, air hockey and lots of cool MINI Stuff! And don’t forget, if you are looking for a free oil change for your MINI, they have your covered!

Todd and Gabe had a chance to catch-up with Dr. Armbrecht (VP of the MINI brand worldwide) yesterday a few hours before the introduction of the MINI Beachcomber. Dr. Armbrecht talked about the Beachcomber, the R60 and of course the coming Roadster and Speedster. We even got a smile with the mention of MINI in the WRC.

There wasn’t time to put together a fresh one for you guys, but this is the one from 2007. I still think it’s pretty good and hope you enjoy it as your Motor around for the rest of the holiday season.
All of us would like to thank all y’all for being such awesome fans and sticking with us for another year! We had the chance to meet a good number of you at events around the globe this year, and we hope that 2010 gives us the chance to meet even more of you and reconnect at even more events, including AMVIV and a few others.
From myself, Todd, Chad, Gabe, and Michael Merry Christmas gang!

It’s the White Roof Radio Christmas show. News from Motoringfile.com and listener emails with almost a full crew.
As I mentioned during the show, there is a good chance that this will be the last WRR of ‘09 with the holidays upon us. That said, I should have a Holiday Music Sampler for you to download next week. Keep an eye out for that.
