I keep telling you that MINI of Ontario is pretty cool, right? Here is yet another reason why.
They have a WC-50 MINI on the showroom floor right now! To help celebrate that car and possibly hold a silent auction, they invited a bunch of MINI owners out for a round of miniature golf! Held at the Scandia Amusement Center directly across the freeway, we started off shotgun style, playing 17 holes of volcanos, castles and swinging things. The 18th hole, of course, is reserved for that special hole that wins you a free game!
It was a great way to spend a brilliant Southern California morning. Once we finished, we motored back over to MINI of Ontario where they had a full food spread setup for us on the giant covered patio/service drive. The air hockey table was fired up and could be heard over the sound of vuvuzela’s from the World Cup match playing on the big screen LCD TV that hangs outside!
Once lunch started, it was my turn to be put to work by calling out winners for raffle prizes. Car care products and MINI swag were given away as well as some cool gift cards for the winners of the golf tournament! The only thing left was the silent auction for the WC-50.
About that; there were a few bidders on that MINI, but none of them showed. You know what that means, right? Yes boys and girls, MINI of Ontario still has a WC-50 for sale! If you are looking for the most unique and rare of all MINI Coopers, this is the car for you. Hand painted using a two step process, special leather interior and all of the John Cooper Works goodies you like (including the go fast engine parts) and individually numbered make this MINI very special. More so than Todd’s beloved GP if you can believe that! If you are one that just has this car in your driveway and your local dealer doesn’t have one, give them a call at (888) 743-4041 and talk to sales manager Dan. Hurry! It won’t last long!
Thanks again to MINI of Ontario for putting on such a great event! These guys do it right!

Want a WC-50? Maybe spend the early afternoon playing a round of mini golf with some fellow MINI enthusiasts first? Followed by a carne asada BBQ? What are you doing on June 26th?
I know what I will be doing! I’m going to be at MINI of Ontario to enjoy the festivities of their special event centered around the rarest MINI of them all; the WC 50. Besides the mini golf and BBQ, MINI of Ontario will be auctioning off one of the prized JCW WC 50 MINIs. There aren’t many of them to go around, even on the west coast, so this will be a good way to try to get one and benefit the Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House at the same time!
Here’s the skinny. If you want to get in on the silent auction, give Dan the Sales Manager a call at 888-743-4041 and he will get you prequalified. Once that is done, you will get the chance to bid on the car. Here is the cool part.
A portion of the proceeds above the MSRP of the WC 50 will be going directly to the Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House. I’m not sure what portion, but knowing MINI of Ontario, it will be sizable!
If you want to get in on the MINI golf, email Katey West (kateyw@savagebmw.com) to RSVP. Do that quick since there are only 50 spots. They are filling up fast!

A big thanks to everyone that came out for this event on the 27th! I think the final count was close to 500 people there to celebrate the newest MINI dealer in Colorado, and what a great party! Live music, great food, great people and some cool looking MINIs. We are looking forward to getting back there in August for MTTS and MitM.
Special thanks to WRR listener and MINI Roadster fan extraordinare Jim Peterson for hanging out with us, lending a hand with the photos and making sure we go pizza before it was gone.
Woofcast 339 this week will be up by Monday says Todd (who is busy installing graphics in Colorado) and you will get to hear some great interviews with the owners of the new store and some great MINI owners too. Watch for it!
And, if you are in or near Northern Colorado or Southern Wyoming and looking for a place to get your MINI serviced, buy parts or swag or even a new MINI, definitely go and check out MINI of Loveland. Great building, great people and it’s very easy to find!

All y’all know Todd and I are going to be hanging out at MINI of Ontario for thier huge grand opening bash already, right? Food, fun, cool prizes and a chance to check out the newest MINI dealership in SoCal and meet the people behind the magic. You keep hearing me go on and on about this place, come on down and see for yourself just how awesome they are!
We also might have mentioned that we wanted to have a bit of a listener only party after the event. Let this serve as your official notice of said event!
Since Todd is flying all the way from KC (where, oddly enough, the weather will be better), we’re putting him in the swankest hotel in the IE; The Aloft. Everything that I’m seeing and reading says this place is all that and a bag of chips. How about you, me, Todd and as many MINI Owners as possible come down and see how they handle the crowd? We even have a small budget for this shindig for food and non-adult style beverages.
Here are the details:
The Aloft Hotel 10480 Fourth Street Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730
Let’s say 6:30/7:00PM-ish? In the hotel bar? If we outgrow this place, I’m sure we’ll be able to find someplace equally cool to hang out.
It’s going to a lot of fun and it’s also a great way to warm up for AMVIV happening in just a few short weeks!
(0) CommentsTodd, being the rockstar that he is, had a bit of a contest yesterday at MINIs in the Mountains.
Jim Peterson’s trailer is parked next to our booth space and it doubles as a signal to passing planes (read – it reflects the sun like nobody’s business.) Anyway, I announced the first person to be photographed shirtless, tanning themselves in the reflections of said teardrop mini trailer would get a free Motoring Badge. Our man C.r. Fitch IV, big WRR fan, jumped to the challenge immediately.
Good times right there!
From what I can tell, looks like everyone is having a great time! If you are one of them, give the WRR voicemail line a ring to tell us all about it!
(2) commentsMINIs in the Mountains are in full swing and so far it looks like everyone is having a great time.
Including our man Todd.
So far, Facebook has been the place to keep track of what’s going on up in Colorado this weekend.
GREAT feedback for adding an “Ask Chad” segment to WRR and we are all excited about it. Watch next week for full details!

It’s that time again gang! A MINI Vacation in Vegas is right around the corner! And, just like we did with MTTS (Part 1 and Part 2), we give you a full break down of what’s going to be happening.
Joining me this episode are the always charming Michael and Patricia Babishkin from MyCruisePlanner.net. You might remember Michael from his previous appearances under the White Roof and Patricia for her ultra snazzy review of the Samsung Blackjack for us back in January.
We cover all of the goings on during AMVIV for you. You can also get a full list of the events plus all of the information we mentioned here over at www.amviv.com.
If you are looking for Randy to do some work on your MINI, contact him at Webbmotorsports.com to see if he has any spots left. I have spoken to Waylen at Way Motor Works and he told me he had some spots still available. Contact him at www.waymotorworks.com for more information.
As before, this is short enough to fit on CD. We will have a limited number of these available during AMVIV as well on CD.

So, it begins. Ok, this is actually part II, but it makes it better to read if it’s here.
Anyone else excited? I know I am!
Michael and Patricia Babiskin from the Mail Buoy Podcast join me to go through each stop on MTTS, 1 day at a time.
I will warn you that it is long. I had originally planned to get the entire thing on 1 CD, but Michael and Patricia had so much great information and route corrections that we went much longer. So long in fact that I broke it into 2 shows so that you are still able to burn it to CD. I will be linking both shows here to make it easy to download plus posting them both so iTunes picks them up.

Clubs and People
If you did burn this to CD and are done listening to it, why not hand it off to another fellow MTTS motorer? We’d appreciate it!
And, if you haven’t already, you should go ahead and program the WRR voicemail line into your phone and provide your own coverage! The number is (206) 33-WHITE.
