Posted in Episodes,Interviews — by db on 03/09/10

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!
