1 commentLive 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!

(0) CommentsOne of our very first guest under The White Roof was Randy Webb. He gave us some great information during this show that I think you r53 owners will really appreciate. Why the old episodes? We are taking a break.
Since most of you have already heard this by now…
We burned through a few buckets of cuss words making this one happen gang. We think you will be pleased with the results!
Huge thanks for our special guest Randy Webb for coming on with us tonight!

(0) CommentsDuring MINI United last summer, we got the change to interview some great people, including Gert Hildebrand, Lead Designer for MINI. Why the old episodes? We are taking a break.
Another great person that we got to speak with was Gert Hildebrand. He is the man in charge of making the MINI look as cool as it does!
There is still more audio coming gang! Todd will be working furiously during his travels home so we can get those posted right away! Be sure to check out the photos if you haven’t already over at the MINI United Flickr Group.
