Robert does the ol’ drivers seat swap again. This time he drives an ‘89 Lancia Delta Turbo Integrale with the owner, then lets him drive his MINI for a quick comparison. If you are a fan of the old rally cars, you will love this episode!
Don’t forget you can also find Robert at either of his other 2 shows, both of which deserve a spot in your iPod! He does the Mobile Movie Minute, where he, his wife and the occasional friend review movies from his MINI!. You can also check him out at the Business Cast talking about issues faced by Entrepreneurs and small business owners.

It’s been a while since Robert’s done a soundseeing tour for us, being so busy with his other podcasts. This is one I’m sure you will like.
He is actually claiming that the Alta car he drove is faster than the GP. I’m sure Todd will have something to say about that!
Be sure to check out Robert’s other shows. He can be found talking about movies in his MINI at The Mobile Movie Minute and laying down sound business advice for entrepreneurs at the Business Cast. Both are great shows worth checking out!

Enjoy!

It’s been awhile since we’ve been able to enjoy the audio stylings of Robert Gold. He’s been busy with the Mobile Movie Minute and the new and improved Business Cast, both of which would be worthy of your subscription.
So Robert went to the Toronto Auto Show with Paul, one of his frequent co-hosts on the Mobile Movie Minute. He talks to everyone and spends quite a bit of time crawling in, on and around a 2008 MINI Cooper Clubman. Good stuff as always, I’m sure you’ll like it!

Something special today. Robert went to the Toronto Auto Show and took his video camera! Presenting, the Clubman in Canada!
So db goes to Canada and didn’t even get you one of those crappy ‘my friend went to Canada and only brought back this crappy tshirt’ t-shirts. True enough, but I did get to spend sometime with Robert doing one of his world famous soundseeing tours.
Also true I am not a cute 14 year old girl. Not a problem there either since Robert actually let me drive his MINI. Ok, so it was an empty parking lot, but still.
Thanks again to Robert for coming out and hanging with me for the night. It was great fun!
Don’t forget to check out Robert’s other podcasts! Business Cast with him and Reader Guy offering tips to business. And, the now also World Famous Mobile Movie Minute with his lovely wife. They see movies and review them in his MINI!

I’ve had this one on deck for far too long. Sorry Robert!
While Robert was getting work done on his MINI, they gave him a Chevy HHR to drive. Joining him this time is his wife and co-host from the Mobile Movie Minute, Cindy. I could write more, but really, just listen.
For those of you that received the Spark Plug episode, all apologies. Robert already chastized me for that.

Robert just hit 40K miles and there are a few issues going on with his MINI. He was in for service and shortly after it konked out on him on the streets of Toronto! Turns out his EWS was gone. That’s the part that lets the key talk to the car.
Then, he wasn’t able to open the passenger door without clicking the key 3 times.
He is starting to have problems with his clutch as well. Sounds like the same problems Todd had with his ‘03. Anyone else having these problems?
Don’t forget Robert has done a ton of these! You can find them all here. He also does another podcast that you should check out. It’s called The Mobile Movie Minute, where he goes to the movies and reviews them in his MINI! Great stuff!

Todd and I, after arriving in London, rushed out to Oxford in a Sparkling Silver R56 Cooper D. Once we arrived, we got the full tour. Of course, they let us record. Surprisingly, they also let us take pictures!
Nigel gave us our tour and he had answers to all of our questions and gave us more information than we knew what to do with! it was truly amazing to watch MINIs getting built and learn how it’s all done.
You can see all of the pictures in my flickr stream if you haven’t already.
It was a great experience and highly recommended if you ever get the chance! HUGE thank you to everyone involved in making this happen for us.

Our intrepid hero again spending time on the track with an instructor and his MINI for your benefit.
Robert says.
The MINI Challenge: MINIs vs. somewhat reasonable competitors! Twisties, ABS tests, hard braking, shoelace turns and ‘S’ turns - we did ‘em all. There was an obvious winner - and a good 2nd place finisher. Terrific sound on the track, lot’s of squealing tires. You’ll enjoy this - you’ll think you were there!
Outstanding yet again Robert! I’m sure all y’all will enjoy this.

Robert has really out done himself this time and think you all will be very pleased!
Robert says.
I spent part of Saturday at a track 200 kms from Toronto (www.shannonville.com). We met racers from Toronto and Montreal. Yesterday was MINImeet.ca reunion day.
I recorded amazing sound from the track. Before the rides, in the car (with a pro who talks through the whole track, MINI engine screaming), and after the rides with some of the hobbyist drivers, a passenger and a newbie. And all the while cars are whizzing by in the background.
This was great fun and I hope you all enjoy it!
Don’t forget, Robert is a podcasting machine! You can check him out at the Mobile Movie Minute and his Business Cast. Both are great!

It’s been a long time coming, but here is the first of 3 new soundseeing tours that Robert has sent in!
He hangs out at the MINI DNA Party in Toronto with his Wife and co-host of his other podcast. Sounds like a great time! And check out these cool new roof graphics.

I know I said I was working on breaking these out into their own feed. I am still working on it, but my day jobs keep getting in the way. Thanks for your patience!

This time, it’s Robert and Howard driving a Mellow Yellow R56 MCS.
You might remember Howard. He is the ex-Lincoln Navigator driver that Robert converted into a MINIac! He also has a Harley he likes to ride when Toronto isn’t covered in snow.
I know there are some of you out there that are dying for the RSS feed changes (each category of show will have it’s own feed). I promise I will be working on that right after AMVIV.
Don’t forget to check out Robert on the Mobile Movie Minute. He and his movie mates review movies in the MINI right after seeing them. It’s great fun!

Robert takes us through the Toronto Auto Show, including a fair amount of time with the R56.
Listen close to the background music during this show. If you can imagine the cheesiest of 70’s and 80s songs, you will probably hear them.
As usual, Robert does a great job showing us around. Made better still with his equipment upgrade. Nicely done again Robert!
Don’t forget to check Robert out at his other podcasts. The MobileMovieMinute, where he, his wife, and assorted friends review movies in his MINI and over at BusinessCast.ca where he shares short business tips.

The last of the year, but db was late in getting in posted.
Robert gets a chance to drive a Smart. The grandfather of the lads owns one. 3 cylinder diesel, incredible mileage and quite peppy. Plus, it has the cutest little horn. Awwww.
This isn’t the car he drove, but it looked way cooler. Also to note is the lack of snow on the ground. Robert says:
Note the complete lack of snow in Toronto. It’s almost balmy outside. Methinks we’re going to pay for this come February!
