db — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:05:17 +0000

db — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:00:25 +0000

As you heard in Woofcast 385, we talked a bit about Jezza spending time on Top Gear behind the wheel of the Fiat 500. Here it is.

We are still waiting for the Abarth to come to the States, even if the seats work correctly and it drives funny with the bonnet open.

I’m just going to keep posting this

db — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 07:52:24 +0000

Dear valued White Roof Radio listener,

It would appear that we, as a group, have not being diligent enough in keeping an eye on the vital fluids that our MINIs require to be happy and healthy. Proof above from Eric Hall, MINI Service Manager for MINI of Ontario. As a reminder, here is a handy how-to video that should help you out.

You R56 owners can find the Yellow Loopy Thing, sans loop, on the passenger side, under the bonnet. It is still yellow and the procedure is still the same.

Next time you are spending time with other MINI Cooper owners, help spread the word. Before beginning the rally or sitting down for the meeting, gather everyone in the parking lot for an oil checking party! Fun for the whole family!

We at White Roof Radio truly care about your MINI and want you and your MINI to have many miles of happy, healthy motoring. So please, take a minute or 3 this week while you are getting fuel to pop the bonnet and check your oil. If you are low, head over to your nearest MINI dealer and the nice person at the parts desk will happily sell you a quart or two. No MINI dealer nearby, then punch up Detoit Tuned and Chad will get you sorted our in short order.

As usual, thank you for your time,

xoxo

The boys at White Roof Radio

White Roof Radio, Live from AMVIV!

db — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 02:05:16 +0000

The ‘Triple Three’ will be available shortly. While you wait, why not have a look at what the boys did at AMVIV a few weekends ago. A little something we like to call White Roof Radio Live!

There are 4 videos total and all can be viewed at Whiteroof.tv (downloads to follow in a couple of days) or the WRR YouTube Channel.

AMVIV: WRR Live

db — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:47:07 +0000

Another AMVIV is on the books. From what I could tell, everyone had a great time! The highlight of the weekend was a little something we called White Roof Radio Live. I’m going to have a short version for you later in the week but wanted to share with you the intro now.

Tune-Up your MINI

db — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 04:03:57 +0000

Want to know how you can save at least $200? Possibly more? It’s so easy, even db can do it!

Change your own spark plugs!

Total cost was about $45 from Detroit Tuned (but the price is the same at all of the other MINI Vendors too, we’re just partial to Chad. Next time you are at the dealer, I dare you to find out how much this job would cost.

Then, come back later to thank us.

Woofcast 330 will be up later tonight, then it’s off to AMVIV baby! Be sure to play along with the home game if you aren’t going via Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Plus here and MotoringFile as usual. If you are going to Vegas, we will be seriously disappointed if you don’t come by the Motoringbadges table and say hello.

Seriously.

Check your oil, again.

db — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:00:37 +0000

Hanging out at MINI of Ontario yesterday and talking to the service manager who tells me that he has had 4 cars, recently, with engines that were in need of replacement due to oil starvation, including an MCS with less than 15k miles on the clock.

Haven’t we talked about that?

Next time you fuel your MINI, take the 30 seconds to check your oil. Remind everyone at the next club meeting you go to. Start a thread on a message board. Something. There is no reason for you to lose your engine because it ran out of oil!

If you forgot how to check your oil, or aren’t terribly sure about the procedure, check out the video above to set your straight. If you are low, head to your local MINI Cooper dealer’s parts counter and they will sell you all you need. No dealer nearby? Your local parts house sells Castro Synthetic which works in a pinch. Or punch up your favorite MINI Cooper after-market shop like OutMotoring.com, Detroit Tuned, Minimania.com or Moss MINI to get it as well.

This is turning into an epidemic of epidemic proportions gang for something that is easily corrected with a minute of time and a couple of quarts of $5 oil.

MINI in the Snow

db — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:00:53 +0000

This is one that just made the rounds at Facebook and I thought you guys and gals might enjoy it as well. Created by Philly MINI Club member Anthony C, this is what you do with record breaking snow, a MINI and an empty Ikea parking lot.

We find cool videos all the time and favorite them on the WRR YouTube channel. Check it out!

Check your oil!

db — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:00:33 +0000

A short PSA from your pals at White Roof Radio reminding, and showing you, how to check the oil in your MINI.

Next time you are fueling up is a great time to do it. Takes just a minute and doing this can actually save your engine!

MINI 50 Years

db — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:22:15 +0000

We mentioned this during Woofcast 298 and it was brought to my attention that I didn’t link up the videos that we talked about.

Gina Koutros from MINIUSA took time away from getting ready for the New York Auto Show to give us some more detail on MINI Takes the States 2008!

We find out the reasoning behind selection Miami, Boston, Chicago and LA for this years event. Plus a sneak peak into the reasoning behind separate weekends. For those of you that missed it, there was a poll conducted late last year as to what type of event owners would like to see, and the four regional events won hands down!

Again, those dates for those of you that haven’t put it into your calendars yet.

Miami: June 13-15
Boston: June 20-22
Chicago: July 25-27
Los Angeles: August 1-3

Everyone is invited, even if they don’t own a MINI! Of course, there will be something special going on for owners only as well. Registration should be open around the 2nd week of April. Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to let you know when as soon as we know!

Keep an eye (and ear) out here and Motoringfile for all the news and updates about MINI Takes the States 2008. No need to look anywhere else!
