Big show! First one back for 2025, and the next one, episode 700, is already in the planning stages!
Todd catches us up on his new MINIs and Gabe catches us up on news from MotoringFile. Not including db quickly checking out the Renault 5:. Continue reading “Woofcast 699: Todd Has Owned Every JCW”
Todd forgot how to drive an automatic, and we talk about pants. Seems like a pretty normal episode of White Roof Radio, except we also took a detour through 2007. Our studio host was super glitchy the night we recorded, so if we feel off, it’s not just you!
The big takeaways from this week from MotoringFile:
Paddlegate! Part 1 of the Pat Interview The Wheels Gabe wouldn’t shut up about Keep an eye on the feed this week. Gabe has given us permission to include the full interview with Pat Mckenna in the feed!
Have you gone over and grabbed the feed for Black Roof Radio? When you open your app, do you see BRR698? If not, you are using the incorrect feed. It would seem I was a spaz and shared the wrong URL a few weeks ago. The correct feed can be found over at Black Roof Radio.
Owners Lounge is still there and we almost did not get a gasoline powered JCW! Lots to get caught up, both from us and from MotoringFile! And, don’t forget, there is a new episode of Black Roof Radio, with one more following later this week! I should also be sharing the feed to black roof at the same time.
We did cover a lot this week! All of the new MINI stuff we talked about can be found at the links below!
Big show tonight and jump right into it, talking about the entire front page of MotoringFile, plus Gabe and Todd share their experiences with the latest MINI! Not only that, but a live show is in the works, so stay tuned for that! And, if you are at MOTD this weekend, make sure to stop by and check out the Detroit Tuned tent and get yourself something nice! Or at least say hi to Chad!

Big show to close out 2023! Full crew too! A quick heads up, it’s not, it’s the audio for this episode. And, we do go a little long.
Lots of news from Motoringfile.com including:
Long show. Don’t forget to go over to BlackRoofRadio.com to download not 1, but 2 additional episodes! The first one has some great information on why we hate the sunroof, and sunroofs in general. The 2nd is for you, the true BRR fan.
Enjoy the end of your year everyone! We look forward to talking about more MINI Cooper stuff in 2024!
After a 2 week delay that was 100% my fault, I am proud to deliver the latest episode of White Roof Radio. Getting started with news and MINIUSA on again off again manual transmission status is finally updated, for reals, to no longer offering a manual transmission on any of the models. Of course, details on getting one can be found at MotoringFile.
Gabe also just wrapped up his stint with the worse named MINI in the history of MINI; The Untamed Edition. The short version you hear, for the full review, including video, can also be found at MF. By the way, Untamed is worse than Untold, don’t listen to two weeks ago db, he was wrong.
Moving on, we all agree that the R53 is the G.O.A.T. Chad does school us on some gotchas that can come along with owning an old MINI. Gabe is looking really hard at getting an R53, but that could change. What do you think he should get?
Special thanks to the extra technical info provided by Chad! Are you looking for the sunroof drain fix? Detroit Tuned has your covered!
From the archives, when we talked to Randy Webb during Woofcast 9 when Todd learned what adiabatic expansion was. By following that link, you will find that episode 9 has been restored! And, as mentioned, you really can’t beat watching James May reassemble anything, . This is worth the 45 minutes.
