Final show for 2008. We manage a full crew and everything. And, of course, we end up with a crappy connection. So, apologies around for that extra hiss in this shows recording.
We covered news of the week from Motoringfile.com as usual. It was nice to have Gabe with us tonight and he added quite a bit, as he usually does.
Then a bit of recap of the year that was WRR/MF. We did some really cool stuff this year! If you missed any of it, you can go back and check the MTTS and AMVIV. It doesn’t seem like much, but remember MTTS did stretch over a combined time span of almost 2 weeks!
We hope everyone has a great holiday. We’ll be back next year with more cool stuff and hopefully better sound. One of the things coming back next year will be the event cast, so make sure to pass the word along to your clubs and listen for details after the first of the year.

Micheal Todd and myself get together to talk about MINIs and Todd’s basement remodel. Oh yea, plus news from Motoringfile.
We also discuss when show 300 will be landing and we think it’s going to be happening at AMVIV in ‘09. We also revisited the octane debate one last time.
Want to play around with the voicemail line? Please call 206-202-3252. Say something funny, including the words “World Famous White Roof Radio” and we’ll include it in the show. Or ask a question. Or tell a story. Anything you like!

Thanks to everyone for coming by and playing along at home last Thursday. It was a lot of fun!
That episode will be going up sometime Monday. Watch for it!
As most of you already know, we record the show on Thursday nights. Except one particular Thursday in November. You here in the States know it as Thanksgiving and we hope everyone had a great one!
We will be back this week however. Comments will help me grease the skids a bit for a live show this coming Thursday, December 4th. Say 7:00p PST?
By comments I mean comments below, via this voicemail line at 206-202-3252 or by using the contact form.
Todd, Chad from DetroitTuned and myself get together tonight to talk about the latest news from Motoringfile.com, the state of the auto industry and spark plugs. Again. And, with the new show format, you get a long show. Feedback? You know what to do.
Be sure to keep an eye on detroittuned.com for cool stuff coming, like online ordering. And, if you are in the neighborhood cruise by and check out the new shop!
Do you use Twitter? I’m @dbwilldo, Todd is @toddsmods, Gabe is @gbridger and Michael is @radiationman. 206-202-3252 is the new voicemail line that you can use to ring us up too.

Wow! A full crew? Really? That is correct ladies and gents, Gabe, Todd, Michael and myself talking about MINI stuff for you on a Monday night, like we like to do.
We start with news from MF, including spending a fair amount of time on Gabe’s review of the JCW car and my MINI turning 200K miles. Plus some tips as well as a few things you might want to watch out for as your MINI gets up in miles.
Before I go further, none of us doing anything other than recycle any of the fluids that come out of our cars. We always dispose of them properly. We were just goofin’.
Do you use Twitter? If you do, you should friend up Todd, Gabe, Michael and myself.
Theme song for today’s show is Understood by your Dad by Brad Sucks. Good stuff.
Don’t forget the new voicemail line either, at 206-202-3252. Call in, say something funny (be sure to also say The World Famous White Roof Radio too!) and we might use it in the show just like you will here in this episode. Oh yea, you can also use it for feedback or to ask a question.

First time back in 5 weeks and it’s a long show for you. Also to note, I wasn’t able to attend due to being busy turning 200K miles in my MINI. I will be back this week and there is a great chance we will also be live!
Sit back and enjoy Todd, Gabe and Michael talking about MINIs, starting with getting caught up with news from Motoringfile Thanks to everyone that joined live! Watch out this week because we will be doing that again!
Do you Twitter? I’m @dbwilldo, Todd is @toddsmods, Gabe is @gbridger and Michael is @radiationman.

Just a quick reminder that we will be recording Woofcast 275 live tonight. Check back at 7:15PM PST for all the fun and excitement! There is a rumor that Gabe might even be able to join Todd, Michael and myself for some great MINI talk!
Watch this post for updates and the show later today.
You read that correctly boys and girls! White Roof Radio, the world famous MINI Cooper podcast will be making it’s return to the internet!
After taking a 5 week hiatus, we will be back on it starting with Woofcast 275. We will be broadcasting live on Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 7:00PM PST. Keep an eye on Motoringfile.com and Whiteroofradio.com for details the day of the event.
We’ve been at this for over 3 years now and have over 400 shows under our belt that have been recorded all over the world! Our break has given us the chance to rest, make some changes and get excited about doing the show again.
See you on Thursday!
This was the Sunday show from March 18th, 2007. Worth a listen for Gabe’s intro alone. Enjoy! Why the old episodes? We are taking a break.
We should be back next week with all brand new episodes of White Roof Radio! Stay tuned!
To start with, db just didn’t want to do the intro tonight. You benefit. Trust me.
Did you see this? Poor guy.
db is soooo close to 150K miles it’s not even funny.
Gabe’s NCAA picks, if you like that kind of thing.
If you get the chance, check out MINI2.co.za.
Longest MINI Convoy attempt if you like that kind of thing. Oh yea, you kinda have to be in the UK for it too. Todd thinks he’s already beat that number, but it wasn’t legit with the Guinness people.
Plus a little bit of news for the week.

The break has been nice to say the least. Again, thank you to everyone for your patience while we take this time off! For me, break time is over and it’s time to let you in on what’s happening.
- Our first show back will be Woofcast 275 to be recorded on November 6th LIVE. Mark your calendars now! I will post specifics that week or the week before.
- New voicemail line is up and running. I will be contacting some of you about a special project involving that later today.
- I have picked out about a half dozen new theme song possibilities. I will be posting those for you next week after we narrow down the list.
- We are working on ways to get you guys in on the action more often that not. Including more live shows!
We are starting back a week later than I originally told you because we really want to get the elections behind us first. You can thank me for that later.
So just a little bit longer until we’re back. Like I already mentioned, thank you for your patience!
We talk about this one all the time. It’s a classic. For those of you that might have missed it the first time around, here it is in all it’s glory. Why the old episodes? We are taking a break.
Wow! Y’all get a whole lotta show this week…
And, there is a pre-req for this show if you are so inclined. If you missed Woofcast #3, now would be a good time to review that as well as the track day prep page. Also, to get more info about the upcoming Race Series, listen to Woof18 where Phil Wicks explains a good part of it.
-Watching gas gauges move -Hummers not selling? -NASA, at least this one, does not launch rockets into space. (Read on…)
One 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!
- Randy schools us on adiabatic expansion
- New exhaust system should be ver very cool!
- Randy talks alot
- Pulley Party © Webb Motorsports
- Popping exhaust sounds cute
- Randy tells jokes as bad as Gabes
- Pulley Parties will still happen with the Turbo after serious testing
- Aluminum coolant tanks don’t leak
- New Webb Motorsports Exhaust sounds very very cool!
Todd did the hard part
During 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.
