We do go a little long tonight, but we had a lot to talk about it.
We start with odd noises we are hearing. db has crickets, Todd has a sump pump keeping his basement water free! Surprisingly enough, Gabe didn’t have any cock fighting sounds going on.
Who is listening to the MTTS coverage? We don’t mind, just curious is all. Speaking of which, Todd got some interview time with Trudy Hardy and Gina Koutros from MINIUSA about MINIUSAs plans for MINI United plus a special surprise that you are just going to have to listen for.
We’ve been playing with the new feature at Google maps.
If we do video from MINI United, would you rather those videos be in the feed or would you rather come back to the sites to check them out? Let us know in the comments below.
We’ve been seeing cool MINIs in the wild too. I saw my first GP plus a couple of R56s in the wild, so has Gabe.
Plus, news of the week from Motoringfile.
For those of you on your way to the Dragon, safe travels!

DB,
I have a Liquid Yellow Mini One Diesel, it and myself will be at Mini United, and you are welcome to take it out on the track. Its stock, all the way save for the ipod link.
Oh and its right hand drive – let me know, you have my mail address
Aweseome Jon! That would be very cool. The track might be a little much tho. Maybe just a quick run around the block?
DB – have you tried http://www.kayak.com/ to search for airfares? It always turns up unknown deals for me.
I haven’t, but I will now!
I’m really hoping to be able to fly British Airways or Virgin Atlantic tho. They have a Preferred Coach class with better seats and power and all that. For some reason, the thought of sitting in a coach seat for the better part of 10 hours really doesn’t appeal to me. That or a flight with stops. I just want to get there.
Much like Gabe, when my wife says “Nurburgring” it comes out “Nuremburgring.” Unfortunately, this has led to our travel agent mistakenly booking reservations for us in Nuremberg, Germany. I quickly corrected her–I’m looking forward to taking a spin on the ‘ring in July (or at the very least riding in a Ring Taxi.) Is anyone else in whiteroofradioland going to be at the Nordschleife this summer?
Hey .. what? Who says Nuremburgring? Must be the mic.
If you do post video I would rather have it be downloadable from here. The quality of video on both Google & Youtube is awful.
db–
Our travel agent found reasonable business class tix on Lufthansa (Detroit to Frankfurt.) You may want to try them too.
vin.
Cool vin. Thanks for the tip!
Hey how about a hybrid mini with a solar panel roof to charge the batteries. Working on doing this to my golf cart. Can i say free power!!
