Todd did the hard part
Enjoying the show. Nice to know that there is a good club in StL. We always entertain the thought of moving back there one day. And I wouldnt want to go somewhere without a good MINI commmunity.

I’ll have to send you a bottle or two from James Arthur Vineyard, about thirty minutes from here in Lincoln. Good wine from lush sunny Nebraska.
Talking of people getting into the MINI, when I was picking up my new one this weekend, a couple were trading in their Infinity SUV for a Cooper. My MA said it was a $50k trade-in! Looked like they were just people with money to burn but thats still quite a difference in vehicle.
I had lots of problems with my ’02 window motor. It wouldn’t work at all in the summertime at home (avg temp 115F) but if I came over to San Diego it would work. I did get a new motor one time, though.
Given the uproarious string of discussion that erupted on MotoringFile over the JCW Sound Kit, your very diplomatic lack of elaborated discussion over the kit was entertaining. Very “don’t go there” but the under-currents of your collective deeper opinions were palpable below the surface. I got a kick out of that.
Have you guys thought about having a call-in section of the podcast? It’d also be neat to try to get Click and Clack to migrate over from NPR for an episode if you could get them. Get their MINI perspectives.
The thought about doing a call-in has crossed our mind. We are still working out the technical details.
Next best thing is you can IM us while we are recording using AIM or iChat to the AOL nick WhiteRoofRadio.
Thanks for the comments!
A great interior mod that I purchased before I even got my car was the chrome plugs for the stupid screw holes in the door panels. It’s amazing how much it changes the look of the inside.

Great job this time guys.
You weren’t specific on the glovebox organizers, I would highly recommend the GoMiniGo tidy over the one available at dealers and other stores. It’s better designed and cheaper, too. See http://www.gominigo.com/8401.html
