Short 1 yet again this week. This time, Todd couldn’t make it. db and Gabe carry on without him.

-We are not all in SoCal. Only db is. -db is NOT a geometry wizard.
-Todd was outvoted. -JCW Tires for Gabe? -Tires are black, round and they do wear out. -db lied? -Too much brake dust? Want better stopping power? Change your brakes. -To compress the rear rotors, you can get a tool or use one of many different ways. Check out this NAM thread or Harbor Frieght Tools.
-Tear off’s on wheels? Gabe, get on it!
-OEM Pads made of chalk? -db doesn’t like a big brake kit. -But big brakes do look hot. -Big news for the week and some rumor squashing -Don’t wd-40 or armor all your brakes. Really, we were joking. -This is the first non-Todd cast. What a trooper! -db kinda knows what he’s doin’. -Remember when installing the JCW intake, it’s 113 and white with red stripe. -ECU is skippable, but really, you should think twice about it.

We should all be back next week, barring anymore alien abductions or black 7 series pulling up. Can’t control those things.

Survey? You know what to do. The WRR Frappr. Get a decal.

We’re back in full force this week. Hour long and on fire!

Hope everyone had a safe new years and a great holiday!

We took the week off, but Todd still threw together a shorty for you this week -Todd scares Randy Webb -Gabe made a funny -Ahhh yes, the moose test. Good times! -Gabe schools us on the awesome virtues of the MINI -db drank yuppy wine -Gabe is a music machine -Todd and the funny noises -A big dinosaur or a big ape, who can tell?

Again, thanks to Aaron at Outmotoring.com for sponsoring us and to Mark at NorthAmericanMotoring.com for building us into the message board to make it easier for you to OD get your MINI fix!

And of course, thanks to all of you, the WhiteRoofRadio.com listener. It’s been said that we’d do this without the listeners. Yea, that’s a lie. Sure it’s a kick in the pants, but you are the reason we keep doing it. Thanks to those of you that have taken the survey, joined the WRR Frappr and bought a decal to help support us! We really appreciate it!

We’ve got some cool stuff planned for the new year too! Club spotlights and local events. Watch this space for more details!

Happy New Year Everyone!
