On our way to MINI United
In just a few hours Todd and I begin our journey to MINI United. Starting in London on Tuesday where Todd, his lovely wife and myself will cruise out to Oxford in a MINI Cooper D for a tour of the plant and some lunch. Then, it’s back to London for what I’m sure will be some much needed rest before spending the day Wednesday sightseeing.
Thursday we’re off to Amsterdam! We’ll be meeting up with Gabe here and making sure everything is good to go. Friday starts the event and we’ll be covering it as best we can. Keep an eye on Whiteroofradio for audio updates, the Flickrs (mine, Gabe’s and of course the MINI United Group) for pictures and the MU Blog and Motoringfile for the words and video if we do that.
With all the hub-bub, there will not a be a regularly scheduled Woofcast this week either. As I mentioned at the end of our last interview with Shawn Ticehurst, we’re just a bit on the busy side to get together. Don’t worry, we’re going to be posting so much next week your head will spin! Well, ok, maybe not spin, but we’ll be posting quite a bit. If you would like to wish us well, punch up the WRR Voicemail line at (206) 33-WHITE. We’d like to do a voicemail show while in Amsterdam, so ring us up with your questions, comments or whatever and we’ll get it played!
Until London…
MINI United Interview #3
Todd and DB interview Shawn Ticehurst one more time! Running time 12:39
Todd and I spend some time with Shawn Ticehurst one last time before the big event. Who’s excited?
As you listen to this, Gabe is furiously packing in preparation for Germany while Todd and I are busy getting everything in order before we head out Monday for our tour of the MINI Plant before meeting up with Gabe in Amsterdam on Thursday. Did I mention Gabe will be driving the ‘ring?
Before then, we expect to have a few things posted for you to listen too, watch, read and look at. Keep an eye on the Flickr Group, the MINI United blog and of course Whiteroofradio and Motoringfile.
Until next week gang!

db and Todd talk to Shawn Ticehurst from MINI United. Running time 12:33
Shawn Ticehurts took some time out with us again this morning for a more detailed update of the goings on at MINI United 2007. Only 3 more weeks gang!
He fills us in on what’s going on during the event including most of the live entertainment, the track schedule and beach activities! Plus, a few surprises. Of course he couldn’t let us know about those. They wouldn’t be much of surprise if he did.

White Roof Radio Interview: MINI United
db and Todd interview Shaun Ticehurst from MINI about MINI United 2007
Shawn Ticehurst from MINI took some time with us today to get us started with our MINI United 2007 coverage.
He fills us in on the history of the event, why it started and what we can expect for this year. We tried to get him to spill the beans on what the “special” event will be, but no dice. I would imagine that you could guess what we think it might be.
