MTTS Update: Chicago and LA

MTTS
We are joined again by Gina Koutros from MINIUSA to give us an update for the final 2 stops of MTTS at Chicago and LA.

Those are coming up quick! Chicago is July 25-27 and LA is August 1-3. There is still plenty of time to get get registered. Remember, registering get you a very cool bag of swag, access to all of the events, including being able to drive a JCW MINI on the AutoX course they have set up at each event! It’s a lot of fun gang and I highly recommend it!

If you have any questions about the upcoming events leave them below. Gina will be keeping an eye out for them and provide answers toward the end of next week.

Finally, don’t forget that the LA event also marks the 3rd anniversary of White Roof Radio. Both Todd and myself will be there and we will be ready to make party. Come join us!

Update. For those of you that are wondering, the hotels for LA will The Westin and The Hilton, both in Pasadena. Watch for updates to the MTTS site later today.

Woofcast #253, again

This IS Episode 253, not 220 like you might have received in the prior post. All apologies.

For those of you that got episode 220 in your reader/iTunes, here it is, corrected.

News of the week from Motoringfile.com, but since it was mostly MTTS related, we recapped the week instead.

We had a great week and you’ve seen most of it. To recap, we posted over 700 photos, over an hour of video and almost 2 hour of audio! Thanks everyone for checking it out or coming by to say during the event. It was great to meet you all!

Planning to attend Chicago or LA? Don’t forget to register. They also posted quite a few updates during Miami and Boston that you can see here.

Check back tomorrow for the JCW show. You aren’t going to want to miss it!

MTTS 2008: The road trip and Boston

MTTS
Here it is, all of the audio from MTTS 2008. Listen in as we start in Miami and work our way north to Boston. With many interviews along the way.

Some of you have asked about the MINI we drove. We had an Astro Black R56 S with body colored roof, sunroof and automatic transmission. Yes, we know we are Whiteroofradio. I think someone at MINI USA was having a little bit of fun with us.

This is the last of the audio and there is quite a bit of it. I still have more coming in the shape of video and photos, so you can watch for those later today.

And, if you are wanting to go to either of the remaining MTTS events (like I know you are), be sure to take a minute and register. You can subscribe while you are there and get all of the updates MINIUSA was posting as well.

MF Exclusive: Factory JCW (The Burble is Back!)

Reprinted from Motoringfile to get it into the feed.

Exclusive! The Factory JCW will be getting the burble exhaust sound back as was on late R53 models. This is great news and you can see and hear for yourself at your local dealer starting July 14.

If you have the chance to test drive the MINI JCW you must take the opportunity but if you are a fan of the JCW you better get your order in now. Starting July 14 MINI will begin delivering the MINI JCW to U.S. dealers for some eager early adopters. The MINI JCW will be making appearances at the remaining MTTS events in Chicago and LA in late July and early August.

MTTS Interview: Rauno Aaltonen

title=”Rauno signs by dbwilldo, on Flickr”>Rauno signs
We’ve been talking to Rauno everyday this week and getting some great stories from him! This is our actually interview with him from MTTS Miami.

Little did Rauno know, but Todd kept the recorder running a little longer than the actual interview, so we also got him talking about traction and how it applies to the MINI. He is brilliant!

Enjoy.

By the way, you have registered, right? If you are planning to attend MTTS Boston, Chicago or LA, make sure you do that now!
