Doran wins at X-Games in 3 Wheeled Countryman

Liam Doran, earlier today at the Munich X-Games in a Pro Drive prepped MINI Cooper Countryman, winning race 1. Most incredibly, he did so with 1 rear flat tire! Race starts at 3:13 and since it’s only 8 laps, does not take long to finish.

In the , Doran finished second behind Heikkinen. Some great racing to watch and nice to actually see a MINI at this event.

Another rousing episode of White Roof Radio mostly revolving around the photo above. Good stuff, you should like it! If you are looking for Ask Chad, we ran late this so we did it as a stand-alone episode that you can download when you like. And, for the record, Nathaniel likes the Countryman. here’s proof.

Your Summer Reminder

I originally shared this post on my personal blog and was reminding folks during MTTS 2012 to do this. I thought it would be a good idea to share this reminder with you guys too!


Check your oil!

I’m a big fan of taking care of my cars. They cost a lot of money to purchase and a lot to repair. As a bonus, I’m a frugal guy, which means I like to do what I can, when I can. Things like, oh, I don’t know, checking my oil.

Oh, you say you don’t have a 2002-2006 MINI Cooper? You have an R55/56/60? Continue reading “Your Summer Reminder”

Todd at SEMA, Gabe on the show and some great ask chad questions. Ask Chad will be back for Woofcast 358. We went a little long this week talking about the Countryman (again) and bashing GM (again) and a few other things (again).

While at SEMA, Todd get the chance to interview a couple of companies doing cool things for MINIs. One of them is Delucci Motor. Website isn’t ready yet, but there is a phone number and email address if you want to contact them further.

And, if you are in SoCal, don’t forget the Bootgate Party tomorrow afternoon!

It capitalized Motoringfile.com last week. It was the target of hate and anger for the better part of 2 years. It is, the MINI Cooper Countryman!

We couldn’t get Gabe on this week to actually give us his thoughts about this MINI, but Todd, Chad and I do our best to give you ours. I think the consensus is that we all like this car and would love to have one in our driveway, but with a few caveats that you will have to listen for in the show.

Did you hear? AMVIV is just around the corner and registration is open! Go get yourself on the list for what is shaping up to be the best AMVIV yet. We will be talking to WRR Listener Andrew ‘Agro’ Ross and Mr. Finn soon with all the details about this event that you are not going to want to miss, quite possibly because of something very cool that we might or might not be planning, maybe.

Finally, if you are in Southern California, mark February 27th down on your calendar to head over to MINI of Ontario for a blood drive between 10a – 3p. BBQ lunch for all that donate, live music, Wii games, air hockey and lots of cool MINI Stuff! And don’t forget, if you are looking for a free oil change for your MINI, they have your covered!
