 2015 JCW Mini Hardtop Americas Launch Event. |
3 August 2015 Woofcast #561: The $50 Liquid Cake On this, the **10th ANNIVERSARY** of White Roof Radio, we are joined by our good friend AJ on her way to the Mack. Then, we talk about the Top Gear boys heading to Amazon Prime, MINI on the Mack, recalls and Alex recaps his trip to Lime Rock and his time in the new F56 JCW. Plus, don’t forget to check out [iamnotwearingpants.com](http://www.iamnotwearingpants.com) to check if you have any outstanding recalls on your car. Oh yea, and bunny girl. And, yes, 10 years ago TODAY we released the very first episode of White Roof Radio. Over 700 unique shows, interviews with the who’s who in the MINI Community, events and owners that we have met along the way. No way, NO WAY, we could have done this without you guys. Seriously. Also, no way, NO WAY, I could have done this without Gabe, Nathaniel, Chad, Micheal and Alex. I’m working on fixing the archives and the feed to make it easier to find the older shows that these guys helped to make awesome. And, for sure, no way White Roof Radio would be what it is today without our man Todd. Every week he tolerates my crap and puts together **the highest rated and longest running independent Podcast on the planet**! No way I would still be doing this if it wasn’t for him. Thanks for listening. Thanks for subscribing. Thanks for supporting us. And, most of all, thank you for listening to us talk about MINI Cooper Stuff (like we like to do) every week. Stick around. We have some amazing things on deck. Sure, it’s been 10 years but we are just getting started!

21 September 2015 Woofcast #566: Setting Off Car Alarms Starting off picking on Alex because he won’t stop using Waze and I tell my Waze story. We wish it worked, but Todd started his installation 4 months ago and it’s still not done. Once we finish with that nonsense, Todd tells us about his experience looking at Volvo’s (you’re welcome!). Then, it’s news from [MotoringFile](http://www.motoringfile.com), mostly about the Clubman as you can expect. Keep an eye out at your dealer to possibly catch a glimpse before the end of October. We also talk about [VW cheating emmissions](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/business/volkswagen-is-ordered-to-recall-nearly-500000-vehicles-over-emissions-software.html?_r=0). This can only end badly for them, as the stock market today is already starting to show. We finally have time to share the sounds clips Todd recorded in the F56 MINI Cooper S with JCW exhaust.

28 September 2015 Woofcast #567: Boom, You’re an American We heard you like the new Clubman, so we put some Clubman in your Clubman. #Clubman. You might have guessed that we spent a fair amount of time talking about the Clubman (!), mostly because the configurator went live. We all took the time to do a quick build out, even with all of the quirks in the configurator. Have you built yours? If so, share it over on the [White Roof Radio Facebook page](http://www.facebook.com/whiteroofradio) or below in the comments. Let’s see what you built! Also, Alex is going to Nascar, the Pope was in a Fiat and a little more VW bashing. And some updates about my MINI and a few other things. All good stuff gang, you aren’t going to want to miss it! Speaking of missing it, if you have noticed the show not showing up in iTunes, there was a glitch in the matrix making things not show up correctly. I think it’s been fixed, but if you are having any issues, please let us know. Finally, [Craven Speed](http://www.cravenspeed.com). Go over there and check them out. Our favorites are the [shifter stuff](http://www.cravenspeed.com/shifter-parts/), [Squeezy thing](http://www.cravenspeed.com/smart-phone-mounts/) stuff and [performance stuff](http://www.cravenspeed.com/performance/) (including some great parts for you F56 owners).

You should check out the photos on the [WRR Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/whiteroofradio) page. Looks like another great time was had by all.
