13 January 2017 Woofcast #613: A Big Bag of 6 Podcasters Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, White Roof Radio has kicked off a new year of Podcasting, talking about MINI Coopers like we like to do. Full panel tonight including myself, Todd, Chad, Alex, Gabe and Brian Dallas. Hitting the high points from Motoringfile.com and talking about the new Countryman, which is live in the configurator and showing up at some dealers this week. As an added bonus, we get to hear what the next MotoringFile Company Car is going to be. As you know, Gabe has been completely smitten by the new Clubman and we think you guys will be as excited as we are about what he will be driving next! Finally a note to the affliates, we do go long. New for 2017, we will be sharing black roof radio whenever possible. Since it will be very raw and unedited (and probably not safe for work), we will be limiting it’s release only to those that have signed up to support us through Patreon. It doesn’t take much to clear this pay wall gang, even a quarter a show gets you in! This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Brian drove the Countryman, Chad has new DT designs(click through to vote for you favorite!), Todd is holding down the rebel base in Kansas and Alex was busy explaining how he gets all the female fan mail. All that, and of course, more, in this week’s episode! Do you want to get in on the Black Roof Radio?

Speaking of Patron’s, our man Rick R shared this sweet photo of his 2013 Coupe, Mongo, there. Do you want us to feature your MINI? That’s also easy!

24 February 2017 Woofcast #616: The Forty Seven Thousand Dollar MINI Big show for you guys this week. A quick note to the affliates, we do go long. Gabe joins in tonight with myself, Todd and Alex. We cover a ton of stuff including Todd’s week with a JCW Convertible, a pretty big shake up at MINIUSA, Gabe’s continued love affair with the Clubman, Alex’s quick thoughts about the new Ferrari and me still thinking the R56 is pretty fall aparty.

24 March 2017 Woofcast #618: Alligator Seawolf In this episode, named after our man Alex based on his Hammer & Coop name. We spend some time talking about that, of course, along with some other examples of the great, and so not great, work of BSSP. Of course this came up because the marketing shake-up at MINIUSA continues. Gabe joins us for some real in-depth information that you are sure to enjoy. We did run a bit long this week. Too long to add the interview with Luis Perocarpi, owner of Lap Motorsports. Watch for that early next week to show up in your feed. It was really fun to meet him and talk to him about the races at Daytona, Sebring and the upcoming race at Circuit of the Americas. Plus some cool rally stuff that he is doing this week in a lifted R60 Countryman! I lied about this week’s show image. I was going to be a cool shot of a classic Mini with a VTEC engine uploaded to our Patreon Community by Mr. Roberts.  Instead, it’s the F60 with bicycles on the roof submitted by our man Brian Dallas. He uploaded this to our facebook page and now it’s the album art for this week’s show. Want us to feature a photo of your MINI? All you have to do is upload it to our Facebook page or do an ‘@’ reply to @whiteroofradio on Twitter or Instagram. You can also upload it to the Patreon page. It’s not a competition gang, I will pick the one I like best and boom! It’s time to get restocked on your car cleaning supplies, and our friend Axle Grease Coyote has a full line of car care products available at Outmotoring.com. Perfect for restocking your supplies!

5 May 2017 Woofcast #621: Gert Hildebrand Was Right Gabe is offended, still loves the Clubman and we call him on it and then give him the time to explain himself. I am pretty sure he did a good job of it. Alex had the chance to drive Todd’s race car and roadster, plus a bunch of other cars, and I ask the boys to buy a MINI with only $8kUS to spend, which brought us our first mention of the Clubvan for 2017. Sure, we go long this week, but it’s a really great show. Oh yea, read about the $50K mini van here. AMVIV updates this week too. If you are interested, and you should be, Mike Marzo will be coding MINIs at the event. Get over to the vendor page to send him an email to ask questions about what he can do and what it will cost. Trust us, he can do some cool stuff. Also, Todd still has spots for graphic installs, hit him up to book your time and discuss options. If you are going, you will also be seeing me, db, emcee the pool party! It’s going to be a great time and we hope to see you all there! Don’t forget the fine, OG sponsors, here under the White Roof; Cravenspeed.com and Outmotoring.com(including http://www.mnidomore.com for all your trailer pulling needs). Also, our new friends over at HIDextra have extended the discount code until September! Use mini15 at checkout to save 15%.

29 May 2017 Woofcast #622: Todd is the Anti-Chrome Gabe joins us this week to talk about the new JCW Clubman, which is the MotoringFile company car for the next year. We also discuss the possibility of Frank Stephenson returning to head up MINI design. You would think that would be enough, but NO! We talk about the issues that Alex had with his tires, driving an automatic roadster across the desert and the difference graphics make on a MINI. Big show this week that we think you will like. Otherwise we are back from AMVIV and expect regular service to resume. That means if you want to have an image of your MINI featured as the album art for a show, do an ‘@’ reply to us on Instagram or Twitter (we are @whiteroofradio on both), upload it to the Facebook page or, if you are part of the Patreon Community, you can upload it there too!

14 July 2017 Woofcast #625: Going Old School Just Todd and I tonight, talking about his tire and wheel problem and remembering White Roof Radio hosts of old. Good times! Then, how about those Lap Motor Sports guys with the 1-2-5 win at Watkins Glen! Then, it’s sales, again, and how we think they fit in with the latest JD Power Survey results. We have some interesting thoughts on this. What do you think? Comments are open! Also, for you Patrons, there is a brand new Black Roof Radio up. Plenty of inside baseball there this week too.

21 July 2017 Woofcast #626: JCW Sales are Insane Joined by Mr. Bridger from MotoringFile this week and we starting talking about the new Signature Line and pretty much go everywhere from there. After losing Gabe, we talk about the mess that is MINIUSA’s marketing vs. What The Dealers are doing. And I log into the Owners Lounge. Are you a Patron yet? If not, you missed a Black Roof Radio exclusive from Chad. You will hear about it in about 2-3 weeks otherwise. Membership has it’s privledges. And, a HUGE thank you to everyone that is checking out Ride Bikes Radio with Brian and I. We are having a great time making that show! It’s nice that you agree!

11 August 2017 Woofcast #627: The Countryman Crashes Well FINALLY a new show for you guys! Full crew, almost, an a long show too! Chad updates us about MINIs on the Mack and what’s happening at Detroit Tuned (hint: blue mohawk) before we get into the news. Gabe continues to profess his love for the JCW Clubman, while agreeing that the Countryman is good too. And then well all tell him he is wrong about the new MINI package that is supposed to look like Gulf livery. It just doesn’t, but it’s good on MINI to give us a car that isn’t black, grey, white, gray or black. As of this posting, we have entered our 13th year of podcasting! And, as Todd likes to say, we don’t hate each other yet! Thanks to all of you, old timers and n00bs alike, for checking us out, subscribing, sharing it with your friends and leaving us nice reviews on our iTunes page. I couldn’t do it without the guys and we wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t for you guys. THANKS!

25 August 2017 Woofcast #628: “I Love The Clubman” — G. Bridger, 2017 It’s that crazy slow time of the year where nothing is really happening anywhere due to back to school. Still, we solidier on and talk about flight delays, throttle response in a Ferrari vs. a MINI, and RAV4s jumping over a draw bridge in New Jersey. We also talk about MINIs and some BMW stuff from BimmerFile too! MINI E Concept to debut at Frankfurt http://www.motoringfile.com/2017/08/22/mf-review-jcw-clubman-vs-countryman-cooper-s/ BMW Z4 Concept is pretty sweet! BMW at the Monterey Historics gallery Plus a host of other topics this week. We were a bit all over the place as we like to do sometimes. If you missed it, there was a new episode of Black Roof Radio posted earlier this week. You can join the club and get access to those episodes plus early access to all shows over at the Patreon Clubhouse.

1 September 2017 Woofcast #629: Never Try to Teach a Pig to Sing With the announcement of the MINI Electric concept this week, our Slack channel was blowing up, so we figured we had better get that on wax before we lost it! We talk about the design of the concept and our thoughts about it and electric cars overall. Then, because most of the time we can’t help ourselves, we started in on marketing and how we think it’s pretty ridiculous lately and not doing much to help sell cars. What do you think? Comments are open! But, seriously, talk about bad photoshop work. Look at the shadows in this week’s show image. The light is coming from 3 suns, like we are on Alderon! Speaking of, did you hear about the Lego Millennium Falcon? 7500+ pieces and an $800 price tag.

6 October 2017 Woofcast #630: Gabe Has Been Redacted Finally a new show for you guys! Apologies for the delay. If you were a memeber of the The Club you would have had this earlier this week plus you get access to Black Roof Radio, giving you an extra 2 shows a month! Moving on, we spend this week getting caught up. #MTTS2018 details, JCW GP details (hint:HUGE HORSEPOWER, no AWD), an new Marketing firm for MINIUSA and more.

19 October 2017 Woofcast #631: AJ Can Park In A Box Very oddly shaped show for you guys this week. Todd took the helm 100% this week, with Chad and AJ. Skipping news this week, they spent some time talking about driving MINIs, fast, in a controlled environment. AJ was on the west coast at the BMW Driving Center in Palm Springs, Todd did a Miles Ahead event in Kansas City and Chad even took the DT Mule out for some track time. Plus Todd fills us in on why he doesn’t really like the Clubman. Your patience lately has been appreciated! We have all been having crazy schedules and whatnot, keeping us for making a show for you on a consistent basis. I am working on getting us back on track and expect that to happen with the next episode! Don’t forget about our sponsors when it comes time to spend money on MINI stuff. OutMotoring, Craven Speed and . Detroit Tuned too! Without them, none of this would be possible!

27 October 2017 Woofcast #632: Todd Makes a Horse Joke What started as a short show to catch up with Brian about his trip to Germany for a special event held for MINI and BMW Genius’, turned into another rousing edition of White Roof Radio! Todd admits that the JCW Clubman isn’t as bad as he initially thought, at least on the track, Brian does let us know everything (he could) that he learned from his trip to Munich, and Gabe gets really riled up about Apple Car Play and his un-realistic expectations of it. Todd is off to SEMA next week. If you are in Vegas, there is cool stuff happening just outside sponsored by MINI and BMW that you should check out. If you are going to SEMA, be sure to look for Todd!
