White Roof Radio #188
We got a little silly tonight, but there is a lot of show for you, so lets get right to it!
Email starts us off. First, some events. Follow the links to get all the info you need. Pittstopmini.org with their event in October, MickeyandMINI.com coming up this weekend and The MINI club in Utah is having MINIs under the arches. Plus MotorTober at your local dealer. Give ‘em a ring to see what’s going on!
Then, a voicemail leads us into taking about track stuff. In fact, you can call this episode 1 of probably two of track day prep. It’s been a while since we have done one, so we figured it was time.
And we end with a preview of Robert’s upcoming Soundseeing tour which will be going up later in the week.
Want to learn more about Podcasting? The PME is happening this weekend, with a Podcamp going on Thursday. I’ll be there Thursday and Sunday for sure, so if you are going, be sure to find me and say hi.
Like I have mentioned already, we won’t be working this week. Instead you are going to get a great interview that Todd and I did while at Plant Oxford before MINI United. We are pretty sure you are going to love it. As a bonus for you, when we do come back (October 4th…mark your calendars!) we will doing it live. More details to follow later in the week. You might want to sign up for a free Talkshoe account in the meantime.
