mini Ok, first things first, lets get the links out of the way.

Bimmerfile Reviews of the M3 and 135i. And the R56 Cold Start Issue

Remember, if you are having the cold start issue, bring it up with your dealer and MINI USA right away! They want to help, really they do! Be sure to follow the link above and watch the videos if you aren’t sure if you are affected or not.

Finally, what do you think about us changing up the show a bit. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as always.

And yes, for the record, we are ‘Stick Shift Snobs’. There, I said it.

Guys, I would be up for hearing where you guys go on a broader topic range pod cast. I am a self admitted motor-head and although I love the Mini brand I generally enjoy automotive news. I am also a engineer by trade so have a technology nerd gene floating around for tech news in general.

New York City is in the process of trying to implement a congestion charge. They have a plan in place and it is awaiting approval by lawmakers. It will charge drivers with EZPass $8 a day and those without it will be charged $9.

And I would love it if you did a podcast on a broader automotive topic. Just make sure it doesn’t become anything like the Autoblog podcast. It seems like they just spend most of their time discussing what Ford needs to do to recover from financial ruin. I trust you will find something fun and interesting to talk about.

“Stick Shift Snobs”

You really liked my memorable quote, didn’t you? =)

Hey, by the way, no more LIVE shows anytime soon? I really look forward to those…

Live show soon. Well, not too soon, but not so far away that I can’t get away with saying soon.

Don’t worry, I’ll post the morning of when it happens.

One vote here for continued “narrow-casting”. ;-)

I agree that you should broaden the topics but I think it would be a bad idea if you start talking about the new Malibu. Can you lay off the new TATA car that is 2500 bucks. I am actually getting it for a family member in India. (LOL) I will probably be able to test drive that thing when I go there. Apparently my cousin said there is a queue to get one.

Here’s an idea for an upcoming, more “open” style of WRR:

“The 35 K sports car.”

Do one episode for new cars, one for used.

WHile we’re at it, I ‘d like to hear you guys add in a few of the top folks in “Classic”) Minis.

And one on classic mini history, racing pedigree,

One on BMW racing pedigree would be good too.

Anybody else have show ideas?
