White Roof Radio #344
We missed a week and came back with a live show! If you missed it, you really should follow any of us on Twitter or **like** the WRR Facebook Fan page. If you would rather find out in other ways, sound off in the comments below and I will see about hookin’ you guys and gals up!
Ok, once the cake and drink segment of the show was out of the way, we got into news from Motoringfile.com like we like today. Big news from last week was the ’11 refresh and it capitalized the conversation.
We went long this week. You know we must have since the, part 1, is almost an hour long. Part 2 will be available later in the week (like Wednesday or Thursday).
Are you a Flickr user? The Official MTTS 2010 Group has been started. Go on a join up and get it out of the way!

<p>You read my mind! :)</p>
<p>How about some photos of the new green lounge leather and the other seating option, i think its Toffy check? Also any new dash options?</p>

<p>it’s delayed</p>
<p>They’re probably waiting to see if the Euro improves in it’s exchange rate with the dollar. The dollar had made advances on the Euro in the past few week.</p>
<p>You can configure a 2011 on the UK MINI site now :)</p>

<p>Nice! Converting MPG (imperial) to US MPG indicates the UK Cooper S Convertible gets around 39 MPG (US). I wonder how different the US numbers will be?</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope this conversion is accurate or that this isn’t constrained to the Euro models…I am calculating 51 mpg US for the justa cooper (extra urban, or highway here in the states). That’s huge!</p>
<p>It’s not a straight translation = those numbers are high. We have information on the MPG in our <a href="https://www.motoringfile.com/section/2011-lci/" rel="nofollow">previous refresh articles</a>.</p>
<p>Wow…that UK configurator is kinda sucky. I’m still getting used to the MINI USA one, but it is a lot better than that UK one.</p>
<p>I guess us non-live listeners were denied the weekly “Ask Chad” segment — what gives with the edit guys? I felt robbed!</p>
<p>Are the black headlights going to be available from launch of the 2011s? I hope so.</p>
<p>we have to fix our roof</p>
