A quick note to the affliates; we do go long this week*. Todd wraps a Toyota, Gabe gets us pulled from YouTube and Chad is trying to sell out of purses. It has been a bit since we last did a show, so we had some catching up to do.
New JCW Motor, a lot of transmission talk, a lot of talk about electric and some talk about sales. And the future of the internal combustion engine. And, and, and, and. Like I mentioned, it’s been a while since we did a show, so we had some catching up to do.
This delay has been my fault. I was busy buying and moving into a house. That process has been completed and we will be back on track with 2 shows per month for you guys going forward. Along with that, please watch this space as I have some plans for things that I am going to need your help with.
Don’t forget the fine sponsors here either. OutMotoring for everything that you need for your MINI and your person that is MINI related. Craven Speed for the coolest, custom created accessories for your MINI, MotoringStripes for all of your graphics and, of course, DetroitTuned for everything else, including full service repairs and custom tuning for your MINI (and other cars too!).
*Listen to the end for bonus out-takes!

<p>Received an email from the local MINI dealer yesterday. They’re putting together a small rally in late April. Wouldn’t be anything worth mentioning were in not for the fact that it seems so out of character for this particular dealer (having not really demonstrated any real interest in promoting and/or supporting the MINI culture). Is this a part of some larger shift in the brand awareness campaign? Or, maybe it’s just a small-market dealer trying to stay relevant.</p>
<p>Also. Love the podcast but, you guys gotta fix the mic noises. Had to bail on the last one. Just too annoying.</p>
<p>Thanks Don! Appreciate the feedback and I agree on the sound quality. Will be fixed with the next episode.</p>
<p>POSTING ON MOTORINGFILE……….. MINI, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ROADSTER OR SOME VERSION OF THIS CAR. WE LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mazda MX5 shouldn’t dominate the market, and the R59 Roadster was pulled off the market way too soon!</p>
