I’ve been eluding to it for the last few weeks now. Being all secretive and junk. I’m sure it’s been driving you crazy.
What have I been hiding? Well friends, I’m glad you asked.
Some of you remember last summer when MINIUSA held a little event called MINI Takes the States (yes, MINI, not MINIs). Over at the show, we provided some pretty good coverage. At least something every day during the event, with some days having multiple audio posts.
All that coverage caught the attention of MINI. No, not MINIUSA (they already were lovin’ the coverage). This would be MINI corporate in Munich. Yes, Germany.
They liked our coverage so much in fact that they have asked Whiteroofradio to be the official podcast of the upcoming MINI United Event at the end of June.
Whiteroofradio is going to Amsterdam baby! To say we are excited would be a minor understatement.
We will be providing updates throughout the event, both audio and words (maybe some video) at Whiteroofradio.com and Motoringfile.com. Much the same as we did during MTTS, with updates going online as they happen, not like AMVIV where we posted everything days after.
So, now you know why I needed my passport. The Mac? Just in case something went wrong, I thought it best that we all had machines at least from the same manufacturer. I mean, c’mon, Todd and Gabe totin’ Mac’s and me with a Dell? Just wouldn’t look right.
Keep an eye on MINIUnited.com for more stuff coming.

You are just trying to justify a few joints and more whores in Amsterdam — now how you got MINI to aid you in your master plan is what is so amazing.
(To the lad, your father would NEVER and will jerk a knot in your tail if you do.)

It’s been pointed out to me that MINI events, it appears, are held in areas that are known for prostitution. First, AMVIV (which is in Vegas, where, btw, prostitution is no longer legal) and second in Amsterdam where, from what I understand, prostitution is very much legal.
I’ll go on the record right now saying that I have no desire to engage in any of ‘that’ kind of activity. Same goes with the drugs.
I would appreciate it if we could stop kidding about it. I’ve been getting grief over this that I don’t really need.

was it something i said? kidding!
i really like the more au naturel db, the one that isn’t PG, like on the other blogs you manage.

Ahem. I might mention that the largest MINI event in the US, the Dragon, is held in a dry county.
So, no, MINI events are not always situated around drugs and sex trades — but teasing db, the highly straight-laced db is rather fun.

Hey wow, you guys are going to Amsterdam! Oh, I had no idea!
Ok, no drugs or hooker jokes…
What do you think of Dutch beer?
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:29 am
I kinda had already guessed it was this but really was hoping for the sex change trip to thailand.
No hooker jokes? Not even one??
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:34 am
man, i’m so jealous! can’t wait to hear all the great podcasts. How ofter are you guys going to be able to update mf/wwr? Can’t wait to see some kick-ass video, too! I’m stoked for all of you!

I’m hoping to be able to do audio updates multiple times per day. That, plus Gabe and I will be blogging at the MINI United site as well as MF. Plus the video (not sure about timing on that).
We’ll be all over it like stink on sock!
For Paul…1 more hooker joke. But only for you. After that, we’re done!
April 23rd, 2007 at 3:09 pm
dang, now I can’t think of one. But I will warn you not to take pictures of the ladies in the windows. They don’t like it, and they won’t let the simple matter of being underdressed stop them from chasing you down the street and beating the cr*p out of you. Believe me, I know.
