Apologies for posting late. A live show tonight! Thanks to everyone that made it, apologies to those of you that missed it. And yes, for the record, Todd was wearing pants.
AMVIV is just about a week away! Listen in for Todd’s tip for getting a room in Vegas if you missed out on the great rate Palace Station was offering. There is still time to register for the event if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t register, you should still think about going, but remember, if you don’t register, you won’t be able to attend the banquet. Tickets for that are presale only.
If you do decided to go, be sure to be around the upper deck of Palace Station on Saturday because we will be doing an honest to goodness live show. Woofcast #291 or #292, depending on what happens this week.
Of course, we cover news of the week from Motoringfile.com. If you were wondering what a Space Box is, here you go. Of course, if you are looking for something more practical, check out the image above, sent in by our good friend Jim Peterson, The “Kernel” of C.O.R.N.
More on AMVIV to follow early next week. Stay tuned!
If you missed it, I’ve set up a few White Roof Radio page at Facebook, with links to other cool places on Facebook, including the AMVIV group. Come join us!

Quite a bit of chatter about my new camera, affair-proofing a MINI, Molly Wood, the weather in Kansas City, Todd sells 2 MINIs and Fireball Tim is selling his.
Then, on to news of the week from Motoringfile, including more making fun of the Clubman Spoiler.
Before we get into the content portion of the show, Robert in Toronto checks in. You can search for his AMVIV videos over at YouTube or check him out at his other podcast at MobileMovie.ca. It’s great fun!
Gabe checks in via satellite phone from an undisclosed location and he talks a little about the 135i he drove last week then Todd and Gabe spend pretty much the rest of the show waxing poetic about all things JCW and then on to talking about cars built in America. No, really.
After rolling through a short rant about Golf, db and Fireball get right into it! Some words from Darth Vader start us off, as usual.
Then into the movies. Casino Royale’s Martin Campbell to direct the Green Lantern!, Brett Ratner doing Beverly Hills Cop Reboot, Samuel Bayer directing Nightmare on Elm Street Reboot but we don’t know why. Plus a whole bunch more!
Stuff on the web you need to check out. Start off at Jalopnik for the Bumble Bee Build then go check out what have to be bootleg movie sketches from Transformers. Check them out before they are gone! Finally, consider yourself warned. SkyNet Research is online. Finally! The Fireball Tim eBook Store is online! You can check that out at Fireballed.com.
We finish with Tim’s Oscar picks, a new Top 10 list AND a new contest!
For those of you that thought we were going to be live, all apologies. We had a bit of a scheduling conflict. Before that, I choked on the intro and Todd and I both realize that we are getting old after realizing that our good friend The Future Queen of Nebraska (Happy Birthday Tori!) was born the year we graduated highschool.
Gabe was at the Chicago Auto Show so not able to be with us, but we carried on without him with news of the week from Motoringfile.
Then some auto industry talk and bit more on the throttle body freezing issue. Todd dug into this a little deeper and has a very good explanation as to what is happening. From what we understand, this is only affecting the MCS and Clubman S (and some Volkswagens). We explain what is happening and what they are trying to possibly fix it. If this is a problem that you are having with your MINI, be sure to get it into the dealer to have it looked at.
After it’s nearly 3 year hiatus, the WRR Event Cast is back! Michael and I cover all of the events that are coming up.
If you have an event you would like us to cover, send it in! You can also call the WRR Hotline at (206) 202-3252 and leave a message. If you mention The World Famous White Roof Radio in your message, we will play it on the show.
Follow the jump for links and dates.
