Woofcast 699: Todd Has Owned Every JCW

As previously discussed during White Roof Radio 702, here is where we started with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Recorded 20 years ago! Enjoy!

Starting off strong with some throw backs, some soapbox talking OMG did you see the Super Lagera video? And, did you already catch Black Roof? Yea, Woofcast 21 will be in the feed later this week too. Nice to get to use the news music this week too. Just be sure to keep up with everything happening at MotoringFile.com. And, as we near the crazy season, don't forget any of the friends of the show; MotoringStripes, Detroit Tuned, OutMotoring.com and CravenSpeed.This week's sponsor is me. Are you L&D or work with Elevenlabs and Powerpoint? Do you need to work with Elevenlabs with Powerpoint? I would like to introduce you to Voxsmith. I've worked really hard on it and will be expecting to ship it in December. Show LinksSuper LageraSuper Lagera VideoMINI QualityDeus Ex Machina Concepts With Holger HampfHow Leaving F1 And Launching The MINI E Made BMW An EV LeaderThe 2026 MINI Cooper Paul Smith Edition -- MINI's Biggest Special Edition Ever

The 700th meeting under the White Roof has us leading off talking about poking. Who knew that was still a thing? Silliness completed, we jumped right into news from MotoringFile with a reminder about the fanciest MINI ever produced, the MINI Goodwood, before jumping into the rest of the news, stories linked below! If you missed this years MINIs on the Dragon, don’t do that again!

Todd forgot how to drive an automatic, and we talk about pants. Seems like a pretty normal episode of White Roof Radio, except we also took a detour through 2007. Our studio host was super glitchy the night we recorded, so if we feel off, it's not just you!The big takeaways from this week from MotoringFile:Paddlegate!Part 1 of the Pat InterviewThe Wheels Gabe wouldn't shut up aboutKeep an eye on the feed this week. Gabe has given us permission to include the full interview with Pat Mckenna in the feed! Have you gone over and grabbed the feed for Black Roof Radio? When you open your app, do you see BRR698? If not, you are using the incorrect feed. It would seem I was a spaz and shared the wrong URL a few weeks ago. The correct feed can be found over at Black Roof Radio.

Owners Lounge is still there and we almost did not get a gasoline powered JCW! Lots to get caught up, both from us and from MotoringFile! And, don't forget, there is a new episode of Black Roof Radio, with one more following later this week! I should also be sharing the feed to black roof at the same time. We did cover a lot this week!
