Carry a Christmas Tree with a MINI

Posted in My MINI — by db on 12/26/07

For those of you out there that don’t think this is possible.

tree on the MINI

I only had to strap it to the top because this tree was too tall to fit inside.

Now I have a fair number of miles on my car and really don’t car about the odd scratch or sap. If that bothers you, then you could put down a blanket or something. Gabe did once, but I can’t find the picture. Maybe he’ll be kind enough to link it up for us in the comments ;)

Have a great time everyone! And, no matter what, be safe. Lots of people out there driving Toyotas and other mind-numbing autos that aren’t watchin’ out for you.

And, if you are looking for a little holiday music, I made up a CD’s worth of songs that you can download over at WRR.

Merry Christmas!

WRR Live Tonight

Posted in podcasts — by db on 12/20/07

Thanks everyone for joining us last week! If you think we should do this more often (or not), take a sec to click over to WRR and take the poll. It’s quick and easy, don’t even need an email address.!

Just a quick reminder to all you guys and gals that WRR will be live tonight! 7PM Pacific, 9 Central, 10 Eastern. Check back at Motoringfile, WRR and here for complete details.

Like last time, we are going to be using uStream, but without the video. That means will be taking advantage of their chat room as well. If you are going to want to join us, you will need an account, but it’s free and takes no time to set up!

I have also added a few new features to the site. Besides the redesign, I’ve added the ability to subscribe to comments and the live comment previewer. Check them out, let me know what you think!

My R50 vs. ’08 R55

Posted in My MINI — by db on 12/17/07

Big fan of the Clubman I am. Especially after looking at the EPA numbers I posted. Not too shabby.

But how does poor Roxy compare? Not too bad really, but not as good as I would like.

That’s lower fuel use PLUS cleaner burning. Really gives me something else to think about when it comes time to upgrade.
