Buckle up, folks! In this episode, host Dale Blankenship is back in the driver’s seat, navigating the twists and turns of the MINI world. First on the docket, we’re talking about the recent crackdown on racer-wanna-be drivers and motorcyclists who apparently missed the memo that the Dragon isn't their personal racetrack. After a local accident, police patrols are out in force, so keep that lead foot in check—or you might find yourself with an unplanned pit stop!

Next, we venture back into the wild, wild world of MINI Facebook groups where the advice is as free as it is questionable. Dale's got the scoop on the a couple of the latest eyebrow-raising tips and why you should probably double-check before you follow through on that DIY project.

We're kicking off the first of a multi-part series on planning the perfect run, rally, or drive for your MINI club. Whether you’re looking to be crowned the King or Queen of Motoring or just want to avoid a logistical nightmare, Dale’s got you covered with tips to keep your event running smoother than a freshly waxed MINI.

We’ve got a wrap up from the MINI At The Glen event in New York on October 10. Picture this: 150 MINIs descending on the track at the legendary Watkins Glen International Raceway. If that doesn’t rev your engine, we don’t know what will!

We’ll also give you a quick teaser for the upcoming MINIs Take Vermont event in October. Spoiler alert: It’s not just about the fall foliage, though that’s a nice bonus!

In a more somber note, we bid a fond farewell to a beloved MINI owner who recently lost her courageous battle with cancer. Her legacy and love for all things MINI will forever be a part of our community.

And don’t forget to tune in next Tuesday, August 27, for a special episode dedicated to spotting scammers in the MINI Community. Think of it as a crash course in avoiding the sketchy side of the internet—no helmet required.
