Buckle up, MINIacs! In this episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship (flying solo without Producer Kodi—probably off chasing squirrels. Again.) dives into some of the most popular mods for the second-gen MINI and its N-series engines. Whether you want more power, better handling, or just to make your MINI even more MINI, we’ve got you covered.
Then, surprise surprise—the much of the social media is still complaining about the new MINI. Some things never change (but will hopefully die down). But is the backlash justified, or are we looking at another New Coke situation? Dale draws some uncanny parallels between MINI’s latest model and the infamous soda flop of the ‘80s.
And for an extra dose of design drama, we have a podcast recommendation that hilariously breaks down how not to design a car. Could there be more lessons for MINI to learn? We’ll let you decide, Cooper Casters!
Tune in for mods, laughs, and a trip down memory lane. Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave! 🚗✌️
Past Gas Podcast featuring the Pontiac Aztec design kerfluffel. Give it a listen, it's rather comical!
