Episode 78; MINI Facebook group spotlight, Mystery MINIs, Parts Conundrums and the Question of the Week
In this episode, Dale and Producer Kodi take a scenic detour through the MINI world, starting with a shoutout to a seriously cool Facebook group: MINIs & Murals — where creative MINIacs pair their rides with eye-popping street art. It’s worth a scroll, trust us.
Then, Dale grabs the mic (again) to tackle two recurring mysteries in the MINI community:
- Why do so many folks ask for help but never tell us what kind of MINI they drive?
- Why are people asking for parts without realizing they’re basically hanging a "Scammers Welcome" sign, and that the dealer may be a good alternative?
It’s all in good fun… but also a little tough love for the good of the community.
We also wrap things up with this week’s Cooper Cast Question of the Week, featuring real answers from real MINIacs — read unfiltered and occasionally mispronounced. (You’ve been warned.)
