    This week, we are listening to the smooth and dulcet sounds or White Roof Radio, circa 2006. We weren't even a year old! Here are the OG notes. Woofcast 93Ok, now for something totally different. Besides hearing about Todd's near death experiences, we have a list show. You know, just 3 guys sitting around, dreaming about cars. It was a fun show to do and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it! Of course, feedback is always welcome! You can email us (feedback@whiteroofradio.com), or you can leave a comment below and, as always, you can leave us a voice message at (206) 33-WHITE. Thanks, as usual, to the sponsors. Detailing Concepts for all of your Zymol needs and MINI Car Parts.net for those parts, accessories and handy DIY manuals. They help us keep up with your insatiable appetite for bandwidth, so do what you can to help them!

    Woofcast 704: db Forgot to Hit Record

    First time in a very very very long time that we've done that. Luckily, we still have a ton of show for you! If you already caught [our interview with Norm and Eric][l1], go ahead and fast forward, after visiting [their GoFundMe][l2] page, of course. More information can be found at [https://paddyhopkirkmemorialfoundation.org/][l3]. I am 75% sure I will be going on #MTTS26 California. Anyone else from AZ/NV/SoCal want to do some caravan action?

    db is rolling out the way back machine in 2026! Let's kick things off with the first episode featuring Mr. Detroit Tuned, Chad Miller! If you missed it, our first show of the year is in the feed, in which db explains his plan to make sure you guys are getting at least 1 show per month! He says he's back. Y'all should believe him. Also, I might be sneaking these out to Black Roof Radio subscribers first. Just saying. The link to subscribe can be found there.

    Woofcast 702 – Gabe Discovered Marketplace

    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
