Buckle up, MINIacs! In this Express Episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship takes a quick spin through this week’s Cooper Cast Question of the Week: "You’re going on a MINI adventure—who’s riding shotgun, living or dead?" The answers did not disappoint, ranging from historical icons to some questionable backseat passengers.

Then, we peek at MINI’s 2025 sales projections and—gasp—shift paddles are making a comeback! But before you get too excited, they’re only coming to the Countryman… for now. Finally, MINI’s new round OLED dash display just took home an award—from India, of all places! Looks like MINI’s tech is turning heads worldwide.

All that, packed into a quick, fun-sized episode—because even a MINI podcast should be nimble. Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave! 🚗✌️
