The Fun Podcast for You, the MINI Motoring Community!

Scammers, MINIs, and epic drives—oh my! This week on The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship dives into another round of hot topics for the MINI community.

First up, the scammers are at it again (seriously, do these guys ever take a day off?). This time, they’ve spoofed a legit MINI vendor, scamming someone out of a cool thousand bucks! We break down what happened and how to keep your hard-earned cash safe.

Then, it’s all about the new Oxford Edition MINI—and spoiler alert: this isn’t some stripped-down, bare-bones model. It’s got solid features, a sweet price tag, and might just be one of the best MINI deals around.

Next, we shift gears to big MINI events on the horizon. Helenblitz is next week in Helen, Georgia, bringing MINIs and Bavarian vibes together for a weekend of fun. And then, we’ve got MINIs on the Dragon (April 30 – May 4), where nearly 500 MINIacs and 400 MINIs will take on the legendary Tail of the Dragon—318 curves in just 11 miles! If you like adrenaline and MINIs, this is the place to be.

And of course, we wrap things up with the Cooper Cast Question of the Week:
"You're setting up a MINI run—where are you going and why?" The answers? Everything from epic mountain roads to coastal cruises and twisty backroad adventures.

It’s all here in Episode 48, so buckle up, hit play, and let’s motor! As always, motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!🚗💨
