This week on The Cooper Cast, Dale Blankenship (and Producer Kodi Monster, who’s still refusing to speak on mic) tackle a mix of MINI topics worth tuning in for. First up—dipsticks. Yes, the kind for checking your oil, not the ones posting bad advice on Facebook. Then we chat about why a dash cam might be one of the best investments you can make for your MINI.

We’ve also got some new videos coming soon to the Cooper Cast Facebook page showing off neat little MINI features you might not even know your car has.

Fresh back from MINI on the Mack in Michigan, we give a wrap-up of the event—from over 1,000 MINIs and nearly 2,000 MINIacs to the thousands of dollars raised for cancer and Parkinson’s research.

And, of course, we look ahead to upcoming MINI adventures—events in New York, out at the Dragon, Winchester, Virginia, and even a lighthouse-hopping run up the East Coast.

Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!
