In this info-packed episode, host Dale Blankenship and Producer Kodi dive into a few hot topics for MINI owners! First up: protecting and maintaining your MINI’s graphics. Roof stripes, bonnet decals, side graphics — they aren’t “set it and forget it.” With a little TLC, your vinyl can stay looking fresh and sharp for years.
Next, we tackle the dark side of Facebook groups: fake, scammer-run MINI communities. One new group in particular is popping up, run by fake admins and moderators, with MINIacs joining left and right. We break down the red flags and share tips and tricks for spotting these bogus groups before you get caught in the trap.
Finally, we ruffle a few feathers talking MINI parts vendors. Not all are created equal. Some are there to genuinely help MINI owners thrive — others? Their main goal is to make a quick buck off the back of the community. Do they work on MINIs themselves? Nope. Install the parts they sell? Nada. Know which parts perform better and last longer? Not a chance. Tune in to hear who actually supports the MINI community — and who’s just looking out for shareholders and private equity partners.
Buckle up, MINIacs — it’s a no-holds-barred episode you won’t want to miss!
