In this episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship and his trusty sidekick Producer Kodi Monster (who, as always, has no speaking role but lots of opinions) bring you another motoring mix of MINI news and community fun.
- 🚦 Safety First: The brand-new MINIs score five stars in the latest Euro NCAP crash tests — proving once again that small and mighty can also mean safe and sturdy.
- 🏁 Concept Dreams: Out of Munich, MINI drops two flashy new concept cars at the annual auto show. They’re race-inspired, loaded with attitude… and completely unobtainable. But hey, they’re fun to drool over.
- 😂 Question of the Week: Straight from the Cooper Cast Facebook group — this week’s answers had us laughing and shaking our heads in equal measure.
- 📸 Show Us the Goods: A reminder to always include pictures when asking for advice in Facebook groups. Words help, but photos seal the deal.
- 🛢️ Facebook group stuff: Oil filter brand recommendations — what’s popular, what people trust, and what to steer clear of, and when it comes to pics, help us help you!.
As always, we mix a little news, a little fun, and a whole lot of MINI community spirit.
Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
