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!
