Re: KCME joint drive with the IA club (CIMC) - Sat June 2, 11am, Bethany, MO

Just a quick update. I drove the entire route today. Nothing bad to report, roads are in good shape, but make sure you fill up in Bethany before we leave. There is nowhere in Leon to get 91 octane, and that’s the last stop (for ice cream!) this year.

Here is a FB event page for the CIMC club that you can RSVP to, which will help us get a better idea of overall numbers: https://www.facebook.com/events/165457687600023/ If that link doesn't work, you're probably not a member of the group.

Sorry about your car, Zack.

If you're not in a new ride by then, I can lend you a passenger seat at the front if you bum a ride up. It may be frightening :evil:

KCME joint drive with the IA club (CIMC) - Sat June 2, 11am, Bethany, MO

Expect much of the same fun twisty roads you've come to love over the last... gosh, six years now? I think this will be the seventh annual drive. Crazy!

Re: KC Mini/Iowa Joint Run - Update!

I'm not entirely sure if there will be enough cars coming from the KC area. If Minidave is still planning on driving his classic Mini (and the weather looks perfect so far) I'm not sure if there will be anyone to do it. Anyone else coming from KC want to volunteer? Regardless you can simply plan to ...

Re: KC MINI/Iowa MINI Joint Run - May 6, 2017

Hey Seth - very similar to the previous years! About 100 miles of backroads. Start in Bethany, MO. Lunch at Toot-Toot at 11, depart from Wally World parking lot at noonish. We'll likely end up in Lamoni, IA somewhere that has ice cream to end the day. This event is and always has been more about th...

Re: KC MINI/Iowa MINI Joint Run - May 6, 2017

We went by the Mushroom Festival in Richmond Missouri schedule, so I think they had the date first, lol. Gotcha. I'm sure not everyone will be doing the mushroom festival but if you're doing another drive like this later in the year, I would love to join. Nope. Done it once a year every May. This w...

Re: KC MINI/Iowa MINI Joint Run - May 6, 2017

As fun as this sounds, I'm going to have to pass because it conflicts with the Mini's to Richmond event also being done on the 6th of May by Hillary. That kinda sucks, I think we had picked that date first. We went by the Mushroom Festival in Richmond Missouri schedule, so I think they had the date...

FRS 2-way radio with subchannels is the ticket (also called a privacy code I think.)

Motorolas are really common.

Going to be hard to foster discussion about this drive considering my post in the FB group wasn't ever approved or was deleted.

Re: KCME/CIMC Joint Drive 5/14/16 (Saturday)

So who all is going to make it up for this drive?

Y'all miss out on a good time... I can't see much of a reason to keep dragging the Des Moines crew down to Missouri every year if the turnout from down south is anything like it has been the last couple of years.

Come check out a Hellcat tomorrow...

No Mini for me tomorrow ( click here ) so I'll be bringing this boat for you all to ogle. http://i.imgur.com/oP5ON7Jh.jpg It actually can handle, sort of. Right before it tries to kill you. I pegged the lateral G meter at 0.92. Not bad! Modern cars rarely are anymore though... I feel like Dodge set ...
