Re: May 7, 2011, 11 am Eggtc...and Arboretum

Well... going to have to back out of this one too. CMSU graduation is the same day.

I promise I still like you all, every event seems to conflict these days. :P

Re: MINIs in the movies

There's a MINI that Eva Mendes is trying to drive with Will Smith draped over the top of in the big final scene in "Hitch". Not a movie, but I also saw one in the final scene of one episode of "Leverage", that the clients were driving. Helped cement that show as one of my new fav...

Re: Was That You....

2 days ago saw a GP on 435e around Nall/Roe. Didn't even know we had one in the area.
I know of 2, I believe. Todd has one, and I know I've seen another at a couple of our events.

Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....

Well Jack had her third birthday on St. Patrick's Day, which was happy, but sad because now I get to pay for everything myself. Which means, of course, that it was time for something to go wrong. Occassionally, I am getting three warning lights which are staying on about a third of the time. The low...

I've always been of the opinion that the personalized plate should say something about the owner, not just the car. That's why my first plate was "JHAWK2K", the year I graduated KU, and of course my current one is "M1N1AC", cause I'm just crazy about the cars. :) The oddest perso...

Well, from looking at the pics of your Mini, with the black and the big silver grille, I just kept thinking "Darth". :lol: But since you only have 6 characters, "MINIVDR" doesn't work, nor does "DRTHMNI". You could go "DRK SID", but that's probably taken, and ...

K-10 is the best road for most. Wide, smooth, free, and 70 mph speed limit US 40 gets you there, I haven't been on it in years, so I don't know how scenic the drive or the quality of the roads. I-70 is a straight shot for the folks in the Northlands, toll road of course, but you can go fast-fast. If...

Ballroom Blitz

Of course I've heard so many covers of it, I have no idea who really did it originally.
Originally performed by The Sweet, but with all the covers, I figure someone had to know it. You may proceed!
