Re: MINI Max has a New Little Brother, Buzz

I need to bring my torque wrench by and check out the calibration.

OK -- since the other June events have been cancelled, this IS our club event for June!

Re: 2014 Monthly Schedule - Cruise-ins and other good times!

Gents. I am bowing out of June. I won't have a day off until the 20th, so planning or attending an event isn't going to happen. I see there is a wine event on the 21st, which can fill the void :). Understood. I have wiped out the previous June events and replaced with the Excelsior Springs Wine Fes...

Re: CLUB EVENT? 8th Annual Excelsior Springs Wine Fest, June

Just checked the event posting on the Facebook page. Eight 'yes', four 'maybe' so far.

So, maybe 10 or so cars at this point?

INTERESTED? 8th Annual Excelsior Springs Wine Fest, June 21

This is coming up in a big hurry...but I haven't seen a whole lot of club energy behind it.

Are we committing to participating in this event? Or do we let the coordinators know that we don't have enough interest?

Please speak now!

Re: BRGR Restaurant.

We had a garage day lunch there once a couple years ago.

I live near there -- seems there are always a couple MINIs in the lot. I think they must be workers in one of the shops there, since it is always the same MINIs parked in roughly the same locations.

Re: KCME-CIMC Joint Drive - May 18th 2014 - New Meeting Spot

If you're headed north I'd take the second Lamoni exit and take 69 over. Then use 2 to get back to 35. Just be careful coming into town on those esses... The 35mph speed limit comes up on you in a hurry. That would be counter-clockwise and opposite of how we went - but I bet it would be just as fun!

Re: KCME-CIMC Joint Drive - May 18th 2014 - New Meeting Spot

Hwy 69 on that loop is trafficked by the SO quite frequently, and sometimes the local PD as well (they go back and forth to the courthouse.) Plus it only has a couple good sets of curves. Skip it and catch Hwy 2 over to I35. OK - I see what you mean. Heading north on I-35, exit at IA 2 and head eas...

Re: KCME-CIMC Joint Drive - May 18th 2014

I think I need to take a detour to that Leon / Nine Eagles loop next time I head up to Des Moines. Wow, what a wonderful stretch of 2 lane. Last month Baron told me the front brakes where 'this close' to being eligible for replacement. Our little jaunt on Sunday was just the trick -- on Tuesday the ...

Re: KCME-CIMC Joint Drive - May 18th 2014 - New Meeting Spot

I am happy to help coordinate the KC to Bethany leg of this trip. I was thinking this year maybe we just cut right to the chase and head up I-35 from Liberty and do it in 60 minutes. Give people a chance to sleep in and do something else with their early Sunday morning. So I propose to meet at the P...

No, Lyle is a little too private for that. But you have seen his cars at East Meets West. He is always there.

He has several classics - a very perfect clubman woody in blue-green that I am sure you have seen.

I have the impression that most of their products do not contain silicone. His write-ups on products usually talk negatively about silicone-containing car care products.

Re: MINIS ON THE DRAGON

MOTD was awesome this year. Saw one car from Kansas. Pratt County. Weather was great. Even with as many cars that there was up there, the only time things were a little crazy was on Saturday when other car groups and hundreds of motos joined in. Got a little crowded up there on the Dragon. We had g...
