Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

This is the same drive-in that Greaserama takes place at I think (fun, FUN car show BTW). Anyway, put me and my wife down for attending. We will be driving from Lees Summit as well matti if you wanted to caravan or something. SURE - when Dave gets the times up we can start coordinating. I'm near 29...

Welcome and I look forward to seeing you motoring around the Lees Summit area!

This is the one I have:

I like it. It does bend a little easier than I'd like - but is secure and have not had any problems with it.

count me in... sounds like a great time.

As we get closer we can start looking at meeting points to drive over.

anyone else coming from the east side of town?

I thought you had the rules figured out!

just wait until we introduce Phase 10 at the next MINI gathering

on the way back today - will have some pics to post either Wednesday or Thursday.

Whoo Hoo...Tomorrow is the BIG Day!!!!!

See you somewhere along I 70 about 6:30 to join the caravan.

Here is a technique that I found a while back on NAM or somwhere... I redid the images when I put Matti's summer shoes on today.

now the sunglass mod - that was a sight to see


and the entry mat mod is a great mod to have, saving the backs of my seats from lots of scrapes and mars.

I've been told that it is a "rolling" start along I-70 and 291 HWY -

I believe the caravan is passing through that intersection about 6:30 am on Tuesday.

WOW! I can't believe how many from the Metro area are going to attend this year! Also, a quick update - some know this already, but I have business in Paducah on Wednesday - and hope to meet up with any or all caravanning through on Thursday. I'll be driving from KC to Paducah on Tuesday afternoon f...

There are written notes and instructions on the 2nd page.

any need for further fund raising at this time?

When I was there in October, and I drove the Dragon on Friday, nary an officer was to be seen...

So, we can hope that is still the case.

Maryville, TN (50 miles from Fontana Dam) looks like a fairly sized town, I can't image having to spill over into Knoxville for a room, but then again I'm sure someone wiser will eventually tell me I'm wrong. I'm okay with that. I actually went down this fall and stayed in Knoxville - very easy dri...

It is very easy to do in one day. Last year ddmini and I did it with a nice break for lunch. I ended up heading down to Chattanooga and they drove over to Fontana. Ended up in a big heavy rain storm that really slowed them down. I do remember Dave saying it was late when they finally arrived. I drov...

Well, the Dragon is approaching again. By my count, the official start is less than 99 days away. I'm going again, and I think John and Johnna, as well as Dave and Debra. We haven't set a specific time / date of departure yet.... We have thrown around leaving May 1st, (one day after the "offica...

oh, and Seth.... you know you always have a standing invitation for a drink....

If I could send some of this weather to you, I would....

(and I probably deserve the earlier comments )

sounds good to me....

here was my view about 10:45 this morning:




sunset sounds great if I can have my work obligations done!

actually, yes....

In fact, just checked in... and there is one directly outside my room

Anyone up for a warm weather meeting this weekend?

I'm going to be in Florida, St. Pete Beach to be exact Friday - Monday... sans MINI unfortunatly, so.....


Maybe sit on the beach drinking pina coladas?

Clubman? :D:D

I'll bring extra tools - I've got sockets - rachets, etc as well as some torx stuff.

count me in...

Sounds like a good time.

I've got a couple of jack stands I'll bring along with a floor jack if anyone needs an extra.

Todd, any tips on removing the vinyl from the sun roof? I think I'm going to take it off for the winter before I have a new one put on next spring.
