When's the next meeting?

Damn. I don't have any. Can I get some? Or can you just get em somewhere?

Dunno if this guy is in the Mini club or not. I was surprised thinking cool another first gen. Cooper S in Lawrence in the exact color as mine with center double stripes instead of the traditional ones. Turns out it's a regular Cooper. I didn't ask him any questions, just said hey nice car and was o...

Photoshoot went very well. Looking forward to seeing all the pictures.

See you all there. 10am at the Nelson. We can figure out other locations after that. Don't forget Walkie Talkie's just in case. Lunch will be wherever we feel like cruising to.

Not a bad turnout so far. Looks like it's going to be just five at the moment but I encourage everyone who didn't let me know in advance to just show up. It will be fun.

Sorry for the forum confusion. I moved it to Grassroots Gatherings.

Might have a photography student or two from KU interested in coming out to photograph the MINI's. I'd like to know who all is coming. Sort of set up a roster.

So far the roster is as follows:

ROSTER:
Zach: Oliver
Stephanie: Artemis

Ok Official approval from Mark Zimmerman at the Executive office of the Nelson. He gave us the go ahead for the photo thing and has notified Museum Security that we will be there and to assist us if needed (i.e. asking people to step out of the pictures). Looks like we are good to go. Rain or Shine....

Out of fear of possibly being tossed from the front of the Nelson, does anyone have another location that we could meet at before hand if the Nelson isn't a good place to start. I will email the director there to check and see if it's ok. We should only be photographing there for twenty ish minutes ...

Ugh. Fooled me Dave. Lol. I thought it was for a second.

Darn. I have a weekly dinner thing with friends from Church. Would be cool to meet everyone. Maybe next time. Hopefully I'll see some of ya for the photo thing on the 21st. That should be a lot of fun.

I don't have facebook. What time will it be at? Might be able to make it.

KC MINI PHOTOSHOOT AT THE NELSON-ATKINS MUSEUM :chili: :black: :brg: Official notice (since it's posted further down) Mark Zimmerman (executive office of the Nelson) has approved our photoshoot. The Museum Security has been informed as well so that we don't have any issues. :ds: :elec: :indi: :ps: T...

It looks like he learned how to drive yesterday. Wow. I learned to drive in South Korea. Now that's scary. They don't know the meaning of merge, but apparently on I-35 at rush hour neither do people in Johnson County.

I went ahead and uploaded the 1st session, remember language NSFW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORftxVVZ0Fw&list=UUaBwiAbBZCLhIcEnvuB1ZJw&index=1&feature=plcp Notice too the Elise and I use the exact same line thru the corners.... Wow. Tell the Audi to get off his 'bleepin' brakes. Ge...

Zack, that film was done in 2006, it just got uploaded to You Tube in 2011 when Google video's moved all their film to You Tube. I think the green car in front of me was Alex Vietch in his 2006 Cooper S, but it might be Dimini in his '06 JCW...... You'll have to ask him, but I don't think Tom got h...

Wasn't referring to the blue JCW. Was referencing the BRG MCS outside the windshield.

In this old video from 2008 whose Mini is in front of the camera in front of this car? It's wheels look suspiciously like the ones that now grace my Mini. Is that Tom?

Edit: Correction 2011

It may be some others, but I thought it was those....not that they needed to be welded in, that they rattled, so you had to weld the center bushing to the control arm to stop it. Edit: My bad, I thought you were talking about lower control arm bushings....That's what happens when you just use acron...

Minidave wrote:Are the Alta's the ones that have to be welded so they don't rattle?

We've done several sets of the Power Flex bushings and I think everyone who's done them is happy with them....

From what I was told. The Alta's do not need to be welded in.

What are your opinions of the Alta PSRS? If you have them on your car even better.

Saw this on NAM and thought it was amusing.

I bought a Megan Racing Header and Alta Light-bar with Hella 500's for my Mini today. And got the Union Jack side scuttles for the Gen 1
