Re: New to the club and MINIs.
Welcome to the club, Scott! Scott did one of the quickest turnarounds on borrowing tools I've seen, he came over about 9 pm to borrow the pulley puller and serpentine tool and had them all back to me by 6 the next evening! He also used the "Lifter uppers" as Davester calls them, to great e...

Turns out they will allow the Pup after all, but Don thinks he'll still ride shotgun with me, Styers is driving his Caterham.

Re: KC Mini/Iowa Joint Run - Update!
Looks like my schedule opened up so I will be at this event after all, if the weather is nice I'll bring my classic Mini, if not I'll drive the Clubman S - so I can lead the KC contingent up to Bethany. Looking forward to it! I'm also talking to a couple other classic owners about running too, more ...

Re: KC MINI/Iowa MINI Joint Run - May 6, 2017
Still a good address, James..... It's that time of year again! Jeff Geist will be leading a convoy from Mini of Des Moines (MODM) to Bethany. The route will be about 50/50 Highway 69 and I-35, jumping on the interstate to skip the boring parts of the highway. This convoy is optional, but highly reco...

Re: Classic Minis - Texas Hill Country Drive
Just got home from Texas, and I have to say this was one of the most fun runs I've done in awhile, although it did have some travails - most notably the cattle grates - which took out one of Buzz's rear suspension pieces, but we were able to have a new one made and he was up for the run the next day...

Re: Cooling fan will not quit
The fan relay is sticking, it's not an expensive part and it will probably do it again.
Next time it does, try bumping the fan housing area with your fist, if it stops it's clearly the relay.
Or just buy a relay at the auto parts store, it's a common relay, nothing exotic about it at all.

Re: Cooling fan will not quit
There's a fuse you can pull too.... The problem is the relay is stuck, you need a new one....on your year it may be mounted on the fan assy itself, however don't confuse it with the resister pack. It's a small box with 4 or 5 prongs, it just unplugs. http://miniparts.checkeredflag.com/images/uploads...

Re: Carboned Up Intake Valves
The intake manifold is fairly easy to remove, you can just take the 5 bolts out and pull it back far enough to see down in there with a flash light.

Re: Your Input Needed! Minis at the Market
I would prefer to see the show separate from the All British, although I sure would like to see more participation from the club at the All British Show - after all, MINIs/Minis are British cars!
The lawn at the Nelson would be fab, and I might know someone who could make contact for us.......

Any last minute joiners? We're leaving from KC Sunday March 12, after breakfast. We're going down I-35 to OKC, then I-44 to Wichita Falls to overnight, then straight south to Kerrville where we'll base for the week. The motel is only $49 a night! Weather will be sunny and dry, temps in the mid 70's ...

Scam.
You see these on CL all the time, don't waste your time with it.
I have a friend (an older gentleman who knows better) who got taken in by one of these, cost him $3K......
