Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Time for a clue...

She's a Good Girl Gone Bad and had another hit this year that created a horrible earworm (ella, ella, ella...).

More from the Chix genre...

Moody Blues, Your Wildest Dreams? (please don't ask how I knew that, not my kind of music but now stuck in my head--aaaagggh!)

I just went for a one hour cruise, too...my Monday evening drive is usually 30 minutes or less but tonight I found myself in a long line of traffic going 27 MPH on the highway. Ick. I did notice one extremely full parking lot at the Wal-Mart neighborhood market at 91st & Metcalf, otherwise not m...

Here's a new sighting... Channel 9 just broke in with a weather/traffic update (and interrupted high quality programming--Jeff Foxworthy is on The View) and I spotted a PW Mini from the Scout Cam at I-35 and Southwest Blvd. headed South. Considering how the weather is looking, my only MINI sightings...

I suggested that to Brett earlier this week! We must have attended the same medical school.

so on 12.23 i go to a sleep clinic to see why i can't fall asleep. now if i don't sleep at all, what will that tell them? Have you tried Lavender? I wasn't a big believer in aromatherapy scents until I made the drive to Wisconsin with 300 lavender-scented wedding favors in the car. It was difficult...

I was picking up some supplies at Michael's this afternoon and overheard a lengthy rant from someone working in the framing dept. about her Liberty/Clay County real estate tax bill. Seems hers went up 30% in one year and she's considering selling her house. Apparently a new tax levee in Liberty prop...

I see the real estate tax fairy visited your mailbox today, too.

Yep, it's Jimmy Buffett. Your turn...

I think he also wore a paper bag over his head...

That would be Shameless , Ani Difranco. Thanks for replacing my ear worm! (Now departing the Lilith Fair collection... :lol: ) Here's one from the past. It was a hit in 1977, but shortened for radio airplay. This "lost verse" surfaced in 1999. Old men in tank tops Cruising the gift shops C...

i'd rather have this! http://www.silose.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/micra-barbie.jpg I think that car still qualifies as British....about as much as the MINI. Designed in London, built in the the UK plus it's CUTE. Please put my name on the "I want a ride" list when you figure out how ...

Come on, Em! Post one up....maybe something from our generation?

Silver MC in KC, crossing into Liberty on 152 East around 1 this afternoon. I think I've seen this car before....and each time I've seen it, I wonder what would happen if I staged a MINI intervention 'cuz the car would really like a nice day at the spa/carwash.

If Stubby aspires to be a billboard and you want to go girly, I've got a 20" round MotoringChix decal just waiting for you... :lol: that would look pretty fab on my PW too ;-) Although it's not quite PW, I did try it out on the Snowberry White Classic in the other side of my garage (shhhh!). I...

If anyone is looking for me on the roads the next two days, you should look for the black Cooper loaner from Baron that is sporting a ton of graphics. These include, but are not limited to, Tire Rack, White Roof Radio and Baron. I am not sure that I am comfortable driving around in a rolling billbo...

I saw two MINIs today around 2 P.M., both PW, while waiting at one stoplight! PW/B, personalized plates AVALAR (or something close?), headed West on 152 at Conistor in Liberty. PW/B cabrio, turning South on Conistor from East 152. Personalized plates GEEG. Beautiful 'vert! I also saw a trolley pass ...

You are sort of doing some conflicting things, lowering the car means either stiffer springs so that you don't bottom out or a rising rate....but when you add that 250lbs extra weight hanging off the back, it seems like you'll need even stiffer springs, and shortening them too will make it ride lik...

I have a set of coil spring compressers, if they'll fit this size spring............I'll be happy to bring them along. Dave-- You rock for offering--but I'm not sure I have enough time to install springs on Saturday...and I'm having conflicting thoughts between springs and coilovers. Opinions? Here...

I'll be there to pull my front bumper to take off the tow hitch on it. Any idea what I need to bring? Here's the tool list from the bumper removal project over here (done by John and Brett--thanks again guys!!): set of torx 10 mm socket phillips head screwdriver And this: http://store.webbmotorspor...

How much wrenching is "a bit?" I've got springs to install.

I can't stand all this waiting around. Here is one for ya while we wait for Davester. Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns. Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn. As they speed through the finish, the flags go down. The fans get up and they get out of town. That would be "The D...

Looking for something to do before the November Meet/Drive with Seth? Check out the British Faire! We had fun last year, mostly shopping and even found a few MINI items.
