Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

I had a RWD car and made similar noises. The wheel bearings needed to be re-packed/replaced. Would that be applicable here?

That looks like a GREAT event. Hermann is one of my favorite towns and I love the drive there.

I caught that as well but really took a liking to "hooning". Be careful down there Dave. I recently worked a hardware show in Branson and came home looking like this after only 2 days. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w48/mcconned_bucket/McGregor/2011-09-03064406_zpsbbdf5f40.jpg http://i...

I'm looking forward to following this.

BTW, thanks for adding the word hoon and hooning to my vocabulary. I've used it several times already!

I'm not sure how much time you have but if you,ve never been to the Black Hills in South Dakota, I encourage you to return that way. I was up there this past fall and was VERY impressed. I stayed in the Spearfish vicinity abd it was an easy drive to Deadwood, Sturgis, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Mt. R...

Dave, was the Detroit Electric in "original un-restored" condition? I'd be willing to bet that belongs to Marshall Miller, the creator od Art of the Car Concours. It has the original, 100+ year old battery. There has been a Tesla in Kansas City for a year or so. Marshall tried to get the o...

Stop it Dave. You're killing me. Now I'm dieing to go!!

Maybe, when I'm living in a perfect world, I can take a several week cruise into the Northeast.

Although I haven't actually seen or been to the track, I was in Watkins Glen the weekend of the NASCAR race. It is a beautiful part of New York and would make a great vacation trip in addition to the wineries in the Finger Lake region.

I know you'll enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry-ofJHa ... e=youtu.be

I just did. Would is, as Paul Harvey would say, "....the rest of the story."?

BTW, Dave. I didn't realize Americans could travel to Cuba.

Sounds like a great time!!

Greg, the Z Club just booked Sep 29th.

Yes, June 23rd was on the schedule we received.

June 23rd is the Art of the Car Concours which may or may not be a consideration.

June 9th has been taken.

September 29th has been booked by the Heart of America Z Car Club. The past few years we have done it in late July and suffered brain damage from the heat.

+1 to what Dave and Greg said. When I had my driveway replaced it was suggested I cover my car in my garage due to all the dust, etc. from the work geing done. I found one at Walmart for under $25.00 and it was a 2 person operation to put on. maybe with practice and repitition you may be able to do ...

I love reading stories like this. I may swing through there my next trip to Hays.

Re varying levels of ethanol.....the Kansas City paper did an "expose" some time back and they also discussed the variation. What the refineries do is they fill the truck tanks with gas then add the ethanol.(Maybe vice versa.) As the truck is driving to it's deliveries, theoretically, the ...

I just read where the Porsche Club is holding a club race at the new 2.37 mile road course at Kansas Speedway. The dates will be June 21-23.

It's my understanding this is closed to non-Porsche Club members but I'm confident spectators are welcome.

I'll pass along more info as it comes.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one of my favorite car clubs in Kansas City! You folks are a very special group!

Amazing stuff Dave. Was this a "normal" maintenance or were there multiple issues?

How about a wheel alignment? Were you able to do that as well?

I'm not 100% certain this is legit but since they are using MINIs I thought I'd share.

Saturday's roster is full. Sunday has 10 openings left.

PLEASE, contact Rich and pre-register. If you just show up there may not be room for you.

Sunday's Rally is rain or shine!

Maybe that's where I first heard about it. I'd think hitting that then going over to the Powell Observatory to do some star gazing would be a fun outing.

I looked up Turpentine Creek on line. It looks impressive.

BTW, there is also a big cat sanctuary by Louisburg. I haven't had the chance to visit it yet but it's on my bucket list.
