Agreed! Try finding a place to park when you are scheduled to work at the Legends on a Saturday evening that also happens to be a game day.

I had briefly considered reaching in the van and tossing the keys behind the shopping carts but decided against it. I've done this before to people leaving their keys (and kids) in the car with a decent record. The old gas station by Shawnee Mission Medical Center a couple times alone. Several cuss...

September's club event will be at Harvester's. We'll help at their warehouse in memory of Glenn O'Gorman. :) This is a Mini Motoring Hearts activity, if you register to volunteer at Harvester's at www.minimotoringhearts.com, a grille badge will be mailed to you. Dori (Marlow_Main) is coordinating Se...

Thanks--that helps me to know what to put on the postcards.

David--How long are you thinking of leaving ticket sales open? I'm taking new postcards to Baron shortly and was wondering how to best list the game? Maybe a "buy your own ticket" kind of thing or ???

Deborah Hopkins with the Heartland Miata club has extended an invitation to us for their annual picnic: Sunday, August 23rd, noon, The Heartland Miata Club cordially invites you, The Mini's to our annual picnic @ Wyandotte Lake Park, Shelter house #12: It's a really nice location and our club is pay...

Did you call the police? This is blatant animal cruelty. I have called the police for similar situations before--once in OP and once in Leawood. Both times I was told they would check on it, but it was a very low priority. Going inside the store and having the car owner paged was my option. I'm hop...

Why do people leave their dogs in the car to go grocery shopping when it's 90 degrees out?!? :shock: The OBC in the MINI said it was 93 this afternoon when I was at Whole Foods. I parked near a BMW X5 with a beautiful Irish Setter (lots o'hair) panting and struggling to breathe thru the 1" open...

It's a no-go for me on either of those dates. Y'all have fun though--I love going to the T-Bones and think it'll be a really fun gathering!!

One vote for the 29th please.

Sounds like fun to me! Thanks for putting this together!

The Z club has once again extend an invite for us to join in their fun! Here are the details from Dan: This is short notice. The July Zocial will be held next Saturday, July 19 at one of our favorite places-Tanner's at 143rd & Metcalf. This month, we're putting a different twist on things. From ...

Peanut butter... I'll have to remember that one. I used the oil that floats on top of the all natural PB when I had the stock black trim. It works well with a q-tip or the fancy little foam things that are like q-tips only...well, foamy. Those come from Griot's Garage or you can buy them at Complet...

I'm very leary of doing anything with the CVT, even a fluid change. I think for that reason alone, I'll take it to Baron. While I have had no problems, the CVT has a bad reputation. It's probably a good idea to have them do it this time and start reading up before next time. I should have been a lit...

Anyone else up for the trip? Looks like we're going!

hctiev wrote:I thought service was included during the warranty period. ???

I'm out of warranty in both years and miles. I think they said Inspection 2 is around 60,000 miles but is performance based or something like that. I'm beyond 60,000 and am not quite to the "0" point but will be soon.

I like kabootist's idea of editing the list for what I've already done or can do and then seeing what that leaves me with. The list is pretty extensive and includes transmission fluid change for the CVT transmission so I probably better take it in.

My little blinky number in the dash is getting low (400-ish) so I called the dealer to find out what I'm due for, since I just had the oil changed in April. Seems it's time for Inspection 2, which is $650. Anyone got any thoughts on the value of this service? Among the things mentioned to me were th...

Laurie wrote:Cool beans!

Dave, you might want to put the meeting spot and info up on the first post so it is easily found. Also, I think Stephanie mentioned she is out now so you can take her name off the list.

I've also updated the info on the calendar in case anyone looks there for details.

I was going west on 152 this evening and saw a white xB (storm trooper lookin' thing!). Was that you?

Looks great! Thank you for designing the flyer and thanks to Minidave for getting them to Baron. I think they are a great addition to the postcards!

or check the calendar. Hope to see you there. :D :D :D 8) So, about the calendar. It shows noting for me, I signed up and am logged in and still nothing. Am I missing something here? :) Nope, not missing anything. It's not functional yet. The original calendar still works at http://www.localendar.c...

Happy 4th of July, y'all!

Liberty has a nice Fourth Fest at the Fountain Bluffs Sports Complex with a couple of bands and fireworks. I heard some of the Miniacs, sans MINIs, will be there.

I'm headed south instead of joining the Northlanders. Y'all have fun!
