Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Debra and I think this may be the best of the big MINI gatherings and recommend it to everyone. It is a beautiful location with good accommodations and some great roads. It is more relaxed than the Dragon or Las Vegas. I do suggest to anyone that goes that they get up early one morning and do the su...

They look great together. :) I was actually surprised how close the two blues were. I think that was one of the last lightning blues available! OK, I know I'm late to the Congratulations party 'cause I've been out of the country and all but let me just say "Awesome!" You definitely need s...

I am finally able to upload some pictures . My computer died Saturday morning and I did not have time to fix it until today. In the delivery bay at Baron. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_uetjlS4gZsM/ShsaoC2-4rI/AAAAAAAACfY/IDMatWBnETI/s400/IMG_9963.jpg Pulled out in the parking lot. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_uetj...

We will be there. 2 or 3 people and probably 1 MINI.

Only one of our dogs likes to ride in the 05 so hopefully with the extra room and the flat floor in the rear the other two will want to go for rides also!

My wife wants a clubbie too. We could join the 2 MINI club! We can dream anyway. We both like driving the MINI so getting another was a simple decision and we have wanted to get a Clubman since they were announced but things just did not work out until now. The only problem we will have now is tryi...

:D :D :D :D It's Pat! I named mine Max, so that's taken......... :wink: But with names like these it could be either, depending on how it's behaving that day! Are you keeping/trading/selling your '05? We're keeping the 05 and trading our 99 Durango. It is a good old SUV but just uses too much gas!

With any luck we will be at the meeting on the 31st, if not we will definitely be at the Minis at the Market! I won't know if it is a him or her till I get to drive it and it lets me know, I think until then I will just call it Pat

I currently have a justaclubman in my driveway as my MCS has some work done to it. It is nightfire red and has some good options. I am very surprised with the difference in HP between this one and my S. I found myself with the accelerater constantly smashed on the floor. It may because it is a club...

Congrats! I just drove mine 2,000 miles in 5 days, and it was terrific. Hope you like yours as much! BTW, I thought you could only get Nightfire red on a Justa Clubman? We were actually looking for a Justa, but the cars they had on the lot had nothing on them and in order to take advantage of their...

If everything works out this will be in my driveway on Saturday :D http://lh6.ggpht.com/_uetjlS4gZsM/ShIO1sZ16qI/AAAAAAAACdo/j2E0nOYhWyc/s800/0504091323.jpg Not a great picture but all I had with me was my cell phone. We decided to take advantage of the MINI financing offer went out looking at what ...

So what is the registration count? I hope this event is as well attended and the last couple have been

We entered

From the discussions I have had with Baron, MINIDAVE is right. If the mod caused the problem then the warranty does not cover it. I had Baron install the JCW strut bar on my 2005 S and the tech at Baron ground down the edge of my ALTA CAI so it would fit, they made no mention of my engine damper whe...

Saw a GP on I-70 exiting to Noland Rd. this morning at about 9:30.

OK, if you refresh that test board link you should see some updates. Thanks to ddmini for pictures! If you refresh the page it should cycle between 5 different top banner images for now. Ideally we can swap in some new ones from time to time and retire old shots to keep things feeling fresh on the ...

I have some pictures here, and here. Some are of national events and some are KC events.

I will be there by myself so I can take a turn on any of the slots or sit with someone if needed.

Here's another question. Why put the bra on anywhere but the leading edge of the bonnet? Anyone got rock chips on their bumper? On their mirror caps? I could also us a primer on fixing the chips before I find someone to put a clear bra just on the paint. . . I have a rock chip on my roof :o It is a...

Davester, Minidave, thanks for the offer. My dad came over and we made it a father/son day. It only took us about 5 hours and that was taking time out for lunch and a couple of test drives. It would have probably taken an hour less if I did it by myself :D Now that I know what I'm doing it will be m...

RSVP'd also

Now they have free shipping Unfortunately my order was delivered Wednesday, which gives me something to do Saturday!

Is there a difference between stock JustaCooper and "S" pads and rotors? If not, I might have a little something for ya. :wink: I have been looking around the various MINI parts vendors and it looks like they use the same front pads for the R50/52/53. Minidave, Davester, thanks for those ...

I had the left mount fail just before the warranty ran out. There was no increase in vibration or any other sign it had failed except for oil in the engine compartment below the mount and oil on the inside of the front wheel. From the way the oil stained and the fact I only saw a few drops on my gar...

This will be the 2nd set on the front, the first were done by Baron under warranty at about 27,000.

The $622 does not include the club discount but does include the sensors.

Davester,

Do the EBC pads have a slot for the sensor?
