Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

I'm cross-posting since this is really a Grassroots Gathering but it seems to fit over here in the Foodie thread, too. :) Would anyone like to join us for breakfast on Valentine's Day?

Would anyone like to join us for breakfast on Valentine's Day? Here's the scoop: WHERE: Hyatt Regency Crown Center WHEN: Thursday, February 14th, 2008 TIME: 6:00 am to 9:00 am COST: $14.00 per person It's a buffet with just about everything you can imagine made with chocolate and some non-chocolate...

should i start a thread for non car involved fun stuff? brett and I go to a lot of concerts and music events, and we're usually the only ones we know there (except for when i drag johnna to lawrence with me on a school night). usually an amusing evening involving a drink or two and some great music...

On Monday and Tuesday, I spotted an Oxygen Blue MC and I think it was the same one both times. It's the first Oxygen Blue I've seen out on the road. On Monday, somewhere along I-35 South near Lamar about 5 P.M. and on Tuesday night, around 7 P.M. in the downtown loop. You exited around Broadway....i...

BTW - BB's needs your business for a little while, at least until 85th reopens at Troost. Best buffalo wings in town. (imho)

Would you be interested in planning the April meet, ending at BB's for lunch or afternoon snacks? Is there a fun drive we could do in that area?

Napoleon’s is closed!!!! :cry: When did this happen? Sometime in August. :( I wonder why good bakeries in KC are few and far between? I think Napoleon was in the Westport location for at least 15 years and always busy when I visited. I'll continue taking my sweet tooth to McLain's and Andre's but i...

Have you tried McGonigle's? www.mcgonigles.com, locally on 79th just East of Ward Pkwy.

Johnna, You're not looking at spring thing 13 are you? I talked to my mini friend who lives in Steeleville, MO, just 15 miles from the Rally America event, but he's not attending because he's going to do a roadtrip to Orlando (same weekend) to attend ST 13. He needs a co-pilot... I'm tempted, but I...

Yep! Your turn...

Here's one for y'all...

Andie, hon. Listen, it's after 7:00. Don't waste good lip gloss.

Well I may be an outlaw, darlin', but you're the one stealing my heart.

If y'all are still there on the 23rd, we will join you!! We don't get to stay that long, although I'd like to...the weather in KC doesn't seem too appealing at the moment. I did warn the fine folks at my favorite tiki bar that you'd be coming and took the liberty of making a reservation for one of ...

Thanks for the earworm, dimini! That mention of Istanbul put a They Might Be Giants song in my head: Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks I should visit the...

Hey Bentley! I'll join you, +1. I hear it's 74 in that area and the sunsets are really pretty. Gotta tiki bar in mind?

Johnna

We're not able to go (another "opportunity" awaits...) so we have a one-night hotel room up for grabs in Licking. It's their fancy whirlpool suite for $75 plus tax. If anyone is interested, please let me know by Tuesday.

Spotted a PH/B MCS going North on Antioch around 108th street tonight at 5.

Somewhere around 4:45 saw a Silver MC with MNI SKRT plates on 435. I'd say which direction on 435 but it was in that area where I'm not sure if I'm going South or West.

Umm...I linked to that website in the first post in this thread. Did it not work for you? Does it need some fixin'?

OMG! Salem, MO is just of Mo 19 (AKA ozarks own dragon). That is precisely the area I've been telling y'all about as a possible route for club road trip. So let's do it! That's exactly why we have the GRG area of the forum, since there just aren't enough months in the year for everything we'd all l...

Max's AutoDiner is now a greek place, good gyros as well as the traditional fab tenderloins. :) DD We had lunch at Max's today. Their Greek offerings were Gyros and Baklava. It was just okay, not bad, but not as flavorful as Mr. Gyros. The Baklava was the frozen variety, which is still good in my b...

Is anyone interested in going to Salem for the 100 Acre Wood Rally? It's Friday, February 22nd and Saturday, February 23rd. http://rally-america.com/index.php http://www.100aw.org/index.html We're heading out early Friday morning and would like to get together with others headed that way. We didn't ...

Laurie wrote: You gotta try a gyro! It is gyro meat on a pita with onions and tomato. The sauce they give you is the yummiest!

That yummy sauce was what I was talking about buying at the Mediterranean Market--Tzatziki. I'd be happy with just the sauce and a pita.

Do Mama and Papa work at this location as well? They seem to always be at the 82nd location when we are there. I don't know...I tend to go there at closing time on Tuesdays so it's a skeleton crew by then, but always as yummy as the Metcalf location. I had no idea it used to be across the street! W...

Max's AutoDiner is now a greek place, good gyros as well as the traditional fab tenderloins. :) DD Is that the one near Tasso's? The one on Wornall? Must check it out... I'd love to get you started on Tasso's--I want the scoop! I'm always open to going elsewhere, especially if they have spanakopita...

There's another location at 135th and Antioch. Yummy! Tasso's is still my favorite but Mr. Gyro works for a Greek fix.

Go ahead, Em, post one up. I think you got about as close as anyone is going to. The song is Shut Up and Drive.
