The Cure, Friday I'm in Love??

Thanks, Laurie, for keeping this topic rolling!!

I'm hoping to have details on available dates for a detailing clinic with a pro...hopefully we'll know something early this week. If no one is opposed and there is an April date available, perhaps this could become our April meet??

If you need something quick/local, you might try Back to Black. I used it with good results when I had unpainted wheel arches. I also used peanut butter (or even better, the oil that separates onto the top) on a Q-tip to get nasty white wax marks off. Now I've switched to a wax that doesn't leave th...

Detailing clinic? What would that entail? (Asks the girl who hasn't washed her Mini in the last couple weeks. :oops: ) It could entail instruction on the areas that interest you most...whether that be proper upholstery care & cleaning, how to keep black trim black, where to start when you car n...

Would anyone be interested in a detailing clinic at an auto detail shop? I have a contact for a shop in Merriam (one that specializes in high-end rides) and could see what dates are available as well as cost if there is interest.

To take this thread a little further from the original topic, here's a book recommendation for those of you sharing the joys of driving long distances on the interstate system: Cross Country by Robert Sullivan. http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Country-Fifteen-Interstates-elephant/dp/1596911379/ref=pd_bbs...

Club Kitty update: Collected $97.00 today, bringing our total to $100.49. THANK YOU to all those that contributed. :D :D :D Marlow Main WOW! :shock: It's nice to know we have a cushion now for club expenses! Thanks to everyone that contributed and big thanks, Marlow Main, for maintaining the Club K...

$38.51 was sent to you to re-register both domain names, kcminiclub.com and kcminiacs.org. Is that not the correct amount?

I saw the prettiest hunk of Chocolate steel today...with beautiful upholstery. Yum! And to think I was a naysayer about brown cars!

No immediate need that I am aware of...anyone else?

This thread is the spot for amount of funds available, amount of funds collected, what funds were spent on, etc... As of January 1st, 2008, Unofficial Club funds were at $0.00. Remaining funds from the Official Club were spent to purchase spotter cards and reimburse Todd for materials to make club d...

Good to hear! Several have also attempted to drive interest in autocrossing as an additional venue to get these cars out to do what they're made to do :D http://forums.kcminiclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=1066&highlight= I know there is interest among club members to learn more about autocrossing. Wo...

Of course you can! I know this tune, it was from a one hit wonder, it's running thru my head now while I look for the song title in the lyrics..........wait for it.......... Rock On! David Essex, had to warm up the way back machine for a minute on that one! That is WAY back in the machine. It's a B...

Ding, ding, ding! Your turn! Can I answer the other outstanding one and post a new one at the same time? :lol: I think Dave's is another REM tune, STAND. Here's another, kinda similar but kinda not... Hey kids rock and roll, **** ** And where do we go from here Which is the way that's clear And bon...

What if I ride? What if you walk?

R.E.M.'s Drive, right?

Spotted a CR MC with boot stripes (maybe bonnet, too...I was behind it and couldn't tell) at 75th and Metcalf, 5 PMish. I think the plate was GUTARST and there was an Italian Job sticker on the right rear window. Another large sticker on the boot might have been a silhouette of Elvis?

I thought so, too...but taste free would have been welcome! The chocolate fat free pudding cups had this nasty taste that was like diet soda, mold, sour cream and chocolate syrup mixed together. And to top it off, it was the kind of taste that lingers. Ick.

Last night spotted a MC, silver, headed East on 135th near Pflumm with Ontario plates. I didn't try to wave since I was driving the Box. :) I hear ya on the wave, sliboa. I waved at someone in Liberty last week (we were in the same parking lot) and she gave me the most incredulous look, followed by ...

That's gorgeous! And just when I thought I was done with mods...

I had been looking at a Continental kit for the back but this is waaaaay over the top!

And just to keep this totally off topic, fat free pudding cups suck.

We'll be there, in the MINI. I may need to leave earlier to be there on the official first day (I have a bit of work to do there) but we plan to stay beyond MOTD for some safer sightseeing. So we're in....two people, one MINI and one MiniMutt. :lol: For anyone looking for info, check out www.minison...

Has anyone tried La Fonda El Taquito on SW Blvd.?

I like the popsicle store (Palleteria (sp?) Tropicana) down the block but haven't eaten at La Fonda yet. I'm still searching for Mexican food on the Blvd. that I like.

Em is right, sweats or PJs are fine. In past years, we've seen everything from jeans and Ts to folks headed to work in suits. It's an "anything goes" environment. And you don't have to come right at 6--anytime between 6 and 9 works.
