Re: Cracking and Grinding
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.

Re: Classic Mini Fun Run, Part 2
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...

Re: Classic Mini Fun Run, Part 2
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!

Re: YELLOWSTONE PARK TRIP
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...

Re: 2013 KC Auto Show Observations
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...

Re: MINIs at the Glen
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.

Re: MINIs at the Market 2013?
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.

Re: Outdoor Car Cover

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 ...

Porsche Club Race , Kansas Speedway, June 21-23.
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.

Re: Keeping it on the Road
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?

Re: MITO 2013
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.
