Re: Fast Fridays at KC Trends, Friday July 26th

The event has grown tremendously since it's inception....maybe more than KC Trends imagined. That has undoubtedly lead to the spreading around other lot's, etc.

This is the closest thing Kansas City has to a Car's & Coffee, unfortunately.

Re: Fast Fridays at KC Trends, Friday July 26th

Johnna, I'd be happy to share my wisdom and experience to whoever. I've gone to many of these over the years and the cars range from Lambo's, Ferrari's, Masseratti's, to Honda Civics.

Re: Anyone familiar with this MINI?

I am acquainted with Babylon Motors. They seem to specialize in rather higher mileage cars and the prices always seem to be below Market. They do offer a Carfax which may indicate they are not salvage or flood titles.

Re: 4th of July Parkville Parade

Re. candy throwing, I have been in parades that allowed candy throwing and it is scary as hell seeing kids run into the street, in front of your car even, to get to it. Kids will be kids and sometimes, even, adults will be kids as well. Fortunately, the parade has banned candy throwing as well. Beli...

Congrats on the great turnout! Hopefully, everyone survived the heat OK. The times I was out yesterday had me thinking how quickly I could get back inside.

Re: MINI on Two

Craig has had a few MINIs and he is nationally ranked I think. Anyhow, I thought the picture was quite impressive plus the fact the photographer took the shot at the precise moment.

Don't know if you saw this but it's from last Sunday's autocross. Yes, the driver kept the shiny side up!

Re: Micro Mini Car Show 2013?

Thanks Greg! I'll confirm with them it's 2013. I'll be coming home from Branson that day so I can probably spend some time there.

Dave, they sure could use some better promotion, that's for sure.

Micro Mini Car Show 2013?

I tried Googling this but no luck. Has anyone seen any dates for the annual Micro Mini Car Show that's held at the Fairway, KS. City Hall? It's typically about this time of year.

This is one of my favorite events. Some of these cars make your MINIs look like barges!! :)
