Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Who decides when things become official Club meets? Is this reserved to those that are more "senior"? Grassroots can only take you so far. who is involved in the planning process for club events? A Grassroot event is not percieved as something thought out or even remotely planned, if im g...

Great pics!!

We will be leaving early afternoon on Thursday. The girls have school and my fellow Miniac will be here from KY trying to get the classic running good at altitude. We will be bringing two MINI - either a Mini or a Minivan :). I look forward to seeing everyone there. I will bring my computer with ple...

Three more posts until I hit 600!!


Two more after this one

This is the best thing I have seen all day! :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjJ-Qe73boQ That was AAAWWWWEEESSOOOMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! This sounds kind of corny, but that was my unofficial theme song when I was in Iraq. Before some of our more 'unpredictable' missions, I would listen to that s...

He answered one of my PMs.......I must be special

I just received my registration in the mail, but I don't think that I will be able to attend.

To me they were priceless and as a small boy it was my way of staying in touch with him after he was gone, they were a symbol of his achievements. We also always have an American Flag flying in front of our house. I know my wife does not always understand why it is so important to me but when she d...

Very nice!!

Got any pics in your duds with the Mini?

Nope. I do have plenty of pics from my tour in Iraq. I posted a bunch on here

Wasnt there some sort of gas crisis in Europe? I'm nearly done with my BA in History, so I hope I'm finally going to get back some of that money I've paid out. If I am dead wrong, well, then I'm going back for a refund in the morning. There was a gas crisis, but the question is what caused it. Ther...

As long as there are terrorists in the world, I will always have a job :) Saw your profile, what do you do or would you have to kill us if you told us :P :D I have done quite a bit during my 17 years of service. I am an Infantry Major serving at Ft. Carson. My job is the Battalion S3 (training offi...

No thread jacking here! At least I don't mind. I agree with you, I didn't buy my classic for the gas mileage either. With gas prices these days, its obviously one of the first things that people ask me though. I will be at Sonic on thursday night with my mini, so obviously anyone is invited to take...

I need to know more about the classic Mini's. Weren't these just made in the 60's? Is there a site where I can read about it's history or show me pics of the model years? What to expect to pay or how to estimate the worth of a model for sale? The Mini's were made in this body style (excpet for a co...

My Mini is putting down 70HP at the wheels!! Yeah baby. Ok, that baby has to be pretty quick. Do you have a thread going somewhere of all the stuff you've done to it? If not, you need one. I'd like to know what kind of cool stuff these things can take on. No, but I will later on. There is quite a l...

My Mini is putting down 70HP at the wheels!! Yeah baby.

I believe the story behind this claim is that they didn't DYNO the MINI prior to installing the exhaust. They were comparing their DYNO with the factory numbers. As for exhausts, I think they are all over rated and over priced. I am going with the exhaust from Minispeed (aka Mymini). It is cheaper, ...

This is what you want. I also order all of my stuff from GB car parts.

That classic looks like it could use some 13" wheels :). I have some for sale :wink: Seth, I actually saw that in the buy/sell section, but you mentioned I would have to cut the fender up and add some arches, and I'm not entirely sure I am ready to do all that. I am competent when it comes to ...

The good news is that brakes are relatively easy to do. I am no mechanic and I just put on EBC green stuff pads. It literally took me longer to get the car up off the ground than it did to change out the pads. Are you coming out to MITM?? I know there is a group of folks from KC enroute. Good luck w...

Very nice Mini indeed!! Fortunately, you have several Mini owners located in KC area and they are all on this board.

That classic looks like it could use some 13" wheels . I have some for sale

WELCOME!!

That is what my wife said - LOL - too funny.
