Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

I plan on attending, working on three others to join from the St. Mary's area.

Last year I participated in the Mini USA gift exchange where I was randomly paired with another Mini owner in the States. I was curious if anyone in the club would be interested in doing something like that. Maybe at the Toys For Tots gathering we could draw names or have names drawn before that and...

I had mine replaced on my 2009 at Baron, it was around $530 or so. Now I am having to replace the o-ring on the high pressure fuel pump.

Jack Burton have you paid you dues? "yes sir the........

Just got registered. The wife and I along with Lord Boddington will be attending. I will not be able to be at the meet up location in time unless I can leave work early. I do not get off until 0700 Sunday morning and I have a 90 mile drive.

I went to my local tire place and they came within $15 of tire rack, including mounting and balancing. I went with the firestones, this store has had good luck with them. I went with an all season tire, this one is supposed to have stiff sidewalls, good to have when driving a mini to its' potential.

I am trying to decide on some new tires. I am still using the stock 16' wheels. I am currently running the Yokohama Avid Envigor. I am considering Firestone Firehawk wide oval or Michelin Pilot sport. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

All three eh? I am still waiting on a child to bail on me! LOL

I did not give them a choice. If I don't force them out of the house every once in a while, the whole day will be wasted in front of the computer or on netflix.

Count me in along with my three sons.

I just got registered online. I will be there bright and early for the weekly garage sale. It usually gets going at 0700 every Sunday morning. Hopefully the construction around the market will have slowed down by then. Lots of big steel plates and barriers to navigate through because of the light ra...

If you guys are wrapping it all up by 4, I will just be getting off work then. I will have to wait for another day.

I plan on attending tonight with the crew, give the Mrs. a night off.

Another wrench in the gears. I was looking at my mini today and noticed the molding around the roof is popping off in two places and the trim that wraps around the rear above the taillight is coming off as well. Back to the shop it goes. I would come over to the garage day but I work until 4. I will...

After dropping off my mini on June 11, I finally get it back on July 11. I went to pick it up a few days prior because they said it was done, but they seem to have forgotten to put the stripes back onto the hood..I am going to let the paint cure a bit longer and then I will try and get the roof rack...

I am not due for any repairs, but I would like to help and learn some things. I work until 4 on Saturdays, but should be free after that. We'll be done or close to it by 4 pm......just FYI Anyone who needs directions to my house, please PM me. How early in the morning will you start? How far are yo...

Mini still not done, looks like next week now. Still waiting on some parts....

I got the call yesterday, my car should be done today. If it is, count me in.

I would be interested in coming. I don't get off work until 6 pm, I would be driving from the north end of downtown KC. I would imagine traffic would be a bit congested at that time.

I also bought the bike rails from rockymounts out of Colorado. They are supposed to fit the factory racks.

I just got a call yesterday saying the roof came in. It will be cutting it close as to if it gets completed before the 4th.

Has anyone ever installed the factory roof rack? I have installed aftermarket ones before, but this one seems a bit more involved.

I really want to attend. Depends on if my mini is out of the body shop by then. I have been without my car since June 11. Waiting on new roof and hood to come in.

Hi everyone, I am also new to the group and mini ownership. After it gets out of the body shop for some hail damage I received while driving in the Black Hills I am going to install one of the factory mini roof racks. Has anyone had much experience in installing on of these? I am also looking forwar...

I just got back from the black hills. It was some great driving, especially through Custer Park and the Iron highway. I had a blast, except for a freak hail storm that turned my mini into a golf ball. Will be getting estimates on that next week.
