Re: November Shop Day - 16th?

Hey Dave and everyone, I think I will be there to help with whatever I can. I'd like to see what thoughts are on our 05 Mini Cabrio stuttering issue. After it has warmed up a bit, then you turn it off and restart, it tends to stutter and will occasionally stall completely. Fuel pump, fuel filter, or...

Re: Banner?

Yes, ragtopday is right. If we want a new banner, a 2.5' x 6' banner is right around $50, full-color. Maybe we could get an extra or make a new design to supplement the one that the club has now. Let me know thoughts, ideas, etc.

Re: What's on the agenda for our next garage day?

I am almost done with Moxie! Hope to have her back on the road again soon. I would be glad to help with whatever I could. If anyone has hitches to install, I have experience (including removing bumpers). Also, Minidave and I just did the crank sensor 0-ring on RagTopDay's MIni.

Re: July Sonic Cruise-In, Thursday July 21st

The July Sonic Cruise-In is moved to the 28th of July at 6pm so it is not too close to MINIs and Miatas. It will be at the North Liberty Sonic, 10101 N.E. COOKINGHAM ROAD, KANSAS CITY, MO 64157. This is the Sonic at 291 and I-35. Let me know who is coming! Thanks and I look forward to seeing you all!

Re: Garage Day, Saturday July 31st 9 a.m.

Hey, MIniDave, do you still have that flywheel puller that I could use on my classic? If you could bring that and perchance have a look at Moxie to see what you think ails her, it would be much appreciated. I have neglected her far too long.

I'll be there. I don't know what the sniveling is all about. Not everyone will be able to attend all gatherings. If you want to plan an event, go right ahead. No one is stopping you. As anyone else rarely steps up, Ragtopday ends up putting things together to keep things moving. I think we should sa...

When you don't have the rack on, the receiver is behind your reverse light and would be working just fine. It just pops out and disconnects when you wan...

MiniDoMore Hitch Install

I recently did the MiniDoMore hitch install on Johnna's cabrio. Here are some pics and short descriptions of what I had to do. It was pretty easy with the instructions from MiniDoMore. It took less than 2 hours start to finish. MiniDoMore instructions: http://minidomore.com/pdf/2002-2006_HT_and_2005...

Re: Was That You....

I saw an exciting "first", an electric blue MCS with Missouri plates that had a matching electric blue top! The only other one I've ever seen besides mine. At first it looked kinda odd, then I realized why - mine has the aero kit paint matched, her's had the standard MCS black trim (well ...
