BB isn't going to make it. :( Just found out today that the one of the front wheel cylinders went out and is leaking brake fluid. :( I won't be able to get the parts on her in time to make it to the parade. :( Sorry.

I will turn our entry form in on Tuesday the 30th, but we can always squeeze in a few last minute entries.

Start cleaning and decorating your MINIs/Minis and practicing your parade wave :wave: , we are registered!

For those of you that will be navigating by GPS to get to Parkville, here is the address of Chuck's Parkville Garage which is right next to the 63rd street entrance that can be used as a reference point to get you there.
6300 NW Bell Rd, Parkville, MO

I will be sending out a post mail to those of you that do not already have my cell phone number, just in case you need it.
Thanks and see on the 4th!!!

Did we need to register as individuals for the parade or was the group registered? I plan on being there. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do to participate.

We are registered as a group, so all you need to do is shine up your MINI and show up.
See you on Saturday.

Yes, Yes and Yes. The parade starts at 10:00 and we can start lining up at 9:00 am. That will allow time for any last minute detail and some
chatting. I just finished washing the Baron MINIs ( a nice little black Cooper Cabrio and a Sparkling Silver Clubman S) to get them ready for tomorrow.
Cousteau is next. :D

See ya tomorrow :D

Thanks to everyone that came out this morning to be in the parade! The MINIs all looks great and were a huge hit. Although the rain kept a lot of watchers away, it was still a fun morning, so thank you again! (Our pictures have been loaded to Photobucket)

A big Thanks to Baron, for the bottled water and loan of the Clubman and the Cabrio. Baron does a lot to support our club, and I (we all) really appreciate it !!!

Thanks again!!! See ya all next 4th of July!
