Not sure about Twisted Minis FB page. That isn't our page.

Twisted Minis of Kansas are Facebook friends with the Kansas City group and we got sent an invite for this drive so I thought it would be fun for us to get together and cruise. I must have been the only one that thought so. I mainly just invited the people around Wichita.

Gotcha!

Looks like there'll be 5 classics on this run!

Let's do a roll call:

Craven, Perry, Styers, Weaver (maybe the R56), who else?

Marc and Brian will be going. Taking the Convertible, Staying at the Comfort Inn. And hoping to remember to bring sunblock this time. Forgot it last time on the Trip to the Wamego Tulip Fest. Yep I burnt.

I haven't heard. I will send him a note.

Roadster, P'up not running yet maybe in two to three weeks.

Did you rebuild the engine or do the transplant?

Transplant but I still have to go get it.

Updated departure information for Saturday:

We are now leaving from Big Daddy's Donuts in Belton, the Bel Ray Blvd location. The website and route sheet have been updated to reflect this. Time stays the same.

All the info is here: http://bit.ly/1KkZTTZ

Oh good, can't start a Mini run without some sugar pills!

We are so excited for this drive! Any idea of a final car total for the drive? It looks to be a very nice turnout. As always, if you mention donuts, the Minis/MINIs will come!

I updated the first post in this thread with the RSVP list. Would you please check it for accuracy? (It's me, not you...) I count 20 cars, 26 humans.

If you are on the list and not going to make it, please let me know. If you aren't on the list and are going, please let me know. If I don't have your +1 or more number right, holler. It's important we let the lunch stops, the donut shops and the car show organizer know how many of us to expect and I need help getting this right. I had a real go of it trying to merge the Facebook RSVPS with the forum.

And you guys, seriously, I had no idea so many of you would be down for this kind of drive. I've talked about doing this drive since I first drove the Kansas portion of Route 66 on the infamous Baron MINI scavenger hunt of 2005. This is gonna be a blast!

Got us correct!

So, with the rain in the forecast, are all the classic drivers still going to take our old cars, or drive our newer ones?

Right now I'm still taking Buzz.....I'll see what the weather guessers say on Friday night and decide then I guess. I'm not eager to take Buzz into heavy rain and T-storms.....tho he's done it before.

I talked with MiniX2 about this and he's committed to taking Moxie but will make a last minute call based on weather updates. I may end up with a passenger and a weekend of marriage enrichment.

Don, John Styers and I have all been talking about it and right now we're taking the classics. The threat of hail would be the only thing that would probably keep them home.

Bad weather could put a real damper on the events in Bolivar on Sat night.

There is a Plan B in place for Saturday night should the weather be a concern. Not a car show but still a fun evening as an alternate.

The organizers of the Bolivar Cruise-In are close friends, so we are in touch and will have info as it becomes available. Not gonna sweat it at this point. Looks like the forecast has clearing in the evening, just hoping that happens in time.

New summer tire #4 finally arrived this morning, begged my way into a service appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I am going to make it! Hooray, first run of the year!

Hey guys,don't forget your rain gear. Unfortunately, I think we're going to need it Are we using 7.21 on the radios?

Speaking of radios, we are bringing our two. They may not be the best, but they do work. If someone needs to borrow our extra let me know.

We will either use 7 or 7.21 depending on what radios folks have. We'll work that out on Saturday morning. I gotta go find my radio now...

Sorry, but a change of plans on my part. Very disappointed to miss this one.

If anyone needs to reach me in the morning or during the trip, my cell is 913.486.0950. (Please make a note of this, I'm not leaving my number here for long...)
