Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

As I know it all stock left over when they close will be transferred to Northland and Molle VW so not sure on the deals. They were running 0% financing on GTI though. If that had been around when I was buying I would be in one instead of my MINI. :) Not that I don't like my car, but I drove both and...

Last weekend: Town Center, Dark Silver Cooper S w/ checkered rearview & side mirror covers. Tuesday: Gardner, Dark Silver R53 JCW on main. Forget the custom tag. Older guy driving. Yesterday: Gardner, blue Cooper S. Blonde gal driving; she honked and waved. And a bunch o' others I am forgetting.

Well as some of you know we had ordered my wife a red Cooper. As it turns out, we are going to pass on the car. Only reason...so we can get her an S next year!

After driving our S for a week while I was out of town she decided the Just-a-Cooper wasn't going to cut it in the long haul.

BTW - the car currently on the dealer floor has OZ Ultraleggera black wheels with performance Continental tires I retract my statement then, these are good wheels. Again, not super-light forged, but these are some of the best cast wheels you can buy and aren't stupid expensive. Good call on whoever...

I love the MINI, don't get me wrong. But you could build a BMW 135i hardtop for that price. Also, that 38k price tag MINI has (based on the wheel comment) ~$3000 worth of worthless wheels. The 18" black JCW wheels are such a huge ripoff its not funny. Really? Three grand for heavy non-forged wh...

Somebody posted on another local car site today (as an ex-employee of Baron) that Baron VW is getting sold back to VWoA and will no longer be carried at the location. They are moving MINI into the current VW building exclusively. This is all apparently to free up some shop space since the great warr...

Stock bottom-end + factory forced induction + nitrous seems like a bad, bad idea. Just sayin'

I fail to see either Oklahoma Joe's or Famous Dave's on this list. Just sayin'

Nope, none at all on either my work laptop or the PC here in the training center in Colorado.

Well, you have to be having a better time than we are here with our rain and humidity - enjoy it while you can! My rental car is a Chevy HHR. It is perhaps the worst "new" car I have ever driven. I am comparing this to my Toyota Yaris which isn't anything special either, but feels like a ...

Odd, I'm in Colorado Springs all this week for some training.

It could be a case of over-hype as well. Very, very common. Such as 25hp intakes and whatnot.

Thanks to the Z club for the invite. Jess and I had a great time even if we didn't get a chance to look through the large telescope!

I hope we can still make it. Pretty sure I'm coming down sick though. Could just be lack of sleep + too much time in a theater, we will see tomorrow.

FYI: I saw Dark Knight twice tonight (one iMax, one regular), its well worth your money.

OK, we should be there for the 11am one. Where at Baron exactly? The parking area by the Mini's I assume....

I am out of town on the 1st but otherwise we should be free any of those other dates.

Explain this "K5 Run".

So are we doing anything this weekend prior to meeting at Tanners?

I saw you wave and waved back but you may have missed it. I was doing 70 and before I knew it you were wayyyy ahead of me.

You drive to Lawrence from Lees Summit?!

SPR SIZ (speed_racer?) passed me this morning on the way to work. I suspect she was either late, or indeed speed racer since that was the last I saw of the MINI outside of a little blue dot getting farther and farther away...

Sadly most of my sites have been taken down to a variety of things (unneeded, unused, etc.). But here are a few: http://www.randomhit.org/ This is a forum I setup for local miniature wargaming using phpBB 3.0 Theme is modified, I did not build it from scrath. http://www.tearsofdraenor.net/forums/ Fo...

I am down for burning gas, just give me a date. If we did it this weekend we would ideally end at Tanners for the Z club invitation. Otherwise the 1st is out for me but we are free most any other day.

Yea, Jess and I had a great time. Nice meeting everybody. Also, FYI: if its that humid out + lowish temp, then be prepared for some massive fogging of the windshield. We ended up having to sit ON the seats and look over the windshield to see past about 50% of the movie. So much for the comfort of th...

Red Cooper S, blackish wheels, some grille badges today at Frontage Rd. and 75th St in OP? Anybody?

What time?

6:30, 6:45?

I say 6:30 just in case somebody is running late or whatnot we won't be pressed for time.
