Hey all I am looking to see if anyone is located in the MHK Kansas area? I have been looking for a shop that is good at working on MINIs and knows what they are doing. I am sick of driving 2.5 hours to get to Baron. Can anyone help?? Thanks

 

Bump bump bump

 

Maybe give Manhattan Motors at 1826 Tuttle Creek a try. They claim to service BMW and MINI.

 

Ill look into them thanks, how did you find that out?

 

You don't want to ask. I googled 'Manhattan KS auto repair shops'.

 

Who da thunk!

 

Haha DAMN makes me feel stupid. I did that but didn't see that one. Anyways I found a friend from a club in town. So I did all the work at his place. LIFESAVER

 

You made me laugh, good on ya. Glad you found a resource.
PS: Buzzy is a good motoring friend and a blossoming judge of fine craft brews.

 

Buzzy, are you a Brewer or just a judge? I am a home Brewer myself. We should talk, my 2 favorite things in life are mInis and craft beer haha.

 

Neither of us brew. My #2 son as done some to wild acclaim. The Buzzmeister and I enjoy visiting a local brew pub when we have either MINI in the shop for service. Far as our co- pilots know, it's 'coffee and donuts'.

 

More like a budding quaffer of any beer that doesn't let light through it.

 

Haha I like you guys style! Beer and MINIs beats coffee and donuts anyday!

 

I live in Clay Center…40 miles from Manhattan….**** Edwards on West Hwy 24. They worked on my "BOO" (2005 MCS 6-speed) when I needed anything done. They changed the power steering pump, leaky expansion tank etc, at a VERY reasonable priced. The parts were ordered from Barron MINI when needed. Hope this helps. Jeffrey

 

OK thanks! Thats good to know, I appreciate the help

 

You guys fancy a get-together sometime to "ooh and ahh" over our minis?

 

'Bout the only time we get to MHK is when Nana says it time to see the grandkids. That operation warrants scant deviation. The So Long Saloon or Coco Bolos are frequent destinations.

 

So long saloon is good stuff! Taco Lucha is where its at though haha!

I know a few different MINI owners in the MHK, and Wamigo area we should gt a ride together soon! or in the spring

 

There was a program on PBS 'Sunflower Journeys' about a classic car tour of The Great White Way. That would make a fun day. We've even discussed taking a shot at it.

There's also a great scenic loop North out of Manhattan we've driven before. Nothing really to do along the way but a nice drive none the less.

 

That sounds interesting, I am always down for a MINI meet and ride let me know when you are considering this!
