Two weeks ago we began the You Can't Beat Our Nielsen Challenge, a month-long series of challenges between myself and 3 of Sporting Kansas City's best. During the challenge, Aristocrat Motors has pledged to donate $1 for every Facebook fan added to the Aristocrat Motors Facebook page.
For those who followed along or watched the YouTube Video, I pretty easily took out CJ Sapong in an intense round of go-karting, where I ended up on top. CJ spun out on the first lap and never caught me.
Tomorrow won't be so easy. I have agreed to take on veteran striker Teal Bunbury in a 5 goal penalty kick shootout at Sporting KC's practice facility. We will each take 5 shots on a practice goalie and all I can do at this point is hope for the best.

Wine, Wings, and Wheels
What goes with private planes and exclusive parties? Why, amazing performance automobile of course. In conjunction with Cessna, we were proud to display some of our best performance automobiles at Wine, Wings, and Wheels, a party at Johnson County Executive Airport.
On display for view was the entire new lineup of Cessna aircraft, as well as several classic automobiles. We brought the new Porsche 911, Maserati GranTurismo, and the Jaguar XJL. However, no hangar party would be complete without the car with wings of its own: The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing.
Guests toured the planes, spoke with aircraft representatives and had the opportunity check out some spectacular cars. We look forward to participating next year!

2012 Art of the Car Concours
Last Sunday we once again had the privilege to sponsor The Art of the Car Concours at The Kansas City Art Institute. Over 200 classics showed up to what has come to be known the greatest classic car show in Kansas City.
Despite temperatures approaching 100 degrees, hundreds of people came out to see these amazing vehicles, which included several Palm Beach Concours D'Elegance winners.
All proceeds to the event benefitted The Kansas City Art Institute and we were happy to provide support.

Land Rover Merriam Off Road Trip
Last week we had the opportunity to take over 40 of our Land Rover owners on a trip to Kansas Rocks Off-Road Park in Ft. Scott, KS. We met at Aristocrat Motors on Saturday at 7:30 am for a hot breakfast provided by Alloy Wheel & Tire Repair, then set off on a beautiful caravan of new and old Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.
Once we arrived at the park it was time for a quick safety meeting and overview, and then it was off to the trails. We took groups of 5-6 vehicles through the different trails negotiating mud ruts, high inclines, rock crawls, and some very steep descents.
We also spectated at Carnage Canyon, an especially technical rock crawling area reserved for the most modified off-road vehicles. A couple of our Land Rover Defender and Discovery owners, who have heavily modified their vehicles for the task, took on the crawl successfully. See more of them at www.YouTube.com/AristocratMotors .
The day was a blast, allowing us to truly experience the capability of Land Rover vehicles. Special thanks to the volunteers at Kansas Rocks Off Road Park , who did a great job guiding us through the course.
