Wow! Neat stuff! Do you know if Mr. Behe also does work on pulleys, exhausts, etc? Does Glenelg have a Web site?

Nifty idea, I'm not sure if I can come yet, but it sounds interesting.

This needs a bump. We've got about 15 owners coming out so far. Sounds like this is going to be a great day and possibily a new monthly event. Check it out!

We're up to a good 28 MINIs coming out for this event and we can take an unlimited number. Lunch has been finalized and DCMM board members- there will be a board meeting following Tech Day. Business will either take place during luncheon or immediately afterwards.

Folks, we're now closing in on 40 MINIs attending this event. The Lucerna Grill would like to limit the menu choices for us a little bit so that service will be quick - I will get the meny posted in the next 48 hours. It will still be choice of a wide range of items and pay on your own. They can do separate checks.
