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.

Thanks to Alan for volunteering his MINI to be the oil change car. Still looking for a brake pad Guinea Pig

And LJ has offered up her little silk green beauty to be the brake pad car.

Please keep those RSVP's coming!

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!

Jen · Sep 21st, 2004, 06:23 PM

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.

Jen · Sep 27th, 2004, 11:39 AM

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.

Jen · Sep 27th, 2004, 04:27 PM

Attached are the menu choices we will have for this Saturday. Please take a look. We tried to get something in there for everyone. They are ready for us and looking forward to it!
