September 12, 2009 Meeting

There was interest in a Tech Day.

What does everyone think about having it for the Sept. meeting?

We could meet at Panera and then all head to our house for "tech" day.

Does anyone need a oil change? (you supply items and Mark does the work)

Brakes?

Mods installed?

Let Mark or I know.

That sounds like it could be fun. I don't have anything that needs to be installed at the moment, but I'm more than willing to help wrench on some MINIs. I could use a hand diagnosing a noise that Tina's MINI makes, though...

I could make that!

What time do I need to be over there?
and what is the skinny on the traffic pattern? I avoid Mayfield Rd. like the plague while at school so what's the update on all the construction?
If I get off at mayfield (from the west off of 271N from 480E- if that is even possible) where from there?

The new meeting place (Panera) is on Willson Mills so you don't have to get in that Mayfield mess at all. Get off of 271 at Willson Mills & turn west. The Paneras is on the corner of Alph Dr. First light I think, turn right there.

We will plan on leaving Panera around 10am and heading to our house. If no one needs anything at this time. We will cover brake jobs. He can pull all my stuff off and reinstall it.

If someone needs something please speak up.

We will plan food for after the work is done. We will have Cornhole as well. Please plan on spending the afternoon hanging out and working out.

Bring Tina's Mini (and Tina if she is not working) and we can try to determine what the noise is. If we don't know we will make it up.

Chuck is correct you do not have to go on Mayfield. Very excited that you can make it.

Hey all

I will be there.

I installed a DDM cold air intake so if anyone is interested, I can tell them how easy it was to install.

OK to bring the boys?

What food should I bring? I froze up allot of hot dog and hamburg buns from the rally if you can use them.


Thanks

Unfortunately I have to work from 8-noon on Saturday, and then I have to model for a fashion show (fat chicks represent ), so I won't be able to make it.

Sorry I missed it, the turn out at Panera's was really good.

Did you get the warning light to turn off for blackeyedsuzie?

Today was a blast! Loved everything about it! It started off a bit rough for me... as Mrs. Wellsy can atest, but it all worked out thanks to Mark!

Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Wells and Family for having us all day, feeding us a hefty lunch, and for all your hard work!

Met some super great people today! I really enjoyed learning how to do my own oil change. Can anyone tell me why I was so nervous about doing it myself? It's stupid easy! Okay... Little messy, But I love working on cars and getting dirt under my nails

Daisy, Timmer, GoKartt... So great to spend the day with you all!

Sorry I will miss the next few meetings from the looks of my schedule but I will make them when I can!

Oh Let's not forget to mention RediGo!.... Another fantastic couple in the MINI family!.... Welcome ! Keith, I will definitely be looking forward to talking more about mission opportunities with my new nursing license... Only 35 more weeks to go!

I had a good time at the meeting yesterday.

Mark & Rebecca - Thanks for having us over!

Frank - thanks for the door handles!

Mark - Thanks for your the help diagnosing the trouble in Tina's car and installing the door handles (and for letting me drive your car). Tackling this control-arm bushing job should be fun when we get to it.
