Feeler: Install day @ WS Motorcars: UPDATE!

I had some people come up to me and ask about setting up an install day @ WS Motorcars. I have not "oficially" spoken to them, but have brought it up to employees there. It would be on a Sat. ( I am thinking 7/21, day of Tate MINI breakfast) I need to know if there is interest.

If there is, it would be setup in 1 HR blocks and the techs determine how many blocks are needed to install your parts. I would assist them in doing this so than it can go smoothly.

No, I don't.
But hopefully, they would have some access to get it.

I don't know why you care about this yet... shouldn't you get the JCW cylinder head first?

As for me, I might be interested in a rear sway bar install... of course this hinges on my car actually being back from MoS. (I am pretty sure it will be by then!)

As I said at the breakfast, I'm definitely in. I would get my USS installed. Maybe more stuff depending on the pricing.

Well, since my calendar has been CHANGED once again without my knowledge, I guess Jay will have to bring Cecilia down and get her all fixed pretty while I am sleeping.

Before it's decided for sure, any chance the "date" could change to 7/28. I just realized I'll be in California on 7/21.

Nevermind, ignore this post, just realized there is an event on the 28th.

Ok, I spoke with WS and this is a NO GO! We shall see in the future what we can do @ WS Motorcars, but for this particular event it is not going to happen. I am not 100% sure, but I think it is because of the staff change and no one wanting to jump in with both feet at this time.

Please don't let this stop you from getting things done there, I still think they are a good business and will give them my business in the future.
