I'm planning on attending. I need to do a throttle body synch and reset the $#%#%# service reminders. (Mine has said 12-13 for about 18 months.)

This is on my radar - is there tire-changing equipment and a big, strong, handsome man to assist? (Hey, I am not above this for a little help! And two out of three is fine!)

I'm practically crawling distance to Hamilton (from Purcellville) so I'd be a fool not to come. Count me in.

Sorry but I have no tire changing equipment, other than a couple of big screw drivers that would probably ding up your rims.

:lol: Thanks for the note Bryant. I may save the tire change for the next tech day, then.

I want to check the synch of the throttle bodies. Will the GS-911 be available? And also a Twinmax? What I have is the old school Mercury manometer, and it's not easily transported. Thanks.

Not sure on either item.

Others chime in if you're coming and bringing either the 911 or Twinmax or equivalent.

I'll be there and will by a TwinMax.

I'm happy to help with any electrical issues or installations.

OK - so only 3 or 4 so plan to attend so far.
If anyone else is planning on attending, let me know so I can have enough food.
Donuts and coffee in the morning and lunch will be served around noon, burgers and such.
Stopping by after the meeting is Ok but it will be hot that day or so the weatherman says.

I might try to swing out after my kid's soccer game - I'll call first though to make sure somebody's still there :)
