MECHANICAL INSPECTION DAY - SATURDAY 6 JULY 2013 - INTEREST AND ROLL CALL

UNIQUE CLUB ACTIVITY - MECHANICAL INSPECTION DAY
 
As a benefit to Club members our two top notch Technical Directors (Scope and Dennis TM) have offered to host a free Mechanical Inspection Day at Scope's professionally equipped workshop. Although the intention was to hold this in late June the date has now been changed slightly, so we will be holding this event on Saturday the 9th of July 2013. Unfortunately we can't do this on a Sunday.
 
This event is not on the Run Calendar for 2013 but has been added as a bonus for members who would like to find out what the mechanical condition of their car is, and what our technical directors recommend can be done to fix any problems uncovered. The day will also provide an opportunity to discuss personally with Scope and Dennis TM any ideas Club members might have on how to improve their cars, and get some idea of what work might cost.
 
We will start the day with a short Run out west of Brisbane to Scope's location, leaving the rendezvous (RV) at 9.00am and arriving at Scope's at about 9.20am. Scope and the Club will provide BBQ facilities and salads but its BYO meat, drinks, eating utensils, and chairs. If you can't make the RV and still want to come then let us know, but there will be a waiting list when you arrive late.
 
This type of activity is something only a Club can facilitate and is being offered without cost. Details of the short Run and Scope's location and contact details will be provided via PM to members who nominate on the Roll Call below, so don't miss this unique opportunity to have your MR2 checked over by the best in the business. See you there.

    I'm definitely in, I can hear a bit of rattling noise coming from the front somewhere sometimes, mainly over bumps.

    I would like to attend and was planning to up until a 1.5 weeks ago when the faily car was caught up in the panel beater fire in Marooka.
     
    So instead of seeking some knowledgeable advice for my MR2 I will be running around the place looking for a replacement family car.


    Go soothingly on the grease mud as there lurks a skid demon.

    Fredhoon,
    bad luck about the car. No doubt it was a near new $290,000 BMW M6 and totally written off, being made completely unrecognisable by the fire. Only the M6 badges survived which of course you had at home. Knightrous and I would be happy to help you make the claim if this is the case.
     
    Sorry you can't make it tomorrow as it will be a great day. I have sent you a PM with the details just in case as you can arrive at the secret Scope Cave any time during the day up until 2.30pm. Hope you can make the 21 July Run.

    Thank you everyone for a very interesting day.  A special thank you to Scope and Mrs Scope for hosting the day.  I am pleased to say I have fitted the new OEM ignition leads today and the miss is gone.  The engine is purring like a Toyota engine should.  AndyO and I look forward to joining a run soon.
    Cheers
    Peter
