Is this still going on? I'd like to at least stop by and give you your quart of oil.

Sorry I missed it also....I had my grey MCS at Butl3r Collision and Damage this week, and I wasn't sure it would be ready by today.

The hammered out my rear quarter panel (it had been backed into from the side) and repainted. I picked them because of feedback from the club, and it turned out fantastic. They were also lower in cost than Ev3land.

I hope to do the 60,000 maintenance list at the next Garage day, so I will look forward to that.

Hope you all had fun!

We learned today that when you replace the brake pads on a R56, you HAVE to replace the brake sensors. :x

Great shop day and an excellent lunch.Just wanted to remind everyone that Dave does have some expences associated with the use of his garage for our "garage days".A couple of bucks each would go a long way to pay for some of the disposable items Dave uses each time we have one of these events.-Frank :saywhat:

Yep, another successful day at MINIDave's MINIgarage!

Got to meet a new club member - clubby clutch - changed his oil and flushed his brake fluid and even got to do a little BMW work on the side.

Got Boxer's coolant changed, and just in time I think, that stuff was Nas T! :D

Got brakes all around on an R56, although they had to make a quick Baron run for new sensors.

Zack came in and modified his driving light mounts and got his plugs changed, so he's good to go too....

All in all, a fun, if hot, day!

Yep, Dave thanks for the help. I really appreciated it. Actually got to work on my car and didn't do a bad job either.
