[Nobbc] Plans for next one?

[Greg Badano]

Hi Greg,
 
I really like the idea of these tech sessions and appreciate the willingness
of you and other members to share their skills and knowledge.  Have to say I'm
in Dan's camp in that I would likely never take on a transmission rebuild but
would love to have a better understanding of how they work.  A concurrent
session sounds like a great idea.
 
Thanks!
 
Greg

Hi Dan,
Yes, it's true not everyone can get a lot of use from a gearbox session, but
that's what I'm currently doing, so it's a good fit for me right now. However,
it's also a nice chance to chat with members, and it's also why I suggested a
concurrent session that can be handled by another member; I can join in on if
my tech session is briefer than say a tuneup session or electronic ignition
swap session, both of which are great ideas!
So, here's what I'm thinking:
I'll set up my garage for a gearbox session that could take say, 1 hour.
Concurrently, another member, perhaps Andy or Robin, maybe both if willing,
can be handling a tuneup session, or ignition conversion session in my
driveway, which can fit two cars at a time. After my gearbox spiel, I can join
in on the tuneup/ignition gig.
If there is another session other than tuneup/ignition that people have more
interest in, let's kick that around now.
Andy - if you'd like to bring over an open or partially open MG gearbox, I can
use that to show the differences/similarities to the boxes I'll be using.
How does this sound? Keep your suggestions flowing - I'm all for making this
whatever you want it to be. The one constant should, I think, be that we leave
time for socializing and a BBQ.
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
