Thumbs down Host a Clutch Party in VA/MD/DC?

Anyone want to host a "Clutch Party" for me in thier garage? HA HA

I was supposed to be doin this at my brother's house this weekend... But now it looks like he is cancelling on me...

I'm assuming his wife is being difficult, as always.

Still haven't figured out why people get married...

I currently live in an apartment which doesn't really have a place to do this sort of job... as well as my Jack Stands and some of my other Random Tools are living at my brother's house in Baltimore.


Ugh,, anyway I am really just venting to you guys; but if anyone wants to take on this challenge. Let me know!

Beer, Pizza, Soda, Wings; (if someone can Man A grill I'll pick up Ribs!)

If not, feel free to kick a man while he is down... Ha ha

Pete,

As per a PM I just sent you, I'm willing to play host.

Just bring your own jack stands. I think it would make me nervous to have someone else's car on my jack stands

Having done this a few years ago, I think I even have all the tools except for the clutch alignment gizmo, which I gave to a fellow Rennlister a while back.

if you can wait for Easter weekend you could bring it up to bowie and we could put it on the lift, maybe we could get john, mark and doug, and maybe a few other guys over to help out and get it knocked out in a day or two!

And as for why people get married?

Because divorces are SO fun!

Ok Guys, Thanks for all the support, I was actually goin to do the job at Mark's House yesterday (Many Many Thanks to Mark); But my Brother called and his Wife will be out of town next weekend. So I will be installing the Clutch there.. **Which is slightly more relaxing because he has cars i can borrow, and an extra room should i need them! Ha ha**

The key word in your statement is "Fiancee"... A "Wife" might come with slightly sharper claws!! Kitty vs Jungle Cat!! Ha ha

The above words are from a man who is fighting to stay a Bachelor as long as possible... (Although "The Girlfriend" met my family last night...)

Anyway, Thanks Again to all of you, and I will continue to update everyone with my progress!

This being a clutch in an na right? Should just take a few hours. If it where a turbo I would say much longer. how far are you from gloucester va?
