Default Mike J's 5th Annual pcarworkshop Shop Day and BBQ - June 26, 2010

I would like to host Mike J's 5th annual shop day this year on Saturday, June 26th 2010

If too many attendees can't make it that day, I will reschedule towards the end of August so please let me know if you can make it.

Schedule:
9:00 - The shop is open. Given I have a full sized lift we should be able to accommodate a few oil changes, brake flushes, repairs....the shop is a good size so we can work on two or three cars at a time (one on the lift and the others in the next bay). I will make sure the shop is nice and clean and move the trailer so we have lots of room...please bring all the parts/fluids/filters you need since its hard to get Porsche parts on a Saturday If you just want to pitch in or observe please be my guest.

11:30 on - The BBQ will be fired up for lunch depending on the appetites etc (maybe earlier!!)

Afternoon - continuous BS, wrenching, what have you.

5:00 - wrap-up

If there is some specific work you are planning, please PM me and we can discuss.

Directions: Click here for a map to 5691 Bessborough Drive Burnaby, British Columbia

Hopefully the weather will be great! Even it its raining the shop is large enough to have at least two-three cars undercover.

It would be great if those coming would either post or PM me so I have an idea on how much supplies/food we will be needing...

Everyone is invited ; this is not a 993 only event!!!

Cheers,

Mike

I'm going to try very hard to make it up for this year's event. Anyone else coming north on I-5 let me know so I can coordinate some type of a group drive and border crossing starting in Seattle. Depending on time of day and numbers of LE out, the drive can take as little as two hours but can take up to three hours or more if the border crossing is backed up.

I'm also going to try & make it. But if I do, Scarlet is getting a oil change.

Also not sure we can hang around waterpumpers.

I'm always envious when I see this annual post. It would be one hell of a hike for me but sounds like fun. Glad to see the tradition continue Mike.

And, coming in from the East or the South, you don't even have to cross the Second Narrows Bridge.
