Change those Belgian ales fo real Finnish beer and I can see you're talking!

BTW, you're out of town this weekend?
If you could come on Saturday, we could do both cars (your & Marcelo's) back to back.

Have not done it yet, hopefully this coming weekend. How much beer would I need to supply for you to send FF over to Naples to change my oil???

It would take a case of www.lapinkulta.fi at least and since G-money has offered fine scotch and hoez then considering the travel time we're taking: travelling hoez, box of cubans (cigars that is) i.e. Romeo y Julieta or Montecristo or Davidoff's. A night stay at the Ritz and....what else can you offer???

G-Money,

I like the hoez part, maybe some Glen Livet or Fidich but as I explained to our good friend Sloth, www.lapinkulta.fi is the way to go, followed by Newcastle or Heineken. Oh yeah you have to be a Rennlist member. But you're getting closer.

G-Money & Sloth,

The both of you can start by PM'ing FF and myself a few brews...

I was thinking along the lines of a 6 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a carton of Phillies, and a box of tomatoes...

Business is kind of tight right now and although I would love to help you out at that price, it's really going to be impossible, but may a case Newcastle and some Cubans may do the job...

PS
Are they vine ripened tomatoes, organic and will they come with fresh mozzarella and basil??

Finn,

Youre jumping the gun!
Since you already know how to change the oil in a 993,
the next logical step is to do the 996,
then the GT-3's. It only makes sense to do them in
chronological order......
so I'll be at your place tomorrow after work.

YOu need to warm up your oil- drive it to Iowa and I'll help you change it! The neighbors already think I'm crazy- another Porsche coming down the lane would clinch it...

Rico,

What is your offer? Petu and I (his agent) for that matter do not do this for free. Since you're a good friend the same offer G-money and Sloth got will stand for you with one exception, since Gioel and Sloth are bringing the hoez then you MUST offer the use of the 550 Spyder for the weekend...

Bring it on Saturday, we'll do yours first then mine, that way we stick with your theory of progression.

skl,

We might just take you up on that offer...we'll have to call it a SBBC "To the Heartland of America Rally!!!"

This is getting out of hand, I think we have to call Snoop and change pimps...



Marcelo,

you do know that fee for changing your oil change (among other things already mentioned) is three free laps dricing your GT3 at Sebring!

Rico,

Get the lapin Kulta and you're in!

Petu,

I'm the agent, I get these services done as part of my fee, I get you clients, "amenities" and in return I ask for 2 beers out of a 12-pack and the work for free.

FF,

sadly I am travelling this weekend and as such won't be able to partake in the de-greasing / re-greasing of MJ's machine.

We'll have to set it up for another time, at which point we can discuss the optimal reward.

This thread has degenerated to meaningless banter.

On the topic of oil changes ... consider getting an oil analysis with every oil change. This is especially useful when the engine is in warranty and especially as the warranty is coming to an end. These are expensive engines and worth the small price that it costs.
