When would you like to have it? Hard to say on this one, but almost has to be on a Sat/Sun as many people have those days off.
How often? Once a month
Suggest a project. Tough one too, so many people with different levels of experience. A basic tune up/oil change session where everyone can get together and bs while doing basic stuff on their rigs. I know personally I have minimal experience with valve adjustments and the like, but that might not be fun for anyone else. |

It sounds like our first night needs to be fixing some things on Jennies car. I would like to hear from some more people saying they will be there. I still vote for Fridays.

Fridays would be tough for me, sunday evenings are good.
I dont know a whole heck of a lot about the mechanics of my bug so any topic would be great. |

You just want grunt labor and someone to get tools for you! Seriously though, you know I will help with whatever I can. |

Talk is cheap. Let's do this thing. My house this Friday, 6 PM. Anyone who has not been there before send me a PM for directions. Jenny, I think we should give your car a look and make a list of what needs doing. Somebody else bring another project in case that doesn't take very long. I am sorta thinking it will take 2 nights for each project, the first to plan what to do, then get the parts, etc, and work on it the next. So each shop night we need 2 project cars.
Sorry about the people for whom Friday is not good.
