Dan would like to invite everyone for a tech day to do inspections of owners MINIs before heading to the DRAGON in May.

We're talking brake inspections, Tire inspections, fluids and other minor things.

Let me know who would like to go and we'll meet up at Dan's around 12pm on March 31st. Then head out for a bite to eat afterwards.

Hmmm... Very interesting... I just happen to have that Saturday off. Might I suggest Tommy's BBQ down the road from Dan's shop for lunch. That place is sooo good. ;)

Let's get Dan's driveway looking like this again! Well, the race car's probably inside, but we can get lots of cars out front! Last time I was there, the M3s outnumbered the MINIs! We must rise to the occassion! We must...oh, just go get some brake pads/fluid and eat some BBQ, will ya'?

I have to go to Winston tomorrow morning so its a good execuse to stop by Dan's place and get something to eat. I've never been there. I haven't checked out Map Quest yet but I assuming his place is easy to find.

It is.... When I went to Dan's, I took 311 to Bus 85 S. When you see Mendenhall Auto Auction on the left side of the highway (going south) your getting close. Mendenhall Rd is a "side st" to the right that you need to turn onto off of 85. Once you turn onto Mendenhall Rd (mapquest says "Menderhall") Go to the intersection with Ballpark Rd and turn right. Dan's is down on the right and if you pass by the Fire Station, youve gone too far. His sign out front doesnt look like the one on his website.... I missed it the first time I went by.
