TECH-SESSION
Tune-Up & Hands-On
9:00 am May 17, 2008

17, 2008 at 9:00 am is the date for the ever-popular tune-up and trip prep
Tech Session. This is a good event to get our cars in tip-top shape for the
summer driving season. Plan to attend and get your hands a little greasy
making you MG run the very best it can. We’ll have this session in the
Walmart store parking lot south of Alexandria (directions below). The club’s
experts will be on hand to assist with everything you need. Plan to do
carburetor tuning & balancing, choke adjustments, spark plug changing, valve
adjustments (bring a new valve cover gasket for this chore), brake fluid
(bring some Castrol LMA fluid for this item), alignment, oil changes (bring
new oil and filter you like), lube work, and any other maintenance items
that can be done to aid in a summer of driving fun. We’ll also do some
safety checking of steering, exhausts, lights, etc. as you wish. This event
is especially important for those planning any long distance driving such as
to the convention later in June. The tech committee will check over your car
as best possible to reduce possible problems. So come on over and give your
car some TLC.
All you need is your M.G. and
any supplies you want to use. On hand will be our experts to guide you, and
provide any tools you may not have to get the job done. Plus we will have
the required donuts and coffee to make for a great morning. Plan to start
around 9:00 am and wrap up around noon. Directions are as follows:
From the Beltway: Take the first exit on the
Virginia side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge (exit #177 on I-95/495) which is
route US 1 SOUTH. Proceed 4.3 miles SOUTH on US 1 to the Walmart store on
your right. Turn at the main lot entrance and find the Tech Session in the
small parking lot on your left. See you there. |
