May 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.

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.
