On Saturday at 10am, a handful of the faithful gathered at Bill Finch's garage in Downingtown for a group wrench session. Brian Curry answered the call and guided Dan Cain and Bill Finch through the all-important rear spline lube. Brake fluids were flushed, pinched throttle cables were rerouted, old running lites were removed...and all beef hot dogs were consumed.
Jose Avila, Earle Bare, Bill Wright and Jason Bauman stopped by to kick tires and cheer us on. Tom Medland, a local guy that none us knew, saw the BMW directional signs posted all over town and stopped by to see what all the fuss was about. Earle gave him the mac-pac pitch...and I'm sure we have a new member. Earle, Bill W. and Jason headed off to Hermy's - after finishing the potato chips.
The suspects: L to R: Brian Curry, Earle Bare, Jose Avila, Bill Finch, Bill Wright, Jason Bauman, Dan Cain
