[TR] clubs that help

[Rye Livingston]

Something else our club does which is very cool, is we have Tune & Tech days.  One of our members arranges these a few times a year with a couple of local British car shops, often times before a big driving event.

The shop will open on a Saturday morning and it's for modest to small projects.  Members get to put their car up on a lift and check things out. I've seen some guys swap out a starter motor and generators/alternators, repair/adjust brakes, change their oil&filter, learn to adjust the values and tune the carburetors.  Several members, plus the mechanic at the shop, are there to help diganose the problem and lend a hand and their experience to fix it.

We also try to position this as a social event as well, so some members attend to hang out, supervise (watch), drink coffee and eat a donut.

The Red River Triumph Club does that. we are Dallas/Fort Worth. most 
recently we pulled the engine on a stag. in the past we have pulled and 
installed a number engines (including an MGB), and even had a day long event 
with members coming and going where we dismantled, bagged, and labeled an 
entire car. we have a member who has been waffling about having his car 
dismantled. it needs to be restored and we are trying to get him to commit 
to that first step!

Randall makes some good points. My local Triumph club has several 
experienced members who always come to the aid of owners needing repairs on 
their cars.
When I wanted to install my replacement transmission, I chose a date and 
seven members came to make the job easy. Am I lucky, or do other clubs 
share experiences like this?
