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. </div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>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.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>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.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Rye</div><div>Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Rye
