I'm a strong probably, though the week before or after would be better for me. Is it a drive or a WF?

Craig in Davis
Devinder (sp?)
Matt (Bimmerguy 02)

Well why don't you put it out on the NorCal Yahoo board, I think more people might check that or at least get email updates from that source...

I will come up on the 16th - I'd ask what food/drinks to bring, but it seems like beer is always welcome, along with flesh to burn on the grill.

Man I have to start requesting Saturdays off at the dealership. Working at BMW is fun, but it is going putting a big damper on summer fun.

Any of you guys have spring compressors and an impact gun?
I have a full suspension sitting in the back of my car and I need to remove the springs for another e24 guy. Is it alright if he comes?

We love doing suspension swaps at wrenchfests, right Bob?
I can bring my NEW set of spring compressors (craftsman this time) and Bluepoint impact.... Manny, do you have air?

Damn early bird.. I dont think other folks will even be up by then.
Whatever is best for everyone. I will be home all day but I would rather have it to where everyone is here together.. If you want to show up early then you can, I think my sunroof is missin some screws anyway
I think most will probably show up after 12 or so..

Manny, you didnt answer me on the last page, but do you have AIR?
Useless to bring impact gun if you don't have a compressor.

Sorry, I missed it.. I have crafstman air compressor & impact gun. But I always use my breaker bars since its a small tank & has to refill for max power. If its a nut thats really hard to remove a breaker is the best bet, but if its for speed & saving time then its good as long as the bolts are not super tight....
