sounds good, our local suspension shop does 6 pack spring changes :D
my brother took my struts in to change my front springs and the guy said it'll cost a 6 pack, my bro went back with cash, lol, the guy was disappointed but next time he'll know to be serious when saying he wants a 6er

we should create a list with member names, what skills they would be available for, and where they are

I will OK it but my only issue is paying someone underage in alcohol. Slight age issue but I guess thats between them and the underager. Not us.

If i can chuck a couple of ideas in;

- Check with the guy who's going to lend you a hand first what they can do and what the feel like doing, don't drive to the other side of town with a VN and an engine in the boot and ask for an engine changeover

- With possible repercussions about stuffing things up, it's unlikely some kind of ****-fight will start over this, but a way to avoid this might be to have a flat-out principle of showing whoever how to service whatever, rather than just doing it for them

- I don't know what kind of organisation will go into this and I dunno what kind of people garth has been hangin around :) but having a rule of "turn up with the slab" might be better

Lastly, if you can't make it, be polite and call or sms the guy

Basically, someone will come out and help you do an oil change and the basic few things for a slab or about $50 (only labour)..

Then again, there may be some problem with getting underage work permits.. I haven't read the new IR laws closely enough..

However, on the whole. Most people on this site are over the age of 18. And the ones that aren't are mostly 17, turning 18.. I'm sure their parents have let them have a sip or two of champagne before.. They'll be right..

But yes.. A list is next..
