  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Air compressor not restarting

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    Yup that's why I forewent the 18's as the tires would have been 40 series and our roads are not that great around town. Biggest I would go would be 17's

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    I hear you on the computer stuff. Took the locksmith 90 mins to program a new key this morning. He was telling me horror stories about inexperienced locksmiths bricking :oops: very expensive European cars when they screwed up doing key replacements. Yes, actually I need the lower left and right...
