Once again we are hosting the very first GTG of the new year on New Year's Day, 1/1/2015!



Festivities will start @ 9am-ish and go to 10pm-ish on 1-1-2015.
HO5G rules apply remember if you feel the need to fill the towns coffers with your hard earned cash do so at your own risk. The chief of police lives 3 doors up from the HO5G and he will be glad to accept your contributions.

A few notes about our GTG format:

#1 – ALL newbie’s:
By newbie’s I mean all of you that we don’t know. Just because you've been here doesn't necessarily mean we know you! You need to ‘check in’ with us and get a name tag. This is our home and we would like to know who’s here!

#2 – Food & beverages: It's not fair to expect the same people to provide the bulk of the food!
Bring items we all share. We provide propane and grill.

#3 – Work
Garage space as always is first come, first served there is a lift list. Big jobs need to be cleared by us first. As always – NO timing belts unless done by a pre-approved (i.e. mrchill, HermTDI) club member. Those arrangements MUST be made in advance with us & the person doing the work.

Bring the TOOLS and FLUIDS that you'll need for the job! We have a brake bleeder and oil extractor available. Bring containers for your fluids! (We have a relatively shallow well for water so fluid spills are unacceptable.)

ALL WORK IS TO BE COMPLETED BY 10pm


We enjoy opening our home and warm garages to you...all we ask for is a little courtesy and respect in return. As my sign says: BE NICE OR GO AWAY!

Now back to our regularly scheduled GTG - bring your tools, to do lists and a little something to share food/drinkwise!
Bring food, bring drink, bring tools and bring good weather!

The garage will be warm and the lift ready - clear all lift jobs w/ PeterV!

Hope to see you there (I mean here!)
PeterV & Hamsterdiesel

I was waiting for this. BonJonBart has already stated to me that she'd make spinach lasagna for the event, IF there was to be one. Now it's official!

BMW Advanced Diesel was also left out! Lisa and I won't be able to make it to the Ho5G this time due to us being away on vacation.

We were talking about things that I have shown up in; a BMW not being one of them. ;)

Enjoy vacation! Hopefully you're somewhere warm. :cool:

Oh wow, that cheesy corn was awesome!

I have to work that day but will try and swap or get a few hours off. I'll let everyone know. I have some unfinished business with Bob's B4 and Chris' A3.

Revkev and W386 may also attend, I'll ask and update.

Yay - we will be there. Probably with the B4, not sure what work I might need to do, nothing pressing at the moment.
