Tech Column – Paul Reinmann
Saturday Feb 4 Tech Day at Stevenson Miata had the highest member attendance There were 18 Miatas piloted by 19 members, one was a co-pilot. Everyone was able to get their requested maintenance done while several had successful troubleshooting performed. I await feedback on these performance enhancements and will post in a later Ragtop Tales issue.
We had a great time socializing among ourselves with many staying beyond their own cars’ service time. Pizza was great and the weather allowed for nice top-down driving, to and from Stevenson.
Please take note we have an option to add another Tech Day event in three or six months.
John Wigger, the service manager, is willing to have us anytime. Perhaps we could consider this as a recurring event every quarter? Please give me your feedback.
