Thanks to those who responded to my request for tech. session topics. 
Unfortunately, those replies were few in number.  To make this tech.
session work, I need your input!  If this tech. is a success, it would
likely open the door to future area tech. sessions.

Our hosts will be Rick Hetherington and the staff at Autobahn
Performance in Peabody, MA.  For those of you who attended the
Aftermarket Parts event in August, at IRA Porsche Audi in Danvers, MA,
you probably saw Rick at one of the tables.  Also, you were just a 10-15
minute drive from Autobahn Performance.

This tech. is open to everyone.  While we will definitely cover some
S-car topics, Rick has offered to cover items of interest for other Audi
models as well.  Rick would like to see at least 20 people show up, but
set no max., saying he'll find space for those who want to attend.

The tech. would run from 10 AM to around 4 PM.  At the past Porsche tech
sessions he has hosted, lunch is usually brought in and everyone puts in
between $5 and $10, and I see no reason why we couldn't do the same
here.

Rick did ask for an agenda.  Please email me directly about what you
want to discuss at the session.  For example, he said he could talk
about drivetrains and lay out a quattro drivetrain on the floor.  Or he
could do a live cam belt change.  Suspensions?  Various upgrades? 
General maintainance?  He wants to cover what interests you, so email
your suggestions and requests!  The guys at Autobahn did a great job
earlier this year with a couple of Porsche tech. sessions--for example,
discussing in detail the transmisison and drivetrain for a 944 (with
actual transmission and drivetrain on the floor in front of everyone)and
an unraveling of the wiring harness for a 928.

I also need to know which date, for a Saturday in October or early
November, is best for listers.  Please send me 2 dates, ranked by
preference.  I'll do what I can to work out a convenient day.  At
present, listers have been leaning toward early November.

Remember, to make this tech. a success, I need your help in setting the
agenda. Please write to me directly.  Thanks to those who respond.

The usual disclaimers apply, I am not affiliated with Autobahn other
than being a long time satisfied customer.
