i dont know yet i was hoping to get it after lunch on friday

[Ronin 09]

no offence but have you checked with Ben?

it's not a Dyno day - I don't think it's fair that a mob come down to "check it out!!"

it's a business after all (and a good one at that)

Yeah I am sure it will be packed! Being a Stagea, on a week day and posted in this section, total invasion man...

But seriously, if you can't see how this may not be in the business owner's interests, then that's fine.

A lot of guys have their car worked on by Racepace, I for one try to stay out of Ben's way because he is so busy.

OK so it's not my shop but if you put yourself in the the business' shoes, they may not feel it is appropriate for people who don't own cars in the shop to wander in.

In this age of litigation, a well run mechanical workshop will not allow any non-workers into the shop because of the high risk for potential injury and subsequent legal action.

That's fine if you disagree munch, but business is business... how many of these so-called tuner shops have been and gone, that are more of a 'fast & furious' garage where everyone is mates, then BANG 3 months go by and they've become insolvent.

I think I'm done here.

yeah mate i know Alex is close to there... maybe i misunderstood your initial post.

like i said, not having a go, but just trying to give you the heads-up that's all.

Ben is a great operator - it will run well once it's done - good luck!

Actually Ronin has a valid point.

Ben will most probably not appreciate people coming into his w/shop, just to meet eachother and look at cars. It is a place of business and he is a VERY busy person. If people are genuine about getting work done by him, i'm sure he will be very helpful, but to use his business as a meeting place, without his permission is really silly.

Just because you are paying to do a job, does not entitle you to organise meets during working hours. I'm sure you would feel the same at your place of employment .

[EGA41T]

who says they are all planning on being in the workshop?

they want to catch up and have a chat to other stagea owners about all things stagea...which doesnt involve strolling straight into the workshop and getting in the way of staff.

[Ronin 09]

FFS i'm just trying to say be considerate!

[stasis]

ok guys perhaps i should rephrase. catching up after the tune right outside the workshop and not intefering with the mans job or business.

Meet atthe curbside its fine thats what i meant anyways. soz for the misunderstanding. I dont mean to invade Ben's workshop but meet up with other stagea owners (if the want to come) and chit chat outside the workshop outta of Ben's way of course. Clear guys?! Dont start on me now

cant help it im excited going to see the car on steroid on friday

no offence

no offence taken

Understand your point 100% and you are dead right. These are not the type of guys that would be hanging in the workshop (someone elses) but you're not to know that... Only reason Yudy made the call was that he lives a couple of hundred clicks out of town (and OS mostly of late) and does't get much chance to see, let alone chat to (in person) another Stagea owner. He can't very well drop the car off and head home, so that's where he will be until the job is done by the sounds of it.

I hope the boys can catch up as I know I won't be able to be there.

Cheers FFS

Luke you read my mind. THanks for clarifying this. Thats exactly what im going to do except im not going to wait 2 whole days in the workshop but will crash in the city i guess

[ferni]

I can understand where Ronin was coming from, i thought the same thing when i first read the thread - now I see your from out of town and staying down here you didn't mean hang out at Racepace you just ment meet up and hang out in Melbourne....

[Ska]

Yeah Yudy's typing skills are in need of some practise.

Anyway, it's not like it is going to be a mob, and it is not like they are going to be going into the workshop at all, and at no point was this ever implied.

Now you guys go have a beer for me when you get together I hope Yudy's english skills are better then his typing
