    Posted: November/09/11 at 5:49pm
Many of you have been to Griots for one of their car care clinics, and they always do a great job.  I thought something a little different might be fun, so Griots has agreed to have a clinic on cleaning the engine compartment and cleaning the interior of our cars.  Available dates are December 17 and 31, but they also have openings in January and February.  This is also a good way to get together in the middle of winter without getting wet.  If there is any interest in this kind of clinic post what dates work and we can put something together.

UPDATE: This event will happen 10am, January 28, 2012!

Thanks John - I was thinking about a trip to Griot's as I was browsing the new catalog that came yesterday.  A date after the Holidays works best for me - middleish of January.

Griots can do this on January 14 or 28, or on any Sunday.  Either Saturday works for me.

January 14th is very middelish - and would be my first choice.  Just choose a day when the Seahawks won't be hosting a playoff game...

So this will for sure happen in January?
 
I was last there for their "M Car Days" and it was well organized as usual. Wouldn't mind going again as I need to refill some of my cleaning supplies again as well as get some goodies I saw in their recent catalog. Big smile

Unfortunately January 14th has been taken.  Other available dates are January 28th, and February 18th and 25th.  I booked us for the 28th just to hold the date.  I thought that the two February dates are too close to the President's Day holiday.  However, if people would rather do it on one of those February dates I can move it. 
Let me know if there is still interest in this, and what dates people would prefer.  We obviously have to have enough people to make it worth Griot's while.

I had booked that date so we wouldn't lose it.  However, if too many people can't make it then I can  reschedule.

Based on the availability of everyone so far I'm going to leave this for January 28th.  I'll call Griots and see what time they want to start, but my recollection from prior events is about 10:00.  I'll post that info when I get it.

I think Bruce and I can do this.  Is it usually in the morning?  I've never been to one of their clinics.

Thanks for arranging!

You will love the Car Display/MuseumThumbs Up

As I understand the focus of this Clinic is cleaning under the hood and interior. 

Their exterior cleaning clinic was pretty good and I learned stuff I never knew or had misconceptions about.

It is still 10:00am John?

Is it possible to update the first post and the title of this gathering to the 10am start time? I called Griots on Friday and they said they have us down for 10am.
