Re: ASC McLaren ShOcKs!!!

My coupe is away for the winter. Come April I need to take to dealer
for the usual stuff. I am going under it to look at everything, as
it's all virgin untouched under there. I'll get yelled at, with the
usual "Customers are not allowed in the shop" stuff. But If I am
fast and descreet, maybe I can do it. I try to hit "break" at 10:15
AM - they are not so around then....coffee truck and other diversions.
