Rain? Global warming is a closer description.

The usual success was had by all at our Wrenchfest #2 in Long Beach, CA. We had 18 E31's, an E38 and a motorcycle trike. Repairs/service involved oil changes, changed fuel pressure regulator, alignments, etc. etc. The general tendency at these events is now to work like banshee's in the morning and drink coffee- eat donuts, work a bit more, eat lunch, work less and then sit around and yak. Great stuff!

As usual Fab of EF1 Motorsport allowed us access to excellent facility for this Wrenchfest. We always appreciate the support by Fab, as well as his wholehearted support to help us with the really sticky repairs!

Gary and Dave discuss Alec's 850CSi while diagnosing some engine issues...nothing serious.

Alex also displayed his collection of phones for sale.

Dave got nice clean oil in his engine and his car is now very happy.

Gary, who has an 850CSi and a '91 850i (6 speed) just acquired this E38 after a two year search. The car is pristine and is the 2001 750i sport model. It looks brand new inside and out. This car has the most perfect rims we've seen on any car.

And finally the first reveal of the new (to him) CSi for Taylor. He sold his much upgraded and well cared for 850CSi a short time ago and decided to start with a new one. He bought this from a SoCalEights member a few weeks ago and got a well cared for clean 850CSi. Congrats, Taylor!!!

The WrenchFest was pretty busy this time with about 18 E31's on hand. We got a lot accomplished.
