Meet

For those of you whom are meet deprived..

Mini meet tonight 7:30 - 9:00

Orchard Valley Coffee
349 East Campbell Avenue
Campbell, CA 95008-2011


This is downtown Campbell, if you've been through before, you'll know its pretty much like a strip and not a parking lot. Though North of it a few yards away is a universal lot for most the shops there. Otherwise good luck parking on the street, I may do that


Disclaimer: I didnt set it up, but I'm spreading it to the forums for whomever wants to join.
It'd be me, and two other non-rotary Mazda guys

I think I will. Spark plugs are new. Less than 1k miles on em. So coils and wires are next. I'll keep you posted. Thanks. And thanks to superhyped for coming out and letting me borrow his obd2 scanner
