    How about a "How to read your dipstick" class?

    I've never seen so many people who are confused by their dipstick as MINI owners!

    Also, some how to change your oil tips would probably be well received...

    Good suggestions - I know an expert MINI service guy that would do a great job on MINI Maintenance 101. As for detailing, yup know one or two of those experts as well.
    What else?

    Basic performance driving techniques would be neat.

    Carramrod, can you help understand this topic so I can possibly think of a vendor or expert that might be able to hold a session. Are you suggestion track techniques or autox or just general driving?
    Thanks for the suggestion.

    General performance driving. Things like looking ahead, reading corners, what to look for when walking the track. You could even go into how suspension settings affect handling and tire wear. Basically look for a local driving school or an instructor that happens to have a MINI in the area ;)

    Chuck, I think we could approach Chris S of PES (Peak Eurosport) on this, perhaps he could do a chalk-board or some such.

    How about a brake change and maintenace lights resets. That brake job at the dealer left me thinking I need to be doing that!
