Hi, Jake, Thank you for offering these classes. I'm one of the guys that will be attending the hands on class in addition to the online class. Not sure if you've seen my new thread tonight, but I think my car wants to be apart of the class too because I went to drive it this afternoon and it was riding rough and then displayed a blinking CEL and "Drive to Workshop". Any advice how to proceed with this problem? I know I need to get a durametric, but I do have access to a cheapo scan tool. Would that work on these cars for this kind of problem. I didn't drive the car far and it has been sitting up since Thanksgiving. Maybe bad gas? Or the damp weather? Thank you for your time and efforts. And, I'm looking for to be in your class. Honored!

I will be in the online class. Work / 10 yr anniversary trip will likely push me to 2020 for hands on. I may also do high perf online. Now thst I have two M96s, it�s time to learn more.

We will see you in the online class :-)

Jake, I registered for the hands on class, but I'm unable to register for the prerequisite online class (full?). Any sympathy for a tardy planner? I'm excited to learn from the people that know this engine best. Thanks in advance, Mo

The online class is sold out! We can share the recording of the class with you, which will work for the pre- requisite, you�ll have to sign up for that with Rebecca at the normal price. The system will only allow 24 live attendees, and its booked.. :-) We are now at 7 for the hands on class to happen. Two more and l�ll give it the green light.

If anybody backs out, please let me know. Thanks, and I will do the recording accordingly. Hopefully see you soon! Mo

Backing out isn�t an option..

Bump. Let's make this happen gang! If you're on the fence, DO IT! We need you

I would absolutely love to attend the hands-on class. However, having just tortured my budget this past October just to buy the car there's no way I can swing it. Too soon. I'm really hoping that this (if it happens) isn't the last of the 996 hands-on classes.

Well, I went from a �maybe� to a �forget about it� back to a �maybe.� Checking airlines and hotel costs to get a total cost. Speaking of hotels, what is the recommended hotel? I hope to know for sure whether I can make it before too long.

Due to the location of the facility, there�s only two hotels that we allow. Anything else goofs up the flow, and our shuttle plans, etc. Look up the Holiday Inn Express, or Hampton Inn, in Covington Georgia. These hotels are 100 yeards apart, and the best places to stay. We�ve had one more sign up today, that puts us two away from the minimum. Tonight is the nline class, so maybe after that two more people will sign up. The online class is filled to capacity, and now we have 6 people signed up for the video version of it as well. Never seen this much interest in the online class, we typically have 1/2 this attendence.

Just registered for hands on class. Not sure if you were talking about be registering today or someone else but I think I'm #9.?

Thanks, you were #8 I will have the class if we have to with just one more sign up. I would prefer 2, making it 10.

The online class was really good. If you guys are sitting on the fence thinking about it, it is worth the admission fee. You get more than you pay for and you will definitely learn some things. I have a lot of general car experience, but learned a ton related to my 996 and 986 specifically. I'm looking forward to the hands on. I've already acknowledged the fact that at some point, I will very likely rebuild one or both of my engines. Selling either car doesn't appeal to me very much. I plan on getting a lift next year so both can be in the garage and the wife can still have a spot too.

The online class was a hit! Our biggest group ever turned out to be great. I have now increased our online capabilities for future classes. We can now handle up to 175 attendees at once. That said, as of this morning the Hands-on "102" class is filled! Not just booked to the minimum number of attendees to hold the class, but filled to capacity! Due to demand we are looking into another date in 2019 to hold a second hands- on "M96 102 Hands- on class". This is not what I had expected. To all of you who bought the recording of the class, it is now rendering and will be uploaded this evening. You'll have a link by noon tomorrow as long as technical difficulties don't strike! :-)

Congrats, Jake! Any hands-on class for the 9A1?

I have created a hands on class for the 9a1, unfortunately I do not believe it would be well attended at this time, so we have not scheduled it. Until I see a bigger demand for the "101" class, and it books up, there's no way we'd get enough attendees for a hands on 9a1.
