    Would anyone be interested in taking an evening tour of a local wheel repair company? The company is located in Carrollton and has offered to let me bring some people in for a tour, to see how it is that they do what they do to our damaged wheels.

    PM me or post if you would be open to the idea. I have 7 people signed up already.

    I am thinking sometime between now and the middle of April

    I would like to take part in this, too - could you give us an idea where Patton Place is in relation to the major Carrolton streets?

    Take some good notes.....
    I can't make the 17th - but would like to stop by if it was worth the time of the attendees on the 17th.
    Regards,

    Thanks for the info but Carrollton is too far of a drive for me. It looks interesting though.

    Sounds interesting, I can't say better than 50/50 right now.

    Flying Saucer will be packed, Monday the 17th is amateur night. No Blarney.

    March isn't good for me, so I may have a VERY LIKELY cancellation I may not be able to give notice to. But for now, put me down, because I'd like to go if I'm still in town. Brandon

    Patton Place is North East of the I-35 / PGBT intersection. I will try and post a picture of a google map as well.


    Good Point about Saucer... how about La Hacienda Ranch&#8206; , that is right around the corner and would allow for the number of people too.

    Either way... names added to the list!

    I'm in....there isn't much going on in my life on Monday nights anyways. I have a couple of BMW wheels I need them to look at anyways.

    This wheel repair shop is really close to the intersection of I-35E & PGBT (190 Turnpike).

    If you're coming north on I-35E, the easiest way to get there is to exit Frankford Rd., stay on service road til you pass Volvo of Dallas on your right, then take a right on Frankford, go for about 2-3 miles until you get to Rosemeade Pkwy/ Dickerson Rd., turn right and Patton Place should be a couple streets up, then turn right and look for the building.

    See everyone there!
