Yeah I know them, well its more like my father does. We have about 8 BMW in our family and my Parents live in Greenville SC. Bimmers and Benz is run and owned by a man named George Moorland. He's been working on BMW for almost 30 years I believe and really knows his stuff. But I'm not about to go down there. My father would often go down there and socialize and find out BMW info. So what I'm told is that George got real mad, kicked him out and told him he wasn't getting any more info from his shop for free. Ya got to understand that my father just likes to hang out with other beemer guys at the garage, he’s not just going around trying to steal info. That’s my take.

Just wondering what kind of work you do for a living? For instance, let's say you are Nascar Mechanic, and there is a retired Nascar Mechanic that just wants to "hang out" with other Nascar guys at the garage. Could you do you job efficently with someone "hanging out" in the garage? Not taking up for rudeness, but there is a fine line between tollerable and intollerable, but rule of thumb is that customer comes first, but when the customer comes to the back (garage) that person is then in the mechanics world, where the mechanic makes his living. It's one thing to just come in and say "Hi" and stay for just a few minutes, but to come to the mechanics world and to stay for an extended period of time, that is intollerable, as mechanics are paid by commission and when they are interupted they lose money.
