Good day everyone, Today is Tuesday and that can only mean one thing - it's EURO COFFEE & CARS at the Garrison Safeway/Starbucks parking lot. The gathering commences this evening at 7pm in the south east corner of the parking lot.
As usual, an informative and entertaining presentation by Mobile Solutions of Calgary. Free food and drink! Agenda Theres something to be said about the tuned sound of a Ferraris exhaust note. But rivalling that is the sound of a professionally installed and tuned audio upgrade. Granted, the engine sounds are intoxicating, but the emotion created when you combine that with a high-quality sound system completes the driving experience! Mobile Solutions of Calgary would like to invite you, your family and friends to a very special evening. This event is designed to help educate you on the proper steps in designing a system tailored specifically to you! We will cover topics such as how to create a sound system that is as high-performance as the car itself, all the while maintaining factory cosmetics, fit and finish. Find out how to add convenience technologies like Bluetooth, iPod control and GPS satellite navigation to your vehicle. Learn the installation techniques used that allow you to remove your dream system without leaving a trace that it was ever there! We have arranged for some very special demonstration vehicles, designed and installed by Mobile Solutions, for you to experience great mobile audio for yourself. We guarantee some grins, and who knows maybe even a few goosebumps! For more info and to register: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1997413317/FC
