I was just wondering who would be willing to come to a convention if one was ever held.
It would include hands on detailing sessions, suppliers, etc.....
It would be lots of fun as well.
This wont happen for a while, but i was just wondering if people would be willling to get together.
Airfair or transportation would not be included, but hotel and all sessions would be along with some other perks.

I've been to both o-t.net national meets, but they were in Houston, which is only a 4 hour drive. Last year, we had a member fly in from Australia! At least half the people who showed lived outside of Texas. I think we had a total of 70 people at one point. We also have regional and city-wide meets. Easy to get good attendance with 40,000+ members!

IE if there is a big car group that get's togeather (ie viper club  ) we tag along and give workshops or something. The best use of Autopia's tallent, is to spread the knowledge IMO. It's sad to see $90k sports cars with paint jobs less than 4 months old that are all ready swirled and abused and being washed with a wash mitt that's almost black...

It would be great if some of the vendors would attend - Terry from CMA, Sal from Zaino, etc etc.
Count me in! | |

Autopia? or a member? Also a meeting place it going to have to be big enough to hold a few people the way this poll looks, also what is the total point of this? Just to meet up and hang out, or to have a Detail class? Who would "teach" this class? I would love to know more about the plans of this and meet a few members!
