VA Autopians! Who would be up for a Mini Detail Day? - Page 2

MongooseGA · 09-30-04, 03:20

nope, wrong shop. i know the one you mean though. its got the grave digger on a concrete platform on the shops yard, right?

Aurora40, i wouldnt think Mosca would be up for a drive to nothern VA from PA for just a detail day. I guess it could also depend on where in PA he is.

If anyone else knows someone in the relative area, let em knpw. i normally dont like the 'more the merrier' thing, but in this case it just seems that it'd be more fun, and every one could throw in a bit of information to better the whole group

it's a bit too far for me, I'm in Manassas, Va (40 mins west of DC), I'd like to meet with some other autopians if it's ever held closer to DC, there's noone I know around here.

well, i have a vote for something closer to Richmond VA, and about 4-5 votes for something in northern VA. I can't think of anything to please everyone, but i can try to get close to it. Would anyone be willing to make a weekend out of it, and tour the beach here on a 3-day weekend? Don't count on anything yet, I'm just throwing ideas out there

. Should this happen, everyone will need to compromise a bit and a little drive might be necessary.

I don't think I'd be able to make a weekend of anything. What about Charlottesville? It's sort of between Richmond and Manassas. And it's a nice drive down tree-lined Rt 29. I wonder if you could use some UVA facility? Crutchfield is also there, though I don't think they do a lot of car detailing stuff...

Oh, adg44 is in Herndon.

MongooseGA · 10-03-04, 09:12

Can anyone else put in a second for Charlottesville?

No problem about the wkeend deal. Like I said, i was just throwing out some ideas.

How far is Herndon?

BTW, would you really wanna drive your freshly Autopian-polished car through all of those sappy trees?

Aurora40 · 10-03-04, 10:12

Herdon's right near me, it's NoVA. I haven't seen adg44 posting online much lately, but maybe he's been busy with that red R32 he bought? You might try PM'ing him.

I drove the Aurora up to NJ to check out that Corvette. I'm sure some Bug Guard, QEW, and Last Touch could take care of any issues I encounter on the way.

anthony bought a R32?

I have to give him a call. We use to show our cars together.

Yes sir I did. Got pretty bored with the Audi, and got hooked up big time on the R32, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it. It's all that my old GTI was, and then some.

I'd be down for a little GTG, as I don't think any of us here have actually met each other before.

I'm down for whatever.... I'll watch this thread for updates.

Thanks for the PM alerting me, Bob.

1) MongooseGA (Glenn Jr.)
2) Thinksnow (Dan)
3) Tdekany (Thomas)
4) Aurora40 (?)
5) BlkZ28Conv (?)
6) tomsting (I dont know if I can find something close enough, but I can try)
7) Slov98 (?)
8) adg44 (Anthony)

If I'm able to get a good location/ time for this,it looks like we'll have a nice sized turn out. I might just get out a map this week and mark off the locals of everyone here, then find something relatively close to everyone.

Now, who here actually knows how to use a rotary?

Yeah, and that too...!

and wet sending.

MongooseGA · 10-04-04, 05:03

Just thought about something:

Should all potentially attending put in a $xx.xx fee to pay for pizza, drinks, etc, or any other products we may need so as not to waste each other's stuff?

Twenty bucks?

Whaddya think?

Aurora40 · 10-12-04, 10:50

So, did this thing just fizzle out?

Money for food, sodas, the place is cool. But I'm not sure we need to chip in for communal product. The point is to hang out a bit and learn a bit, right? Maybe wax some hoods, try out some different techniques, etc. Shouldn't use up very much product. I don't think anyone should expect to have their entire car detailed by others for free...

Besides, which products would you buy? If you had to get pads, polish, wax, etc, it could be costly. And who'd keep the leftovers?
