1 Clean WS6
Detailing Rottweiler
Hello all!!
Well the 9th annual f-body Gathering (www.fbodygathering.com) went off as smooth as silk this year. Beautiful weather (except for Sunday), wonderful people and at least 300+ f-cars in attendance. Once again the show was bigger than it was the year before...as has been the case for the five years I have been attending.
For the past three years I have been one of the sponsors of the event and will set up my rig in the vendor lot to detail f-bod's all weekend. Last year I reached the point where I was having to turn business away because of my workload so this year I brought an assistant...and what better assistant to bring than an Autopian!! My friend Jerry (Blackbird on this forum) was a tremendous help allowing us to knock out 12 cars in the 3 days we were set-up there. Even still business had to be turned away so next year I most likely will bring another hand to help.
A highlight of the weekend for me was hanging out with fellow Autopian's Woody (WS6 7902), Lee (SilverLexus) and Todd (mtodde). Woody and I had met a few time before to talk f-cars (he has a beautiful '02 WS6 and gorgeous '79 TA) but this was the first time I met Lee and Todd...finally being able to put a face with an internet handle!! We talked detailing for several hours and came to the conclusion that we are the normal ones...the non-Autopian's are the ones with problems!!
At the awards ceremony this Sunday I was a VERY happy camper!! Four of the vehicles I detailed won awards including a first in class! Woody's stunning '79 Trans Am (which had a crowd around it all weekend) took first in his class. My girl Lola ("the infamous 1 Clean WS6" as Lee would say)...for the fifth year in a row now...took first in her class!!!
In all it was yet another great Gathering. If you have an f-car (of any generation) I would put this on your list of "must attend" events. Good people, good times and incredible cars...what more in life is there?
Enjoy,
Mike
