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...!

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?
 
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?
 
/\ Good thinking. I noticed that the other day when i re-read the thread for replies.



I haven't had time yet to look for a time/location to do this. Who'da thunk they'd give a High School Freshman so much work? ;)



Anyone know when the next big holiday weekend type thing is? I guess Christmas time would be the most 'time off' form school or work, but what's after that? I have (I believe) ~2 weeks from a few days before Christmas Eve, to the day or so after New Years. Anyone think something in this time would fit into their calendars?
 
All of my products are free, but I recommend the use of others for familiarity. I'm a rotary-friendly environment, but I've really only experienced success with PG and IG. Anyone with the 1Z line should bring it along. No wetsanding experience here, but great car-hole tunes and adult beverages. Just a quick sell for the Williamsburg location.
 
If we pull well into the winter months, I'll still provide coverage with a Vornado heat source. If Glenn Jr.'s mom is reading, we'll obviously be checking ID's at the door for said froth dogs:D



*edit* After December 7th, any time is good for the Snow until January 1 (gone up north chasing the snow).
 
Haha, God knows I'll probably be the most smashed anyway. Just don't ask my mom what happened at my dad's 40th birthday party ;) .



So something in the winter months seems ok? Anybody here have a second? How's Williamsburg weather compared to VA Beach?



Williamsburg good for anyone else?



If I'm not crazy, I believe Mr. Thomas (tdekany) recently picked up a rotary (Makita, I think?) . If you're reading, I don't know if you've had time to teach yourself yet, but if you have, then one more person to provide input would be awesome.



The only 1Z line I have is the WPS you gave me. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but hopefully I'll be doing that red Accord soon.



I've got the 2 SSR's, some AIO, DACP, then the usual s100 etc. Whatever you may need I can bring.



Whats a Vornado?
 
Number One: 27 replies and only 4 poll participates (hahaha).



Number Two: Head down the Boulevard
What's a Vornado?

and duck into Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bust out the wallet to experience the difference. WELL worth it. It's one of those things you experience when you age and find a nice lady who compasses your shopping.



Number Three: Our weather is not much different, but while you receive the coldest rain in recorded history, we'll have snow.



Number Four: Thomas will play coy, but he'll be down here in a heartbeat even if just to hear the Snow on the ones and twos (oldest five-disc ever plus a Bose AM-5 in the car-hole).



--D
 
OK, so the "almost, but not quite officially decided on" December is right around the corner. Time to commit some dates if we wanna do this thing.



Mr. Dan, you suggested your garage and buddies' beaters. Since we'd need you there, what is your December schedule like? I have 2 weeks off for school, but I don't think anyone else will have off from work. I guess a weekend will be necessary.



As of now, every weekend but the 14th (Sunday. That Saturday is good for me) and the first Saturday of the month (that Sunday is good for me). Blkz28Conv (Mr. Edwin, right?)suggested something so that his wife and the women folk could go Christmas shopping. So... gimme some dates that noone is busy on.



Who else can suggest something?



Mr. Thomas, did you bust that makita out today? :D



I might be able to suck up enough to warrant my own DeWalt by this event ;)
 
My girl is from NoVa and we head out a few times a year, if the date coincides w/ a trip out there I'd love to meet up :)
 
Sounds col Hot Rod Guy.



When do you normally plan your trips? I wanna see your new PC tool box ;)



Aurora40,



thinsnow (Dan) offered his heated garage (apparently it's heated by the best thing ever- the 'Vornado'! :D ). December probably will be tight. If December doesn't work out, who has anything else to suggest?
 
Well, there's one potential vote for something in January. Does anyone else wanna try something in Jan? I think if HotRodGuy's coming from the left coast to NoVA, we can try to plan for it.



Noone?
 
Interesting Idea, but I think the drive from NC would be pretty dang long! I do know however the NC folks want to have a meet. When is the Meguiars thing? :nixweiss
