Saturday - Drive n' Detail...
OK...Sunday we may get some rain, and I am dead set on finally going to the movies to see '300' which looks awesome...
SO...Saturday, I plan to get out in the e92 and stretch his legs a bit. Anyone up for a drive? I was thinking maybe Great Falls, the reverse route, followed up by a wash, polish, and wax at my place in Ashburn. We have a townhouse, but there's ample area to wash two cars at once, and I've had no problems parking the car in the garage and waxing it...temps should cooperate at around 60 degree, and it will be overcast, so no worries of paint being too warm to wax. Drive time is estimated to be around 1 hour. Detail time 2 hours or whatever anyone wants...I've got the hoses hooked up, multiple buckets, and a gallon of Meguire's Gold Class wash. I also have a PVA chamois, and other stuff... BYO -- beer, wash mitts, and dry towels (if you do choose to dry that way), also any special waxes/polishes you may wish to use. I personally use a combination of Meguire's and Griot's Garage catalog stuff...seems to work well for my purposes. Some of you guys are Zaino folks, so don't flame me for my methods...to each, his own! Anyway...all are welcome to drive, and we'll get to as many cars as possible to clean until my wife gets mad or the sun goes down... In respect to the Friday night drinkers and the late risers, I'm saying 1PM meet time at the same Food Lion (Bloom) location in Asburn, from AJ's wine and drive. Sign up now: 1. Scottz71 (Scott) 2. sstarch1 (I know you're in!) 3. 4. 5. 6.

Thanks for the offer Scott,
I might be pretty busy that day since I'm in the process of selling my car, etc. I still might make it out though. |

FWIW, it's supposed to rain Saturday, too. I plan to wash on Sunday.
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...st?query=22101 EDIT: Also, I should add -- thanks for the kind offer. This is the kind of thing that makes the DC group so cool. I hope we have more mini-meets like this during the spring and summer.

Yeah, I heard recently that the weather will be off and on this weekend...hopefully, we can get a run in, and then some clear skies to get a decent clean going on...

I'm changing the meeting place b/c most of those interested are South Riding or Brambleton...except for sstarch who'll be flying in from within the Beltway...
Meeting place is: Harris Teeter - Brambleton Brambleton Shopping Center - #230 42415 Ryan Rd Brambleton (Ashburn), VA 20148 My house is walking distance to this Shopping Center, we'll start here...head out to Rte 7...run through Great Falls and then dart back for some detailing. I am going rain or shine. We can hit Teeter after for beer n' food. PM me for my cell number if you've got questions!

OKAY -- UPDATE: Weather is not supposed to break until 2-3pm time frame so I think we may be looking at trying to do this tomorrow instead... sstarch1 tman all8up Guys, put in your opinions...frankly I don't think it too wise to drive the Great Falls roads when they are wet...takes the fun out of it. I'll check back shortly...

I hope you all got the message. See you tomorrow, when the weather will be nicer, and the roads will be dry...
Later. SZ

My car is sooo pretty.....Ahhhhhhhhh.
Shame that we couldnt go on the drive becuase my eninger not only threw a Service Engine Soon signal, but also on the way home threw some thing that is supposed to mean, im having some sort of exhaust issue. Scott and i thought it might be a bad batch of gasoline, in the car, but who knows. Im going to have to disintall the procede sometime tomorrow or the day after and get the car looked at.
