I was thinking about trying to set one up at my new house maybe next month. I have a two car garage with a carport off the back so lots of covered parking then my house is on a corner lot so I have lots of parking around the side and front. Have to talk to michelle about it first

That would be cool. I would get me some shocks or brake parts if we have one.

The shop opens for that long?

LT are you sure the smaller brembo decals don't go on the rear? Did you flip them on accident?

Anyways I finally jumped the wagon like everyone else and tried it for the first time yesterday. Worked really good..had my paint glowing afterwords. I'm impressed.

you will love that stuff Q. what all did you get? the one thing that i like the best is the Rethickulous towel. i use that after the waffle towel to finish the drying. i do recommend the grit guard for the bottom of the bucket.. rub your mitt across it and it gets all the crap out of the mitt

i got clay bar and wax setting that i got from detailed image in garage waiting for me one weekend

The decals for the front were bigger, they fit perfectly.

Trav I already have a few ww drying towels, and a tube full of mf towels, sheepskin mitts, mf mitts and grit guards. I should have ordered more drying towels. I'll probably throw on a layer of wax before summer hits, no need for me to clay as my paint is smooth. But I do need another polish already. Doh. We should all pitch in and have our groups own polisher to use. That would be cool.

I think Chris said you could bring your own helmet. Maybe we can hold on to the banner in the DFW just a bit longer so we can bring it to the next meet -- that would make for some cool pictures.

Hahaha I'd be down to Go-Kart. I also think we should do what Chris had suggested and have a "Tech Day". Either meet at a person's spacious garage or at Jack Junkies.
