Anyone Interested in going to the Detailing Day this Sunday 9/26/04?

I sent a couple of messages to Detailing Dynamics regarding my car, some issues I have & Sunday's event. Both Mike Lee (Cali on-line store man) and Matt Zakarian responded quickly.

I was wondering if we really should bring our detailing "Stuff" to this event, or if it was more a "Show & Sell". Specifically, I asked if I should bring my orbital

Matt answered it best:

"If you want to, of course. It would actually be better so we could evaluate not only your chemicals but also your tools and techniques. The one thing I'm trying to across to everyone is that this clinic is about "solutions" to your detaiing challenges; it's not about selling products. "

I think I'm going to like this event

 

Thanks Clyde. Assume you mentioned that a bunch of us were coming?

 

Yep...from FChat

 

Thx - hope the NSX guys don't mind.

 

More from Matt:

So no need for a breakfast run, no problems if you roll out of bed & jump into the car.

And I'd like to propose a run up to the Fairfeld concours afterwards. Think McLaren!

 

Sounds like fun. How far away? If the distance is not too far, I'm in. Sunday is Ferrari Day!!

 

nope, we gonna outnumber them anyway

 

Westport CT., is a pretty good drive from NYC better yet LI. It's a great drive, but the reality is that by the time you get to Westport most folks will probably be leaving the event. Unfortunately I think one or the other is the way to go on this one... :-(

 

sounds good. wats this concours about? got a link?

 

The link is either on the Calendar page or Jim's FairFeld Concors post.

But Eric sort of shattered the illusion of making it up their in time.
Thanks for the reality check, Eric

 

Figured as much. What's your game plan E? You joining us?

 

Sorry about that my friend...but nothing will suck more than driving and hour plus to find out that everyone is leaving. That's a reality that I don't want to experience...although getting there would be fun! ;-)

 

I'm seriously considering it. I have a buddy who has a buddy with a new 456 that wants to come out with us. They're up in Wilton CT though so i want to be sure that they get a "good indication" of what the EC is all about. Hence I want to be sure that the trip they make down to LI is worth it. I also have to consider the fact that I was away all week and have plans to be in Philly & St. Louis this coming week plus CA the following week. That equals an unhappy family and especially so when I bug out on the weekend to hang. I'm testing the waters right now...I'll know more later in the day. ;-)

 

A quick Map Quest shows it about 55 miles
up & over the whitestone, skirting the coast up 295->695->95->CT136

That's about 30-40 min Ferrari time...excluding traffic or NSXs slowing us down (just j/k to the Accura folk)

How about we see what time we get out of the detailing session. That McLaren is really calling to me

 

So it's
1) The wife is incredibly gracious, thanks you for the credit card & let's you learn how to spend more time with your car by detailing it
2) You get conked on the head with an iron frying pan for even suggesting it, but you come out with us because it's better than getting conked again if you stay around the house
3) She conked you with a rolling pin (a little too hard because this isn't your first offense) and your still unconscious and miss the run.
4) You just simply call the wife from a public phone saying your business meeting got held over/missed flight/lost ticket/etc. etc and you will see her Monday : Thus joining us for the detail session
5) You get "The look of death" from the wife so you knuckle under and say "Yes Dear, let's go buy shoes for you and the kids".
6) TBD

 

Clyde, you're going to insult the NSX folks by calling them Nissans! They're Acura's...or Tiny Honda's! ;-)

 

You hit the nail on the head my friend... ;-)

 

i can't believe i'm on a FERRARI board and there is all this talk about a "detailing day" over a high speed cruise...so sad...hopefully one day these F-cars will wind up in the right hands and be used for what they are truely meant for...

 

whatever charlie....u dont know what the EC plaYas all about.

i bet i got more rock chips, dings, scraps on my car than urs

 

my bad

 

Get the impression this is one of Rob's friends?

 

6 posts, and already an outcast with the EC crew.

That's gotta be a record.

 

once a Mook.....always a MOOK!!!

 

Werd!

So, final is that we meet up at Hubi's at 415 east 37th street (between 1st avenue and FDR). What time?

 

8:00am was Vik's suggestion.

Yep.....No hemming & hawing Vik. You comitted going several pages back.
