Jim, list here also includes folk from the Tri- State Site. At this time it looks
about 13. Then again there will be last minute drop outs and those that
may turn up unexpectantly. The most we have had at a meet is 18, which is quite good for Rx-8's.

I am sure it will be a great day!

15 or so people is what I was expecting. Is anyone bringing their wife or kids? I just talked with the guy at the Englewood shop and told him to get enough pizza for about 15-20 people....

philodox 08-26-2004 03:00 PM

Doesn't look like I'll be able to go on Sunday... I'll be spending the morning flying, then the late afternoon putting in my exhaust.. just got the Borla Cat-Back.

Actually from previous events girlfriends and wifes have been taging along - no kids as yet. I would say 15 - we also have the weather for it!

Excellent Demo / Top Notch Facility - THANKS!
 
Just a quick message...

We had a nice turnout for the Crystal Guard demo. Jim from Crystal Guard flew out from California to give the demo, and Brett Simon opened his shop to host the event. Both of these gentlemen are super people, and made it a terrific event. Several products were raffled off - including bottles of the Quick product, and the grand prize of a highly discounted professional application of the product. I'll post some pictures as soon as I sort through the 80+ for a couple of good ones. Congrats to Bill and Ron for having their cars in the shop for the demo application. Brett's shop is fantastic, and was large enough to host the two demo cars (and three other cars), with room to spare.

Special thanks to Brett for showing me what can be done with a little wet-sanding and polishing on my car to hide the key scratch.

Pictures will come soon...

JSE RX-8 08-29-2004 04:50 PM

Yea i can second that. the turn-out was a good one and the Jim and Brett were very helpful. Brett showed us a few things to help maintain the car (including a clear bra piece for Midlife8 which was nice) and Jim demo'd the crystal guard product nicely. the two cars looked amazing. can't wait to see some of the pics w2aew. i still cant believe you got off 80+. i took about 30 lol

Chino075 08-29-2004 05:00 PM

Very good meet and very informative in how to care for the car. Jim and Brett were great, answering all our questions. 80+ pics!!! Dang.....thats alot, lol. But gotta admit watching them removing the layers of zaino from Bill's car was funny. The final results were very nice, esp. Ron's velocity red!!

Al

*runs off to put his first application of CG on his blue..........*

Black-dragon 08-29-2004 05:30 PM

Yeah they were teasing me about the wax, but oh well. Hey, we found out the black has metallic flakes in the paint like the other ones, but after the 2 hour ride home my car still looks like its just been waxed and I didn't have to do a thing. I love this stuff!!!!

w2aew 08-29-2004 05:40 PM

OK - well, of the 84 pictures I took, 76 of them are good enough to keep!!! Of those, I picked out 11 pictures to put here - so here goes...

This first set is the "before" pictures, and in-progress. Ron's red 8 and Bill's black 8 are the subject cars. The in-progress shot shows Jim from Crystal Guard working on Ron's car, and Brett (Englewood Auto Spa shop owner) working on Bill's car. Also included is a shot of Brett installing the ArmorGuard clear-protector on Ron's hood.

It was great to see Ron & Donna, Mark, Alvaro, Bill, Adam, Feras, Justin and Kel.
