Scavenger Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I've been waiting for the weather to improve more before bothering with wheels, cleaning, etc. Things are looking better now, any plans for Annandale area MINI owners getting together for a prep session? P.S. I'm not excluding non-Annandale area folks, I'm just looking for something close to home.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I have a hose and we usually have some open parking, we could handle a few cars (4 - 6) coming over and working in the parking lot. I can ask my neighbors if we can use their spots for a few hours so more then one car can reach the hose. Right in the heart of K-Town, but not exactly Annandale, we're in Alexandria near the Pinecrest Golf Course Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

cmcveay Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 The way it's looking, I could have LOTS of time for detailing next week. I may even resort to offering detailing for a small fee so I can keep the lights on and the tank full of gas! There's nothing like unpaid vacation time... a.k.a. Furlough! I do like the idea though! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Oooh yeah, Craig and I can start a detailing service during the government shut down. (like how you just got a partner Craig?) I will be working on Tigger sometime Sunday, others are welcome to come over and join me. I'll look at my schedule and see when will work. Probably in the afternoon. Celia is coming over anyway for me to sew her Shnuggie design so we could be detailing and sewing at the same time. Does Sunday afternoon work? If so, we can do that. Just PM me for my address as I don't really want to put it in the public forum. Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
cmcveay Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Ali, A good business partner is essential! Let's see, tires are shoes, brakes are socks so I guess I'm doing joint replacement surgery... My plan for now is to have Archi in the operating room (DIY Garage) on Sunday for new struts and I think Jim is going to meet me so Nigel II can have a transfusion (oil change) and swap out his Ugggs for a set of sandals... Oh, if the postal service is on time, Archi will also have a new voice box because Jim Carman is a badddddd, badddddd man.... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 I can do any day that the government is shut down. But on Monday I'm taking Max to Passport, so Mark will take Tigger to work. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Scavenger Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 What's Max going in for? I need to go in to for a few things too actually. I can do any day that the government is shut down.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 What's Max going in for? I need to go in to for a few things too actually. Mark gave me a list of little stuff Squeaky brakes (I guess they're really getting loud) a window that won't operate properly His grill is just broken in areas and it's never been hit (not sure if they'll cover that). Mark has a sweet deal, when Max has to go in, I give him Tigger and I bring Max in for him. When Max needs a good polish and wax, I do it.
