cmcveay Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Last year, a bunch of us met up at Mark and Ali's place in Annandale to wash and wax and detail our rides before we headed to the Dragon. Lona and I would like to host this year's pre-Dragon detailing party. 5200 Lindsay Street Fairfax, VA 22032 Saturday, April 28th, 2012 10:00 a.m. --- until??? We'll provide the hoses, the water, buckets, a wet/dry vac and outlets if you plan on running a buffer or some other device. Baked on brake dust? I've got a power washer for you. We'll also be able to provide a table or two for your detailing supplies. RSVP and if you can give an estimated time that you'll be coming by, we'll know if we need to order food. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
cmcveay Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 Looking forward to seeing lots of shiny cars! The weather looks perfect for this so keep your fingers crossed! If anyone has a small table they can bring, it will help with workspace. Bring grilling food if you like but plan on taking leftovers home with you 'cause we don't want them to spoil! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Should I bring Rob, my Random Orbital Buffer? If it's sunny I plan to also treat the Tigger's top Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
GreenCactus Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 I can bring my random orbital, too. Ali - I owe you an interior detail, so I'll bring all of my leather cleaning stuff.
Brian0758 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Ali - I owe you an interior detail, so I'll bring all of my leather cleaning stuff. I saw her interior leather when we installed the harness and you might want to retract that offer or plan on a long day 2012 Jeep Rubicon

GreenCactus Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Don't worry, I'll make the back seat look like new. Craig - if it happens again, we'll confiscate Tigger and make her drive a Smart.
cmcveay Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 If she keeps doing that, we'll take the MINI and make her drive a Yaris! I wouldn't want to abuse a SMART car like that either. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

cmcveay Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 WE are mean? who spilled green slime in the back seat of their car and didn't clean it all out? Laura offered to clean it for you - that's awfully nice of her and I I put dynamat in there to help the noise for you.

Poison Ivy Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Keep it coming guys, I don't want to do work and want this week to go by faster...

cmcveay Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 Keep it coming guys, I don't want to do work and want this week to go by faster... Same here. Just found out I have a 2:30 meeting today. Who in their right mind schedules a meeting for 2:30 on the Monday before the Dragon! Don't these people realize there's a major life event coming up and I just don't care about their meeting today or the rest of this week for that matter? 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Don't these people realize there's a major life event coming up and I just don't care about their meeting today or the rest of this week for that matter? Yeah, I have work to do, but I'm just not interested in it. Who cares about invoices and contracts when there are MINIs to be detailed, bags to be packed, drives to be planned. Seriously, this week is the worst. The weather isn't helping, either.
cmcveay Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 Well, at least I have class assignments to distract me some of the time. I won't complain about the weather - we really, really need the rain - but it is cramping my style a little. I may be taking a silver roof rack to the Dragon if I can't get it outside to spray it! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
Poison Ivy Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 To make matters of not wanting to concentrate, there's a vendor selling high quality remote control helicopters this week. They are so cool!

Poison Ivy Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 I was already thinking about that. Then we could really take a good panoramic photo.
Bert Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Very harsh but we might have to come up with a monitoring or probation plan. MINI abuse is serious. They do have feelings. I shouldn't talk... after leaving the dealership this past Saturday, I stopped at an Advance Auto to pick up wiper blades for the Jeep. I got back into Ernie and noticed that I had tracked yellow gum onto his nice, new, black floor mat. I did get it off with napkins, then iced it at home, and then some Goof-off spray gel. Still not as bad as a veggie drink across the back seats. :ahhhhh: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
GreenCactus Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 As long as Ali doesn't continue to spill green goo in Tigger, we should leave her alone. She did try to clean it. I've seen far worse MINI-crimes commited. Wheels that have never been cleaned, never driving more than 40 mph, etc.
Bert Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 It was an accident, not abuse. There was no intent to harm. (That is the lawyer in me.) We will help you get the goo out. I'll bring a bio-hazard suit and respirator mask. One question... has it gotten fuzzy yet? Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
