sorry i cant make this one i am going to festival of speed !! thanks for the invite tho!!!!!!!!!!!

 

no can do either, but it would be nice. my car does need a good detail.

 

Thanks for the invite, wish I wasn't out of town. Proper auto care is the best.

 

Man I wish I had more advanced notice about this or I would attend

 

Yeah, I'm sorry about the late notice. If any of you can make it out and don't have time to go thru paypal, you can show up at the event and pay Phil there. You need to be there by 8am though because they are doing the drawing for the car to be detailed at 8:30am.
We also have some people coming from Suncoast Z Club with some older Z's as well. It will be a great event if any of you can make it out.

 

I would have probably went to but I just got back from the festival of speed. We have a good handful of cars on the yard.

I was originally suppose to demonstrate a few polishes for autogeeks detailfest today but injured myself and couldn't attend.

Anyone in the Tampa area that missed the show but interested in hands on training we do offer such sessions that don't have to break the bank. Of course this is intended for pretty intense diy'ers as you should have all your own supplies and machines for your future detailing ventures.

 

It was a great turnout. I posted some pics on this page about half way down. http://www.350zclubofflorida.net/sho...p?t=268&page=2

I will definitely let you guys know when we do this again, with an earlier notice.
