Well, it has since been suggested to my parents by Mr. Thomas (tdekany) that I would love them very much if they bought me a rotary ;) . So because I never pass up a chance to meet new people and have fun why not learn to use a rotary with some awesome people-Autopians!



I don't expect a rotary anytime in the very near future (might even be spring? Who knows?), but are there any VA members (Maybe even MD/N.C. if you're willing to drive a bit) that would be interested in participating? This wouldn't be a "teach a little kid to use a rotary" day. It'd be something that everyone could benefit from, myself included :cool: A huge bonus would be finding someone with good wet sanding skills as well. :bow



I live in Virginia Beach, and I know of several other detailers in the northern VA/ Northern N.C. area. Can anyone think of a central location to use, should this happen? I would suggest my own home, but I want to avoid making anyone else drive too far.



Anyone interested?

I could also offer refuge here in Williamsburg (decent parking, 2-car garage). Will need some advance warning with classes etc...



Also, with my roommates, I have several untouched cars to work with:D
 
:D Two of the specific Autopians I had in mind ;)



Mr. Dan, if your room mates are opposed to having their car 'practiced' on, I don't think my parents would mind letting us use their '46 plymouth. :xyxthumbs



How 'bout Aurora40 ?
 
Where are you guys thinking of meeting up, and when? I suck with a rotary, just fyi. I'd be up for it if I can make the date. VA Beach is pretty far from me, though. Don't forget about Edwin/BlkZ28Conv.



That 4th poll option cracked me up. That's me! :)

Where specifically in VA are you? closer to the williamsburg area? D.C.?
 
i could probably make the logistics for a D.C.-ish meeting work. we have an apartment up there (dad works there during the week) but i'm not sure how much longer he'll have it. (he's supposed to be moving out in Nov.)



if D.C. cant work, something will. dad and i are logistics guys. thats what we both do (he works for DoD and I'm a BSA S.P.L.)
 
Thanks guys for the invite and remembering me Bob and Glenn. :bow

I can not commit at this time because of my schedule but keep me abreast because Va Beach / Williamsburg would be a nice getaway for a few days with my wife. She will probably Xmas shop while we're playing with our cars. ;)

Like me know when you decide on a date and location. :wavey
 
Get a little closer to Richmond and I would consider a run up from Wake Forest. Can't help with a rotary, but would be willing to load up the truck with the PC and my collection of "stuff".
 
would somewhere between richmond and williamsburg be decent for you guys?



i can't plan any weekends right now because i need to plan scout-outings too.



what time of the year would you guys prefer? blkz28conv reccomended something around Christmas time (assuming, since you mentioned the shopping).



does anyone have any good rotary skills? I can pack up my PC and 'stuff' as well, possibly to see the real difference btween the 2 machines.



Mr. dan, you dont know Keith Fischer, do you? he owns fischer auto body and paint, used to do work on the Grave digger. anyway, he and my dad are 'buddies' (i guess you could say that) and i could probably get some rotary experience at his shop.

I don't, but I always pass the Grave Digger place on the way down to Corolla, NC.
 
nope, wrong shop. i know the one you mean though. its got the grave digger on a concrete platform on the shops yard, right?



Aurora40, i wouldnt think Mosca would be up for a drive to nothern VA from PA for just a detail day. I guess it could also depend on where in PA he is.



If anyone else knows someone in the relative area, let em knpw. i normally dont like the 'more the merrier' thing, but in this case it just seems that it'd be more fun, and every one could throw in a bit of information to better the whole group:xyxthumbs .
 
it's a bit too far for me, I'm in Manassas, Va (40 mins west of DC), I'd like to meet with some other autopians if it's ever held closer to DC, there's noone I know around here.
 
well, i have a vote for something closer to Richmond VA, and about 4-5 votes for something in northern VA. I can't think of anything to please everyone, but i can try to get close to it. Would anyone be willing to make a weekend out of it, and tour the beach here on a 3-day weekend? Don't count on anything yet, I'm just throwing ideas out there ;) . Should this happen, everyone will need to compromise a bit and a little drive might be necessary. :xyxthumbs
 
I don't think I'd be able to make a weekend of anything. What about Charlottesville? It's sort of between Richmond and Manassas. And it's a nice drive down tree-lined Rt 29. I wonder if you could use some UVA facility? Crutchfield is also there, though I don't think they do a lot of car detailing stuff... ;)



Oh, adg44 is in Herndon. :)
 
Can anyone else put in a second for Charlottesville?



No problem about the wkeend deal. Like I said, i was just throwing out some ideas.



How far is Herndon?



BTW, would you really wanna drive your freshly Autopian-polished car through all of those sappy trees? ;)
 
Herdon's right near me, it's NoVA. I haven't seen adg44 posting online much lately, but maybe he's been busy with that red R32 he bought? You might try PM'ing him.



I drove the Aurora up to NJ to check out that Corvette. I'm sure some Bug Guard, QEW, and Last Touch could take care of any issues I encounter on the way. :)

anthony bought a R32?



I have to give him a call. We use to show our cars together.

Yes sir I did. Got pretty bored with the Audi, and got hooked up big time on the R32, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it. It's all that my old GTI was, and then some. :p



I'd be down for a little GTG, as I don't think any of us here have actually met each other before.



I'm down for whatever.... I'll watch this thread for updates.



Thanks for the PM alerting me, Bob. :up:
