Meetings, gatherings, parties etc / Re: High Wycombe Meet 17th August

« on: 17 August 2013, 23:52:40 »

Thanks again Tony and Chris for a splendid venue today - much appreciated. Unfortunately it seems that my intentions to demo car cleaning seems to attract the rain  - so again we only achieved the drivers side wing on Al's car - but the bar has been set and I shall be checking for updates and scheduling periodic inspections to see how it's coming along Al 
Great to meet some more new faces again and another variety of models on the showground  including the Bentley, Chevy and M3 - although maybe it was the presence of the two convertibles that brought on the rain  .
I think the live guitar performance by Al in the car park was a meet 1st and very impressive it was too - again the bar has been set  (no I can't play the guitar)
All finished with a rather nice curry 
Look forward to the pictures that anyone else managed to take - I'm not quite so sure about the video now 

Cheers
Ian.

You're welcome to practice on TBE, ianu, I'd like to see you detail that bonnet and front wings

do I need to add filler and a sanding block to my kit list then  - it's silver anyway isn't it, so it probably looks fine anyway

Whats all that about ? Some special treatment or something ? PM if you prefer

Hi Rog,
No special treatment as such. At an earlier meet at H/W I gave a demo on basic 'how to' car washing techniques with a bit of jargon busting and myth dispelling for any who had wondered what it was all about. Because of the weather it was a bit limited as we only managed to do part of a wing with the cleaners and polish.
I'd be happy to do the same again for anyone who missed it and is interested - I'm not a professional detailer - more of a very serious amateur that likes to spread the word  on getting and keeping that deep shine. No special tricks or allegiance to any one product - technique is 70% of the result I reckon 

Cheers
Ian.

Damn  I thought that maybe you had some magic "instant showroom" stuff or something    

..but that takes all the pleasure out of it doesn't it ??  or is that just me being a sad 'steward

count me in too.
Dare I say I'll bring all my kit and do a wash/polish demo if you like  - depending on the weather obviously. I'll offer my own to demo on - or if there is a likely candidate that would be prepared to sacrifice volunteer their paintwork - I'll see what I can do  .
Maybe someone could try and fix my airbag lamp 

look forward to it Tony..

Will that be with both cars again Tony  .
Gents - if you can nail the date and make it reasonably close to the M5 you've got a couple more customers potentially

Thanks Tooleater - it was such a bright day even the silver looked white (it was silver with silver alloys) - the white estate was quite blinding in the direct sun too

Sorry I've had to break this into 3 because of character limits I'm afraid.
The shortlist - there are a lot on here still  - so go and have a cuppa while it downloads. I manged to get it down to 50+  - even after removing all the ones of Tony's pair  .

OK so here we go. An excellent day again at High Wycombe with a very good range of cars. I think we managed every engine varient from 2.2 to 3.2 and a 2.5 TD aswell  .
Unfortunately I seem to have lost an Omega though  - I know it was in the pearlescent red and unless it's gone camouflaged it's obviously departed before I got my camera out - sorry I missed it - you know who you are  .

But unfortunately - Tony's 2 Divas just couldn't be avoided - so apologies for all the shots where his got in the  way  - they do look nice though..

No hanging around - straight in there..


1 bucket TB - could try harder on the wheels though 






Smug Tim's 2.5 TD - and its still a 6 though 


Contrary to first impressions - general consensus was that Josh's car was brown...and couldn't be polished 








Must admit prefer the look of the old interiors - this with Tims' turbo boost mods






Diva #2 with her top off..



How many Estates can you get in one shot without Tony's 2 





A colour...? 




zzzzzzzzzzzzz 




Complete with Herb Garden - very impressive..





Part 2 next

Part #2

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 





Just for you Tony.. 




This one actually doesn't look brown at all Ken..




Definitely the right way up - can you work it out ??


The incredible bending car....
















Diva #1 snook in the background again..










Paul - hope you've made a start on the rest of it now..the top of that wing looks good 





Dont you just hate it when a Diva car wanders across your shot....





Part #3 next
