We haven't got long now and I imagine most of us will be spending the day before Marques in the Park polishing our pride and joys - Should we look at meeting up somewhere and helping each other out with hows, whys and why nots etc

If not the day before, we could choose another day/evening etc but need people there like Mick (Bullet32) to provide guidance etc and to hit us over the back of the head if we do something silly.

I'm sure some of you have some real handy techniques for doing this type of work and it would be fun... I'll even try hard not to put any sh!t on anyone >_< okay... we all know I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if there is enough room here at my place, but its a thought - open for suggestions!

I'd be interested depending on the day its happening.

Bah im going to have to get to canberra at some ridiculous time to polish it before Marques, bugger spending hours cleaning then driving down Barton HWY in the early morning >_<

I'm interested

However the day before I will be at a wedding so here's 1 vote for an afternoon somewhere >_<

I was actually going to take the Friday off and do it then... it's a good excuse as any

Hmm, are you sure that you want an EX detailer showing the tricks of the trade...

I might have forgotten everything, it was about 3 years ago :D

Anyone who turns up with Franjipani's will be asked to leave and not turn up to Marques in the park either...

Yes... we're sure we want you to show us the tricks of the trade... even if they are three years old

okay... I'll beg :DMick

Well... Since youre begging.....

I'll think about it. :P

Okay Michael... enuff thinking, where and when? Jeno/Jo might be able to organise underground car park access so we are in the shade, but there won't be power (??? do we need power???)

What do we need Michael? And what day, Saturday or Sunday?

Hi Mick,

As Ladybytes says we just need a time/date of your willingness and what you need us to bring "armor all" j/k.

My weekend, like a few others is on hold until we know when you would like to run this session. My GF will book me out if I don't get there first.

Thanks

I'll tell you what, you guys organise time and place and I'll tell you whether I can make it or not.

Bring any cleaning products that you want and I'll make sure that I tell you if its worth using or not, dont forget a chamois and rags.

Remember that a wash isnt a wash if it doesnt end with a good chamoising!

You wont need power / electricity unless someone needs their car machine buffed (and Im not doing that because it takes hours).

Remember that everyone will need to wash their cars to begin with so we'll have to meet up somewhere and then head off to a car lovers somewhere.

I think maybe meet at the museum early on Friday, 6:30 or 7pm, may give us some light left, or meet somewhere like Brindabella business Park or Brand Depot car park (nice and central) on Sat or Sun sometime.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
