[W126 Coupe] Hey Mike R!

[Mike R.]

Ellen,

That is amazing, but is it the great cars or great legs that are getting all
those trophy's!!?? Inquiring minds want to know! Congrats!!

 

I may not need detail lessons as I think I'm just going to dip the car in
Simple Green and wipe it off. That should work, don't ya think?? All right,
since I don't use my toothbrush much on my tooth, I'll start using it on the
SEC. It's shinier anyway (the SEC). I've done Field Day exercises (clean it
until EVERTHING shines) on nuclear submarine engine rooms - I know how to
detail!! My problem is going to be convincing myself that I want to put that
much effort out. :-)

 

Quick story - I worked at a shipyard for a while and took the new guy down
to see a couple of submarines. The new one looked like crap as it was still
being welded together and wired, but the one across the pier was in for a
refueling and was likely ten years old. The older one was clean enough that
you could eat off the turbines (or anything else in the engine room), but
the "new" one looked like a rust bucket. The poor boy was confused until I
pointed out that the shipyard needed to finish and paint the new one, then
the crew would go to work and actually get it clean and shiny. Instead of
toothbrushes, they let us use small paint brushes to clean, but the
concept's the same. Every nook, every cranny, all surfaces - either paint it
or polish it. At least this time I actually own the beast I'm polishing.

 

Later,

Mike R.

Hey Mike! 

You have some concours catching up to do. 

9/10    I took 2 cars to Tri O Rama in NC.....First Place and Best of Show. 

Yesterday at Deutsche Marque Concours in VA.....I took 4 cars and won 5
trophies in the series from First to Third, and Judge's Choice.  Yes, Star
Cruiser was in there in the mix.   
I saw 2 other DC area SEC's..........one guy with his Dad who never heard of
our group here, and another who departed as quickly as he came I never got a
chance to talk to. 

So..........you want Detail Lessons now? 

--Star Cruiser.
