I discussed this on the Italian Job thread. It was suggested I should start a new thread instead.

Anyone in MTL up for a little group wash & wax day next weekend (June 28th-29th) or after (July 5th-6th)? I need to give mine a good rub down. I got my MINI wax kit from Zymol over Xmas but never got a chance to use it. It would be a good time. 3-5 cars should be fun. I went to a great BMWCCA detailing session last year so picked up a lot of tips and tricks to make a car really shine. I'm sure everyone has there on little tricks. The thing is we need a place to do it. I live downtown so all I have is a low light garage and the super steep hill of St-Dominque before the Plateau. If someone lives in a quieter neighborhood or has a good size driveway step up. Once they are all cleaned up we can roll downtown and either have a barbeque at my place or I can talk to some of the restaurants on St-Laurent and see if they can arrange a spot to park all our cars and then eat there. What do you all think? Saturday's or Sunday's are good for me. You can always drop me an email amit@btqfuzz.com or call me 514-808-5848.

Cool! I'll be in Montreal that weekend of June 28/29 (but sans Mini). I'd love to see all the Minis in one place though

djafactor · Jun 20th, 2003, 10:17 PM

Sketcher we have the same color combo. Red/Black is the best

Almost as good looking as DS/W with a chekered roof!

Silvercooper · Jun 20th, 2003, 10:29 PM

Too bad I can't come, the forecast is sunny all weekend!

djafactor · Jun 20th, 2003, 10:47 PM

Silvercooper, I was thinking about June 27th weekend or even the weekend after. I'm heading for T.O. this weekend.

R U in? We can convince Eric for sure.

Amit

Silvercooper · Jun 21st, 2003, 01:22 AM

I'm free on that weekend so I'm in!!

but my driveway is not very large, one space only.

djafactor · Jun 21st, 2003, 02:30 AM

I have a friend who is a VW driver but has been drooling over MINIs. I think I can convince him to let us use his driveway. Otherwise we can do the wash at my girlfriends parent's place in Westmount and then drive down to the park to do the wax/detailing in the shade. what do you think?

Amit

Silvercooper · Jun 21st, 2003, 03:05 AM

Whatever suits you guys, I'm flexible!

Anybody else wants to join in???

djafactor · Jun 25th, 2003, 09:37 PM

I'm going out of town tomorow and friday. So Sat or Sun is good for me. VeryMini seems to be in along with Silvercooper. I'll talk to eric this evening. That will give us 4 cars. I would prefer to do it on Sun as i usually work sat mornings. It is best to wash and wax in a shade so we need to find a good spot. Anyone have any ideas?

i'm going to take a drive around this afternoon and scope it out.

Amit

snid · Jun 25th, 2003, 09:48 PM

Are 'mercins welcome?

I might be interested, assuming my MINI is out of the body shop. I'm getting tired of hearing "tomorrow".

I'm pretty clueless about Montreal, though (beyond the obvious tourist-y stuff).

djafactor · Jun 25th, 2003, 11:08 PM

snid,

of course. I'm an american myself, been in montreal since December. Drop me an email amit@btqfuzz.com. This is going to be fun

. What happened to your car? This weekend and next are going to be crazy here in MTL since the Jazz-fest starts this weekend.

If it's too tight to organize for this weekend we can push it to next weekend. What do everyone prefer?

Yeah, I noticed the conversation here was in English, so I figured I was safe

My MINI hit a moose on I-89 in Vermont 3 weeks ago. The thread on it is here:

Jason,

Glad to hear you are ok. Now I know my MINI is Moose Proof

Let me know if you can make it. Would love to have you here.

Amit

djafactor · Jun 26th, 2003, 06:20 AM

I have to go out of town on sudden business tommorow and probably will not be back till Sunday morning. Instead of rushing everything, I propose to plan for next weekend (July 5-6). This will give me more time to do some preparations and i'll plan a cookout at my place. I live on Sherbrooke & St Laurent so we can park our cars at my place, then either barbeque/or eat out and walk down to Jazz Fest a block away. Send me an email so we can coordinate.

I'll have my laptop with me then next couple of days while i'm away so i can still communicate

take care

Amit

Silvercooper · Jun 26th, 2003, 12:48 PM

That's fine Amit, we'll plan everything for next week-end. It would be great if Snid could still come. By the way Snid, how long is it for you to drive to Montreal? Are you near the border?
You will be able to practice your french with me and Eric (Spadsept) when you come to visit us.

Any of you guys going to Magog minimeet on July 1st?

snid · Jun 26th, 2003, 01:23 PM

I live in Burlington VT, so I'm about 2 hours from Montreal.

I hadn't decided on the Magog meet yet...

I may also have some conflict with July 4th (Independence Day) down here in the USA - I'm not sure if the festivities I'm expected to be at are on the 4th, 5th, or 6th... I'll find out and let you guys know.

My french? ummm... I vaguely remember something from high school. Of course, nothing useful. I'd try to type something, but I'd get it so wrong I'd probably be asked to stay here in Vermont.

Silvercooper · Jun 26th, 2003, 02:16 PM

Our cars are almost twins GordonD

What do the the Red/Balck guys have to say?

Must have been a lot of fun at Mosport? I would love to try my car around a track!

very mini · Jun 27th, 2003, 04:45 PM

I have to suddenly leave town as well this weekend. So see you the weekend after that!

And BTW, I'm sorry, but IB with Black rood is da best!!
