Anyone not going on the factory tour interested in a June club run? Nothing real elaborate, maybe over 84 through Woodside to the coast, then up to that pub in Half Moon Bay for lunch and a pint or two, then back to siilyvasation over 92.

Also, have any of the guys had the crystal guard treatment done? Or used the stuff they bought at the DIY party. The Red baron's going in for the treatment next week and I was curious to know if anyone had it and how they liked it

[SFJAMES]

William, whats up? My family and I are down for a cruise, have a date in mind?

[larry paquette]

OK Bill lets do it !! I've been on vacation . I needed it after the b-day run, sorry you couldn't make it. How about a Saturday ; ) ? The 19th's booked other than that next weekend or the 26th looks good . Want me to make up a route and some maps . Who wants to go ? I'll see about some raffle prizes from EASTBAY MINI . MMMMM sure am thirsty. MMMMM pints.

Hi larry, I figured pints would bring you out of the woodwork The 26Th works for me. How about you SF James? Sorry Joanie, but the 2 dates you're available I'm not, but there's always July

Larry, I figured the East Bay guys could meet at the parking lot behind Penny's at Southland about 9 o clock. Then over the San Mateo, picking up any SF or peninsula troops at Crystal Springs around 10:00. Then down 280 to Woodside, over the hills to the coast and up to Half Moon Bay. If this works for you and you want to map it, that would be most cool The raffle sounds good too Yeah, sorry I didn't make the Bday bash. Life was full of surprizes in May. Be good to get out and have a little fun C'mon NorCal guys and gals, MOASF gang too, or anyone else that wants to have a short run, some good beer and conversation

[larry paquette]

Hyper SPRITE Don't worry we will be there its on the event sched. JOANCME We are going on a saturday run for the members who work sundays . Trying to make all the kids happy . Can you make the 26th ? oops NASCAR. go girl !!!
BILL the 26th it is. Your times look good . that will give me time to set it up. Want to meet at Val's in hayward before ?

[William Courant]

Sounds like a plan Larry. Will meet ya at Val's at 8, as per our talk last night Anyone else out there?????

[Kurtster]

I won the crystal guard stuff at the last run and I wasn't happy with the first time I used it. If you don't rinse it a second time, it leaves splotchy marks where you used the soft cloth on it. I'll try it with the second rinse next time but if I had to decide, I'd say Mcguyers Quick detailer stuff is just as good and a lot easier to apply since it can go on when the car is dry.

I'm also interested in this run to Half Moon Bay.

[William Courant]

Thanks for the info Kurtster. I had the same result with Klasse shortly after I got my Mini. It was hard to put on and get off without blotching and streaking plus bird droppings went right through it. Went to Muguires Hi Tech liquid yellow and love it. Goes on easy, wipes off easy and lasts.

I won the pro applied treatment that day but, I've always been a wax guy (no abrasives) as opposed to the sealer treatments. Was curious to know if anyone out there had the pro treatment done, how they liked it, durability, protection, etc. Hate to turn down a $500 paint protectant, especially since my Min is totally Chili red, but don't want to put anything on that's not going to do the job and is a pain to maintain. At any rate, thanks for the reply See you on the June run and we can compare notes

[joancme]

I'll be at the MOASF meet in Hayward......you guys have fun on the 26th! I know I'll be having a blast at NASCAR!!!

Hi all if you see me at the 26th run I will have some wax that Meguires just sent us . It's a new product that leaves a nice shine and goes on easier than most. FREEBIE !!!!!

[SFJAMES]

26th sounds great to us. Lets motor. Where do we meet?

JCampos, you coming over for this?

[William Courant]

Larry and I figured we'd pick the SF and any peninsula guys up at Crystal Springs around 10:00. Haven't had many responses yet so it may be a small group but what the hay!!
We'll motor anyway

[WENZOR007]

I am in for the June Run!

[William Courant]

Anyone interested in the run on the 26Th, the times and places are posted on thread # 6 for the East Bay guys and the SF and peninsula crowd. Larry and I are gonna meet at Val's in Hayward at 8:00 for breakfast, pick up anybody else in the parking lot behind Penny's at Southland, then meet the rest at Crystal springs. Looking forward to a good day
