Default Let's see your spring roll-out pics

It's that time of year for those of us in snow country with plenty of time during the winter for Porsche projects to spend a weekend day claying, polishing and waxing. Let's see your spring cleaning pics.

No way. I consider that 17 year old original paint 'patina'. Enough cleaning and work all winter, it's time to drive it and a few DEs at MMP.

Yeah, Doug... you're probably right.
Getting that underside sparkling would be good enough for most folks, anyhow - yes, sir...

The topside? Well... getting that, too, wouldn't just be for anyone -- it's a mighty particular area.

Gee Lonnie, I'd really like to let you buff out the paint but see, the wife is real particular...
I suppose though, I could maybe talk her into letting you do it.

First time I've seen it in the sun in five months. It's a good feeling!

Just got mine out today for a short (gentle) run to get the oil moving and fill it up with fresh gas.

I'll change the oil, washer 'er up, and takes some photos this weekend (wife/weather permitting).

Here are some pics of my car at a local dealer for a PCA clinic.
I took my 3yr old son with me and he loved looking at all the different Porsches.
Actually when the service tech took the car for a test drive my son just about started crying 'cause he thought the tech was not going to bring "his" car back.
