Looks like a good time! Wish I could have made it, would have been a nice goodbye road trip in the car..I spent my last weekend apartment hunting with my brother in law instead. 
Maybe next year in whatever car I wind up with!

I think there are a few more to post pictures - there was a lot of water splashing around.
It's brutal on the shop - the floor gets all kinds of bad metallic chemical sludge all over it and the lift gets soaked - including the anchor bolts. I had to cover everything in plastic, but stuff still got wet ... Its definitely something that I would not do too often, so I figured lets do a lot of cars at once. Glad I did it, there seemed to be at least 8 happy dirty faces. :-)
There is a side benefit of course - now when they show up with their car to get some work done, its much nicer!
Cheers,
Mike

Mike, Thanks for moving some of my photographs over to Rennlist! There were a few of Gary and others in action with the pressure washer if you have time to move as well. Thanks again for everything!
.....I always miss this shin-dig!

Good call
Clean up afterwards must have been... extensive

Oh, we also seem to have a few "leftovers"
- Someone left an old pair of loafers by the bathroom sink - it looks like someone changed and left the shoes
- Someone left a brown pair of reading glasses, looks like the off-the shelf variety, power +1.50
- Someone left one gallon of Simple Green untouched (Stealth 993 - ask him if he wants it back)
- Someone left a blue plastic water bottle
cheers,
Mike

I doubt Dean will want the Simple Green back, but I'll ask him, if so, he can grab my water bottle. I also left some junk at his place.

Sorry been busy. Had a great time!! It was fun getting a little more cosmoline off the bottom of my car. Good thing I went last, helped to clean up some of the crud left on the floor.
Traffic was HORRIBLE going home, took me a little over 5 hours! My check engine light turned on right after the border crossing. Car drove fine. When I checked it, turns out, Dean did forget to connect something, my intake tempo sensor. The code was for that, & some misfires, but i think the hot weather & disconnected sensor were the issue.
Mike, up for another 30k serivce in a few months?

Nice shots Mike! I will put your water bottle (and the Simple Green) away somewhere so you can claim it next time you are up. Might even dump the water so you do not have a putrid mess later... lol!
Cheers,
Mike
