Oh my gosh... Why am I just now seeing this???? I don't think I've ever seen a collection so exclusively filled with epic car icons. That was amazing.

Even two F1 cars; one from Lauda and another from Schumacher.

I wonder if he owns them all or if some of them are from clients on display?

"I'd never want to sell someone a crappy product" R. Griot

As a manufacturer, it's this kind of mindset makes me optimistic about the future of American industry

Great video thanks for posting!

Imagine if all of American industry followed W. Edwards Deming's words of wisdom. The rest of the world would be in serious trouble.

That said, I wanted to buy Griot's small buffer, but unfortunately too many threads discussing failures. I'd like to see a Flex in the 3 inch size.

... yes, like a Maritime Blue 964 Speedster. I was just remarking how rare that color is for North American import 964's .. although it was a standard offering on R.O.W. cars, it was only paint to sample for North America. I think it's my favorite of all the Jelly Bean blues ...

We here in the Tacoma area get to visit his showroom. He switches it up, sometimes heavy with Porsches, sometimes not.

I have both of the electric polishers, haven't had issues, though the 3" gets the least use. It's just for small areas, and I probably use it to polish my stainless sink more than the cars.

He has several Porsches, and a few cool race cars.

I've taken a few pics of them over the years, if any of you guys want I can get certain pics of this stuff. The store is about 5min from my house, and his house is about 15min away. Lets just say, his garage is the coolest of all time!
