Thanks Josh and John. I'll give them a call(How much they run?). Do they have rental company nearby? Regards. Mike PS- Josh how's the GT2 doing?

Hey Mike,

John may correct me but I believe a full detail is in the range of $500-600. Diablo is right near downtown Mountain View and the Caltrain station is walking distance.

The GT2 is great. I just turned 12.5K miles!! Lets get together soon.

BTW how was the first track event??

mike, i had one of my C4S done by izzy. it was an easy color (silver). he chared $700, needed a lot of buffing due to OEM paint problem. he doesn't have a set price per se. he wants to see the car first and then give you the estimate. a friend of mine had his zanzibar red C4S done for $750. he went off T8 at WS the car was covered in dust in and out. izzy made the car new again.

Well Josh-!st track event was with NASA 2 weekends ago for 2 days which was uneventful-no spins plus I was in intermediate group so it was a learning experience with how the car behaved. Car gives alot of feedback so amount of steering/throttle adjustments to rotate the car is numerous. Brakes were phenomenal. Then I went with Speedventures this last weekend for 2 days driving between intermediate/advanced and boy what alot of tracktime compared to NASA. Spun about 3 times during the 2 days(scary on a wet track first day, first session). Nothing damaged but very dirty. Definitely alot more cars with speedventures were really excellent drivers. We got to meet up at some point : ). Mike

John it be awesome to all meet up at event. Given that its Thanksgivng weekend there wasn't many cars. It averaged out about 10 cars per group. I must have driven at least 4 hrs per day which was great but got tired at the end(wiuth NAsa-only 4 sessions at 2o minutes each). Next year : ). Mike

Oh John I meant that alot of the drivers at Speedventures were really skilled. There were really few cars. Head-On-Photos had so much time on there hands they taken about 100 pictures of my car : ). Regards. Mike

Mike, check out Cailfornia Detailing on Fell between Gough & Octavia. I took my 996 there before I sold it and they did a nice job. I think they charge around $300. Call Jim @ 626-3691. Now that I think about it, you may have a problem clearance-wise getting your car into their shop (it's on the 2nd floor)...

Josh, when are we going to see you at the track?

josh_o

Good question Holger. At this rate I may be choosing between the track and my job. Tough decision....

Hope all is well.
