Meguiar's Open Garage - May 10th

We probably had our biggest turn-out tonight with around 20 people stopping by to work on their car and have some fun!


The garages were full with people working on their cars and so was our parking lot!




This is only a portion of the people that we're here with us tonight as by the time we took this picture a half a dozen or so people had already finished their cars and gone home!

Keep the $500.00 and show a few friends how to correctly remove below surface defects.

Yes, but remember I've been working since 6:30am this morning, and it took me over 2 hours to get home. It's after 1:00am and I'm going to empty the photos from my CF card to my hard drive and then select about 4-5 and the upload and post them... and then hit hay!

Hey Richard, Hi to you too Mike,
I see you made it to the Wed. night open garage. Were you working on your car or just helping out. Doesn't look like the Mini needs much work.
Have fun, see ya

Hey Mark!

One of our forum members, was in town, and our schedules coincided, so I came down to say hi, and check out the cars. Since it's a 3 hour drive for me, it's not very pleasant coming out on Wed nights.

re: MINI
Heh heh thanks. Nope, the MINI is doing fine. I just helped out where I could.
