^^^ lotsie you're going to get a citation pretty soon from StLouisLo. hahaha!

 

after motoring my G this morning, i think im going to wash her
calipers and wheels. haven't "washed" the car in 1.5yrs.

i want to wash the back side of the wheels from all the buildup.

 

washed my G. looks great. blot dry with DP waffle weave is
awesome.

ended up just blasting the inside of the wheels and calipers with a hose.
used my shopvac to blow all the water out of the 3pcs wheels.... took a
while.

then SprayOn wax'ed it at the very end. looks fantastic.

 

^ That post is USELESS without pics !

 

im going to increase the positive offset on the front and will take some
picts later on. need to tuck the front a little more. too much
grip in the front while cornering.

 

I want to chrome my calipers. But black is probably more practical.

 

Chrome would look hot Mel!

 

i have no picture taking skillz... camera also sucks in bright daylight.

but can see that i went from +16mm to +26mm.

 

huh, that's unique. ive never seen chromed calipers.

 

Would kinda go with the chrome/black thing I got going on...

 

I've seen them at car shows. Mainly on Hot Rods.

 

The G is looking good, Ken !! Thanks for the pic.

It would look even better in Chili Red or Pepper White or Jet Black. But hey, can't have it all, right ?

 

Does that mean Clara would be a hot rod? Yikes!

 

Not by definition, but perhaps by shear attitude.

 

Well that's probably true anyway.

Maybe when I get my brakes redone...

 

Ahhhh..... so THAT's the fabled "G" I've been hearing about for the past year. Of course, you coulda gotten that picture anywhere on the Internet...

Looking good. Nice wheels.

 

thanks. yah, im glad we dont see too many
G35C's in this color. with a lot of used G's available these
days i see more and more rolling around. majority of them
are stock base models though, and AT.

thanks, blimey. too bad my signature detaiing talents
dont really show in the pict as proof.

 

i think i turned my friend into a PrimaHolic. Hydro, Nero, Slick.

 

Just got my gallon of Nero last week... so now my cabinet contains gallons of:
Slick (x2)
Hydro
Clarity
Nero

And smaller bottles of:
All of the above
Nourish
Mystique
Cut
Swirl
Finish
Amigo
Epic
Wheel Shield/Armor

So I think the only prima branded liquid I don't own is Glide... but my clay lube sprayer has 50/50 Slick/water in it...

Oh yeah, I don't have that PrimaBerry experimental strawberry flavored edible lube Nick and Heather are rumored to have limited quantities of... yet...

 

Here is what I did yesterday, check out the photo link in the post too;

I used to be a cross country ski instructor/coach, and gave clinics all the time. I have always found when I have to teach something, I learn more. It was a fun day.

that was pretty good turn out for the clinic Lotsie. that classic Mini was awfully nice. although i never was a fan of flames.

 

My older brothers, (apparently both comedians) called me this morning from WI. They are coming out to CA in May to visit me and wanted to know if they could borrow Clara for a drive up to the redwoods.

I hear some snickering from oldest brother in the background, and my other brother says "oh yeah...we'll take her through the car wash after..."

*dead silence*

*hysterical laughter from both brothers on the other end*

 

lol they know how to hurt ML when push comes to shove.

 

So you said????

Mark

 

LOL.... everybody's a comedian...

I had hoped the yellow haze would be over by the time I got back from Florida. We had rain off and on from when we got back on Thursday through Saturday. Then Sunday was a drying-off day. Yesterday, the haze came back. Today, it's warming up and it's back with a vengeance.

Damn pine trees.
