Whatever you decided to do Steve... we want some pics on your big day.
Good luck...
BTW I think 2 grey sounds good - even 1 black and 2 grey look awesome.

I'll even offer to polish both of our Ti Greys a few days before and QD on the day. So long as someone throws in a Latte in the morning :D

I told Steve it was a good excuse to have my car detailed (especially since it will have accquired some filth at the Nats). Assuming Steve wants 2 Ti Greys maybe we should book them in somewhere for a freshen up on the day, have that latte and plan precisely when the handbrake 180 should take place.
:D BTW, since you came late, you're stuck with the bride and her Dad (sorry Steve, but driving the bridesmaids around sounds so much more appealing).

Rev, I've been doing quite a bit of detailing myself lately and I'd back myself to do the cars.. I maybe a bit slower that a pro, but i reckon I can get at least the same or better results.. :p :p :p
All I need is a clean car to start with and I'm happy do the polishing myself.. I have both a rotary and DA machine polishers and I find finishing off with Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax give teh deepest wetest look.. a bit pricey.. but worth it imo..
btw.. are we required to drive them around as well..???

:p :D :D But we're jumping the gun a bit - Steve already has a black car and he might not want 2 greys.
Hey Steve, wanna make a decision before LJ gets any more excited about giving me a polish?? :p :p :D
I'm also thinking we'll need to work out a way to fit the white ribbon to the front of the cars.

I was thinking about having two Ti for a wedding and some how I don't think it will look all that good in the photos..
Grey is always a hard colour to make look good..
Pending on how other things work out..... will there be a show and shine comp at the nats??
If so, I think we should hook up and get your baby looking all that she can sometime over the next couple of weeks..
Will most likely be the only way I'll be able to participate in the Nats...

Sunday morning, the interstaters will want to get moving.
So all in all, not much of a chance to do that kind of thing. Of course, if there's enough people who are keen and want to make some time to detail their car down there, let us know and we can re-visit it.
Having said all that, have absolutely no objection to you helping me out with cleaning mine up beforehand. PM me with your availability and we'll sort something out.
And think positive - you may just get there afterall.

i would be stoked to have the two of you, if you guys are keen its a done deal as far as i am concerned.
i will provide the beers or lattes (for the ladies) and the polish
(not that kind ) and you guys can provide the entertainment by the sounds of it.then i can just get my friend with the black one to give me the keys to his at the reception for some burnouts
but seriously, i would be very appreciative if you both can do it!
as far as driving around i have discuss this with Dave, but its basically just pick up the girls @ north manly @ approx 3.30pm then drive to Mona Vale golf club chill there for 40min then go get some pics ect (headland, avalon not too far) then back to the golf club and thats it. should be done by 6pm at the latest
thanks Steve

LJ, I live at Allambie Heights so I'm thinking if you get there at say1.00-1.30 that will give us a couple of hours to detail both cars and then we can motor down the hill to Manly and pick up the girls. I'll have a think about the best way to stick the white ribbon on.
PM me and I'll give you the address, etc. Obviously, if you have any other ideas, let me know.

The way I polish.. it will take a little more than a couple of hours.. but hooking up at your place before sounds good. It'll give us a chance to do a quick detail. before we pick them up..
I was thinking if you could drop your baby off one night or day early that week (Sun PM or Mon am/pm) and I'll the full blown exterior treatment done on her. (Clay, swirl remove, glaze then wax plus tyre dress..) she'll be looking sweet all week and will only need a QD on Sat PM which will take about 30-45 mins
This will take a while, so prvided you are comfortable with it.. we can do a car swap.. or something..

Did I hear some1 call my name :D :D :D , Although I don't mind organising cruises at all as you know. Ummm I will be organising a cruise mid-november for our RX8 club 
. I could organise another one b4 that but I would not want to have numbers drop bcoz I have organised two cruises not that far apart, if you know what I mean . If people are interested I could organise it but hence Y I would prefer just 1. Don't get me wrong, im all up for as many cruises as possible but like i said I would not want to reduce number or cars when it comes to organising our RX8 Club Cruise that month.
Let me know the general consensus .
Regards,
Waldo/ZOOMBY/ZZOOM

Steve had a preference for 2 blacks.. atm Revovler and I have volunteered our Ti Greys.
The big day is the 5th of Nov... Even though Steve has accepted our offer, I won't be offended if he gives me the flick in favor of his prefered blacks
Even if my baby gets the flick... the exterior detail offer is still on the table..
