Dear Chicagoland,

Thanks so much for your hospitality and education. Although I "got a yearn'g to be turn'g", that Flex did not make it to Iowa.

Thanks again to Ivan and everyone else who made this happen.

I wish you could have been there too. I would really like to shake your hand

Thanks to everyone that help put this together. I had a great time and learned a lot.

Ivan thanks for letting us use your shop and sharing some tips with us. Forrest thanks for the products and I will be picking up some mothers polish.

Can't wait to have another get together great to meet fellow autogeeks.

First I would like to give a big shout out to Ivan for hosting this event and Forest and Garry Dean for the great products on hand to try out along with the free samples. We did end up with 10 members by the end of the get together. It was great to meet the forum members and share both products and knowledge with one another. If I can get the grand kids to give me a hand I will try and post a few of the pictures that I took today. Again I had a good time and look forward to doing more of the same when possible.

Paul, I checked out Garry Dean's website, very inspirational story there, the guy is confident in his business and it really helps to put that much effort, time and money into the business, the guy has a shop AND is mobile, awesome and then there's the issue of him having his own product line to his own specs, icing on the cake. After checking that out last night I will getting some of his products for spring clean up 2013 for sure, not to mention some CC Blacklight, that product finished so nice!

Also big thanks to Forrest for providing the Mother's samples/prizes for us, I'm going to try out that synthetic wax as soon as its warm enough, can't say I've ever tried Mother's wax but I'm sure they make a solid product, you have to nowadays, that's for sure!

At our detail day you got to try products from "the little guy" and the "big guy", one more reason why its nice to have things like this, you get to try out both products, side by side and take them home and try em' out for yourself too.

Ofcoarse none of this would be possible w/o Ivan stepping up and offering his shop, for longer than he said mind you and we all appreciated it....BIG TIME! Also, thanks to Underground Racing as well, hope to meet some of them at some point next time as well. I'm going to start a pic thread if there isn't one already started, haven't gone out to see if we've got one yet.

Here are a few pictures I took there will be many more to come I saw quite a few cameras flashing.

From left to right, Ivan, Paul, Larry then who is who?

[Ivan Rajic]

Had a great time meeting everyone as well and trying out a few products I never got a chance to try before, mainly the Meg's 101 and the Dynabrade attachment.

As I said before, I just provided the space, didn't host much of anything . We'll definitely plan on doing this a few times a year, if anything to have a bunch of like-minded individuals hanging out.

PS...Did Ivan show up?

I just have to ask why you're wondering if I showed up? When I first saw the question, I thought for a second that somehow you were with me drinking Sat night and were asking as a joke because you know who drank a bottle of tequila by himself .
