Exciting news!
I've been hearing about Automechanika for years... starting with Barry Meguiar's and his trips with a team of staff from Meguiar's attending the show. Never been myself till this trip.
I'd like to say THANK YOU to SONAX and FLEX for sponsoring this trip as well as Bob McKee and Autogeek for their support and allowing Yancy, Nick and I the time away from our normal job duties to attend the show as well as take tours of the FLEX plant and the SONAX plant.
Thank you!
And yes, between the three of us you can expect to get a virtual tour of,
- Automechanika
- FLEX Corporate Offices and their manufacturing plant
- SONAX corporate offices and their manufacturing plant
I've seen a lot of people attend Automechanika over the years but I've
never seen a full write-up sharing pictures for everyone else's enjoyment. I'm happy to say that's not how we roll here at Autogeek. So you can bank on seeing pictures we post in real time to Facebook and the AGO forum and also a full write-up after we return.
Our trip begins this Saturday after the Tech Session at Autogeek's Cars & Coffee Car Show. Our Cars & Coffee car show is always the second Saturday of each month, (that's this Saturday), and our Tech Session is held inside the cool, air-conditioned Show Car Garage start at 9:00am and going to around 9:30am.
After wrapping up the Cars & Coffee car show we'll be heading to PBI or Palm Beach International airport for the first leg of our journey. Our jet leaves PBI at 1:30pm and gets into Atlanta International Airport at 3:30pm. We leave Atlanta at 5:40pm and get into the Frankfurt International Airport at 8:45am German time which is approximately 6 hours ahead of the East coat in America.
