Well you already have. Maybe you should edit the post and remove their name. On second thoughts, leave it there so we all know how unhelpful they are.

Jetwash it is then!

Havent had a chance to use it yet (will hopefully try today if i get a chance to clean the car). Anyone used one? What do they think. Looks pretty cool on the autoglym website.

FD
I was quite tempted to buy one of those flexi blades FD, but then it got more warm & breezy so I left it.
Might get one this weekend though!

I'll bring some Autoglym & Meguiars stuff with me as well to share.

Lots of talk of clean cars! Well, I'll make sure I put the car through the car wash before the day, but that'll probably be it Have a fair amount of Autoglym stuff but haven't used it on this car yet, only on the Mazda.

Perhaps we are sounding more like the 'detailing' Americans!

I don't think anyone will mind, as long as he promises to wait for us all.

Viv, feel free to try out my Flexi Blade at Donnington if you want to see what it is like before you outlay the cash. Another day has passed for me unfortunately without a chance to wash the car, so I still havent used the blade myself.

If everyone turns up & brings one other person, we're talking ...er...36 people!

So, we're going to have to sort something out for entertainment.

Views please- what would you like to do after meeting up at Donington:


  • Visit the Grand Prix Museum
  • Go to a pub for a drink / meal
  • Go for a curry / Chinese / Indian later on
  • Go clubbing it on the night
  • Something else- ?

Either the Museum or the Meal for me - Done the Museum before - very good. I think its going to depend on the weather - if its p**sing down then it may be wise for the pub meal?? Will bring some wheel cleaner and a wheel brush.

Floyd, are you kidding. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say we would like you to come. Another E90, driven by one of our brethren from across the pond sounds great! Where have you got to drive from if you decide to join us? There are a couple of convoys which are getting organised which you would be welcome to join.

I think I agree Paul. Would be nice to have a night out but that would require staying over in a hotel, and dont think there is anywhere decent around. Maybe save a full night out for the next meet. Think it would be good to spend the day down there and have a meal in the evening. A Ruby would always go down well. Cant do too much drinkin of course as we all need to get back!
