Sam...I have found it easiest to download pics to Photobucket...( it's free )....Then all you have to do, is click the image tag, and copy to your post !!!!

Denny, thanks for your help, but I'm not very computer literate. What I need is to have someone come over and go through it step by step!

20 minutes !!!!!! with a "Brush" !!!!!!! OMG......I spent 8 hours on mine yesterday, with a microfiber towel, ( also pulled the wheels ) and another 2 hours today, on the interior....Tomorrow afternoon it gets a couple of coats of Zaino....probably 2 or 3 more hours !!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. 20 Minutes with a "brush"?

On my way home via US RT 50 I got "clobbered" with some heavy thunder storms that caused mud and debris to wash across the road. I changed the oil last night after turning 105,000 miles on the way home and still have to wash "my baby" inside and out. Time to spend some time on the leather, etc.
1. Actually got around to washing it today; did it in 15 minutes, including wheels, using pre-soak, then foaming brush, high speed wash, rinse, then spotless rinse; could have done it in 13 if I had to! Ha! I know I'm a disappointment to all the car-freaks; I'm just a wanna-be car freak, but, my S2 was the most beautiful car in the teacher's parking lot at Adult Evening School!!!
2. I let one of my former students who I spent the night with for the weekend (he's 50, and his kids are out of college, man, I must be getting old), and he was so impressed with the car, loved the "start" button!

Gary, you aren't a disappointment to us "car-freaks". We just have so much love for our S2000s we baby them to keep them looking good for as long as we own them. They are almost like pets to us, instead of just transportation. The soft top takes extra care to keep it from getting premature tears.

Sylvia & I got home yesterday (Tuesday) after visiting relatives in Ohio and Pittsburgh. Had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new.
Jonas, you did a fantastic job setting it up. Thank you and all of your helpers. Hope to see many of you at Gettysburg.
And thanks to Rt 26 for again being one of the best roads in the east.
Tom
P.S. Fantastic pictures. Thanks to our great photographers.

1. I'm still laughing about the "pets" remark; that does put it into perspective that I can understand, ha!
2. I'm much more attentive about the top, and putting the 303 on it; I'm hoping since I got a hardtop that I won't have to replace it for such a long time I won't mind doing it, ha! When I bought my 04 a year ago, it only had 8745 miles on it, so it sat protected from the elements all the time, I'm hoping.
