And this is what I got to see...

And you can see mine in the background on this one bowing down to the r8 in the foreground.

A good day I'd say.

Been to their facility in Indiana--good people there---like to see the 'new' building out in Wa. state. Mr. Griot has some very nice vehicles!
 
I'm a big fan of the size of those parking spaces. Doubt there are too many door dings that occur while parked there.

I go there regularly to pick up orders. They have had a few "Tech sessions" that I have been to as well. I would like to see the Wa facility though.
 
I was there in November. They had several Porsches on display. I was surprised to see swirls in some of them. I don't think they were owned by Mr. Griot though.
I wandered through the store until my wife dragged me out as I was kicking and screaming.
 
I have yet to see him there... Would love to talk with him about the possibility of a job there ;)
 
Am rather jealous right now. Had planned on getting out there for the grand opening last year, and had to cancel at last minute. It was to have been a fun weekend for me. I have been with Richard in Indiana--we have vintage raced at Rd.America same events at Kohler International, tho it took Indiana to meet up. Very interesting and kindly, if not humble fellow who started simple, small and has been committed to making things easy and systemitized for the detailer who wishes good consistent results. Yup, those parking spaces are just fine. Hats off to some good planning.
 
Those parking spaces are quite amazing... however, if you are the unlucky one to get there late then you'll be forced to use the spots farther back which, while still wider than normal, do not have the door cushion you see in the above photo.
 
apparently tapatalk hosting is only good for one day... hang on i'll post them up again in a few

Door dings are pretty lame especially if the jackass swing hard enough and leave a dent/paint transfer.

I've actually hunted a car down that left a dent in the old RAV4 and left a nice message on his RAM truck.

Tapatalk hosting is frustrating... luckily flickr is a little more user-friendly. Pics are back and quite larger in size.

Oh! I so love that parking space!!!

I'd definitely take my G-queen there! lol
 
I know this is a little off thread but I noticed Griot's products being sold at Autozone last week. There was a big end of aisle display. Not sure if this is new or not but I never noticed them before. Could come in handy in a pinch. //bluegoose//

Autozone or Advance? Supposedly some AAP around the country have such a display, but nothing within 400 miles or so of me.
 
Was actually Advance (I always mix them up) now that I think about it. My bad. //bluegoose//.
