Good Morning All.

Got back from a recon trip to Austin last night. Kudos to the crew - smorice, guru, Ron, and ms. pint for a great ride yesterday.

We did an all day drive looking for some serious roads off the beaten path. It was a hit for the most part, with just one section we will need to avoid in the future.

Ms. pint did an awesome job leading the group to Lime Creek Road at the end of the day. Here's someone's youtube video of that drive:

Lime Creek Road - Austin, TX - 2010 Audi A5 Cabrio 2.0T quattro - YouTube

Will need to do more planning before a return to the area, probably focusing on the north side of town towards Marble Falls. We went west and south to try the Devil's Backbone near Wimberly, TX. It was a bit of a disappointment.

All-in-all, a great day driving Z's!

Was nice meeting you and the crew! Should have stayed another night though.


I'm trying to recruit someone to do a run with me on 1431. Was going to try to record it to help with your decision making. Still working on this.

It's Sunday and wash day for the 370 and the Juke. I love wash day.

The 50% chance of thunderstorms today is preventing me from washing my Z. Prob do it tomorrow instead.

I know you've told us about your auto finesse products, but please brief me once more. That video inspired me!

Which auto finesse products did you use to get your paint to this condition?

Great pics by the by!

The last stage protection used is AF Passion. For the full details refer to my correction thread, 370z - Correction detail (picture heavy)

You can PM me with your desired results and I can help with product choice. There are many great products out there, you don't need to stick with Auto Finesse, although Auto Finesse is to me what Michelin PSS is to Mr.onzedge.
