Title: The value of getting together...
Post by: Ulf on June 21, 2012, 15:07:44
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a very local "tire-kicking" event here in Copenhagen, we were only 5 cars, but the value of getting together locally was immense - both in terms of the social aspects (has yet to meet a Pagoda-owner that I didn't like), but also the exchange of practical tips - like using Cillit Bang to clean whitewalls and regular car wax to keep them looking clean (didn't see that advice coming) + lots of extra practical stuff. I was a little anxious that my car wouldn't be as nice as the others, but the 5 cars ranged from a VERY nice restored example to a scruffy, but completely original and charming daily driver. I am a lot happier and relaxed with my own car now...
So while this big international forum is a great tool, I can only recommend also getting together locally once in a while :-)

Totally agree.  I just attended the June Jamboree in MB USA HQ last weekend.  There were about 7 Pagodas there.  Amazing to compare and learn what is right and what is something to add to my list.  Need to do that more often.

Agreed!  We get together at least twice a year in Sarasota/Clearwater.
