I use Dave Ball at Roadrunner and am very happy with the work. That said Dave is a friend and works out of my garage in NE Portland so I am biased.

Happy to introduce you.

Sunset offered to do it, and not knowing anything, I did that. They sent it to Dave Ball. Convenient and all, but would have saved money by going to him directly. There's someone else with a Carmine Red on this forum who had Metropolitan in Seattle (?) do his -- from what I recall it was a bit more than Ball directly but they did more wrapping.

Dave at Roadrunner does some phenomenally detailed work. Never had the opportunity to have a personal car done but I've seem him in action and the end results.

The OP, mcdavis, had his GT4 done at Metropolitan. Saw that one in person and it's some amazing work as well. Don't think you can really go wrong either way.

Default Dionysos Leader

My car's on this boat -- think there were a few others on this board, too. Marinetraffic.com shows it sitting at anchor in San Diego. Been there for a couple of days. Anyone heard of delays getting into port and offloaded? Been pretty patient, but now that it's so close I'm starting to become obsessed....

Hey Bill,

I met you at AR couple weeks back, I'm the one getting a spyder... Anyway our boat is not scheduled to be unloaded until May 1st... Hopefully it goes quicker but that's why it's just sitting there. I am starting to get the shakes waiting for my car!!

Mine is on the Glovis Century and it arrived at the port on Friday, but didn't dock until Monday. Maybe the Dionysos Leader will take the dock position of the Glovis when it is finished? How long does the container ship usually stay before moving out?

Haha I get to quote myself... I just checked and the Glovis Century is now moving out of the port! Hopefully the Dionysos Leader will move in.

Now we'll see from the GT4 owners with cars on the Glovis how long it takes to get their Monroney sticker and when the cars arrive at their respective dealers on the west coast. Congrats to them. Keep us informed.

I am planning to go. First one with the ORPCA -- I used to do them with the Silver Sage (Idaho) region, but the ones here start so early in the morning that I haven't done one yet.

Anyone going to C&C Wilsonville tomorrow? There will be a trio of PTS Spyders attending and it would be nice to see some GT4's present as well.
