“On Sunday October 2, 2011 eight NSX’s met at The Shop San Bruno to install the much needed window upgrade developed by fellow NSX owner (Hugo Almeida) from Portugal.
To start from the beginning, through NSXPrime I have been in communication with Hugo asking if he had any plans to return to the United States (specifically San Francisco California) to assist NSX owners with the installation of his window upgrade kit. As it turned out Hugo informed me he could extend his trip while in the US to attend NSXPO in New Jersey and fly out to San Francisco California.
Once Hugo gave confirmation of the dates he would be available, I went to The Shop in San Bruno and spoke with the owner Matthel Ma. As I described to Matthel what I was planning, I then asked if he would open his shop on Sunday October 2, 2011 for this window upgrade meet? Matthel didn’t hesitate and said yes immediately. After thanking Matthel, I then posted on NSXPrime that a friend of mine had agreed to host this event at his shop.
The Shop San Bruno was perfect as there was enough room to accommodate the eight NSX’s comfortably and tables were available as make shift work benches to perform the install of the window upgrade kit in the NSX window regulators.”
For those that didn’t go to the SPOCOM show, you missed out on a nice show. The show wasn’t too big, it wasn’t too crowded. Definitely the ladies out numbered the cars, it usually is a given though. Some of your favorites like Christine Mendoza and Elissa Alva were in attendance. Unlike Hot Import Nights, there were no flashy lights, no rice rockets, all the cars were tasteful. If you didn’t know, there were a couple of screening events for cars to be in the show, and I know a couple of people whose cars were not chosen to be placed in the show, so the cars were hand chosen.
The day started off early, I met up with some folks before we all headed to San Mateo for set up.
Thanks to the guys at Memory Fab for inviting us to their warehouse for a nice BBQ. The Memory Fab warehouse was unbelievable. Never have I seen so many sets of wheels, to that BBS RS wheels. Dave, the owner of Memory Fab, is for sure the NorCal wheel king. If anyone and I mean anyone that is looking for rare wheels, MemoryFab.com is the way to go. Later on in the day we started to take some photos, many of the cars pictured you may know, as they are huge in the NorCal import scene. Here are some of the pics, for the whole album visit http://CCastro.SmugMug.com
