Bay Area is lucky to be getting to have the 370Z in San Jose on the 21 and Sacramento/Elk Grove 11/22.. Post if you plan on going to the Sacramento/Elk Grove stop it would be nice to meet some north bay Nico members as well as the Bay Area ones i've already know..

The Nissan parts dept is selling shirts for this event. They are a black t shirt with the rally map on the back and a Z logo with this stop under it on the left breast. Cool looking shirt. The parts manager told me they are selling them for $12.95. They wont be set up on the lot, so you will have to go to the parts counter inside the show room to get one.

What happen man Didn't have any one come into the shop to visit me except the drivers of the 370's and a couple Team-Driven and ZONC guys, all of which I already knew.Gave the 370 drivers [ they work at/own Zcar garage] a sneek peak at the GT-R communication components case[james bond case]. They wanted to disract me so they could get thier hands on it...lol

It was a great turnout, talked with one of the HIN staff at the event. Cool Group. Asked if They knew of any NICO people and he didnt even know who or what NICO was Oh well their loss I guess. Seems they would with the size of this group.

Did any one from this club make it out to San Jose or Elk Grove??

I came out to the Elk Grove with my friend when we got there the organizer had us park in the front entrance then my friend got to park across from the Z trailer and the 370Z. Funny thing we didn't even register for the event that was real cool And even left with a prize I stopped by parts no one said they new any one in parts/service that was a NICO member I did talk to Joe in sales too..

Shoot me an email we can meet up sometime i'll have a couple friends try to bring there cars..

I have some pics from the event to post later I have to finish uploading them..

If you would have said Team-Driven they would have sent you to service as I work in the service dept. I dont usually mention I am apart of Nico since there aren't that many,if any, Nico gatherings in this area.

How easy is easy? It's relative isn't it? If you know Photoshop, you can do it in less than 5 min. A trick photographers and magazines do is to make a mask of the image (your primary subject) then blur and darken the background. The treatment needs to graduate from foreground to background, so the foreground is less effected to make the image look as natural as possible. In other words, the ground the Z sits on should be left alone, but what's behind it gets more and more blurred and darkened as you get further away in the scene. If you'd like to learn Photoshop, there are plenty of easy to follow tutorial books on Amazon and the big chain book stores.
