Right here:

2010 Nissan 370Z Wood Grain Dash Kits | Carbon Fiber

:tup:

They have them for dashes with navi and without. And lots of different color options and styles! Blue/Black carbon was just the perfect choice for me. ;)

Hey Tony, that CF dash thing looks real nice! The blue is perfect for your Z! I just got my oil cooler and brake pads installed so I'm now a "go car"!

Picture Link from Z Con 2010 and some other stuff....
 
A "smug-mug" link from the VP of the ZCCNV (Beth) whom some of you met at ZDayZ this Spring. Anyway she's posted some pretty good photos from last weekend's Z Con from Nashville. ZCCA Nashville 2010 - zladyeducator64's Photos Next year's event is in Savannah, GA -- we are thinking about attending...

Just wanted to mention that I hope I'm not breaking an unwritten Mid A group rulez for the meet this Saturday, but I'm bringing a freakin camping chair (maybe 2 ea.) on Sat to sit my lazy arse in........ I think it promotes group camaraderie (and my own personal comfort) :icon17:

Also bringing some samples of a DRAFT Mid A group "Z Card" (like a business card) based on a design beaujolais's helped me put together. If I can get energetic tomorrow, I might even be able to send out an electronic copy sometime tomorrow -- anyway, just something for the gathered to review and provide feedback on......

See Ya'll Saturday -- and don't forget LUNCH! Just a thought.....it is time for another visit to Todai's?

I don't mind if you bring a chair at all! I like being up and walking around myself, but it does me no favors for you to have sore feet. :)

I was thinking of bringing an accessory with me as well. If I have time, I'll do eet.

I'm up for Todai's, although that'll mark 3 out of the 4 meals I've eaten with you folks to be sushi. Not that I'm complaining! :tup:

Edit: that fourth out of four meals was Gordon Biersch, where I had already eaten sushi for lunch. :bowrofl:

yeah when I was still part time at best buy that video circulated around. An employee made it, and then was fired because of it. Which I think is gay.

m4a1mustang 08-06-2010 12:07 PM

I will be there tomorrow!

I'll see you there then!

Attached are a couple of variations (.pdf is attached) of a Mid A group "Z Card". These were intended to be "generic" (e.g. not 370Z specific) to be more inclusive of the larger group.

Obviously, these are just up for consideration by the group -- I'm sure there are multiple design options, and certainly others may have a different design for consideration -- no pride in authorship here.

Anyway, the actual design document is in MS Word 2007, so personal edits can be made -- will make those available by request -- just shoot me a PM with the desired e-mail address you'd like me to shoot the template to.

All from here -- see ya'll tomorrow.

Since I'm working tomorrow - could we put the 10:00 Sat meeting place and all Z's welcomed?

I don't think that will be a problem, although it might be something we have to add to the back of the card (the time and location info) -- can easily add an "All Z's Welcome" slogan to the front of the card -- or maybe that goes on the back as well. I'll work up a couple of options for folks to look at.

Liking the top left one myself but all are equally nice. I particularly like the curves of the Z!

Great idea, although I think maybe a space/line to write the time on.
Then it's not fixed should you change venue or time later, like the Chantilly meet.

Also how about some color? ;)

m4a1mustang 08-07-2010 10:32 AM

Brian, lunch is at Todai around noon.

If this was intended for me - Thanks but didn't leave until 2:15.

If it wasn't - it should have been:)

Any way, driving home saw the white 370 Nismo from Brown's on a test drive. Reminded me I needed to go to Brown's for them to check my front fascia. I talked with the guy who was looking to buy it and I told him of the fun we had so maybe we'll have a new member soon.

I am in for next Saturday - Where are we doing lunch - hungry already:)

Next Saturday we're going to try to organize at the usual location and caravan over to Burke Lake park to grill out. :tup:

Sscottfitz 08-07-2010 03:30 PM

Burke Lake Park, Fairfax County Park Authority

AND MR. M4A1MUSTANG, JACK BAUER IS NOT :superghey:

Well then I got my facts wrong. But I remember he was arrested for being drunk as heck in a gay bar.

Might of been there looking for terrorists....:icon17: Sorry, off topic.....

I'll try to get out to Burke Lake sometime this week and see if there are any good candidate locations for grilling next Saturday...hopefully we'll get some decent weather -- today would have been perfect.

SHIROZE 08-07-2010 04:08 PM

Thanks for the offer, but I've got a brunch and NASCAR scheduled for tomorrow. If you do go out it, it be nice to just get a feel for some possible "grilling" locations -- I've lived here for 15+ years and never been out there......

ZCarMan 08-07-2010 05:51 PM

Hey, just a note to say it was great to again meet up and continue to the meet and eat theme of our get togethers. Jay, Al, Steve, Steve , Deb, and Amar, See you next time!

SHIROZE 08-08-2010 05:38 PM

Nice selection of 35/37s & 350s, but no 370s:( at Burke Lake.

If you guys want to meet their for a cook out, reservations might be needed.

shadoquad 08-09-2010 10:48 AM

Hey everyone. Had a great time Saturday! I should be available for this weekend. Just let me know where/when.

"Final Draft" -- Mid A Z Card
 
2 Attachment(s)
OK, so here are the final drafts for comment/suggestions. After discussions on Saturday, I altered the approach a little with a Front & Back design.

- Front design is intended to be a "generic" group info, when & where we meet, forum contact info, etc.

- Back design is intended to be an "optional" back of card design for those who wish to add personal contact info.

Personally, I don't think there is a right or wrong design, I think as long as the info is consistent, it doesn't really matter....

THAT SAID, you will note I drafted a couple of "group names" -- I'll defer to the group as to which one is preferred -- pretty sure there are positives & negatives to both, also sure there are other names so I'll just leave those out there for feedback.

Once we get a consensus (or something close to that), I'll finalize the designs and post them -- Editable design is done in MS Word 2007 -- templates are designed to fit the Avery Business Card Stock #5371

Ok- so I looked at the front and my ADD kicked in - I vote for whatever says "All Z's Welcomed" - thanks for the time and effort:)

SECKS Z 08-11-2010 10:09 AM

These are awesome!!!!

I like the card on the right with the Z's and the logos as the wheels.
I think you should take out the bit about Kohl's and just say the Starbucks and the address. All Z's Welcome is fine. If you don't want to do color, we could change the typeface and make it a little jazzier (but still easy to read quickly). If you do decide to use color then try it with the Mid-Atlantic Z Group, the bold Z's and Coffee, and the bottom All Z's Welcome. And mayyyyyyybe try color on the outline of the cars (which color is the dilemma though) or you could make different color options and we can just choose which color and print it that way.

Thanks guys- you rock. ;)
