Took me a while to catch on to this post, haha. And she polished it herself, what a beautiful car. Hows the TT coming along?
I can't explain the log on problems you are having. I never have issues and only rarely here of any from other site members, active members or otherwise. Are you running a wireless connection by any chance? I just logged on to your account and was able to see the photo upload section and Modification update tools and was able to use them. Have you checked the forum website help for profile photos? May be better to email me when you are having problems so we can deal with them offline.
The front page needs updating and I have put out many requests for an up to date photo that is suitable for the site. Someone send me a group photo and I will get it loaded.
Don't know what to say to the world concerning the speed of the site. I have a few ideas of the whys but not much we can do unless we want to rebuild the site on another platform. If we were to do that we would end up losing a few features that make the club easy to run for the officers.
We could talk more about this at a future meeting if anyone is interested in doing so.

Dean took a lot of great photos at the show and they can be viewed here. One of us will probably add these to an event writeup at some also. It was a really great show for us, Thanks Forged Performance for putting this on and doing the cooking and dishes.

Dan have you considered posting the highlights of this thread to TT.net so the info is out there on a good database site. It may save someone some grief later.  I'm really glad that the problem is solved for you.
Toni, Congratulations on the award. Love that little red car.
Not sure how of you were kids in the 60's and 70's  Anyway last night Vancouver, USA opened up the downtown area for an All City Cruise in. It was really amazing to see the loop running again after more than 30 years of the cruise ban. I would say well over 1000 cars showed up for the all night event. Police let us alone to self police and even left the gate to the old Lower River Road strip unlocked. Not sure if this was an accident or by design but it was well used after midnight.
I saw Enrique and his wife a couple of times in their Roadster. I was well camped into the Dairy Queen parking lot with friends I had not seen since HS back in 74 so it was a really great night for me.
For some photos my brother took go to http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2043640&id=612278631&comments=#/photo.php?pid=2043636&id=612278631
The beaches thing is kind of a bummer thats for sure. I have been going to that track since before I could drive and up until this year made more Beaches nights than I missed. That said, all Corvettes are grandfathered in because they helped get the whole thing started at the main Restaurant years ago in Vancouver so they deserve to be there. Went to those to, yeah its kind of a bummer. Got the sticker, got the t-shirt, and now no joy. I think that we should be able to go in also since it is for charity and they always seem to have open space left over. No way am I parking in the outer lot hoping not to get door dings.
Gary are we still on for the meeting next month at PIR?
Hey Guys,
We have been invited to help at the Ridgefield, WA 4th Celebration. Family friendly event If we volunteer to help park cars or be where needed for the parade and cruise in we can get in for parking early on. If you just make the cruise in you would be on your own and in the traffic jamb as Vancouver is not doing in 4th of July celebration this year, BUMMER. Dave needs to know before the 26th so there is no time to talk about it at the next meeting. If you are interested call Dave Standal at his paint shop in Woodland at (360) 225-3747 or try his cell at (360) 903-8995 and let him know and also let the club know.

Hey... what'yall doin' on the 4th of July? If you feel like coming to Ridgefield on the 4th and helping me and Cathy with the cruise-in, we'd be very appreciative. You would also get a free t-shirt that says "Ridgefield Drinks Pepsi". Huh? Sounds awesome! Right? Let me know. Dave ________________________________________ Lauren found her dream laptop.

Hi Robert,
Nice car man. See you at a meeting or something.
Ztune @ Pinks All Out - Kent Washington August 14th & 15th, 2009! Hey guys & girls, I'm very excited to announce that after 4 months of discussions with Pinks, Andrew got himself accepted for the August 14th/15th Pinks All Out arm drop racing @ Pacific Raceways in Kent Washington! Out of over 900 cars that tried to register during the 30 minute registration opening, Andrew was one of the first called back for a spot! Out of almost 500 cars in the event, Andrew will be the only RHD car in the, which also makes him the only Nissan Skyline GT-R! As a lot of you probably know, Andrew lives and breathes motorsports, whether it's drag, drift or street, and spends 90% of his time working on his cars as well as everyone elses! For more information about the car, driver and event, or to join the convoy driving with us for the trip from Vancouver, BC to Kent this August, catch us on GTRCanada.com:

RealCHaos1 Get out of here. We gotta get this on our calendar for next year. I know I would drive up and I think this may be an awesome club stayover, cruise event for Norhtwestz. Can someone email us next year so it can make our calendar early. This rocks
Good idea to bring up at the beginning of meetings.
I added a new help forum item today on: Submitting an Event Writeup for approval I had a couple questions on it the other night so I updated the instructions on the submission pages and posted this information in the web site help forum also.
You must be logged into the site for this function to be visible from the Events page.
The events writeup pages were created to allow NorthWest Z members to easily and quickly create write-ups and post pictures of NorthWest Z events. This type of writeup has many advantages over posting to the forum. It stores a permanent record that is easy to write and upload pictures to as a historical record of the club.
To add a write-up to the NorthWest Z website, there are basically 4 steps involved.
I highly suggest writing your text in an external editor such as Word or Notepad first then copying and pasting it into the text window just in case the site has a glitch or you step away and the site logs you out in the middle of writing your story. This way you will not lose what you worked so hard to get in writing.
Once the writeup is posted send an email to the officers or webmaster for approval. This step helps stop the site from being heavily spammed. Once the writeup and pictures are approved and live, just go to the event writeup section, go to your event and copy the contents of the address bar, then send an email with the address you copied on the email to the group list, and/pr post the link in the forum section to make it easy for people to view it.
Here are the steps, after you have logged and found the Post a Writeup link on the Events page.
1. Upload pictures First, you'll upload the pictures of the event. These can be in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format. The maximum size for images is 640 x 480 pixels, pictures larger than this will be automatically resized. The quality may be better if you resize them yourself, however be patient as this can take some time especially of you have high res photos that have not been reduced in size. 2. Create the text or paste it from your external editor. 3. Click on the thumbnails for the photos that you uploaded to enable them to display. This seems redundant but you will see that it adds the text that actually tells the photos to display. This method has an advantage in that you can place the photos after the text concerning that photo if you would like by placing the cursor after the last line of that portion before clicking the thumbnail for the appropriate photo. Be careful not to click a thumbnail more than once as the photo will just repeat. No worries though as you can edit them out at the end if you do this. 4. Administrator Approval Last, but not least, send an email or otherwise contact an officer or website administrator so they know to approve your write-up and it will then be added to the NorthWest Z website.
GO ahead give it a try!

Johhny,
Try doing an event writeup for past events on this, everyone likes looking at them later and they are really good for the club. They are also really easier than positing to the forum because it resizes and uploads the photos for ya. Ask me tonight at the meeting if you have any questions.
Mike
Hey Pat,
We have the wheel well, rear wheel, and wheel/tire brushes again and I am going to get a set for both of us cause I know you wanted them.
http://www.adamspolishes.com/c-15-accessories.aspx
I am getting more interior cleaner also, and we have a new wheel cleaner that I want to try out if I ever get my wheels dirty. LOL you know how that goes 
Check out the new forum on the site. It has a lot of really good advice on how to use the products.

Z-Sport, best way to post pictures is by an event writeup. Look under Events for the link. Once you have posted them with some comments on the event it places it in a queue for approval so send an email to the officers to have them approve it. It resizes the photos for you also, so it actually saves work.
Gary sent pictures for PRS but no volunteer yet to do the event writeup. If someone will take this on, Gary or I can get the photos to you. Just let us know.
Mike
I will be there but maybe in my Adams booth this time... I will know by the end of the month I hope.
Would someone volunteer to do a write-up on the show, for our past events section? If someone sends me the pictures they have from the show, I can help by prepping them for it and talk whoever wants to post thru the process.
Mike
Don, I agree totally inappropriate but they are kinda fun eh.  Better than mowing the yard or patching drywall anyway.
It was really great having everyone from the club help that could make it. There were a lot of volunteers representing the club this year some members and a lot of non-members also. To pull off an indoor show with over 400 cars with everyone being a volunteer is pretty unique I think. Especially considering that it started in 1956 and this was its 53rd year.
I am looking forward to working some of the kinks out of it over the next year. Thanks again everyone for your help, Mike
