G35 Club and the G4 Photoshoot
Well as you no doubt have read in Moog's post, G4 was in Dallas this weekend filming an episode of Street Fury. Moog's post is specific to those who are in are care to hear about team 16niss. For those who weren't invited to the private photoshoot, here is the rundown of Sunday.
As the thread josey started mentioned we all had to send an e-mail to Dan Oliver of the DFW CC with a picture a mod list and contact. After that he either e-mailed you a location to meet or a sorry better luck next time e-mail. (cut 1) About 30 cars showed up this morning and we headed to InterCrew where the shoot was taking place. Once there an asain chick (I assume she was important and had something to do with the show) walked our little "lot" of cars and chose 6 cars from the bunch to actually be feature cars in the shoot:
RX-7
Mazda Speed Protege
2002 NSX
WRX
G35
G35
3 or 4 other cars wer eincluded but they were shop cars and not subject to the same rules for selection. The rest of the cars were sent home with nothing more than a cold rainy drive and wasted gas money. Once the cars were cleaned up we were REQUIRED to put InterCrew stickers on the cars (i assume implying that InterCrew did the work). Those of us with DFW CC stickers were frowned upon. I was interviewed by Big "C" about my car and in the interview I made a point to mention the hard work DFW CC did in organizing all of the cars to be at the location. A special thanks to JD for coordinating the efforts of the DFW CC and the unfortunate speech to all of those not selected that that had to move on. Another special thanks to Dan Oliver of DFW CC for looking at countless mod lists and photos to get so many clean *** cars out to one location at the same time. To have 2 G's picked as feature cars out 30+ was a good day for the G club. Both of us were put head to head with the other cars that turned out for the shoot and we beat them out. it says alot about the car and the people who drive them. A modified Porsche turbo was sent away to give you an idea of the kind of cars that showed up. A few STi's were turned away. An Evo was turned away. the list goes on. But I think it was a great example of the G rides climbing the imoport totem pole and ending up at the top.

Dave I'm really happy to hear that you got to speak w/ Big C on camera. I'm sure you represented the DFW G35 crew well. Let's hope we get to see you on air when the episode is released.
From what I hear, Dan did a great job at recruiting so many nice cars to head out there.

All I have to say....and Moog can attest to this.....That Big "C" guy is just as crazy in person as he is on the friggin show. Lots of "keepin it reals" and oogling the models and not nowing jack about cars.

Congrats on getting picked Dave. This definitely says a lot for the G35 owners and enthusiasts. Sounds like there was some stiff comptetion you went up against to make the cut.
Maybe next time I will "try out" once I'm driving Randy's G

Yeah it seems like theeggman is on hiatus ... I have PM's and emails to him with no response for a while now. His G would have been an easy choice for this as well...

I have to work on Sundays at the airport so I'm unable to make any events on Sundays.
