Here's my 2004 NB Convertible GLS 1.8 Turbo

I've only had this car for 3 1/2 months, but I'm really enjoying the ride...I never thought I'd be a convertible person, but was I ever wrong!

Yes, I like the key...I usually can't resist showing it to everyone I know at least twice.

Welcome aboard! Great pictures.
Did you use a digital camera? What setting did you use to get the blur background?

I use a somewhat-old-now Olympus C-2100 UZ. It only has 2.1 MP if you can believe it. The pictures sure don't look like it. Of course the 10x optical zoom helps a lot.

The blur background came through processing the photo with Photoshop. I traced and copied just the car part of the photo, used the radial blur function on Photoshop (which blurs the whole picture), and then pasted back in the traced copy (with a little feathering to smooth out the transition.) It takes just seconds to do.
