So, I pull into the parking lot of the Rutherford Grill, in Rutherford CA - wine country - and find a nice shady spot. I no more than turn off the motor when these Japanese tourists come over. This Japanese speaking leader asks if they can take a photo of the two girls with him, next to my car or inside. Knowing the tutorial was going to take forever to get the two inside the car and back out unscathed (hot pipes!) I told them to stand along side the car. So, the girls stand next to the car and I step out of the way. As I look over one of the very nice young non-English Japanese girls puts out her arm to me to be in the picture. So I saunter on over and she gives me a big hug, everone starts laughing and the cameras started clicking. Guess "Zoomie" is going back to Japan on Kodak paper. It was all a lot of good natured fun.

As I walked away into the restaurant I looked back to see half a dozen people around the car pointing a taking more pictures. These cars are certainly the celebrity!!
