Thanks to everyone who helped host one of the largest CL meets in recent memory (I can't remember ever having 19 pages of pre-meet discussion ). This was a huge undertaking, and I'd like to express my deepest appreciation to everyone for coming and making it a success, and most of all to those who worked tirelessly both behind the scenes and at the meet to make it all work.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised it turned out so well - when we got there early this morning to setup, it felt like one of the ten plagues from the Bible - 40 mph gusts and dust everywhere. We toughed it out, and fortunately it worked out - the wind died down a bit, at least enough for us to cook all the food and grub out...

Congrats to Darren (ULTIMaX99) on winning the HID kit, and also to Chris (pingu) for winning his "unique" JDM goodie courtesy of Jay...

I was so busy, I didn't take a single picture, so I'm hoping one of our pro photographers can make some contributions, so we can show everyone how we throw down So-Cal style...

Javier

Awesome pictures!

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=313835

Glad everyone had fun at the event. I woke up this morning thinking "hmmmm- if I left now, I could get there by 1 or 2..." but I had work calling my name so I had to tend to that instead. Looking at the pics now, I should have just bitten the bullet and driven out.

Props out to Michael (mikal) for hooking up the shirts, if anyone needs custom shirts, he's the man.

It was nice meeting you and all the other CL members that I got the chance to talk to.
It was a looooooooooooooong ride home but we made it. No thanks to the regular LA traffic, the SFV traffic due to the wild fires and CHP stopping traffic to pick up debris on the freeway. Oh and to that big white truck that almost slammed into Guillermo.
Hopefully you'll be at the next meet and I'll for sure to take you out in my IS_Bella.

wow, I missed out! Congrats ULTIMaX99 on winning the hid kit from mobilehid.com. Wished I could have been there to win it. I need one.


If you had a camera at the meet, please post up the pictures!

I just wanna say a HUGE thanks to the committee for helping me out with everything. It was a lot of planning in undertaking but it turned out very well.

I also wanted to thank those for coming out in hurricane like conditions! It was nice seeing new faces. I'm only sorry I couldn't meet everyone that was there personally.

Thanks for the pics, Alvin. I'm glad you could make it out and stayed, you non-Lexus owner!

What would've made this meet one of the best was of course, better weather conditions. To give you guys an idea of how close the fire is, check out this map:



The meet was off of Irvine/Jeffrey Blvd. The fire was literally next door to us. I can also see the fire now from my balcony. All I've been hearing are fire trucks wailing for the past 3 hrs.
