Default Paul Tolson's GS featured in October PASMAG!

I peeked at the October PASMAG thinking that Bluelex might be featured I think I saw somewhere that he had a PASMAG feature coming up? Anyway Adrian was not featured but Paul Tolson's red 1999 GS400 was featured. I met Paul at HIN in Virginia/DC this year and he seemed like a pretty cool guy. I don't ever recall seeing him on Club Lexus but I wanted to say congrats and see if any of you have met him or had the chance to see his awesome GS in person? If anyone has any good pics of Paul's car please post them.

I've seen that car around the HIN circuit- he generally places very well at shows.

Clearly, the car is built primarily as a show car. There are some unique and creative elements to be sure.

My only negative comment would be that the car needs better detailing- for example, the polished rims on the wheels are tarnished and the centers need a little waxing. Many guys overlook details like this, including cleaning the door jambs, suspension, and wheel wells. To me, it's just one other thing that can make or break a true show car. Would love to see the car out here on the West Coast sometime!

Just my opinion but looks overdone to me. I understand you have to be overdone to consistently win at shows. No hate here just an opinion.

That car is rediculous. Red headlights, carbon fiber tv gas cap cover, robot in the trunk, no FI, and a flat red paint job. yuck.

Show cars get so overdone with junk, most of them look like they came right out of Pimp My Ride.

What ever happened to a clean, well done show car?

(although you should get workin on a bigger turbo set up!)
