Wow! Nigel, I didn't know you were gonna make a grand entrance like this! Holy crap!Now this is what I call contributing to help others! Thank's for the compliments and hopefully we can hook up and share info soon! Welcome to CL!
Hi all,
I recently bought a 98 GS 300. I have loved these cars from the beginning. I was very please to find this forum, quite by accident to be exact. I found a clip of Automan’s GS, nice ride by the way, when researching Lexus models and he mentioned CL in the clip. I located the site and joined that day, about a month now. I would like to thank everyone for all the information that is provided from this site. Everyone is very knowledgeable and also so willing to help. I have contacted Wringo since he lives close to me in Central Florida and can't wait to meet him, moreover to see his car. Thanks Wringo for answering all my questions. I hope my schedule changes in the near and I can make it to some of the local club meets. I never planned on doing any mods to a car I think is beautiful stock but after looking at many of your cars I know that I will.
I have compiled some threads from this site that I think will be helpful to many new guys looking for answers like I am. Thanks to all the members who answered by no means I am taking any credit for anything so I apologize in advance if I offend anyone for using their thread.
Mods I hope this is ok.

Wringo, thanks for all your help man. I am so glad that I got in touch with you. I know that you made me feel at ease about buying the 300. I hope we can hookup in the near future, even if it just to meet in person.
I hope you can use some of this stuff even though your car is slamming already. lol
Just glad I can do something to help out other members.
