Default Pics of the 5/18/03 Jillian's-PA meet

As promised, here are some eye candy of what went down at the Philly meet in the parking lot of Jillian's entertainment complex. First off, from left to right, we have the GS's of Phillycat-24, Sandrock, and 2001HiTechGS...

Another angle shot of the GS's, plus my ES This is a good step-back view of HiTech's and Sandrock's rims.

Up-close shot of Sandrock's rear lip, rims and body kit. Very nice and clean-looking, Sandrock!

This is one of the most awe-inspiring electronics feature I've seen on any car. It's a rear-view camera mechanism hooked up on HiTech's GS300, with monitors at the front, behind the driver's headrest, and under the trunk door (as seen here)

Paul's GS430. He's got a cool tacked-on feature for the license plate so that the intersection traffic cameras won't be able to clearly capture the license number. As you can see here, the number doesn't show up at all from my camera, and it's definitely no Photochop...

Under the hood of the GS430. I kinda dig the solid and brilliant appearance of the engine cover. GS's are strong engines!

Rear lineup of our Lex. That's Chuck's blue GS up front, one of the best-looking body colors on any Lexus!

2nd try... ahhh, much better and more consistent, just like the way cars line up at a dealership. Thanks Chuck for helping to make this kind of camera shot happen

Last one folks. I think everyone's somewhat amazed I happened to take the time to drive down 150 miles for the meet. It's all about expanding your mind and horizons, and ClubLexus seems to evoke that kind of mindset in different ways. There's nothing more enjoyable than meeting new people, garner advice, exchange stories, etc. etc. In any case, I'm glad we pulled off another well-satisfying meet, and special thanks to Paul and Sandrock for making everyone feel welcome. Next meet: NYC/CT style?
