Really good turnout. I've never seen that part of napa before, lots of awsome houses out that way. I'm actually a little surprised we didnt have to deal with any local PDs, especially in downtown St. Helena of all places. I'm sure those locals havent ever seen anything like that before haha.

It was great seeing everyone yesterday and meeting some new faces. Thanks again Will for the belt change. It had to have taken you what less than 10 min? Amazing.
Well it was good we decided to change our direction in freeways after the Napa Cruise. There was a 28 car pile up on 101 around the area of Sausalito very early Saturday morning due to slush on the road.
It turned out to be a really nice day and driving on the back roads of Napa was great, we just need to go a little faster.
Thanks Solo for showing us that Quickly spot. I still couldn't understand the commercials they were advertising. Strangest I ever saw...
Some funny moments of the meet:
Teeman getting stuck in the mud and a bunch of us pushing him out.
Prelude on the freeway that acting like an idiot. Everyone was laughing on the walkie talkies.

I can't believe that I forgot my camera!!! 
It was great seeing a lot of you guys again, the turnout was better than I expected! I woke up in the morning and all I saw was blue sky outside my window. It was funny because I ran into one of my friends who happened to be a limo driver at the winery. He said that the people who he was driving around for the day said to him "What's going on? Is the Asian mafia here or something?" LMAO...I'm sure it was a sight for many people in St. Helena to see so many Lexus's all in one spot. In the words of a passerby "Wow so many Lexus's, they're all so nice!!!" Hahaha 
Sorry we couldn't join you guys for dinner or anything though. It had been a very long day for us and my puppy was sick at home so I had to go and check on her. It seems like you guys had a blast though. Did I hear tapioca? Mmmm...yummy. Next time..next time.
When we split off from everyone in Napa we took some verrrrryyyy nice backroads back into Fairfield on 121 so keep that in mind everyone. We did some uh "spirited driving" on the way home. Once again it's was really nice seeing some old faces and meeting a bunch of new people. See you all at the next meet!!!
...I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT MY CAMERA!!!!!!!!!

. Unfortunately was not able to attend the entire cruise since I had prior plans. Glad that everyone had a good time, and the weather cooperated.

You're welcome Ron. I'll bring more samples at the next meet, depending on where it is

Norcal ClubLexus Decal?
TAMR_Gus98 can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe thats two decals. One of top of the other. Nice touch though!
More pics are coming, trust me. Who had the pics of Teeman in the mud? We only had the group photos at the winery, there are a few more. I have 141 some pics and kinda to lazy to post them, either RMMGS4 or Flipside909 will post up the choice shots.

1. Whats up with all the lies and excuses? You didnt want to go to the dinner for the same reason I didnt want to go. TOO FAR!! Gas sucks.
2. That was indeed a really fun road to drive on off of 121 but i have no idea what your talking about. We drove responsibly on those twisties.
3. James "The mingle master"- Nice to meet you. Fix your headlights.
