I would first of all like to express my appreciation for the Socal crew and the hospitality they showed us Norcal folks. I have been to a few local Norcal meets (BOS, EOS). This the first time I have ever participated in a cruise of this nature.
Also, special thanks to Tommy for opening his house and BBQ grill for some wonderful BBQ dinner, it was just what we needed after a long drive down from Norcal and having to deal with another member's overheating SC300, but we were all able to overcome all the problems that crept up and were all able to make it to the show and back home safely and ticket free (thanks Valentine One) and thank you god.
The turnout was just incredible, I have never seen so many modded Lexus cars in one place before. I am already planning on attending if there is another cruise/meet next year. The drive down to Socal was also quiet fun due to all the looks we all would get from other drivers along the route.
I returned back home at 8pm on Monday night, I came back home through highway 101 N so that I could show my wife (she has only been in the U.S.A. for a month now) the California coastline. We would have made it home sooner (left Ventura County around 12 noon), but the wifey wanted to stop along and way and shop.
Also, Glen, thanks for the leadership and helping to organize the cruise and logistics.
Thanks once again Socal family for all the love you showed us Norcal members.
