Thank you everyone for joining us @ CVG. It was great to see the valley come together for this event. There were alot of sweet rides in the parking lot. Lexus, Infiniti's, Benz, Audi and more.http://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Also, those who brought food and drinks to the potuck, "Thank You". That was totally Family style.http://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

It was a treat to have Glen(RMMGS4) and all "OG Veteran members" come out from the bay area and support "CVG". Even Andy(PandaGS430) from So cal made it.

I tried meet everyone, but I got too involved with the Wine.http://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif Then Tee(Martini3) made me an awesome drink:spillbeer: that snuck up on me later. haha.

Special thanks to Isaac(WHITELINES) & his gf Vicki for waking up early & driving the cargo van.

Tom and I are looking forward to doing this again next year.... CVG 2 http://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gifhttp://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif
