Tony casual is the go.

We normally meet in a car park near Rhodes so no different.

Same dress code: none :)

What a great club meet. Best I've been to as far as numbers go and new faces. Over 40 people I believe.

Plenty of good things to write about so I'll post more later.

Thanks everyone that attended, from as far as Brisbane!!!

Thank you for all involved for a great afternoon!

My Coverage!

So this was my first ever Lexus meet (Apart from the lexusownersclub meets years ago), and I have to say its not like anything I went to before. I drove in with the GS to find hardparkers but I didnt see any. Just a sea of stock looking Lexi (?) around.

Sydney City Lexus was more than happy to Host the event, which included Food and Drinks too (Pizza, Sushi, Drinks etc), access to their showroom which included the mighty LFA and even a guest from Lexus (Product Specialist who works on what come in, and was heavily involved with the LFA).

Was a great afternoon, especially finally being able to sit the LFA and hear it at full song. Also present was Danny's ISF WTAC Car (1:38at WTAC).

On with the pictures!

In the Carpark

Vuong's TRD Supercharged IS200, the Whine is very loud, we "cruised" back together as he lives near me.

With 2" Lift Kit :P

This is Jasons Daily, also has a 320rwkw SW20 MR2

The Wed Sports looked great on this 250

Old and New

OK...Inside the showroom. Lexus have really re-designed their cars, and the quality is so good.

Ill start with the First thing that greeted me as I walked in...an SV6 Aurion Sportivo...I mean the New Lexus LS460!! I HONESTLY thought it was an Aurion, especially with those wheels...

The Interior is simple but elegant

Rear seats is lounge like as expected

Quality Stitching

Lexus have seem to have moved on from Wood, Carbon, Granite like finishes, to more snake skin!!

The rear lights mimick the "L" badge

The DRL's are one piece, so no breaks in the light.

It is a beautiful car, BUT It just doesn't look as prestige as it should from the outside.

Tupperware PARTYY

Its big and cool enough o get all the boys cruising down George Street!

[Gorilla]

Next up is the all new IS350 F-Sport. You know, I wasnt a fan of this car, but after seeing it in real life, in this awesome colour, I love it! One thing I really hate is the light washers up front (I didnt grab a pic) but all of them had it.

Inside is a VERY nice place to be in, and that LFA style Dash!

FINALLY!! Lexus have run out of the 80/90's Digital clock parts bin and gone more classy analogue!! Whooo

The snake is back!

The GS is nice too, I didnt check it out too much, but If only it was V8 (Kevlin got me...I wouldnt go for a 250 :P)

Peanut Butter Leather with Black leather dash, perfect

The NEW ES350 was there, and to be honest, was VERY nice! This was an awesome feature! After having a newborn, last week I went searching for those shades for the GS, and the ones I got are too big. This is perfect!

[Gorilla]

Ok..the Finale..the LFA! The Creme De La Creme!

The lines, The sound, The craftmanship!!

Sitting Next to little brother and now outdated ISF!

The White does it for me! Its the colour Id get!

Then they got the keys and popped the CF Bonnet

And this is where the party starts!

Then the driver door, which reveals the Carbon Body!

Then I jumped in...and thats when I stopped taking pics :P

[Gorilla]

video!

[dis-lex-sic]

Time attack IS-F so much louder than the LFA in real life.

Way louder. Doesn't sound that much louder in that clip though.

The ISF was actually painful on the ears it is that loud.

[coconut2001]

Nice pics and coverage, was a great meet!

[FLEX]

Ill try and get my barrel up tonight. it was a "more busy than usual" weekend ...

Great seeing old faces as well as new!

[marvin]

Hey all,

Just wanted to say a massive thanks for putting the meet together. This was one of the best Lexus experiences I have had and definately mate it worth the drive from Brisbane! I'll be posting some of my pics soon!

Hope to see you guys in the near future!

[FLEX]

Marvin, you def deserve a big HI 5 for making the trip!

[marvin]

Cheers FLEX,

I don't think I was the only one who made the trip. I think there was some members from Melbourne there too.
