Default Where are they NOW? GS NOSTALGIA THREAD

If you know of a member from the PAST (OG) that has since dissappeared or faded away and you have an update on them or their car, their whereabouts and WHAT THEY ARE DOING TODAY, please feel free to post it on this NOSTALGIA Thread.

Let's set criteria for an OG as having a register date no later then "2004 or roughly 5 years ago or later.


Here's a pic from Beginning of Summer Meet in 2004.

A couple of these cars are gone, though one members is quite radically different now. All of the members still post once in a while and one in particular remains quite active. It's nice to reflect back at all the people I've met on CL and I'm proud to say these guys continue to be my very good friends.

Can you identify the OGs cars?

You got it Rich


Dee's GS (First Blue GS in pic) is a distinctive car. You can't miss ID it for someone else's car.

Today the car is NOW in the hands of Aristo2369 "Alex".


Alex posted a "WOW" thread to get opinions on what he could do to update his set up into something fresh. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ow-factor.html

He's made some changes since he posted the pics below when he first bought the car last summer.



It's good to see this car stay in the family and in good hands.

I realized after looking at the link that the black one was pandags430, what a transformation his car has undergone, and I didnt realize the one on the end was Henrys, although how can you mistake the UGO front lip

I would say your car is still one of the top 3 GS on this site or anywhere for that matter

Thanks Rich. It's good to see some of us OGs still hanging in there.

I'm going to continue digging up old members from the past and post any updates on what happened and where they are today.

I guess I should have just asked EVERYONE to post any updates on old members who may have disappeared but someone knows "WHERE THEY ARE" today. Let's set critera for an OG as registering no later then "2004 or roughly 5 years ago or later.

Anyone else, please feel free to post on this thread. I will edit the title.

It never gets old looking at the OG GS', they really set a tough standard back in the day that is still not very easy to achieve today. Thanks for the thread, that is a great idea. I still wonder what happened to all the OGs and where they and their GS' are today.
