Hi all

First time ive posted here always wanted to wait until i had a deal in place for a isf, and now i have, its the silver one that Huw at Oxford Specialist cars has for sale and i travel down from Scotland in 2 weeks to view it, test drive it, and take it home all in the same day. Cant wait, im like my 6 year old daughter counting down her sleeps to her birthday party next week. anyway start work at midnight so bed time, looking forward to being more involving within the club now.

got my Lexus is200 Sportcross just along the road from there in Gillingham almost 2 years ago, neighbour owns it now, 158000 miles and still as tight as it left the factory in 2003.

if a meet is organized somewhere in the middle of the country that would be good, being from Scotland. But not in the winter dont want road salt on my isf lol

[Spacewagon52]

[Mark G]

Top man, you will love it, and what a drive back...........eco mode...Pahh!!

[DT_Racing]

Soon as you hear it roar at 3700rpm there will be no Eco mode. You'll just want more...

 

enjoy

[Warrington guy]

Get it in sports mode . Always drive mine in it 

[Mark6pot]

Cheers guys all, for the comments.

I know it's one of the older cars about but I got car magazine 8 years ago for the review on this beast, since then I've been watching prices come down to my comfortable level. This is the exact car they had to review.

Well guys, got the isF on friday from Huw at "Oxford Specialist Cars" who i would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a car.

ive not posted before this as ive been to caught up in the isF, what a car this is around town its so easy to drive you wouldnt know it has a big powerful engine well until you give it the gas peddle, in sport mode it stays up in the revs where the power is and roars as soon as you tap the peddle even a wee bit.

i gave the brother a shot today and he couldnt stop laughing every time he floored the faster peddle, its such an acceptable family car until the engine roars he said.

My wife got the fright of her life in it flooring it.

Our 7 year old daughter got the giggles like her uncle and said it makes her tummy feel funny.

The way the steering comes out to meet you and the speedo and tacho needles coming to life its as though the car has a heart and soul and is asking you if your ready.

I will get pics up soon.

gave it a polish today and in that silver colour it really shows of its curves.
